In The Moment: Things I Love on October 17, 2019

Happy Thursday, friends! It’s technically my Friday too, because I’m taking the day off tomorrow to help my mom and aunt get things set up for my cousin’s baby shower this weekend! We decided on a combo theme of Harry Potter and all things British, so it should be so cute and very fun – watch along on Insta stories where I’m sure I’ll be posting details as the weekend goes along.

In the meantime, here are the things I’m loving this week.

In The Moment: Things I Love on October 17, 2019

1. Maybelline SuperStay Lip Crayon | 2. Obé Fitness | 3. Wooden Bud Vase | 4. Unscented Deodorant | 5. Spanx Velvet Leggings

 

Maybelline SuperStay Lip Crayon

I’ve been more and more into lipstick lately, but realized I can’t keep spending $25 a tube trying to explore colors. I heard good things about this drugstore buy and have been so impressed with it that I now have multiple shades. My favorite go-to is Seek Adventure, but I also love the deep red shade Make It Happen.

Obé Fitness

I heard an interview with the co-founders of this new fitness app on my favorite podcast, The Lady Gang, and was intrigued enough to give it a try. The concept is at-home fitness videos from yoga to strength training to dance choreography that range from 10 minutes to an hour. They have 14 live 30-minute classes a day and a whole host of pre-recorded videos to watch on demand. And the price tag of $27 / month does not suck at all. I’ve been totally digging the dance classes and will be happy to use this in lieu of the gym when I don’t want to leave my house this winter!

Wooden Bud Vase

My awesome AeroGarden has been producing herbs and flowers like mad and I realized I needed to get a bud vase for some of the mini blooms. I was unimpressed with my local florist (sad) but found this gorgeous mini wooden bud vase in the Hearth and Hand collection at Target for under $10.

Unscented Deodorant

Admittedly not your usual addition to Thursday Things I Love, but in the spirit of transparency I thought sharing this life hack could be as valuable to someone else as it has been for me! I’ve been struggling over the years to find a deodorant that actually works for me, and sorry, y’all, I just can’t get on board the natural deo train at all. I’m too stinky for that! After years of gravitating toward lavender or fresh scents, I tried an unscented stick and discovered that by not trying to overpower your own stench with something artificial, it actually helps keep you smelling totally clean!! It only took me 32 years to discover this, but I’ll still call it a win for all my future friends and loved ones.

Spanx Velvet Leggings

I wanted to love the faux leather legging trend. Even got myself a pair to try. Unfortunately, I found that the sizing just didn’t work for my proportions. So, I’m holding out no hope for Spanx’ velvet leggings and that makes me bummed because look. how. gorgeous. they. are. I hope these work for you and that you wear them all winter! (With an appropriately long-enough tunic, that is, because leggings are not pants.)
