🛍️ 07/08/2023 Life Update 🛍️

Hello lovelies! 🌻 How is everyone today? It's still unbearably hot here;; 😖 Seemingly larger amounts of Saharan dust have traveled to the US which is drastically affecting temperatures and the amount of thunderstorms we are experiencing. The air quality in my area is moderate and there's not much daily news coverage about the precautions we should be taking so I highly recommend everyone check out AirNow.gov even if you're not in the affected zones. I was looking forward to the summer but I can't even enjoy the later sunsets because I feel like a gross melted popsicle at the end of the day 😭

I'm still on break and decided to use today to do some shopping and treat myself with the gift cards I was gifted the other day! There's a "new" Target in my area so I took a day trip over there before heading to TJ Maxx on the way home. While it was fun to explore a different side of town and take a different bus route I ended up walking more than I expected and like I mentioned earlier, the heat became insufferable to the point I was getting dizzy even when sitting down in the shade. And I know it's not me being a weenie since my phone shut down due to a safety mechanism because it overheated despite me not actively using it. Luckily I made it safely to where I needed to be 😎 

I stocked up on some of my makeup essentials! I also bought a contour palette from E.L.F after coming across a lovely makeup tutorial the other day. All of my previous attempts at contouring were unsuccessful - I've ended up looking "muddy" so fingers crossed that I can finally get it right! 🤞If anyone has some pointers they'd like to share please don't hesitate to let me know ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶

I feel so blessed that the TJ Maxx nearest to me has so many "care" products to choose from ✨ I've been so busy up until this point that I haven't been upkeeping as much as I'd like so I bought two sets of face and foot masks along with a tub of body exfoliator to get back on track 💅

I also dyed my hair this weekend 🎉 I've been meaning to change it for some time now but I finally made an appointment after someone took a candid photo of me 😵‍💫 While my hair was long and nice - it was so painful to me how boring it was! With my sister's encouragement, I went with copper highlights and got some layers while chopping off four inches of hair  💁‍♀️I'll eventually take a decent selfie when I'm not struggling to keep my cool 💦

That's all for this post 💕 Thanks so much for stopping by and reading today! See you all again soon!! (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡
