Grove Collaborative Debuts New Skincare Line Called Superbloom

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Grove Collaborative has debuted a new skincare line for Spring 2021 called Superbloom. If you follow me on Instagram you might know I am a clean-a-holic and an organizing freak. Mrs Hinch is the cleaning goddess I pray to on the daily. No but seriously, I find comfort in a clean, well organized house. I like to do laundry, I like to organize the pantry, I like waxing the wood floors wearing bright red lipstick, I like Febreezing stuff, I like home decor, I like long, slow, romantic trips down the aisles of Home Goods when their isn’t a pandemic raging. I like to clean things and I readily admit that.

Grove Collaborative is actually my go to for ALL my cleaning needs. No this isn’t an ad, they don’t even know I exist outside the friendly e-mails they send me after I place an order! Why do I like Grove? First off, they carry every single cleaning thing you’ll ever need (and other stuff too!). Secondly, when the pandemic hit last year they were one of the few places that had hand sanitizer available, and thirdly, the most important thing of all, they have thee best customer service. You know what into Trader Joe’s and you stroll around and TJ employees are all chill with their “Hey! How you doing?” or when you check out at TJs and you’re suddenly talking to the check out person like you’ve been besties for 30+ years! “Oh my god I know right? I’d totally serve the chocolate gnocchi as a Christmas dessert!” And wait, there’s more…! The free gifts! Grove is no stranger to including samples and little gifts in with your orders like Swedish towels, tubes of laundry detergent, etc….!

But it’s the customer service that keeps me coming back! No auto generated e-mails for you! I’ll always get little custom e-mails from them like a thank you for my order or someone following up with me about a product. Grove Collaborative is an experience and a vibe.

This week, they debuted their own privately labeled skincare collection called Superbloom which is a sustainable and clean line of skincare that includes ten products in a price range of $17 to $44. The line includes moisturizers, serums, eye cream, and more!

The Superbloom Skincare Collection contains EWG-verified formulas with no synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates and silicones plus the products are cruelty-free, vegan and Leaping Bunny certified with 85% plastic-free packaging, including recyclable glass bottles and jars, FSC-certified paperboard cartons and no-VOC UV ink.

I haven’t personally tried the products yet but look forward to doing so!

Superbloom is available now!

Do You Live Dangerously and Use Two Mascaras Rather Than One?

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I remember going to the MAC counter at Nordstrom a few years ago and a new MA came over to help me. I typically bond with one MA at a counter and I admit I’ll leave if they aren’t there! It’s rare that I want to talk to someone else as I feel like my personal MA knows me a little better than someone new. As in they know I’m going to buy, as in they know I don’t need an aggressive sales push to get me to buy, and they know I don’t want them touching my face and pushing me to try things on.

But….

I made an exception that day when I headed into Nordstrom and I talked to a new MA and she was nice! The thing I remember most about that day was her lashes. She had super long and luxurious lashes. They obviously weren’t fake and I asked her what she had used on them to get them that long.

She proceeded to tell me…

I Woke Up This Morning and Decided I Needed New Spring 2021 Candles

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I put myself on a candle ban and I’ve pretty good about it! I mean, I totally missed Candle Day this year and I didn’t haul any Holiday 2021 Candles plus I skipped over the Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale completely. At this point I’m sort of developing the shakes and my teeth are starting to rattle in my head as I struggle not to haul Spring 2021 candles.

This ban is not going to last because Homeworx Spring 2021 launched at Ulta.com with free shipping at $35 (if you buy the sale candles which are 2 for $40 you automatically get free shipping). How can I resist? And they have these new smaller 3 Wicks available as well for $15 (14 oz which are still pretty huge!). One of those new smaller guys is the new Tropical Rum Punch! It’s sadly not available yet (it says out of stock but it simply never came into stock yet). It sounds yummy!

There are a few different Spring 2021 picks like Citrus Mojito! Yes, I’ll take one! Coastal Water Lily and Garden Blooms are two others!

Do I need more candles?

Probably not but the 2 for $40 deal is tempting!

What’s your latest candle haul?

I Can’t Talk Right Now I’m Doing Hot Girl Sh1t

Wakey wakey friends!

It’s Thursday we’re nearly through the week! We can do this! We got this! I think we got this. I’m almost positive we do. I’m not really sure entirely but I think we can do it.

Haha…!

Naa! I know you’re hardworking humans and you’re pushing yourself to be the best person you can be today! I’m cheerleading you through the rest of the week!

So, what’s your makeup situation this month? Have you been wearing any? Or are you still walking around the house in a bare face? We totally got comfortable in our own skin last year didn’t we? Skincare became more important than ever before. I’ve always been a skincare junkie and I’ve always taken comfort in my routine but last year it really calmed me and gave me a certain peace. And really isn’t that what we needed? A moment to just breath and revel in the simple things. If you haven’t reached a stage in your life where you’ve found the things that comfort you, make you feel pretty, bring you peace, calm you, and make you feel great now is the time to do that! You need to evoke those feelings in yourself. Don’t depend on others to make you feel comforted, at peace, and beautiful! Make yourself feel that way 🙂

I’ve had my share of bare face days but I actually prefer my makeup days most of all because I look like I’m 12 without makeup.

I think the thing I miss the most is dressing up, wearing pretty clothes, and doing pretty makeup to go out in. You know hot girl and hot guy sh1t! 😀 I don’t put myself in the hot girl category. My eyes dominate my face, my face is full, and this translates as an anime character versus a hot girl but that doesn’t mean I don’t attempt the hot girl makeup. These attempts last year included applying crazy falsies, attempting winged eye liner looks that I fail at (see below! have you ever seen such liner skills like these in your life?), and wearing a lot more highlighter than I should.

Tell me all about your hot girl (or guy) sh1T that’s making you feel beautiful at the moment! I’m here for it.

Have a good Thursday.

Stay healthy out there and be the great humans I know you are!

Sephora Your Algorithm Is Broke

Sephora Beauty Wins is an interesting concept that started happening last month! It’s basically a “secret offer” that Sephora extends to you via e-mail and sometimes on a pop-up on their website. I’ve gotten two so far and both of them we’re rubbish.

Allow me to explain.

Sephora says these offers are based on my past purchases. The most recent offer I got was 20% off hair care.

Wait, what?
