Life has been pretty peaceful lately, and I'm actually enjoying it that way. I've been minding my own business, building those precious friendships that last a lifetime, and cherishing those heartwarming moments with my children. It's unbelievable, but by the age of 32, I've got everything I ever wanted – a loving family, great relationships with everyone around me, a cozy home I can call my own, and a cute little puppy that brings me so much joy. It's the little things in life that mean the most to me and fill my heart with happiness.
When I started this blog 12 years ago, it was all about sharing my interests in beauty, fashion, and food. But now, it's become my sacred place to vent, just like a personal diary. I'm genuinely grateful to each one of you who reads and follows along.
You know, there are times when we might feel small, like we don't really matter. Then, out of the blue, someone sends you a message, and it changes everything. It reminds me that our connections and the impact we make on others do matter, no matter how seemingly small.
So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of my journey, for reading and supporting me. Your presence makes a difference in my life, and I can't thank you enough. Let's keep finding joy in the little things and continue this journey together!
Mother's Day is just around the corner, and if you're like me, you might be scrambling to find the perfect gift for your mom. If you're struggling to come up with something thoughtful, why not consider gifting her a perfume? In my opinion, they're one of the best types of gifts out there – they're easy to find, and they always make the recipient feel special.
As someone who loves perfume and has amassed quite a collection over the years, I'm excited to share some of my favorites with you today. You can find all of these fragrances at Nordstrom, one of my go-to department stores for all things beauty. Plus, some of these perfumes even come with a "gift with purchase" – so you'll get a little something extra for yourself or your mom.
A few weeks ago I met the man behind Makeup by Mario at a beauty event, Mario Dedivanovic himself. Being the makeup and food enthusiast that I am, I introduced myself and initiated a conversation with him about non other than food. He recommended a few Albanian dishes (which I have yet to try) and I told him how excited I was about his current and upcoming products. Through the next few weeks I basically stalked his Instagram account as I knew something big was going to be released soon. & there it was! Makeup by Mario's new Ultra Suede Lipstick Collection! The excitement was felt all over the beauty community. A 20 color range collection of matte lipsticks that are comfortable, soft and suede feel. It's long-lasting, water resistant and blurs the lips for a soft-focus finish. Now, if that's not a perfect matte lipstick description, I don't know what is. Along with the 20 shade lipstick collection, Mario also released an edible lip scrub thats ideal for prepping the lips before applying color.
One of my favorite things about the packaging is the simple and sleek design. The magnetic lid won't open when thrown in your bag and did I mention each shade is named after his employees + teammates.

for the record.. "This is thee most comfortable matte lipstick I've ever worn"
The description said something like this:
A next-generation retinol oil that boosts the look and feel of skin plumpness, while improving the appearance of wrinkles, redness, and pores for visibly younger-looking skin.
Luna works throughout the night to deliver visibly youthful, luminous, even-toned skin in the morning. Trans-retinoic acid ester complex reduces the appearance of pores and wrinkles, while visibly improving the signs of premature aging: fine lines, uneven texture, age spots, dryness, and dullness. Balanced with blue tansy and German chamomile essential oils, both rich in soothing, blue azulene, visible redness and the signs of sensitivity are neutralized, for a calm, even-toned complexion.
Sounds promising right?
After trying it out for one whole week (granted that isn't long enough time to truly notice a dramatic different) I noticed my skin looking and feeling smoother which was one of my concerns. Today begins week two and I'm eager to see the difference I notice this week. Will keep you posted.
There are two sizes available, a .5 fl oz ($55) and a 1.18 fl oz ($105) .
