Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning to you!

How’s everyone doing out there? All safe and well and potentially bored?

I thought I’d make up a currently obsessed with list today of things I am loving at the moment beauty and otherwise. Feel free to join in with your list!

I purchased some very cute yellow gingham curtains off Amazon a few months ago for my laundry room but never got around to putting them up. I have one window in my laundry room and also a door. I ended up putting up the valance on the door and the valance and the curtains on the window and oh my god they look so cute! I’m obsessed. My laundry room is a bright, cherry buttercup yellow and these go perfect. So, yeah, I am currently obsessed with gingham cafe curtains.

If you know me you know I’m in a love hate relationship with Flowerbomb. I love it but I hate it. It’s really strong and you really have to wear the very smallest amount less you overwhelm yourself and everyone else in the room. I decided to take a chance on the new Flowerbomb Dew and I’m obsessed. I purchased it during the Sephora sale so I snagged it at a deal and oh my god it’s so pretty. It’s very much Flowerbomb but it’s a lot less hard and the cotton candy seem to come out much better in this version. It’s like Flowerbomb had a sweet little cute baby!

If you know anything at all about me you know that I love a good cosplay. You might also know my biggest crush is Adrian Patrick from Otherwise and that I’ve traveled around the US just to see him play. Seriously, Adrian screaming in Maria Brink’s face is the most delicious thing in the history of metalcore. I recently discovered primal_darkness on Tiktok and dude….dude…It’s like a bigger, beefier Adrian Patrick in horror cosplay! This guy’s transitions are oh my gawd. I have a new Tiktok crush to obsess over.

I got my Sephora Sale order last week and ended up hauling the Sephora Rose Brush Set. I’m currently obsessed with this set. In particular, I’m loving the powder brush which I’m using to apply highlighter and blush! It’s such a great tool for heavy handed makeup users! It really works great giving me nice, soft color on my cheeks without overdoing it!

I’m really obsessed with Daphne Byrne. It’s been on my to be read bookshelf for a while and I finally cracked open book 1 on Friday. The series is in its infancy so it is abnormal for me to start so soon. I do like for a series to have a few books in place before I start but this drew me in right away and hey, bonus points for not only being creepy but taking place in New York!

What are some of your latest obsessions?

Beauty or otherwise?

Do share ’em!

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‘.

    I’m currently obsessed with the Viseart Paris Edit Palette. Wasn’t sure if I would like it as it seemed so cool toned but I LOVE it. I don’t mind that it is a little sheerer and needs building at all. So pretty!

    I also am obsessed with Paula’s Choice Power Berry Serum. I may be imaging that it is helping the redness on my cheeks but I think it is.

    Also obsessed with candles even more so than I usually am. I burn one every morning when I get up and have my coffee and then again around 4pm until we turn the lights out.

    Hope you are doing well, Muse, and hope all of your readers are too!

      I got it but haven’t used it yet! Glad to hear it’s lovely 😀 I am too! candles that is! They just make everything so cozy and comforting. I’m always obsessed with them anyway but at the moment even more so!

    This one will sound strange. The chemistry of onions in cookery. Some controversies lately about zinc ionophores got me thinking about quercetin rich foods. Onions are close to the top. Been noticing most cooking does not come out right if onions are left out. I know, an odd obesssion.

    Middle eastern fashion suits my complexion better than western clothing. So I’ve been looking into the different ways to wrap a shemagh around my head. Also been working on aesthetic optimal mask design.

    • Isabella Muse

      Do you just generally like onions or are you hoping to build up an immunity to certain diseases like cancer with the addition of them into your diet? Not a weird obsession! It’s interesting 🙂 right now a shemagh can come in very handy and be fashionable too ;-D

      • MDW

        Hi Muse! Yes, been interested in the artery clearing and immune building properties of the onion varieties. Also there is a trick with cooking onions first that makes the cooking pan remarkably less sticky.

        Also been having fun wearing various scarves and sunglasses. Nose and mouth coverings are getting to be a fashion trend.

        • Isabella Muse

          Interesting! Nature’s cooking spray haha ;-D We’ll be all be in fashion once the economy re-opens plus it hides our bushy brows and roots if you dye your hair ;D

    Kdrama! I just finished Goblin: The great guardian. Coco woods by nest and anything winky lux. I have decided to collect all their palettes except for latte because it’s to warm.

    • Isabella Muse

      Ditto! Kdrama for sure 😀 It’s on sale right now if you need to restock! I haven’t really got deep into Winky Lux for some reason but I know I will sooner or later 😀

    Beauty-wise, I am obsessed with the Dyson Corrale. CRAZY expensive, I know! But I just had to see for myself, so I bought it at the beginning of Sephora’s sale. I LOVE IT! My hair feels like silk now.

    My bigger obsession though is pet related. I haven’t had a pet since I lived at home with my parents. I’m 51 now so it’s about time. 🙂 Muse, you might be particularly interested because we (husband and I, no kids) are getting two female long coat chi puppies! They will be ready at the end of May. I am having fun choosing the various needed items (beds, toys, bowls, etc.). Any advice you have would be most welcome!

    • Isabella Muse

      Dyson and Simple Human make some killer gadgets that are well worth the $$$! You’ll have it for years and years plus the warranty is amazing. Enjoy! 🙂 Oh my gosh yes! did you name them? In all my years of having dogs I never had a female. It was always boys for me. This is my first time having a female and she has such an incredible personality and she’s just so loving! I think you’re going to have a blast with them 🙂 Chis can be hard to potty train! just be patient. Do your best to train them on wee wee pads first because that’s SO helpful during really crappy weather when they want to be brats and not go out in the snow and the rain. Kia took to wee wee pads very quickly. Training spray helps a lot. Just mist it on the pad. Have you named them yet? I need photos 🙂 how old will they be when you get them!? are they related? 😀

      • Amy

        The pups are sisters from the same litter – born on March 11, so they’re about seven weeks old now. They will be just over 11 weeks when I have arranged to get them. A little more potty training under their belts, I hope. We are calling one Ridley and the other Ruby. What’s the best method to share photos?

        • Isabella Muse

          oh my gosh! adorable. email is good musingsofamuse at gmail dot com I can’t wait to see! I’m going to want to nom their little ears! I’m so excited for you! 😀 It’s going to be so much fun finally getting them! I got Kia when she was four weeks ago and she fit into the palm of my hand. I miss that ;D

    well if we are talking about anything, we are currently obsessed with our food dehydrator LOL! we got it for xmas and finally have whipped it out. so far have made dried apples and bananas, jerky, and this week will make kale chips for the first time. super easy to do, tasty and healthful snacks! i’m going to check out this author and band you like, as we have similar tastes!

    • Isabella Muse

      oh my gosh fun! I typically by all my dry goods from TJ! I used to by Just Tomatoes but they are now a new company called Karen’s naturals or something and they aren’t the same 🙁 I haven’t been to TJ in over a month because the shelves are empty. I do so miss all the dried goods 🙁 I’m running very low. Now I want to try out a dehydrator lol! ;D Let me know what you think! I hope you like them!

    Well, my main obsession at the moment is my yard and flower beds. I use the term flower beds loosely, because I’m putting cactus in mainly. Since I’ve moved to Texas my rheumatoid arthritis is much better and I can do more. Spending time in the sunshine has been good for me.

    I’m working from home, so I haven’t been wearing makeup. But my new obsession is the Bliss Rose Gold skincare collection. I bought it all when Ulta had it on sale. I am no longer oily at the end of the day anymore. It’s hard to believe. Love it all.

    Also always obsessed with Pacifica fragrances, especially Sugared Amber Dreams.
