5 things i’m loving lately

July 17, 2020

Finding happiness in life’s simple pleasures is something I believe that everyone should do.

Iced Coffee
There’s a new coffeehouse in town! Muggin Coffee House opened in Whitehaven last week, and I loved their brown sugar + cinnamon iced latte. I grew up in Whitehaven, and it’s Black-owned, so I love being able to support a new business in my hood.

Antiquing
I took my niece to Sheffield Antiques Mall in Collierville and boy did we have a great time! There are vendors with booths set up with everything from furniture to jewelry to records, and we couldn’t even walk the whole place because it’s so big (it’s the largest antique mall in the Mid-South, so it’s an easy 3-5 hour visit). I found a record for a friend and some jewelry for me and my niece. We have plans to go back soon!

Bold lipsticks
About 60% of my lip products are by NYX, so if I wanted to wear a new color everyday for at least 2 months I could. I love liquid lipsticks and matte lipsticks and I broke out their Shocking Pink Matte Lipstick this week and I received so many compliments! I like their products because they don’t dry your lips out, and they’re a fun way to experiment with color when you want to try something new with your beauty look.

Wellness Musings
I love when bloggers are able to create their own products, and Vic Styles, a blogger I follow on IG, released her own zine called Butterfly Musings. Vic’s whole style and approach to health and wellness is a vibe, so I was happy to add her zine to my collection.

Cheerios Oat Crunch
I am one of those weirdos that actually LIKES healthy cereal, so when I say my girl @cookayemonster post about Cheerios Oat Crunch, Oats ‘N Honey cereal on IG I knew I had to try them (I’m a Special K girl myself). These are yummy, and I even tried them with almond milk (which I’m finding that I don’t actually hate since I tried this brand).
