We need to talk about turning blah into beautiful ✨😎

Hey gorgeous! ☕️

This week, my motivation hit an all-time low. 😅 

But we all have those weeks, right?

Sometimes, it just takes a little me time to get back on track.

I’ll share my go-to hack for getting my groove back, plus some date night outfits I’ve been loving lately, and my favorite beauty hacks for getting ready when you’re not feeling your best.

Let’s dive in and find our flow! 🌟

A little beauty boost…

No makeup for five days straight, which is kinda a long time for me! 😅 

But then, Jeff and I had a couple of back-to-back date nights, and let me tell you, just getting ready made a world of difference.

Suddenly, I was feeling like myself again! 💫

These are all new goodies I just opened and used for this makeup look — and I’m obsessed!

1. Contour Blush Palette — This palette is a total game-changer. It has blush, highlighter and bronzer all-in-one for a natural, glowing look. 😀 
   
   TIP: Use No.15 contour brush for super chiseled cheekbones and the No.16 blush brush for the tops of the cheeks!
   
   

2. Glow Maximizer — This longwear liquid highlighter gives your skin that gorgeous, lit-from-within look. It’s lightweight and perfect for layering or wearing solo for a fresh glow. ✨ 
   
   TIP: Place two dots on the back of your hand and warm it up. Apply with at the #129S cheek brush!
   
   

3. Radiant Foundation — Yes, this foundation is a splurge, but it’s worth every penny. I’ve had it for over a year, and it’s still one of my faves. It makes your skin feel soft, smooth, and radiant without feeling heavy. 💕 
   
   TIP: A little goes a long way—apply a small amount for a natural, flawless finish.
   
   
   4. Lip Comfort Oil — This lip oil is a must-have for plump, hydrated lips. It’s packed with nourishing plant oils that leave your lips soft and glossy without the stickiness. 💋 
   
   TIP: Apply it over your favorite lip color for added shine or wear it alone for a natural, healthy glow.
   
   

4. All Over Concealer + Eraser — This concealer is my secret weapon for covering dark circles and blemishes. It’s lightweight, blends like a dream, and stays put all day. Plus, the built-in applicator makes touch-ups a breeze. ☺️
   
   TIP: Dab it under your eyes and on any blemishes, then blend with your fingers or a sponge for an even, natural finish.

Date night outfit vibes…

I’ve got two date night outfits to share with you from this past week!

Afternoon Tea at Holt Renfrew Cafe

It was a hot-ish day so I went for a comfy jersey tank and a knit skirt (very forgiving!) and I paired it with my LV tote!

I was invited by Guerlain to a beautiful afternoon tea inspired by their Youth Watery Oil! ♥️ 

I’m absolutely in love with this product! You can mix it with your foundation for a radiant glow, and it works wonders both morning and night.

Jeff joined me for this event, and we turned it into a lovely Friday afternoon date. My outfit was perfect for the occasion—classy, comfortable, and effortlessly chic. 🥰 

Whiskey Smoke at Hastings Racecourse

For Jeff’s birthday, I surprised him with tickets to the Whiskey Smoke at Hastings Racecourse Derby.

He’s a whiskey connoisseur 🥃 , and I’m all about the wine 🍷 , so it was the perfect blend of our tastes.

We had such a great time, sipping on some amazing whiskey and wine while enjoying the beautiful evening.

This outfit was just right for the occasion—stylish, comfortable, and perfect for a night of fun! ✨ 

The secret? Just start…

This week? Zero motivation. No energy, no drive. 😅

As a creator, it happens more often than I’d like to admit.

But here’s the thing: just start.

I know it sounds counterproductive, but when I’m down and don’t want to do anything, the best thing I can do is simply begin.

This week, I felt blah about creating content, but I forced myself to get ready, turn on the camera, and start talking.

Before I knew it, I filmed 12 videos in one day! 🤯 

It’s that overwhelming feeling of "I have so much to do" that holds us back. But once you start, the momentum kicks in.

So, if you’re stuck, remember:

Just start. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to begin.

You’ll be surprised at how much you can accomplish once you get going. 🌟
