Best Scented Candle for Home

Lifestyle
I have tested candles from many different places and at various price points. That being said, I have determined the best scented candle for home. Don’t get me wrong, I am currently curating a list of essential candles, however this one is by far my favorite. I stumbled across this candle a few years ago at a gift shop in San Diego called Pigment. Pigment has a selection of products from local artists along with plants, furniture, and more....

My New Swarovski Accessories

Fashion
I recently picked up two new Swarovski jewelry pieces for my collection. My new Swarovski accessories consist of one ring and a pair of earrings. I was fortunately able to purchase them during an unexpected online sale on their website. The first piece was one I had been eyeing for a while and found scrolling through Instagram. However, every time I went to purchase it, it was sold out in my size. I am talking about the Vittore Wide...

The Best Setting Spray for Makeup

Beauty
The best setting spray for makeup I have tried is the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. I used about half the bottle before deciding this was the best setting spray I have tried. This product is advertised as oil-free, lightweight, and hydrating. You can use it to prime and set your makeup for up to 16 hours. Between these two uses I really like it for priming. After moisturizing, I use this spray all over my face and...

Something all of these fragrances have in common is a floral scent. Since then, I have moved on to other scents that lean more oriental.

18" Cultured Freshwater Pearl Strand Necklace (7-8mm) in Sterling Silver

This is a Must-Have Pearl Necklace

Fashion
For the longest time, I was looking for a must-have pearl necklace. I wanted an elegant piece that I could dress up or down. Furthermore, I wanted to ensure I got real pearls. After much deliberation, I choose to purchase the more inexpensive cultured freshwater pearls rather than saltwater pearls. I came to this decision because I wanted to see how much I’d use the necklace once I got it. Then after looking around for a while, I found...

Vagabond Judy Sneakers: What You Need to Know

Fashion
I took the chance and ordered a pair of Vagabond Judy Sneakers. This is a monochrome leather sneaker lifted by a chunky platform rubber sole available in several neutral colors: white, plaster (I got this one), butter, black, and light grey. Plaster was and still is sold out in my size on the Nordstrom website, so I ordered from the company’s site instead. Nordstrom has a smaller color selection, but carries many of the desirable options and is how...
