Within the hunt for a very good pretend champagne, this one takes the cake! Each J + I lovelovelove it…I had 3 flute-fulls on New Yr’s Eve. It’s a extremely delish non-alcoholic glowing wine that actually tastes so just like the actual deal! We’re each delicate to non-alcoholic wine tasting…completely not like wine haha.

Grabbed it out of the laundry hamper to snap a fast pic – ha! There are dragons on the again, as effectively – and a number of colour combos to select from.
I sized as much as a big for a extra outsized match!
I’m not often a sucker for a make-up brush, however this dual-ended brush is absolutely sensible so I’m right here for it. The larger, fluffier-but-dense-enough finish is nice for basis software whereas the smaller aspect is clutch for concealer. Resulting from wash mine, clearly!

And this heathered cream colour is fairly and distinctive (I didn’t have something prefer it in my closet!).

5.) Youthful on Netflix
I don’t know the place I used to be since 2021, however by some means Youthful has completely missed my radar when it first got here out. Which is humorous, as a result of I’m an enormous Sutton Foster fan! Enjoyable truth: I acquired to satisfy Sutton briefly when she was Reno in Something Goes on Broadway! It was my senior 12 months of highschool and I used to be taking part in Reno in our personal college manufacturing, so when our forged went to NYC to see the present I by some means managed to get an image together with her. She’s insanely proficient and I’ve the utmost respect.
That is an simply bingeable, lighthearted sitcom that’s delightfully predictable and predictably irritating as any good 7-season run present goes. However I’m someplace in season 4 at current, so there’s positively room for the plot to go awry…have you ever seen the sequence but?

J + I are on a significant kombucha kick. They’d the mango passionfruit taste in a 12-pack at Costco this month, which acquired us hooked. They’re delish as a result of they don’t style vinegary like some kombuchas do! Actually lives as much as the “absurdly tasty” label. 😉
I spent far more {dollars} to get the variability pack of flavors on Amazon and so they’re attributable to arrive on our doorstep any day now…
8.) Naturium phyto-glow lip balm
I noticed this lip balm beneficial on TikTok and picked it up on a Goal run…then promptly ordered 2 extra on-line.
