Issues I’m Loving Friday
Again in January, I ordered this $4 e.l.f. lip balm, following an inventory I noticed of the 2024 hottest creator favorites from Amazon. (I concur, it’s nice!) This buy lead me on a little bit of an e.l.f. product journey, as I’ve since ordered and beloved two extra merchandise by this reasonably priced magnificence model.
Up first, e.l.f Multistick which apparently might be use on the cheeks, lips and eyes, although I like it as a creamy blush. The colour is superbly pigmented and the Glimmering Guava coloration I ordered offers my cheeks an attractive pinky glow. And ya can not beat the $4.85 value level.
Up subsequent is the e.l.f. Hydration Make-up Melting Cleaning Balm. This one popped up and piqued my curiosity because it appeared like a a lot cheaper various to the ELEMIS Professional Collagen Bare Cleaning Balm I really like a lot. Whereas I nonetheless favor the ELEMIS balm, the e.l.f. model is a fraction of the worth and works very, very effectively. It glides throughout my face and, very similar to the ELEMIS balm, the applying course of feels oddly luxurious and stress-free. (I rub it throughout your face — it principally melts into my pores and skin — after which I exploit a delicate washcloth to clean it off with heat water.) I’m a fan!
Pretzels with a good quantity of protein that really style good? Signal me up! Certainly one of my girlfriends was snacking on Kindling protein pretzels throughout a playdate with our children on the park and gave me a handful to strive. I ordered a giant field of my very own SO FAST. I’ve beloved each single taste within the multi-pack I purchased (particularly the honey mustard) and will certainly be re-ordering. These pretzels are additionally majorly child permitted so I contemplate {that a} win!
(Sneakers: Reebok / Bag: lululemon / Water Bottle: Amazon / Electrolytes: Ultima)
A couple of Instagram DMs asking me concerning the sneakers I used to be sporting in a fitness center pic I posted made me notice I by no means shared my newest favourite energy coaching sneakers on the weblog! I purchased my Reebok Nanos months in the past (again in September) they usually’re my most well-liked shoe to put on on days after I’ll be lifting within the fitness center or doing extra strength-based exercises at Burn Boot Camp. (I really purchased them after I noticed a few the Burn trainers sporting them!) The flatter sole of the shoe makes them perfect for stabilization throughout lunges, squats, deadlifts, and so forth. they usually’re additionally light-weight and really snug. (Word: They’re presently on main sale for $50 lower than I paid! I’ve the white with the rubber gum backside.)
And sure, my love for the bigger 5L dimension of the lululemon competition bag I shared years in the past remains to be going robust. It’s held up so effectively and remains to be a favourite of mine as a fitness center bag/mother life bag/everythinggg bag as a result of it’s good and massive (it could possibly simply maintain one or two of the boys’ water bottles) and has a number of pockets (each inside and exterior) which I admire for simpler group.
Style: Thriller/Suspense / My score: B
I really like an excellent FBI thriller so I used to be trying ahead to diving into Lady, Alone by Blake Pierce after I noticed the Kindle version was free on Amazon. (It nonetheless is free for Kindle readers, as of proper now!) It hooked me instantly the strong tempo of this e-book saved up from starting to finish. I appreciated the primary character and, maybe just a little morbidly, studying just a little bit extra concerning the thoughts of a serial killer, although this e-book was removed from a deep-dive on the topic. I discovered Ella Darkish, the primary character, clever and brave and was excited to be taught there are a LOT extra books that includes Ella because the heroine.
Additionally, a fast little apart: I really like studying concerning the writer behind a e-book as soon as I end studying, however Blake Pierce is considerably of an anomaly. It’s not possible to search out out whether or not the writer is a person or a girl or discover any photographs or actual details about them on-line. A Reddit thread led me to comprehend I’m not the one loopy reader whose curiosity has been piqued by this Blake thriller!
However again to the e-book abstract…
Lady, Alone takes off operating when FBI agent Ella Darkish’s intelligence and pension for information of serial killers and patterns will get her observed by the Behavioral Crimes Unit, the FBI department of her desires. Ella is requested to make her method to a backwater bayou city in Louisiana following the homicide of a center age girl. Ella has skilled and studied for this second however discovering herself in the midst of against the law scene has her shortly realizing there are somethings she merely can not put together for outdoor of actual expertise. Will Ella’s trial run as a rookie assist her show herself as an asset or will her lack of actual expertise trigger her to fumble when confronted with very actual crimes and really actual killers?
