I love stuff. I always have and always will. I love little knick knacks, lip balms, jewelry, throw pillows, coffee table books… I am a maximalist at heart, despite the tears my credit cards cry.
On any given day, my favorite items change and my obsessive personality will find a new fixation at least once a week, if not more, so let’s dive head first into what I’ve been thinking about nonstop this week.
Fortum & Mason Tea
How cliche is it to say that I’ve been craving tea since coming home from London? We had afternoon tea at Fortum & Mason, and had the Wedding Breakfast tea which was specially created for William and Catherine on their wedding day. It just so happens we were having tea on April 29th (their anniversary) so it felt only right to celebrate. I bought a box of English Breakfast Tea to take home with me and have been making cups all week.
There is something very different about this tea versus anything else I’ve ever drank. It’s richer, smoother, and tastes so much better, which makes sense.
Clinique Salicylic Acid
My skin has been a mess lately and after some digging on TikTok I realized that the bumps and texture I had on my skin were whiteheads or closed comedones. I was trying to figure out how to take care of it because it was actually upsetting me and decided to try my hand at Salicylic Acid. Before I was in London I bought a little bottle of the Clinique Salicylic Acid at work (I work for Estee Lauder who owns Clinique) and wow, has it really been working. I find that with daily use, and a lot of hydration afterwards, my skin looks clearer, fresher and smoother.
Vintage Gucci Diana
I love handbags more than anything in the world, and for years I’ve lusted after the bags that Princess Diana wore. I have a Chanel Diana and I’m dying to buy a Vintage Gucci Diana. The luxury house re-invented the bag a years ago but I’m partial to the vintage design. It’s simple, classic, and a lot cheaper on eBay. I’m, thinking of selling one of my other bags to make room for this one.
