Happy June and Happy Pride Month! The heat has arrived in New York but it’s on and off and can’t decide if it wants to stay or go. I suspect we’re going to get some really hot days ahead. So, here’s a love list of the warm, hot sizzling days of Summer and the anxiety-inducing moments I’ll experience when watching the Bear Season 3 when it starts at the end of the month. Sincerely, I’ve never watched a TV show that evoked such anxiety in me. I’m not sure what it is but all that “YES, CHEF!” and running around just makes me nervous. P.S. It could also, be because I’m imagining Jeremy Allen White in his tighty whities. Slay me with a rusty butter knife from The Original Beef of Chicagoland. I’m positive the couch wasn’t a paid actor in that CK ad. That couch volunteered for the position to have Jeremy slouch all over it in his tight white CK underwear. That couch was like no pay or compensation needed. I’ll do it FREE! So, Jeremy, it’s June, the Bear returns soon, and you get the top spot on today’s love list.

Moving on from underwear and couches…! It’s also, SPF season. Well, technically SPF should be worn even on a gloomy Winter day but you’ll be out and about more which makes SPF extra important. If you want a sunscreen formula that not only protects but wears well under makeup, doesn’t leave a white cast, and feels like a lightweight moisturizer here are the ones that are on my love list! Here are my top four of the moments that I adore because they are so lightweight and quick to absorb!

Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Relief Sun Organic Sunscreen SPF50
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50 PA++++
Canemake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50+ PA++++
Supergoop! Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50 with Sunflower Extract PA++++

My love list this week includes a slew of new blushes. It truly is the season of the blush this Summer and I’m here for it! At the moment my love list includes Milani Cheek Kiss in Luminoso makes the love list! It’s creamy, it’s dewy, it’s the perfect shade of luminous peach! A must-get for Summer!

Also, can we take a moment to add the Kosas Blush is Life Baked Talc-Free Dimensional + Brightening Blush to the love list today? I got two shades so far and I need more! These are so soft, silky, and beautifully smooth on cheeks! Ugh! Love! If you can’t really afford to take the $29 dive might I recommend snagging Milani Baked Blush in Corallina? Totally gorgeous and just as good!
