Weekend Bathroom Project, Technical Stuff, and Hi!

Hi there!

Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine has been kind of hellish! Work has been busy, life has been busy, plus I’ve had to deal with a few hiccups on Musings of a Muse. Hopefully things are working ok for you but please, please, please if you experience any problems can you give me a heads up? I’d greatly appreciate it…! Slowness, problems loading, anything just yell at me.

How’s your week going? Hopefully great! What’s your weekend looking like?

I’m going to do a little DIY on one of my bathrooms I plan on ripping the lights above the vanity mirrors and replacing them with something brighter. Wish me luck! I also plan on a little relaxing because I’ve been running myself crazy the last month or so. I had this strange inkling to watch Mannequin again so, I arranged a date with my best friend to sit, eat junk food, and re-watch it.

HOLLYWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

I also want to pack my bags as I leave for vacation on Thursday. As for the rest of the weekend, totally unplanned! I’ll see where the road leads me.

How about you?

Tell me what’s new in your makeup life (or your real life).

Can’t wait to hear from you all!

xoxo!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Hey muse don’t work too hard Where are you going on vacation? nothing new in my makeup life but did just buy a load of nail polish I don’t need!

    • Isabella Muse

      Hey Melissa! Proud of you! I need a Summer destash myself! I’m going on a cruise for nine days!

  • LS

    The slab was just poured for our new house!!! Woot woot!

    As for makeup, I’m trying very hard to “shop my stash” and not add to my horde, errr, collection. I’m doing fairly well with that lately! Fairly.

    • Isabella Muse

      YAY! So was mine for my new Summer home. Well, not recently, a month ago! Construction well under way! Congrats on your new home! Ha! I am too! I’m trying hard to shop my stash!

    The site is a bit better now although it still jumps up a little when I scroll down on my phone. It was really bad before. I think the little arrow button (to go back up to the top) didn’t help, and I think it might be something to do with the ads loading as well. The site was fine before those changes.

    • Isabella Muse

      Still happening Claire? Let me know? The scroll arrow and the ads aren’t near/changed. The only thing that changed at the moment is I disabled the little up and down arrow. But ads and that arrow have been around since before the redesign!

    Good luck to you on your project. I just completed a reorganization project of my single eye shadows and pigments by color. So proud of myself. I don’t know if anyone else gets irritated by this, but when I have someone come along when I am organizing and say you will never where all that makeup why do you have it or other condescending comments. I just want to scream NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!
    thanks for listening. Hope your vacation is great I think you are going on a cruise?? We just came back from one where I did zip lining and have the photos to prove it. Enjoy and have an awesome weekend.

    • Isabella Muse

      ha dena wanna come over and organize mine!? ;’-D ha I understand totally! I get a lot of the “OMG Your collection is absurd!” 😀 I am indeed! It’s been two years since my last cruise, cruising has changed so much since I started doing it that I took a break from it. I decided what the heck this year 😀 We shall see if it turns out good! Thanks!!!!!! I hope you had a great weekend!

  • Dee

    Kiko is new in my makeup life. Love the blushes I got and can’t wait for the beauty games kit I ordered yesterday to arrive.

    I’m impressed with your diy project! And have a great vacation! We will miss you!

    • Isabella Muse

      aw thanks Dee! I’ll be back before you can blink! DIY was put on hold as other plans cropped up this weekend 😀 but soooooonnnnnnn! xoxoxo! I’ll miss you more!

    Hi, enjoy your down time. We are enjoying life “on the boat” & loving Long Island towns. Eating pizza & hanging out in Oyster Bay with Billy Joel. Saw him in town! Let me know what celebs you see! I fell out of my small boat into the Sound yesterday & scraped my arm..but I laughed..what else you gonna do? No makeup tips..but check out thrift/consignment shops for jewelry & deals! Good ones everywhere.. thanks for notes..love your lights! Elaine

    • Isabella Muse

      Thanks Elaine! 🙂 Lucky girl! I dunno if I’ll be seeing any celebs but one can hope 😀 I’m happy to hear you’re having fun! I’m pretty jealous! I want to travel around on a boat for several months 😀

    I too leave for vacay this weekend. Going on a 5 day trip to Los Angeles. Not exotic, but my very best friend in the world lives there. I have not seen her in 8 months. We love catching up with lots of shopping, eating and of course Disneyland. I come back 5 pounds heavier and 5k in the whole from shopping.
    Picked a hell of time to go. The heat will be a killer. But, I live in Florida. Maybe I won’t notice it.

    And you, where are you going?
    Wherever this coming trip takes you, be safe and have funnnnnn!

    • Isabella Muse

      Have fun Jennifer! Love LA 😀 Enjoy! LOL! Enjoy it. The shopping in CA is awesome! You’ll be fine, I’m sure! Florida is humid as hell you can take LA ;-D I’m going on a cruise! 🙂 can’t wait! You TOOO! Enjoy!

    I feel your bathroom redecorating stress- I’m in the middle of re-doing mine. I’ve got the new mirror, sink & cabinets in, but I still need to find the right vanity lights, shower curtain and figure out what color I want to repaint the walls. It’s one of those deals where I’m like, oh I’ll know what I want when I see it, but I haven’t found them yet.

    • Isabella Muse

      ha I know this feeling well! I change and rearrange things often so, I’m always left with that feeling of hmmm what color scheme should I do next?!

  • JULIE Fielding

    REALLY loving the darker pink and bolder font on the newsletter – thank you…you are the best, and I wish you a fabulous upcoming vacation!!

    • Isabella Muse

      Thanks Julie! Sorry for the lack of reply via email! I’ve been swamped but as soon as I got your email I headed over and tried to fix up the issues with the newsletter hopefully it’s better reading for you 🙂 xoxoxo!

      • Julie

        Love, LOVE it, and thanks a bunch for making it so much easier to read!!! Enjoy your vacation! xoxo

  • Jennifer

    Omg, I LOVE Mannequin and just had the urge to watch it a few days ago myself! “Come and get me Hollywood!” He is my favorite…

    I would say have fun on the cruise but I’m sure that’s a no-brainer !

    • Isabella Muse

      lol he’s mine too! Totally had this instant urge to watch it this weekend 😀 I even liked the lame-o sequel lol! Aw thanks jennifer!
