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 liked two extra merchandise by this inexpensive magnificence model.
Up first, e.l.f Multistick which apparently may be use on the cheeks, lips and eyes, although I like it as a creamy blush. The colour is fantastically pigmented and the Glimmering Guava coloration I ordered offers my cheeks a gorgeous pinky glow. And ya can not beat the $4.85 worth 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 inexpensive different to the ELEMIS Professional Collagen Bare Cleaning Balm I really like a lot. Whereas I nonetheless want the ELEMIS balm, the e.l.f. model is a fraction of the value and works very, very properly. It glides throughout my face and, very similar to the ELEMIS balm, the appliance course of feels oddly luxurious and stress-free. (I rub it throughout your face — it mainly melts into my pores and skin — after which I take advantage of a delicate washcloth to scrub it off with heat water.) I’m a fan!
Pretzels with an honest quantity of protein that truly 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 liked 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 authorised so I contemplate {that a} win!
(Sneakers: Reebok / Bag: lululemon / Water Bottle: Amazon / Electrolytes: Ultima)
Just a few Instagram DMs asking me concerning the footwear I used to be carrying in a fitness center pic I posted made me notice I by no means shared my newest favourite energy coaching footwear on the weblog! I purchased my Reebok Nanos months in the past (again in September) and so they’re my most well-liked shoe to put on on days once 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 carrying them!) The flatter sole of the shoe makes them excellent for stabilization throughout lunges, squats, deadlifts, and many others. and so they’re additionally light-weight and really comfy. (Be aware: They’re at the moment 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 measurement of the lululemon competition bag I shared years in the past continues to be going robust. It’s held up so properly and continues to be a favourite of mine as a fitness center bag/mother life bag/everythinggg bag as a result of it’s good and large (it could possibly simply maintain one or two of the boys’ water bottles) and has plenty of pockets (each inside and exterior) which I admire for simpler group.
Style: Thriller/Suspense / My score: B
I really like a very good FBI thriller so I used to be wanting ahead to diving into Lady, Alone by Blake Pierce once 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 stable tempo of this e book saved up from starting to finish. I favored the principle character and, maybe somewhat morbidly, studying somewhat 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 principle character, clever and brave and was excited to study 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 images or actual details about them on-line. A Reddit thread led me to understand 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 data of serial killers and patterns will get her seen by the Behavioral Crimes Unit, the FBI department of her goals. Ella is requested to make her solution to a backwater bayou city in Louisiana following the homicide of a center age girl. Ella has educated and studied for this second however discovering herself in the course of against the law scene has her rapidly realizing there are somethings she merely can not put together for out of doors 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?
