Dear friends,

It’s humid AF.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Respectfully,
isabella

My love list today goes out to delicious frozen yogurt, days your hair is so crazy you just don’t care, and fragrances I want, need, and must have! My love list does not go out to humidity and hot days in New York!

Seriously, WTF East Coast. Why you raining down the humidity on our heads so hard? Mother Nature has not accepted our tributes and is pissed again. It’s a really brutal humid week here in New York and I’m working from home today in shorts, a t-shirt, and no bra and let me tell ya when I say no f*cks are given, I mean it! I ran out before to hit up Taco Bell’s drive-thru for a frozen Baja Blast like the frat boy I am and it was delicious. Please and thank you! I got the AC on arctic blast mode over here and boy am I feeling for friends in the Mid-West without power. You have no idea how my heart aches right now for them! To be without AC on a day/night like this is insane 🙁 If you’re one of those folks I’m sending you all the positive vibes in the world that your electric comes on soon! Please stay hydrated and take care of yourself, your family, and your pets.

Today is of course a crazy hair day! My hair does any damn thing it wants everyday but it’s particularly freaky sh1tshow in the humidity. How’s your do faring over there?

Also, I haven’t had Pinkberry in a stone’s age! When did we stop becoming obsessed with it? I can’t remember. Was it Gossip Girl circa 2007 when we last ate Pinkberry? Naa it had to be way after that right? We have a Pinkberry-ish yogurt place near me that I haven’t visited in a bit so my bestie and I hit it up recently and to my horror they were out of taro flavor! I ended up grabbing some chocolate and loading up with the mini PB cups, mini turtles, and strawberries! I wasn’t feeling my normal cereal mix of Captain C and Fruity Pebbles. What do you like on your frozen yogurt?

olivela.com really tries me with that $150 off $500 deal they always have! Right now my eye is on Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte. The rose, orange, sweet peak and musk sounds like something I’d love. Not sure how long I’ll be able to resist!

I’m sort of obsessing over that Truly Unicorn Fruit Eau de Parfum because I’m immature enough to want something with unicorn in the name and also, because it has fruity sweet notes of acai berries, matcha, and rose.

Speaking of sweet my friend texted me the other day and said, “YOU GOTTA SMELL Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum!” and I was all like, “HELLS YES!” For some reason this one is intriguing me and I’m gagging to smell it! Pear, White Gardenia, and Brown Sugar? That sounds pretty funky but cool!

I also need to just haul Replica Autumn Vibes already! I didn’t do it yet because this heat is not giving me Fall vibes but I’m hoping this scent is going to be my signature autumn blend!

And I need to buy the bullet on KAYALI UTOPIA VANILLA COCO because I have a feeling this is going to be a yummy gourmand of coconut and vanilla!

What’s scents are on your wish list this month?

Do share your love list with me for the week!

I love reading them!

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‘.

    The Regime Waves and Falls. The Bastide amber powder that is 20+, in an open container with a puff and still smells great. The Phlur one that smells like Buddha�s hand fruit. Bad on me for forgetting its NYC name. Creed Millesime Imperiale (yes, you did, thanks.)

    The Gucci packaging looks so antique & vintage…can’t wait to smell it. Right now I’m loving the fragrance Valentino Donna. It’s fun, fresh & sweet without being overbearing. Chloe Nomad in both the eau de toilette & eau de Parfum!

    • Isabella Muse

      RIGHT? It reminds me of an old shampoo bottle from the 70s or something! Donna is incredible for the warm weather! The perfect light scent! Nomad is lovely as well! Both excellent picks!

    Yay for Baja Blast! I hope you added a chicken chipotle melt to go with it. 🙂
    The heat and humidity is insane. I’ve been really happy with my Color Wow Dream Coat for helping my curls be curls instead of tumbleweeds, and their One Minute Transformation to calm down my hair when it’s on day 2. I was really surprised how much the Dream Coat helped keep my hair from getting frizzy in an 80+ degree day with a thunderstorm. I let my hair dry naturally after using it because I want curls, otherwise it would be flatter and more frizzy.
    As far as cool treats go, Trader Joe’s mango non-dairy mochi is mine for this week.

      Don’t kill me but I don’t like Taco Bell lol! I’m so sorry! I love the frozen drinks but the good big nope! Bit that chicken melt sounds good….! What’s in it? I’m going to immediately google that color wow stuff! I need it in my life! TJ’s mochi is surprisingly amazing! Do you like the ube? SOOO good!

        The Chipotle Chicken Melt is on their value menu ($1 or so,) and it tastes like a mini quesarita, sans rice. I think it’s just chicken, cheese, and chipotle sauce.
        Just used the Color Wow tonight after coloring my hair- 3 months on and still love it! I also love the One Minute Transformation cream for dry hair- it helps smooth it over without making it greasy. If you go to their direct site, you can order trial sizes of most of their products.
        I haven’t tried the Ube; it wasn’t available when I went, but I’ll check again- thanks!

    OMG, Thank you for that hilarious Star Wars meme – I laughed until I cried! I am in Georgia, so I feel your pain regarding the humidity! Praying for FALL!

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL glad you liked it. That was me walking around the house in very little clothing yesterday with the AC on 69! LOL! Just no f*cks given! It was HOT! Phew! Georgia is brutal in the Summer! I’m wishing away all the heat for you and praying for Fall to rush in!
