My Current Favorites (April 2018)

Today I want to share with you my current favorites. This time I have a variety of things that I am loving, some of them that make life easier, some more enjoyable and others fun. It think you will be surprise.

The first thing I have to talk about are the Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipsticks. Not having to reapply my lipstick during the day is amazing. I normally apply my lipstick by 7:00 am, just before starting work, and the days I have classes I am usually taking my makeup off very late at night, and on most days me lipstick stills looks good, not perfect, but good. This are the only ones I have been wearing on those long days, so that I can go about my day without having to think about lipstick. Believe when I say that it’s been hard trying not to buy every single shade, but this grown woman has another responsibilities (you can read about that here), so I am trying me best.

I have been using MAC Cosmetics Prep + Prime Fix+ to set my makeup for quite some time now, but recently I have changed the way I used it and my makeup as been looking and feeling so much better. Now instead of using it as a setting spray I have been using it as a primer. After I apply my serums and moisturizers I spray it on my face and when my face dries I then apply my makeup.  It helps keep my face hydrated, with a glow, but not oily or extremely shiny. Even on days I am not wearing makeup I use it, it has become part of my skincare routine.

If you have read my blog before, you know I am all about body products, especially body wash with delicious scents. I am bit weird and I like having one to use on the mornings, other at nights, and I have another I use when I take a shower at a different time of the day and when I scrub, since right now they are the same scent. But my favorite off all is the one I use at night. This Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Body Wash in the scent Comfort is so good. I am convinced that it helps me relax after a long day before going to bed. I have been incorporating mindfulness into my shower routine, and being present and aware of the sent, the bubbles it forms (I use a loofah with it) and the warm water, it has made taking a shower at night an amazing experience, something to look forward to every day. And then applying the body butter is just like the cherry on top.

My other favorite goes in hand with the last one. Another good smelling product, but this time for my apartment. Since the day I started moving to my apartment I put a Bath and Body Works Wallflower Plug in my bedroom with the scent Watermelon Lemonade and that is the officially scent of my place. Since then I bought another one, this time for the kitchen, and the lady who helped that day definitely knew how to sell me the Wallflowers Duo Plug, and I have no regrets. I have changed the scent of my room to the Comfort scent and my favorites for the kitchen are Watermelon Lemonade and Black Cheery Merlot (Future Hubby’s favorite scent). When I get home the first thing I do is inhale deeply to savor my good smelling home.

This product I think it may come as a surprise. Yes, one of current favorites is a Prep Solutions by Progressive Microwave Rice Cooker. Oh, how I love this thing! I have been telling everyone I can that they need one ASAP. I enjoy cooking, but I do not enjoy doing the dishes, and I usually wouldn’t make rice just so that I didn’t’ have to wash the pot after ir, plus I am going to be real, I still haven’t mastered the art of rice making (that’s Future Hubby’s thing, he knows how to make it, I do the pasta and other things). But with this my days of not cooking rice (at least white plain rice) are over. It’s so easy to use, the rice tastes good, and the best part, it’s easy to clean. I am serious, you need this in your life.

Another favorite is Harry Potter. Yes, I am still obsessed with it (you can read more about here). I don’t know what it is, but I love Harry Potter. One of my gifts from Future Hubby this past Christmas was the complete Harry Potter series. Since I am always reading books, and most of the time not finishing them, I did not wanted to start the series yet, because I felt that I had no time, but it was there tempting me every time I looked at my bookshelf, and finally I caved in. I am just finishing the first book, but if I was obsessed with the movies, I am going crazy with the book. To summarize it, more details, more to the story, more obsessed, end of story. Reading Harry Potter has me day dreaming about going back to Universal Studios in Orlando.

So, that’s it. I will love to know your current favorites, and also if you have suggestions of things I should try, please let me know in the comments section below.

Never Stop Dreaming,
