Good Morning dear friends! Is your week going well? Have you been busy? Are you ready for the weekend? Have you been drinking enough water?

I’ve had a very busy week! I think I went through about sixty zoom calls this week and a million zoom meetings. My head is about to explode. I always know I’m getting tired when I start replying to comments and I’m missing words. I fail to catch myself until much later and I’m positive the person I’m replying to is thinking, “WTH did she say?”

Ok, so, I brought myself the Coach x Disney Belle Crossbody Bag and Wallet. I miss trips to Disney so damn much (damn you COVID!)! Speaking of Disney did you catch the Little Mermaid Collection Makeup Revolution that launched today. I’m holding out because…they also, have a Beauty and the Beast one that’s out in the UK which I’m positive will make an appearance in the US soon! I’m going to try hard not to do Ariel’s Collection and wait on Belle’s no promises I’ll succeed.

Oh by the way, this week’s snack of choice is Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears! Cheat weekend is looming so I’m totally eating some chocolate covered gummy bears. I’m not admitting my bad behavior but I may or may not bite the heads off to see if they are red or not (I really like the red ones). Never tried them? GO BUY SOME NOW! They are so nommy. I actually can’t find them outside of movie theaters but there’s a pastry and chocolate store in Rhinebeck and when I head upstate for the weekend I’ll grab a small bag.

So, you know I changed my retinol recently right? I’m trying something new and it’s made my skin a bit dry and flaky. I’m thanking the skincare gods this week for Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid! It’s my favorite HA anyway but this week I’m having a super love fest with it. It really helps smooth out those dry areas.

And finally, I’m learning to embrace my push myself too hard good nature. I do the most. I mean, I’m really disciplined with myself. I always tell people to take it easy and go slow, relax….but I never take that advice for myself and I’m not really unhappy about that. I think I like myself best when I’m pushing myself harder, going the extra mile, doing things the right way and not the easy way. I dunno if that makes sense. I like rules and I like following them. I’ve started to be unapologetic about pushing myself hard to be my best. It’s not a bad thing right? It’s just sometimes I get grief from family and friends about how disciplined I am about everything. But I’m all about pushing myself! I can’t say sorry for that.

Anyway, these are the things I love this week.

Share your love list….! I love reading them.

Be good humans today!

I’m walking around in a cloud of fluffy marshmallows with sweet orange blossom and I’m reeling in the compliments everywhere I go today. The girl that asked me outside Starbucks what I was drinking because it smelled so sweet (I was drinking Espresso Frappuccino). I shrugged and told her it was an Espresso Frapp (Don’t judge me, I really needed a hit of caffeine today! I normally don’t drink coffee anything but on a rare day I need something! I can’t be all rainbows, hearts, unicorn sweetness everyday! Sometimes I need an espresso to get that going! LOL!) to which she replied, “No, it’s not coffee it smells sweet and marshmallow-y!” I had to explain it was my perfume.

The man behind me in the post office that told the lady he was with, “Something smells so sweet and delicious!” Why yes, it’s me (I didn’t really say that ha but I did smile behind my mask)! Not only do I have a sweet personality but I also smell sweet ;-D Winky face.

Naa, seriously, though, whenever I wear Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy it stirs attention up! I decided to wear it today because I was re-organizing some stuff the other day. I know, I know! Why am I re-organizing stuff that doesn’t need to be organized? My clean freak and organizational good nature has sort of went a bit wild with the pandemic. My sister Facedtimed me while I was deep in my pantry the other day and before she even said hi she was like, “OH MY GOD! Are you labeling stuff again? But why!? You know it’s pasta do you really need to stick a label on it!”

Anyway…I decided to hit up my archival beauty closet. That’s where I keep all my beauty from the past pieces. It’s stuff I can’t use anymore because it’s old but I keep it to refer back to it. In reality, I’m a hoarder I think but a well organized one. But anyway I was in there and lo and behold a Jessica Simpson Dessert Kissable Shimmering Body Powder was in there. Honestly, if I dig a little deeper I’m pretty sure I still have the perfumes too. I wrote a post about it on Instagram when I got up early this morning because I needed to share how I was missing the brand. Does anyone remember it? Finding that definitely inspired my need to wear a sweet yummy perfume today!

I think really sweet fragrances aren’t really a thing anymore. Gourmands are much more complex. For example, take my beloved Baccarat Rouge 540, it’s a beautiful gourmand but it’s totally a naughty, misbehaved cotton candy blend! Not straight up sweet but sweet with warmth and spice! Or Flowerbomb and Angel both very filthy, dark, flirty gourmands. No one appreciates just sweet scents anymore. I think it’s my juvenile inner teenager that loves them so much. I love fluffy vanillas or uber sweet candy scents. It feels like no one does those anymore!

I’m just throwing it out there if anyone wants to make some sweet candy scents I’m here for it.

How about you?

Do you miss Jessica Simpson’s Dessert Collection?
