It’s back to reality for me as I spent the day in the office yesterday and am back again today. Florida was such a welcome January break, but I’m happy to be home and settling into my routine. In fact, I’ll be home for almost a full month without a trip!
So tell me – what should I do in a month at home? What fun off-the-beaten-path stuff should I check out in Chicago? What recipes should I cook up? What books should I read? I’m not going to lie – I’m pretty excited to hunker down for a bit!
Okay, enough chit chat – on to the things I love this week …
In The Moment: Things I Love on January 24, 2019
1. Stroopwafels | 2. Mojo Spa Feelin’ Green Scrub | 3. Vintage Stamps | 4. Laura Mercier Velour Lip Color | 5. Dunole
Stroopwafels
While in Clearwater, my mom, aunt, and I went to Cost Plus World Market and I grabbed a container of stroopwafels. I forgot how much I loved these after having one on a United flight. They’re chewy and caramel-y and delicious. And now I can eat them without having to fly United …
Mojo Spa Feelin’ Green Scrub
I went to Mojo Spa in Wicker Park for the first time a few weeks ago and was blown away by all the awesome products they offered. Way more extensive than just soaps and scrubs. My friend has been swearing by their stuff for years and I grabbed this scrub to try along with a charcoal exfoliator. I haven’t tried the exfoliator yet, but the scrub is great! It smells light and leaves your skin soft. You can buy online, but if you’re local, it’s way more fun to go in!
Vintage Stamps
There was an artisan at the St. Pete Farmer’s market (this one) who sold packs of vintage stamps that equal the right amount to send an envelope. For those of you who love sending snail mail, don’t forget postage prices go up on the 28th. From now on, I’ll be hunting down some gorgeous stamps to send letters with. What a fancy upgrade!
The woman I bought mine from doesn’t have any in her Etsy shop, but if you’re looking for cute ones, I like these, these, and these.
Laura Mercier Velour Lip Color
I’ve had this velour lip color from Laura Mercier for a while, but don’t think I’ve gotten a chance to sing its praises yet. The shade I love is Boudoir and it’s a deep purple-y-pink that is a perfect pop for a night out. I pretty much love all of her lip sticks – I also use the Extreme Matte Lipstick in Bring It.
Dunole
One of my Instagram friends has a company for which she hand stitches gorgeous genuine leather bags. She is currently encouraging women on Instagram to post a picture of an outfit that represents their personal style and share something they love about themselves. I think it’s so fun and uplifting – I’ll be posting one soon! Best part, she’s offering a gift card to her shop for one winner, so check out her feed and give it a go. Worst case, you tell the world one thing you love about yourself!
