5 Little Things That Made Me Smile This Week

 


I’ve been trying to slow down and notice the small things lately. Moments that feel warm, peaceful, or just a little bit joyful. So here are five that made me smile this week:


1. The Smell of Lavender in My Room

I plugged in my lavender scent again and it instantly made my space feel calm. It’s such a small thing, but it changes the whole mood of the room.


2. A Quiet Cup of Coffee in the Morning

I had one of those mornings where everything was still, and I got to enjoy my coffee with creamer without rushing. Just me, my cup, and a little peace.


3. Dill Pickle Popcorn

I picked up a bag again and snacked on it while watching YouTube videos. I don’t know what it is about that flavor, but it always hits the spot. 


4. Hearing a Song I Forgot I Loved

I randomly played some old music this week and stumbled on a song that used to be on repeat. That nostalgic feeling made me smile so much.


5. Letting Myself Rest Without Guilt

I gave myself permission to do nothing. No chores, no tasks, just a little break. Sometimes rest is the best kind of self-care.


If you made it this far, tell me something small that made you smile this week 🫶 Let’s celebrate the little wins.







The Beauty & Lifestyle Tag

 


• What’s your go to morning beverage (coffee, tea, smoothie)?

My go to morning beverage is definitely coffee with creamer. I love how the creamer adds a little sweetness and creaminess, making my coffee feel like a cozy treat to start the day. It’s the perfect pick me up that wakes me up without being too bitter!



• What’s one beauty product you can’t live without?

One beauty product I can’t live without is definitely lip balm. No matter the season, keeping my lips soft and moisturized is a must. Plus, it’s such an easy step that instantly makes me feel put together, even on lazy days.



• What's your current favorite song or playlist?

I’m such a big fan of BlackPink so my current favorite song is “Jump”. This song has such an energetic vibe that always lifts my mood. But then again all BlackPink songs are always mood lifters 





• Lip gloss or lip balm?

I’d definitely say lip balm. Lip balm because it keeps my lips soft, and goes with everything.


• Comfy clothes or dressed up?

LOVE feeling comfy. You show me some PJs or some nice sweat pants and I’m over the moon 😍 So I’ll definitely say comfy clothes!


• What scent reminds you of your comfort zone?

I’d have to say lavender. Lavender makes me feel calm and cozy. Its soothing floral scent instantly relaxes me and brings a peaceful vibe whenever I’m trying to relax.


• Favorite snack?

I recently discovered my new favorite snack. It’s dill pickle popcorn. This one just stood out to me because I was like that’s a weird popcorn flavor. Let me buy it to try it out. Who knew I was going to end up loving it. It’s the perfect mix of tangy and salty.


• Are you more an early bird or a night owl?

I’m a night owl for sure. I love the peace and silence 


• What’s your weirdest beauty habit you secretly enjoy?

Honestly, I don’t have any weird beauty habits. I keep everyone pretty simple


• A color you’ve been drawn to lately?

I’ve been loving the color green. Like a dark leafy green.


• What’s the last thing you bought (beauty or lifestyle)?

I got these cute lip balms. Aren’t they so cute!






• What’s your go-to skin or self-care tip?

Always make time for yourself, no matter how busy life gets. Even if it’s just a few minutes to do nothing, take a nap, or enjoy something that helps you relax it makes a huge difference for your mood.



• What’s on your current beauty wishlist?

I really want to buy Selena Gomez’s new Perfume Rare. I saw a review for it and the way they were describing how it smelt I was like I HAVE to have this.





• Favorite show or book you’re into lately?

I really like watching K-Dramas. I have so many I like I don’t even know which one to label as my favorite 








Mellow Mattress Covered Gel Topper Review





Hey everyone! Welcome back to another product review. Today we are going to be talking about the Mellow Mattress Covered Gel Topper. Special thanks to Influenster & Mellow for sending me this for free in exchange for my honest review. 


Here’s what the Mattress Covered Gel Topper looks like…










Product Review: 

I really enjoyed sleeping on this. I loved the way that this mattress topper molded to my body. Making it the most comfortable sleep I have ever had. I felt as if I was sleeping on a cloud. I also liked how the white part of the mattress topper is able to be removed so you can put it in the wash. Two small things you have to consider when getting this is that since it does come rolled up in a box, you’re going to need space to unroll it and have it sit there for a while and now it fluffs up. Second thing is that when you take off the plastic, it does have a slight smell to it but don’t worry it goes away once the mattress topper fluffs up. Overall if you’re looking for a good night sleep and feel as if you’re sleeping on a cloud. This Mellow Mattress Covered Gel Topper is your number one choice for comfort and a good night sleep








Blue Lizard Sport Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion Review


Hey everyone! Welcome back to another product review. Today we are going to be talking about Blue Lizard Sport Mineral SPF 50 sunscreen lotion. I was sent this sunscreen for free in exchange for my honest review by Blue Lizard & Influenster. 


Here’s what the product looks like:





Product Review:

First off, I love that it's a mineral sunscreen. Knowing that this sunscreen uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is a big plus for me. It feels better on my skin, and I'm not as worried about weird chemicals. Plus, it's SPF 50, so I know I'm getting good protection when I'm out running errands or just walking around town.


I wore it on a day when I was running around doing a bunch of stuff outside and I felt protected from the sun. This sunscreen is also water resistant, which is great. One thing I didn’t like is that It does leave a bit of a white cast if you don't rub it in really well, but honestly, I'll take that over a sunburn any day. Overall, I'm super happy with Blue Lizard Sport Mineral SPF 50. I recommend it :)








Method Coco Twist Curl Defining Co Wash Review



Hey everyone welcome back to another product review. Today we are going to be reviewing Method Coco Twist Curl Defining Co Wash. I was sent this co wash for free in exchange for my honest review by Method and influenster. Here’s what the co wash looks like.




Product Review:

This co wash cleanses your curls without stripping them dry. The Method Coco Twist Curl Defining Co Wash seemed promising. First off, the smell is heavenly – like a tropical vacation in a bottle. Seriously, I could just sniff it all day.


As for the actual washing part, it's ok. I massaged it into my scalp and worked it through my curls, and it felt moisturizing. However, I did notice that it didn't give me that super squeaky-clean feeling, which I guess is the point of a co-wash, but it takes some getting used to.


After rinsing, my curls felt soft and hydrated. They were definitely more defined and less frizzy than usual. I followed up with my regular styling products, and my curls looked bouncy! Overall, I'd say the Method Coco Twist Curl Defining Co Wash is a solid choice if you're looking for a gentle, moisturizing cleanser for your curls. It smells amazing, provides good slip, and leaves your hair feeling soft and defined. Just don't expect a super deep clean!









Sensodyne Clinical White Intensive Clean Toothpaste Review

 



Hey everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today we are going to be talking about the Sensodyne Clinical White Intensive Clean Toothpaste. Special thanks to Influenster & Sensodyne for sending me this for free to try in each for my honest review. 


Here’s that the toothpaste looks like:









Product Review:

So I've been using the Sensodyne Clinical White Intensive Clean Toothpaste for a couple of weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed. The first thing I noticed is how incredibly clean my teeth feel after each brush – it's like that fresh-from-the-dentist feeling, which is a huge win. And the best part? It actually whitens without causing any sensitivity!


Honestly, this stuff is great. If you're looking for a toothpaste that not only cleans thoroughly but also gently whitens and is kind to sensitive teeth, you absolutely have to try this. In a matter of weeks you’re going have a great smile you’re going to love.
