Friday Five

1. It's hard for me to find products that work for my skin because my skin is so easily irritated. This is why I am usually very hesitant to work with skincare companies or test out new skin care without doing extensive research on the products. With that said, I've sworn by Caudalie's detox mask for a while now and can truly say that it is genuinely one of the masks that makes my skin look the best the next day, so when they reached out to me to send over some products you could just imagine how excited I was about it.So far the new products I've tried from them are the followingGlycolic peel : Great for removing layer of dead skin and revealing brighter more even skin. it is also very gentle compared to other chemical exfoliants I've tried so it is perfect for sensitive skin.Beauty elixir : One of my absolute favorites so far, this stuff makes my skin so plump and hydrated, my skin really loves this stuff. I spray it on right after cleansing and to set my makeup and it seriously makes my makeup look soooo much better & makes my face feel so smooth.Vinosource moisturizing sorebet  : Such a great lightweight yet very hydrating moisturizer, you can use it for both daytime and nighttime use. However, I prefer this one for daytime.Premier cru the serum: I think this is the product that has made the biggest difference in my skin in the shortest amount of time, honestly this is a little bit of magic in a bottle. I apply this at night after cleansing and my skin looks so plump and even the next morning, it also feels EXTREMELY soft.Premier cru cream: I've been applying this at night right after the serum and while it is not the heaviest moisturizer out there it sufficiently hydrates and moisturizes my skin and I think that it boosts the results of the serum.Overall, I am so happy with the way my skin has been looking since I incorporated these products into my routine and I will definitely be repurchasing some of them once I run out.

2. As most of you may know I absolutely love the Glossier You perfume so I am so excited that they came out with something so innovative and travel friendly, the solid form! I can just slip this into my purse and have it with me on the go and it is so fun to put on. It is basically a solidified balm that you rub your fingers on and can just put on your skin, surprisingly it does a very good job at transferring the scent onto your skin, just as if you were to have sprayed it on.You can receive 20% off your first glossier order by shopping with me HERE3. The TV show that has been consuming my life lately is Outlander. If you guys ever read my post on finding inspiration you would know that one of my main sources of inspiration is television, specifically shows or movies that speak to my aesthetic. I definitely recommend you give it a watch if you have not seen it, I still haven't finished it yet but so far it's a really great show and a beautiful innovative story.4. Mejuri is launching their latest "boyfriend collection" on Monday the 19th and I'm really loving how bold yet minimal this piece is. I really appreciate pieces that you can just throw on and go and you don't really have to think much about it because it makes a statement all on it's own.There is limited stock on this collection so be sure to sign up for early access HERE5. We are going to start working on our faux fireplace soon and here are some inspo pictures that have been hyping me up to get started on this project.

Friday Five

1. Got some goodies from Mejuri yesterday. I own 4 of their rings & I cannot express in words how much I love this brand. They create some of the most beautiful designs I've ever seen in jewelry. The majority of their pieces are very simple and minimal but believe me when I tell you that the quality is amazing. 

Stay tuned on my Instagram to see how I style these. 

2. Installed my sconce from my old room. You can see my old room tour here.  

I do not think that in order to create a beautiful space you need to spend a lot of money. A lot of the pieces I own for my house are either vintage, from target, Ikea or other affordable stores.  You don't need to be ballin' to create a home that you really love. 

However, I am a firm believer in choosing where to spend your money. Accent pieces such as lighting are where I tend to splurge a bit more because they are the finishing touches that really bring everything together. Don't get me wrong, I've found beautiful lighting for affordable prices but throwing in some cool, unique pieces even if they are a bit on the pricier side here & there really add character to your home, in my opinion.

3. Remember the super bounce I talked about in last weeks Friday five? LOVING IT. I put it on after I cleanse my face in the morning and at the end of the day I notice that my skin looks so plump and hydrated, sometimes I don't even use a moisturizer and it works really well by itself. Another win from glossier, can't say I'm surprised though. 

They also released their birthday balm dot com yesterday and you guysssss, it seriously smells so good you'll want to eat it ! Plus it has the most beautiful subtle holographic shimmer inside.

4. This bathroom transformation is probably my favorite thing on the internet right now. I cannot think of a single thing I dislike about this bathroom. It's perfect. I seriously think Bre has the best decor style & she has inspired me a lot in my home. You should definitely follow her if you don't already. 

5. Finally got our woven shade up! We opted for a cordless shade in the kitchen to avoid having the string hanging on the side & being in the way. It looks so flush and we are obsessed! Can't wait to slowly put these shades around the whole house. Since our house consists of mostly huge sliding doors, putting shades on the entire house is very expensive so we have to do it slowly. We are so happy with the quality of these shades though.  It's crazy how the finishing touches really transform a space.

- Just wanted to give a quick thank you to everyone who has subscribed to my youtube channel, I hit 20k this week which is why I'm including it in my Friday Five. It's so bizarre & cool that 20,000 people liked my videos enough to hit that little button. I appreciate you all. xx
