Hello there friend,
Grateful to have you here.
Recently I’ve been focusing on what community means to me. My intention is to start creating a community here. Today it’s a newsletter, but that will probably change and may turn into something else…but for now, this feels right.
Each newsletter will look different depending on what I’m doing, conversations I’m having, and life bits + pieces.
From sharing beauty products I have in my rotation, podcasts I’m getting into and the latest lifestyle or planning apps I’m using to help my day-to-day, here are some things I’ve found helpful recently.
Products I’m Loving.
I’m a professionally trained makeup artist. For many years I worked at Bobbi Brown which is where my passion for beauty both inside and out grew. Bobbi and her brands champion empowerment through education. Natural makeup and enhancing one’s unique features through tutorials and easy-to-use products are part of her ethos.
I’m really passionate about making people feel nurtured and confident. One way of doing this is through makeup and beauty tips.
Cut to - Jones Road, Miracle Balm
This glowy balm is a one-stop-shop for a dewy fresh vibe. I like the bronze colour and use it to give me a natural warm glow. You can apply it after moisturizer or layer it over your tinted moisturizer/foundation. If you get shiny, apply powder only to your T zone so the rest of the face remains looking fresh.
In my ears
For those Elizabeth Day fans, here’s a great ep with Steven Bartlett. My favorite line was “Rather uncertainty than certain misery”.
Didn’t know I needed it until now.
I’m probably late to the game, but if you need help sorting your life/business/notes Notion is the solution. I’m celebrating 10 weeks of using my weekly agenda. You can also find helpful templates from Marie Poulin here.
For those who don’t have measuring cups or are cooking between different metric units, bookmark this conversion calculator. The name is also quite jokes.
Do you have 30 minutes?
Any last-minute dinner guests? This is a super simple vegetarian lentil kofta on orzo with feta recipe I made last week. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
