Sephora Sale starts 4/4, that’s a good time to really stock up if you can. I bought a ton of stuff like year that I’m making my way through so I won’t be buying a lot. More so duplicates of things I did run out of through the year.

I want to say I purchased these in last spring’s Sephora sale. Had some other products so just got to using them. I love, this is Chilly. Application was smooth, did a couple dabs on each cheek ….liquid cheek flush 💯

Just wanted to share this makeup brush from Danessa Myricks. I got this during the last Sephora sale. It’s such a versatile brush and does what it says. Add it to your collection. I’m gonna buy a backup

Ohh to have Donk released officially 😔

What gifts are the girls thinking about Valentine Day?!

I’m here to report I ended up loving more of the selections in the Maison Francis Kurkdjian discovery set. If you or your love has been considering a purchase they have a him and her discovery set. Worth it

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

Trump to Hold Rally on Eve of Inauguration: Live Updates

Check this article, see how all the high profile folks are at closed parties so those more public ones def are a bunch of young and middle aged folks not rich/connected enough for the other invites www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Most sponsored events inauguration weekend are going to have a guest list. I said who was likely there, it’s surely not people who just flew in town. There are tons of republican staffer’s from campaigns, to congressional etc.

Likely Trump people. That was a sponsored party, likely full of donors and republicans staffers, lobbyists etc

I can’t believe people head to work in the night and head home in the night. Barely any sun

Yes, I have for awhile even when switching jobs. The only thing that changed is that I had to use my own time versus these organizations covering that cost.
I miss my latter job benefits where I earned comp time, I usually take all of December off

Cost Of Racism: U.S. Economy Lost $16 Trillion Because Of Discrimination, Bank Says Citigroup estimates the economy would see a $5 trillion boost over the next five years if the U.S. were to tackle key areas of discrimination against African Americans.

16 trillion was quoted in 2020 over the last two decades. I know the number is even more staggering given the pandemic because conditions have gotten worse

Like they created the conditions in which people don’t want children now you are crying about it. They could pay people a livable wage, stop with their oppressive actions and they would still be wealthy but they can’t see through their own racism. I wander how much money the US has lost cause of it

It’s frustrating that people and their hate ruled how they voted Election Day. Trump and his weirdo followers act like they are in office, thirsty to be given power they never have. The cornballs of the 1% or 1% wannabes.

Yall I have to come back and eat my words a bit. I’ve been packing this on my recent trips. The bottles to the far right the last 2-4 are everything. The Qud is orgasmic, one of my friends friends loved it so much I ended up giving her the rest so she could test them for herself. I would def buy

Catching up on some of my faves blogs and I’m like Oh that’s cute they are at X brands event. Love that but I would never purchase their products again.

Plus size clothing has taken a nasty turn and that’s unfortunate.

These Black Friday/cyber Monday orders been coming in. Tory Burch had a bomb sale and decided to stock up for summer. I appreciate brands that have lots of shoe sizing options.

He’s done this week or next may his evil ass continue to trip

I know Bernice was sick of Willie. It’s always that one or a few family members trying to sell off an heirloom

Rest day, back at it tomorrow and I may take my dog out for a stroll. It’s not too cold out

People really don’t look like what they have been through. This year has been a doozy for many

I need some incognito head phones, I have my Bose ones but need a small pair

That zesty sauce be fire at BK.

I love hosiery, in the fall and winter you can rock so many looks without having your tail hangin out

I keep having an issue with the makeup separating on my forehead. I wish I knew how to explain it but I’ll use the FENTY foundation and maybe a cream stick. Everything looks fine but when I sweat it starts to move sometimes maybe I need to use my sponge
