On My Beauty Wishlist: Verdoie La Creme Hydratante

Image
 Good Morning fellow beauty lovers on this Thursday/Friday eve. I hope that all of you doing well and enjoying your week and the weekend that awaits you.  I have a love/hate relationship with ads on Instagram, it seems that everytime that I'm on there I get sucked into these ads whether it's a fashion or beauty brand it never fails. While I was on Instagram one day, I saw the beauty brand Verdoire and their product La Creme Hydratante so I decided to check them out for myself and I love the hertiage of this brand.  Verdoie's story began in the 1860s, when Pierre-Louis, a cultivator, began growing mushrooms in France. Generations later, his great-great-granddaughter, inspired by years of experience working in perfumery, uncovered the remarkable healing properties of mushrooms and began exploring their potential in skincare and supplements. The founder, Sonia was driven by her own struggles with chronic skin irritation, redness, and dryness took an award-winning skincare fo...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Lela Sophia Jewelry

Image
  Hello once more, fashion enthusiasts. I hope you're all doing well this Tuesday and enjoyed a wonderful weekend.  It's been a while since I discussed a jewelry brand, but I think you'll really appreciate the one I'm about to share. While browsing YouTube, I came across Lela Sophia discussing her recent handbag purchase from The Row. During her video, she mentioned that she owns a jewelry brand with the same name. I decided to check out her website, and I was captivated by several of her unique designs.  LĂ©la Sophia is a line of fine jewelry inspired by ancient Amazigh patterns, traditional filigree, and the natural landscape of Morocco, all elements of the designer's North African heritage. Founded and designed by LĂ©la Sophia, the eponymous brand is a proud, independent, Arab woman owned and operated company.  The amulets, cartouche rings, and diamond-shaped medallions evoke ancient symbolism and protective motifs; thanks to the custom hand-carved nature, no two p...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Sarah Creal Speak For Yourself Hydrating Lipstick

Image
  Hello, and Happy Thursday/Friday Eve to all my fellow beauty enthusiasts! I'm really thankful to be here with you once more. We've reached the weekend, so let's celebrate!   Sarah Creal is an influential brand builder, product innovator, and CEO. Chances are, you’re already familiar with her work: In her 30-year career, she has been a force behind some of the most iconic cosmetics brands in the world Prada Beauty, Tom Ford Beauty, Aerin, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and Victoria Beckham Beauty, to name a few.  Sarah grew up in the beauty industry. The trouble is, the beauty industry hasn’t exactly kept up with her. Over the years, she has witnessed great advances in ingredients and technology. Yet, most of the products out there are still being developed for women in their 20s and 30s, whose young skin, young eyes, young lashes, and young lips simply do not require the performance that more advanced features do. Her own go-to products stopped working: concealer was too d...

On My Spring Fashion Wishlist: Ferragamo Eva Mules

Image
 Good Morning, fellow fashion lovers. I hope all of you are doing well and had a great weekend. Let's all work hard so that we can all relax for the upcoming weekend.  Spring has arrived, and to me, the Mule embodies the essence of the season. While browsing the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, I discovered the Ferragamo Eva Mules and immediately fell for their unique shape and sculpted heel. Inspired by iconic designs, the Eva Mule introduces new harmonies, drawing from a classic style dating back to 1939. It features a leather lapel and an elegantly tapered tip. The silhouette of the stiletto heel pays homage to the beloved F wedge, crafted by the legendary Salvatore Ferragamo. This Mule is priced at $1,450.  https://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/ferragamo-eva-pointed-toe-mules-item-27773786.aspx?lang=en-US&fsb=1&size=35&storeid=14521&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_keywordid=&utm_shoppingproductid=27773786-35&pid=google_search&...

Spring Trend That I'm Loving: Embellished Skirts

Image
 Hello fashion friends, I'm so glad that I could be with all of you this Monday. I hope that all of you are doing well, had a great weekend, and are ready to tackle this week with a positive mindset.  Spring fashion is here, and I'm ready for it. I'm looking at all of my fashion magazines, and in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, I saw that embellished skirts were a big thing on the runways for Spring/Summer 2025. This trend is always in fashion for me because why not wear a sparkly skirt to your children's PTA meeting or go to get your box of Coke zero sugar. I've learned that at the age of 35 fashion is a feeling of making yourself feel good, and if someone is making fun of what you're wearing, it's not a dig at you, it's their own insecurities coming out.   The Spring/Summer 2025 runways for Etro, Valentino, Brandon Maxwell, 16 Arlington, and Gucci have everything that a woman would love if you are that girl who's not afraid to be noticed.  ...

I want all of you to work hard so that we can enjoy the upcoming weekend that's ahead.  I know that Spring is coming in a couple days, but I got Fall on my mind.
