Friends! Happy Monday!

I hope it’s treating you well. We’ve reached such an awesome donation amount for the month of March and the month isn’t even over yet. I’m completely shadowbanned on Instagram so you might have seen my post but the AD Revenue on Musings is being matched by me this month and donated to UNICEF. And we’re doing so awesome so far! Yay us! Thank you for spending your time on Musings. Time is precious and it isn’t something you can purchase and it’s definitely not something you can ever get back which makes the fact you spend it here from time to time very important to me!

As always, you guys are on my love list for Monday.

I should be halfway done with my day by the time this posts but right now I’m trying to find my calm before the stress of the day catches up with me. I hope your day is treating you with kindness and it’s productive.

Today’s love list includes a little bit beauty, a little bit life, and a whole lot of heart.

First off, this is a love list I know, but National Fragrance Day has been disappointing today. But hey, good news, target.com does have 20% off select fragrances from MIX Bar, Pacifica, and more! I’m loving this deal as some of the MIX Bar Fragrances are really quite lovely! Mind you not as amazing as the hype on social media but still quite lovely! I’m putting this deal on my love list today!

Also, on my love list Rosen Blood Vol 2. I told myself I wouldn’t start reading this until a few volumes are out because I’m always impatient to read the next. My plan was to get a few volumes, stick up on my book shelf, and binge them. But I was hooked on the first and the second came out at the start of the month and I was really doing well watching the dust grow on the volume but today I pulled it out and dove it. Screw it. So, Volume 2 is on my love list at the moment. It feels like a story that’s been done a million times before but I’m still all about it. Girl meets vampires, girl crushes on them and becomes their maid, blood, romance, and chaos for the win! My inner teenager loves a corny Shōjo. Def a must for the paranormal romance manga lovers.

Speaking of National Fragrance Day….!! Homeworx makes my love list today! Stock up on 4 wick scents for $20 or 3 wick for $12.50 each! They have some new awesome scents for Spring too like Strawberry Milkshake. I’m currently on a candle ban. I can’t bring another candle into the house without my beloved kicking me out for hoarding candles. So, as tempting as this is, I’m going to try to refrain! But hopefully you score a deal or two 🙂

What’s on your love list today?

Have a great day!

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‘.

      Haha yeah! We chatted it when I posted a story on IG and you dmed me! So glad you’re loving it!

    • Isabella Muse

      Indeed, they are! Work has been insane lately so haven’t had time for them! 😀

  • Nikki

    You’re a good person! Truly. You got me through the pandemic and continue to do so! Love you!

    • Isabella Muse

      Aw Nikki wow thank you so so much! That means the world to me!

    I refuse to start reading Rosen Blood. Not my type of genre LOL, but then I went and read Under the Oak Tree and am now sucked in even though it’s, again, not my genre. But I want to see how the female lead will grow because she was so pathetic in the beginning that I need to know how she’ll turn out…so now I’m stuck reading this strange romance manhwa and waiting for the translations to slowly come out. Why did I do this to to myself? :/ LOL!

    • Isabella Muse

      ehhhhhhhhhhhh I thought I was over the whole vampire shōjo romance thing but I sort of got suckered in by the cover. I hate myself for it X-) How’s Under the Oak Tree? I read some thoughts on a forum about it! Sounds promising. I’m sadly captivated by the shy, pathetic heroines LOL. You realize we’re losers right? but I love us for it! LOL! By the way, Harlequin has this strange PG-rated josei that I’m absolutely fascinated by. There’s absolutely no hardcore sex, it’s all cute I’m gonna marry prince charming, and here I am gobbling it up like I’m 13. Not adulting for the WIN!

        Oh if that’s the case, I think you’ll enjoy it. The female lead is only weak and pathetic because of her circumstances, but you do see the character growth as the story progresses. What story? LOL! All the male lead tries to do is bed the female lead. Haha! But there is a story that develops slowly, and that’s pretty interesting. The art work is really nice as well–that’s probably what drew me in. I can’t decide if I actually want to read the novel or just stick to the manhwa…

        Sometimes it’s just fun to read these lighthearted and bubbly things. No shame!

        • Isabella Muse

          Sign me up! I can totally go for the lightheart, bubbling no need to think things right now! Sounds exactly like something I’d love! 😀 by the way, tell the kitties their Auntie Muse says hello and give some snuggles for me! 😀

  • Natalie

    Good for you for sticking with your candle ban! I go on candle and wax no-buys a few times a year to finish what I have. It feels much better for me to do that than to feel like I have too much and can not keep up burning all of it.

    • Isabella Muse

      Nat, I broke it. I’m so sad and disappointed. I got some of those cereal candles from Goose Creek yesterday! I’m so mad at myself!
