About style – 5 things I’ve been loving lately

Cream Pastel Pink Manis
I’ve recently become obsessed with opaque pastel bridal style manis, especially the pale creamy pastels. They are so refreshing …… Maybe because they remind me of ice cream? An added bonus is when the edges crack – which is inevitable these days since I wash my hands about 6,924 times a day – because unless you look very closely, you can’t really see the scratches.

I’m wearing Duri Forever Beautiful and Connor is wearing shades from the Sally Hansen Jelly Belly collection.
This particular shade was designed by Duri and it is called Forever Beautiful. I am wearing two coats and my favorite Essie Gel Couture coat.

Archer Farms Vanilla Bean Caramel Pudding Lightly Roasted Coffee Powder
I don’t like that the coffee is bitter and tastes like punishment. Badass! Give me a smooth easy drinking cup of coffee any day of the week. I guess I’m just that kind of wimp.

Archer Farm Vanilla Bean Caramel Pudding
In fact, I’m drinking one right now!
Anyway, this vanilla-flavored coffee from Target has very little bite and the vanilla bean and caramel pudding flavors are strong, but not overly so.

I was happy when I was able to find it at …… It always seems to be out of stock lately, but I’ve also seen it available online.

Ooly Pastel Eyeliner
These rainbow crayons are double-ended. They have an angled tip on one side and a fine tip on the other, oh! – I get immense satisfaction when I use these markers to cross off items on my to-do list. It’s not on the chart!

Multi-colored rainbow lists are the best.

Take a deep breath
A few weeks ago, I set a reminder on my phone to go off every few hours to remind me to take a few deep breaths throughout the day, and these breathing intervals have had a huge impact on my overall mental health.

Yes, it felt silly to have to remind myself to breathe at first, but now that it’s happening …… I don’t care! ? When you reach the point where your shoulders are clenched up to your ears and stay there all day, you’ll try anything.

Five or six deep breaths only take a minute or two and I do them every few hours to help my nerves.

Free People Movement Om Crew Neck Vest
I picked up a couple of $15 tank tops on a whim a few weeks ago to go with my stretchy sweatpants and I love them. A lot. They’re light and the fabric is thin, which I like because we’ve started the 90 degree days here and, you know, it’s been hard to actually wear real clothes.

These tank tops feel light as air, and depending on the color, they’re a little “sheer,” so put on a cute sports bra underneath and call it a day.
