Quarantine week 5928398 in the books. Okay, not really but it sort of feels like the new normal. Overall it was a great week over here. I’ve been spending some time outside (in my go to sun hat) working before it gets too hot in Texas. We are finalizing some details on our next home renovation project this afternoon & of course, have no real plans this weekend. We’ve done some DIY projects the past few weekends so it will be nice to sort of just hang. I definitely plan to chill in the hammock & catch up on some reading. Whatever you do, I hope it is wonderful & you can take time to celebrate the mom’s in your life. If you are one yourself, then I hope you feel as appreciated as I know you are! There are some seriously good sales happening this weekend in honor of Mother’s Day. I am rounding all of my recent cute finds, all of the weekend sales, some discount codes, & recent blog posts in this week’s edition of The Weekly Lo Down with you all.
The Weekly Lo Down
Last month’s most popular item, my 3-step retinol system that I use twice a year, is on sale again. This stuff is SO good. It truly transformed my skin. I also found this under eye treatment cream with the best reviews & this mask duo on sale.
I have been updating my Amazon storefront the past week or so. If you haven’t check it out or if you aren’t sure what it is, it’s a roundup on Amazon of all my top picks & favorite items that I’ve found. I broke it all down by categories to make it easy for you all to shop!
I’ve gotten a few requests for similar options to my Isabel Marant baseball hat. I’m working on a full hat roundup for summer, but in the mean time I like this one (just ordered it), this one, & this one for chic baseball hat options.
I ordered this mascara during the Sephora sale to try & have been loving it the past two weeks. It is really buildable to create volume, but it doesn’t rub off all throughout the day which I love.
Today marks one more month of work at my job as a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology. ICYMI, I quit my job & am going to be pursuing blogging full time. Thank you again to all of you for your support!! I am so grateful.
Did you catch my biker short try on yesterday on stories? I tried four affordable pairs & styled them all different ways. You can see them all on my Instagram highlights or in this blog post, too.
I just got two new pairs of shoes in this week that I’ll be wearing around the house until further notice. This cute black pair (similar version on sale) with an adorable toe detail & a short block heel + this neon pair with such a fun heel detail!
I just finished this book yesterday & now started this one as I slowly make my way through my Spring reading list. What have you all read & loved lately?
I just ordered this eyeliner for my water line. I usually use this one in white, but wanted to try out this one for a more subtle effect & because I’ve heard such great things! I also ordered this blush finally in the shade captivating.
I did a little story session about my every day jewelry that you can view on highlights. I linked everything in this LTK post & have all of my jewelry included in this blog post. I got some questions on how I keep necklaces from tangling & this amazing invention is my answer!
One of my favorite eyeshadow palettes is on sale along with my go to eyeshadow primer, setting spray, & a few other goodies.
I also found my BeautyBio at home microneedling tool on sale! This helps soo much with cell turnover & collagen production.
