All My Favorite Mauve and Nude Lip Products

January 28, 2024 No Comments

Mauve and nude lip colors have my heart and wallet. These shades are my favorite to wear on a daily. Over the years the collection of my favorite neutral lip products has grown. Needless to say I do not need to add another neutral shade lip product to my collection for a while. I think all of these lipsticks and glosses would be great additions to your collection as well. They pair easily with casual to dressy looks. I personally believe my makeup is not complete until I add something to my lips.

The Books I Read in 2023

December 30, 2023 No Comments

The books I read in a year are some of my favorite posts to share! I genuinely enjoy reading as a way to slow down and relax. It is my favorite way to connect with others who I know read as well. This past year was a busy one so my goal for 2023 to give myself at least 30 minutes per day to read was not as successful as I hoped. But, I am still going into 2024 with the same goal!
