Target is like a vortex! It sucks you in and spits you out three hours later and you’re left wondering why your wallet is lighter and your day is nearly over. I miss wasting an hour or two or three at Target. This curbside thing sucks!

I guess the next best thing is shopping Target online! Here are 10 things you might need from Target right now.

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Be Brave Wall Sign $5.99
This little Be Brave sign hangs in my mud room so I can look at it anytime I go outside. Last year was tough on us all! I’m an extrovert that’s never had any sense of anxiety. Nowadays, well, I get a little anxious when I go out! I guess it’s normal to feel that way but it’s also an unusual feeling for me! It’s just a sign but I like to look at it before I leave the house! It gives me a little confidence and push to be brave and get out there. Sometimes we need gentle, little reminders.

Threshold Caramel Latte Scented Wax Melts $1.99
Oh Jesus! Threshold has wax melts! Take all my money! I grabbed up a pack of these online last week and I’m in love. They smell good enough to eat (or drink)! Totally a perfect cozy scent to melt while snuggling on the couch!

Opalhouse Carrot and Pom Garland $12
Do your decorate for Easter? Tomorrow’s Fast Tuesday! How did that happen? Soon we’ll be decorating for Easter. This cute little carrot garland sure would look adorable on my downstairs fireplace!

Garnier Whole Blends Miracle Frizz Tamer 10-in-1 Coconut Leave-In Treatment $6.49
I’ve been using Kristin Ess Frizz Management Cleansing Co-Wash and it’s amazingggggg! It makes my curls so smooth and refined! But I ran out last week and for some reason Target had nada available for pick up so I got some of this Garnier Whole Blends Miracle Frizz Tamer 10-in-1 Coconut Leave-In Treatment and it isn’t Kristen Ess but it sure is nice for taming frizz and hydrating my hair! I mist it in after my shower, comb through, and it does a fairly nice job taming any frizz as my hair dries down!

Winky Lux Wakey Wakey Eye Cream $31
Winky Lux has an entire range of skincare at Target now and of course, the eye cream was the first thing that got me! This hydrating eye cream promises a formula infused with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and caffeine to hydrate, brighten, and depuff eyes!

Winky Lux Neapolitan Lip Balm $18
Speaking of Winky Lux a new Neapolitan Ice Cream inspired tri-colored lip balm that hydrate lips and gives a sheer hint of of pink tint!

As they say no rest for the weary or is it no rest for the wicked? I’m both so I’m good. Hehe!

Wake up friends! Makeup! Time to Monday! It’s President’s Day but truly there is no rest for the weary! I was up at and it early this AM! Jumped on the Peloton and let Jenn Sherman kick my ass for 20 minutes. Actually, I lied there was technically no jumping evolved there was me leaning over struggling to snap myself into the pedals because that sh1t is hard! After over a year of this you’d think I know how to do it by now. I’m waiting for the moment where I tumble over onto the ground while attempting it. I actually hope that happens so I can pull a dramatic “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”

I have to work today because it’s renewal season at work and that translates as busy, busy, busy! Being self-employed means I have to be an adult about day’s off and working on President’s Day is the adult thing to do.

You know how I feel about working from home! Makeup is a must! It was tempting to have a shower and slip into my PJs after my workout but I got dressed and did my makeup! And it looks pretty! I used the Tarte Tartelette Juicy Eyeshadow Palette. Did anyone get their hands on it yet or is everyone waiting for a good sale?

Makeup just makes things feel a bit more normal when they are far from it!

I did a really cutesy look by doing a color wash with the lightest bone shade all over my eyelid and just using the brightest pink on the outer corner of my eye. I’ll post a pic later on IG! I thought it came out sweet.

Are you wearing makeup this fine Monday morning? What’s on your face?

Some beauty I’m loving at the moment:

• Tony Moly Timeless Ferment Snail Eye Cream-This is magical out of my skincare fridge! So cooling and sinks right in! It’s very hydrating!
• Replica Bubble Bath Perfume-I know some of you didn’t love this but I adore it. It’s such a relaxing, spa-like fragrance! Very delicate and pretty!
• Mugler Angel Nova-Oh my gosh this turned out better than I expected! I was thinking it would be dark but it’s actually sweet and fruity! Mugler sent me over a bottle last week and I’m still testing it out but I’ll review soon for you!
• La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP + Body Cream-It’s cold out which makes my dry skin even drier! I’ve been loving La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP which can be used on your body or your face. I actually use a small pea size amount as soon as I get out of the shower on my face when my skin is still wet and it hydrates my face so well! All dryness eased and erased!
• Makeup Revolution Conceal & Hydrate Foundation-I feel like I’ve finally found my HG foundation in this formula as I use it so often. It’s lightweight, creamy, and blends like a dream not to mention it looks so natural and seamless!

Let me know how your Monday is going!

Have a good, productive day!

Do you remember……….DuWop Cosmetics?

I got an e-mail in my inbox just now with a coupon code. They e-mail me from time to time and it just struck me funny how obsessed I used to be with Lip Venom. Remind me again why we liked this so much? I can’t confirm this but I’m pretty sure they use Lip Venom to numb the lip area in preparation for lip fillers! If you didn’t have huge lips after applying Lip Venom you were doing it wrong.

Remember when they released the blood red stained version to promote Twilight!? By the way, why were we obsessed with Twilight again? Or was that only me….?

In a world where the pandemic is taking out brands left and right it’s nice to see DuWop is still standing! I’d like to think it’s because Lip Venom doesn’t have an expiration date and will be around long after we are all gone! The perfect zombie apocalypse lip plumper.

Fill in this beauty blank and tell me which brands you remember that are still around but you thought were long gone!
