I'm really into Ilia balmy tints. They just sent me a huge package of their products, which is probably the "influencer" perk that has all of my friends the most jealous. The "balmy tints" don't dry out your lips like a normal lipstick, they make them feel really nice and soft, but actually last a long time. I'm digging the Lullaby color as an every day, and Faded when I'm feeling kinda moody and like I want to look cool

"This is a portable smoker. Great for throwing in the back of your SUV or Crossover on your way to a tailgate. I love this thing. Set it to 225° and cook anything by slathering anything with yellow mustard and then coating it with a rub made of this recipe. Spray liberally with apple juice once an hour. 1 Cup Coarse Ground Butchers Pepper 1/3 Cup Turbinado Sugar 1/3 Cup Kosher Salt 2 TSP Cayenne Pepper 2 TSP Garlic Salt. Try this with a pork butt, brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, and my favorite— a Turkey breast!"

"I personally find the skincare market incredibly overwhelming. I recently discovered this HALDI website via (Caroline Chambers), and I think it's genius! You take a quiz based on your issues/concerns of your skin and let them know the current products you use. They then vet your existing products to make sure they are working in your favor and recommend supplements for where you might be lacking in your current routine. They'll give you all the recommendations for free, as well as an easy-to-follow morning and night routine. You can then decide what you want to purchase! They are a small company, and you can reach out directly to them with any questions and they will respond promptly!"

"Previously worried about how much money was being spent on daily Starbucks. However, realized that the walk to Starbucks, which included walking the dog and the quality of the coffee was a real source of happiness and didn’t really cost much relative to salary. Therefore, was better to ‘forgive’ / ‘allow’ himself to enjoy the Starbucks each day."
