5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

1. A lacrosse sphere for back massage

This has been the very best as well as worst thing to ever occur to me.

Because I bring most of my tension in my upper back, as well as I spend most of my day sitting at my desk, my trapezoids are about as versatile as a big block of cheese. WERE, I mean. भूत काल। My upper back’s been all loose-y goose-y ever since I started massaging it with this $3 lacrosse sphere I discovered at sports Basement.

Every night I provide myself a poor-woman’s deep-tissue massage by rolling it under my upper back (there’s a lot of tutorials on YouTube), as well as even though I’m on the verge of misery while I’m doing it, when I’m done I no longer feel the crunchiness in the knots beneath my shoulder blades.

I watched this originally since I wished to see this dude’s dog, LOL! It’s super helpful.

FYI: It is a truly intense massage. If you don’t believe you’ll be able handle it, begin with a tennis ball, as well as work your method as much as a lacrosse sphere (which is harder).

2. Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter

If you’ve previously fallen under the magic spell of Nutella like I have, you’ll totally get this. I’m always looking for different spreads to spruce up toast in the morning since lady cannot exist on peanut butter alone.

This is *the* spread that will make you say, “What’s Nutella?”

Trader Joe’s dreamed up this creamy, silky butter, which is made from…cookies, as well as it tastes like whipped honey graham crackers as well as gingerbread. Basically, heaven in a jar. It’s similarly tasty on top of toast or as a dip for pretzels or carrot sticks. extremely suggested for when you’re in the mood for a decadent treat.

3. MAC Iridescent Powder/Loose in Silver Dusk

Say peace-the-eff-out to all the other silvery pink highlighters available since MAC Silver Dusk. It’s a loose powder that is available in a jar, as well as you can dust it on your deal with as well as eyes (and even your body)… This poor boy truly whips my high pony ’round as well as ’round.

I’m an NC42.
I’m not always a fan of silvery pink loose highlighting powders since 1) they usually clash with my NC42 skin, as well as 2) they look borderline fros-tay, however this essential of MAC artist bridal looks is a go-to for a reason. Somehow, some way, it just works for almost everyone.

Leave it to the wizards at team MAC for making a highlighter that not only appears like a soft beam of angelic light is bathing your face, however is likewise simple to blend, so there’s no danger of those tell-tale highlighting edges along the bridge of your nose or on your upper cheekbones.

Added bonus? It lasts all the time (and all night) long, too.

4. Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap as well as meal Soap autumn Scents

I stumbled onto these Mrs. Meyers restricted edition autumn scents at Target last weekend, as well as I’m behind them 100%. We’re speaking cozy Apple Cider as well as spicy Pumpkin fragrances for meal soaps as well as hand soaps, so while you’re washing as well as rinsing off that skillet of overcooked scrambled eggs, instead of believing about exactly how dried eggs are such a PIA to clean, you’ll be magically transported to a cozy fireplace on the very first crisp day of fall, where you as well as your sweetie pie are snuggling, sipping hot drinks as well as scrubing feet.

5. September tomatoes

There’s something about those end-of-the-season tomatoes on the vine that are additional delicious.

I’m gonna miss being able to go on my deck as well as pick a handful whenever I want. Sigh…

1. Clinique Chubby Stick shadow Tint for Eyes

I’ve been crabby lately.

I’m sure I’m not the only one, however I’m frustrated, as well as I’ve wept on a lot more than one occasion.

I likewise haven’t truly been absolutely jazzed about using tons o’ makeup, especially over the past few days, however I have felt the desire one or two times, as well as this has been the only eyeshadow I can handle.

No mirror required
The Chubby Sticks are semi-sheer creams you can blend with your fingers (or a brush), as well as they’re valuable gems when it pertains to 10-minute makeup. I have them in a number of shades, however I absolutely wear Portly Plum as well as Ample Amber the most.

2. contemporary Love, on Amazon Prime Video

The greatest drawback to this series is that there’s only one season! I believe it’s so ridiculously well-written, authentic as well as poignant. I can’t even explain… It’s one of the best-written shows I’ve ever seen. The stories are based on the contemporary like column from The new York Times. Each self-contained episode thoughtfully explores lots of kinds as well as aspects of love, from what it indicates to love, as well as to be loved.

Each episode is touching, however absolutely not in a corny as well as predictable rom-com sense, as well as the entire season is a work of art! If you’re a wimp like me as well as can’t currently manage shows with fierce story lines, please provide it a watch. extremely recommended.

3. Banza Pasta

Of all the gluten-free pastas I’ve tried (can’t believe I just typed that), the huge majority of which taste like stinky feet, Banza is among the best. It’s made of chickpeas (very high in protein!), however I can’t truly taste any type of background chickpea “flavor.” The texture’s likewise extremely close to standard glutinous pasta. I’ve served it to people without them understanding it was gluten-free, as well as nobody has even observed before.

I like the spirals, shells as well as linguine the very best since they don’t autumn apart, even a little. I’m not a huge fan of the spaghetti, however, since it breaks apart as well quickly after it’s cooked.

Most of the pasta shapes suggest an 8-10 minute cook time, however I normally do 7 minutes, since anything a lot more than that as well as it’s method as well squishy. (I like my pasta al dente.)

4. The reporter who went online on air without any pants

For real, though, he only did what the rest of us are doing. #teamnopants all day, every day.

5. This technique to measuring out components on the scale

I will do anything to prevent washing YET one more DISH, so this bit technique has me shook. state you want to determine out a tablespoon of peanut butter (16g) for a snack. All you do is pop your jar of peanut butter on the scale, hit “tare” to zero it out, as well as then eliminate nevertheless much peanut butter you want to utilize directly from the jar. The scale will show you exactly how much you used. (See the unfavorable indication in front of number 16?)

Mind blown!

This saves me from putting a clean plate or bowl on the scale just to determine out ingredients.
