I’m kind of late to the Apple AirPods bandwagon, but better late than never, right? I was always against AirPods – they’re too small, I’ll easily lose them! However, I recently started to see how convenient they can be. Especially on walks, during workouts, cleaning, and just listening to music without bothering others – hands-free! My favorite part is I can now walk my dogs while talking to my friend through the AirPods. Now all I need are athletic shorts with pockets to hold my iPhone!
Here’s my fun take on my review of the AirPods Pro, similar in style to my first Rothy’s Loafers review:
I learned that the biggest difference between the AirPods and AirPods Pro is the noise-canceling feature. Since I’m not a tech guru, I definitely recommend you do more research on them before making the splurge!
I was never the best at face washing – it takes up too much time! But I always thought, “Hey, I did it, so we’re good.” Even if it was just a simple wash or a makeup wipe.
I recently started my skincare journey with the goal of getting clearer, smoother skin with improved texture. So, I would say I really started to take better care of my skin at the end/beginning of 2020. Finally, at 30 I realized skincare is important!
A simple skincare regimen was all I thought I needed. I thought, “Why put all that product on my face? Isn’t that too much?” Now, after careful and lengthy research, I realize there’s a reason for each step.
I’m not a fashion guru, but I do feel somewhat fashionable when I’m wearing a nice watch. I know.. Apple Watches are all the rage, but I’ve just never been attracted to one! Screens are in front of our face all the time; the TV, your phone, your computer.. and now smartwatches. It’s nice to have a break and not have to look at another screen just to check the time (if your watch isn’t dead like mine all are).
Apple Watches won’t be a part of my collection anytime soon – it’s just not my style! I enjoy having more than just a band as options to my watch style.
A majority of my collection consists of Michael Kors watches – I’m a big fan. So, I thought this might be a helpful blog post/YouTube video as many of us are going back into work or slowly starting to, which means we’re back to dressing up for work again!

Double cleansing: a term I’ve never heard of until a few weeks ago.
When I looked up what double cleansing meant, I was surprised to learn I was already doing it!
According to an article I read from the TODAY Show, it’s a two-step process where you first wash your face with an oil-based cleanser, then again with a water-based cleanser.
The oil-based cleansing balm will remove any makeup, dirt, and excess oils from deep into your pores!
Sounds great right? But, does it work?
My answer is yes! I’ve definitely noticed a huge difference in both how my skin looks and feels after double-cleansing. I’ve also noticed fewer breakouts around my chin, which is where they tend to appear these days. My face also looks brighter, and just cleaner!
Now, even when I’m tired, I ALWAYS make sure to do my complete cleansing routine!
Here’s a look at the products I use:
I start out with Clinique’s Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. For a while, I was ONLY using this to remove my makeup and cleanse my face.. I definitely had makeup leftover on my face, but didn’t do anything about it.
A few months into this year, I started to use Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Cleanserafter the cleansing balm. I was amazed at how good my skin felt afterward.
This would complete the double-cleansing process, but I recently started to add in a sample of Lancôme’s Creme Mousse Confort face wash. I didn’t think I would care for it much, but I LOVE it! I think I even get the full-size product once I’m out of my sample!
In a way, it seems like I may be TRIPLE washing my face, but I kind of count the cleansing balm and water-based cleanser as one step, with the Lancôme cleanser being my second. It works for me and my face doesn’t feel irritated.
In the end, double-cleansing will forever be a part of my skincare system. It’s been great for my skin! Let me know which facial cleansers are your favorite!

I’ve been seeing these egg/teardrop hanging chairs more and more in the past few months (pre-COVID-19), and I’ve always thought they were so cute and such a fun idea.
I decided to just go for it and purchase one for myself!
I took the time to search for one I really liked and wasn’t too expensive. I had found cheaper versions of the egg chair, but that’s all it was – just a chair, not a swing.
Overstock.com actually had a sale going on, and I found one I actually liked! It also came with a stand and pillows, which I thought was convenient because I saw a few listings where you had to buy the chair and stand separately.
I ended up buying the Cayuse Outdoor Wicker Tear Drop Hanging Chair from Overstock. It was originally listed at $417, but I got it for $377 (with the sale and a coupon!).
Unfortunately, it’s out of stock, but here’s the link in case it comes back: https://bit.ly/3gmE7aJ
I’ve always loved having sunglasses to make any outfit pop! It especially helps on days I don’t have time to get ready or.. just don’t feel like it.
Lately, I’ve really been into Quay sunglasses – the oversized ones.
I decided to shoot a video to showcase my sunglasses collection! I typically will cycle through three to four different pairs for a while until I decide to switch up the set!
Check out my video here:
I couldn’t find links for my older pairs, but here are some for the ones that are still online:
Ray-Ban:
Aviator Gradient – Light Blue Gradient (These look really similar to mine, but I’m not 100% sure!): https://bit.ly/2WZ3bN9
Aviator Classic (These say “green” color, but I couldn’t find just black with gold frames): https://bit.ly/3bZnkXC
