My recent favorites March have focused a lot on makeup and the little things that bring me joy. I have had a few more occasions to get dressed-up, which were the perfect opportunities to put on some eye makeup to change up my look a little and do my nails. A few weekend trips left me longing for a cute makeup bag that I value and want to use for a long time. The Madewell bag caught my eye.
1. Rambler Mug
Every Mom deserves a cup that brings joy and also keeps the coffee warm. The Yeti Ramblers will keep your coffee, tea, or matcha warm for a very long time. Often, I don’t get to drink my warm beverage right away and this has been a great solution. Even better, it does double duty and keeps your drinks cold in the summer! Ever since I got it as a present last year, it has been my go-to cup. If this mug style is not your thing, check out the 20oz Rambler, or the Yeti travel mug.
2. Madewell Makeup Pouch
I love keeping my makeup in a fun pouch, especially for travelling. Having a nice pouch where everything is in one place, makes it quick and convenient to find my daily products. It’s also a great way to have your makeup ready at any time or place if you are not always in the same place when you apply your makeup. While travelling in large groups, having a separate pouch to keep all my makeup has proven very handy.
3. Dazzle Dry Nail Lacquer system
This is one of the two of my favorite cleaner and less toxic nail polishes. Even better, I enjoy the process of a home manicure with this easy system. An added bonus, I know it will hold up well and last a very long time. It works like a gel polish without the need for system and lamp. It dries very quickly and the which makes each step and the whole process relatively quick. The color range is very extensive and has a lot of great options in the full color spectrum. You need the full system for it to work which can be a little pricy. If you are like me and don’t do your nails very often, I recommend the mini kit. It has lasted me a very long time which makes the overall price affordable again.
Some of my favorite colors are: Less is mauve, anticipation, rose princess, soft caress, living la vida yoga (perfect base for French manicure), strawberry macaron, girlish giddy, heartbreaker.
4. Mom’s One Line A Day
Writing a line a day, has been such a fun little ritual at night. It allows me to think of all the fun and heartwarming moments of the day and pick the one thing that I want to share with my daughter in the future. Even if I can’t get to it every night, I try to get to it as soon as I can. Right now, this is a gift for you, and in the future, it will be a great memory book for our children. I highly recommend this book as it has really helped me to have a positive practice right before turning off the light for sleep.
5. Madewell Mama Sweatshirt
Do you love the idea of a Mama shirt, just not the big letters written across your shirt? This Madewell sweatshirt will be perfect for you. Still has that cute Mama vibe, without broadcasting it to the world from miles away. If you fall in this camp, you know what I mean. The color is a gorgeous medium toned pink and the 3/4th sleeved are perfect for the transitional spring/summertime.
6. Ilia Necessary Essentials Eyeshadow Palette
A longtime favorite of mine are several Ilia products. For date nights and other special occasions, adding eyeshadow is such a fun way to change up our daily look. The eyeshadow palette in Cool Nude goes beyond your basic neutrals and includes matte, satin, and metallic finishes. There is a little fallout, but simply tapping off the brush before applying does the trick and I don’t have shadow all over my cheeks. If you’re interested in seeing swatches, see this post here.
