new shades of Sally Hansen color therapy polish from the left! — falling Deep, Bronze Reflection, dusty Plum, Pink and Harmony, Cashmere Calm ($7.99 each)
1. These stunning nude Sally Hansen color therapy nail colors

I can’t decide what to wear for the next installment of Desperately seeking Persistent Polish! too lots of choices… I’m leaning toward dark burgundy falling Deep, considering that I wore a pastel cream last week. What do you think?

2. MAC Cosmo Lipstick

Busted this out for the first time in months and remembered why I love it so much. This neutral pink with a hint of brown is a charming everyday lip color, and it looks amazeballs with brown and taupe eyeshadows!

3. Kim’s Convenience

I found the best show on Netflix! In every single episode, there’s at least one moment where I have to hit pause and yell to nobody in particular that “SERIOUSLY, THIS show IS generally MY LIFE.”

I’m not Korean, and my parents never owned a grocery store (they’re both retired accountants)…and I’ve never lived in Toronto (Bay area strong!), but the family stuff rings so true growing up Asian with immigrant parents — especially the miscommunication and how the family members express their love for each other. I’ve laughed and cried my way through both of the seasons on Netflix. It’s the most authentic show I’ve ever seen about growing up in an Asian immigrant family, but it’s also just good. very witty, funny writing IMO.

4. Iowa girl Eats

Found out about this terrific gluten-free cooking blog thanks to a recommendation from a reader (hi, Kate!). I like it because the recipes are yummy (priority #1, of course), easy to follow, and the ingredients are things you can find at a lot of any ol’ grocery store.

BBQ Sausage, Beans and greens —-> this was a substantial hit in our household.

My fam-bam loved the BBQ Sausage, Beans and greens and Taco Chili (I wish I took a photo of the Taco Chili, but we inhaled it too fast).

Nobody was crazy about the Coconut chicken Curry, though… It tasted kinda bland, but if I try it again I’m gonna double the amount of curry spice.

5. Tom Ford Vanille Fatale Eau de Parfum

Otherwise known as “Eau de Schmexy Librarian,” otherwise known as “My new fall Scent Obsession.”

Think vanilla pods, old books, leather club chairs, seduction, and the lingering scent of sweet tobacco.

Va-va-voom!

1. My So Called Life on Hulu

Oh, Angela Chase as well as all her teen drama!

I utilized to like this show back in the day, as well as what’s fascinating to me now, enjoying it as a full-blown adult, is the parents… DANG. They look *really* young! I keep in mind enjoying this show as a teen/young adult as well as the parents looking, like, you know, routine parents — the people who would send you to your space as well as ground you if you got as well sassy.

And oh, the ’90s fashion. All the high-waisted denim as well as the floral dresses! It makes me desire I would’ve saved a lot more of my ’90s wardrobe.

I like to picture where Angela, Rickie as well as Rayanne ended up in life… maybe they Zoomed together during quarantine? LOL!

2. Chanel Ultra Le Teint Ultrawear All-Day comfort perfect surface Foundation

Well, this foundation from Chanel is just lovely! It’s a full-coverage, soft matte foundation that feels comfy as well as lasts all day. I like exactly how natural it looks on my skin, exactly how it doesn’t feel heavy as well as exactly how quickly it blends. It’s likewise offered in 30 shades.

3. The soundtrack to Kipo as well as the Age of the Wonderbeasts

So, I’ve really never enjoyed a full episode of this animated show, only bits as well as pieces since it’s always on at our house. El hub as well as Connor are consumed with it! The parts I’ve seen are humorous as well as extremely clever, so ultimately I’ll enjoy it, however for now I’m all about the music. The soundtrack is truly good. Catchy as well as absolutely dance-able, as well as full of tunes I desire were on the radio, however for unknown reasons are not.

4. universal thread Sleeveless knit Dress

I just got this $20 gown from Target in black, as well as I’m ecstatic to wear it to the pool as well as the beach when the weather condition gets warmer. very first of all, 20 bucks! Second, it’s 100% cotton, as well as the cotton feels good, too. It’s soft, fairly thick, as well as it skims the body nicely.

5. The front tuck as well as the half tuck

While we’re on the subject of clothes, I’ve been using my button-up (button-down?) tee shirts such as this lately, as well as all I have to state is why didn’t I find this sooner?

I feel like I absolutely look taller as well as leaner when I wear my tee shirts this way. let the front tuck as well as half tuck modification your life, babe!
