Wowwwwieeeee guys...
I hope everybody is staying safe {and somewhat sane} during this crazy time. I know a lot of people have lost their jobs and a lot of people are also stuck at home in toxic situations so if either of those are the case {or you're just bored} and you just want someone to talk to {and vent to}, please don't hesitate to reach out!! I have ALWAYS had a good pair of ears.
NOW -- I know it has been a minute since I have blogged and I wish I could say it was because of how busy I've been; however, with quarantine I have had MORE than enough time to hop on here...
My excuse: I have been trying to read and get outside more during this time rather than prop myself up in front of the TV, my computer, or my phone screen.
Guys, I have literally whipped out coloring books from almost a decade ago {and the pack of colored pencils my mama got me when I entered middle school}, I have tried to go on 2-7 mile walks {or runs} every day, I attempted to learn how to play the piano {but ours is old af and not tuned correctly so that only lasted about two or three days}, I started cutting people's hair {if you see my mama around town tell her how good it looks lol}, among other things. I have tried my best to keep busy and if y'all have any recommendations on other things I should do then you're more than welcome to reach out to me too.
Okieeeeee so now that I've done the whole intro and sh*t, let's get down to business y'all...
I don't know about you guys BUTTTTT I have been trying SOOOO freakin hard to not spend money during this quarantine... Now, has it worked? For the most part, yes BUTTTTT as of last week I decided to do some damage {at the end of this post, I'll link ALL my quarantine purchases for y'all just in case you wanna do some similar damage} and with the Sephora sale going on right now, I'm definitely going to do some more.
LET'S GET TO IT!!
I don't know if y'all remember how I do it around here considering it's been so damn longgggggg since I've posted; but, this is a click to shop post. For those of you who are new here, a click to shop post entails this: you click on the item of interest, the item pops up in a new window {or tab depending on your computer}, and you can can immediately add that item to your shopping cart. The reason why I do these kind of posts is because I make a slight commission {5-20% depending on the retailer} from your purchase so I can continue posting about products that I personally use and love. By clicking to shop from my post, you are also able to toggle back and forth between this post AND your shopping {to make it as easy as possible for y'all}.
So I know I mentioned it already above but THE SEPHORA SALE IS HAPPENING NOW!! That means for any of my fellow Rouge members, you get a whopping 20% off!! Now if you're a guy reading this {I think I know who you are... hi C} you're probably thinking "20% isn't THAT great of a deal to do as much damage as I'm sure you're doing," AND YOU ARE FREAKIN WRONG!! Skincare, hair, and beauty products are so dang expensive and I will stock up and spend as much as I please. Thank you very much.
If you haven't quite made it to Rouge status at Sephora, don't fret... I'm going to keep this post up and VIB members can get 15% off their entire purchases starting April 21st and Insider members can get 10% off starting April 23rd. Don't wait around TOO long though cause the sale doesn't last TOO long and I wouldn't want y'all to miss out.
Now -- To make it even easier for y'all to start out some of your baskets, I went ahead and linked A BUNCH of my favorite products below... If you know me, this is the kinda sh*t I live for!!
Happy shopping and enjoy spending your $1,200 stimulus check. Heck knows mine is going to be spent {and maybe invested} by the end of this damn quarantine.
Okie dokieeeeee...
Now that y'all have made it through all the sale shopping and you're bank account has probably taken a hit, I promised I would link my quarantine purchases below... Again, you can click to shop whatever you want {some of which includes some good finds the Easter Bunny got}, but I swear I have managed to stay decently busy during quarantine. Not going to lie, I gave in and bought more sweats last week after my brother's girlfriend and I got Easter egg dye all over my sweats and stained them {honestly, thank you Kate cause I have been eying new sweats since the beginning of this pandemic} and I'll be sure to do a post dedicated to "Work From Home Style" just for you boss babes who are hustling at home.
Before I close out this blog post, if y'all follow me on insta-g or are subscribed to my YouTube channel you would know that I have been posting TONS of vlogs recently. Yes, I have been recording and editing videos more than blogging because I personally have enjoyed watching some people's "Day in my Life" videos and seeing what others are doing during quarantine {therefore I decided to do the same}. With that being said though, I have a lot more planned and coming up {including a recipe to my spicy garlic edamame that many people have asked me for} so make sure you subscribe!!
Linked below {if you have made it this far} I decided to include three of my most recent videos in case you find yourself bored {like I do every night} and feel like diving DEEP into the black hole of YouTube.
HAPPY SHOPPING AND HAPPY WATCHING Y'ALL!! Stay safe and welcome {or welcome back} to my blog!!
xoxo V
