A Week In Review

I don't know about you, but my thanksgiving was a success. Football, food, cupcakes- talk about a good time! The only not-so-fun part was the food coma but that's to be expected.

Anyway, it's Friday (cue the Rebecca Black song) which means it's time for another weekly recap. This week was better than last week, so we're ending this week on a positive note! Let's talk about some of my favorite things from this past week, shall we?

Hair:
I've been loving the Miss Jessie's Quick Curls Creme that I got in my birchbox a while back. After shoving this product in my sample drawer for months, I decided to break it out and have been thrilled with the results. I have naturally wavy hair and it defines my waves and adds texture without making it look frizzy or greasy. Mind you, this isn't a volumizing product, but it adds texture and dimension to my hair, making it an A+ in my book!

Lippies:
My two lip loves for the week are two of my holy grail lippies. I've had both of these before (well, technically my mum had one but I was always using it..) and when they were gone I missed them terribly. They're the Lush Ultrabalm  and Mint Julips. I've briefly talked about them in this video, so I won't go too much into detail here. Mint Julips is a sugar based lip scrub that really gets everything yucky off of your lips. My lipstick goes on so much smoother after using this and, when I didn't have it, I found myself constantly missing it.  Ultrabalm is amazing for moisturizing lips, elbows, cuticles, knees, everything. I personally smack it on my lips as often as possible, and it leaves my lippies feeling nice and hydrated.

Candle:
I have a lot of candles, as you can see from this post, and this past week I've had to say goodbye to my favorite of the bunch, my Eucalyptus Mint candle. It was my favorite for two reasons: it burned beautifully and smelled to die for. It filled my room with a very clean, fresh scent that I'll definitely be missing. Luckily it's a permanent candle so I'll be picking some more up the next time Bath and Body Works has their 2/$20.

That's all for this week! I hope you all had an amazing week and have an amazing weekend!

Until next time,
Ashley
