November reminds us to practice optimism. Who has time to talk about what’s going wrong when we’re focused on all that is right? And if the wrong won’t last forever, what’s the point of paying it any mind anyway? November has us look on the bright side, in the midst of a colder season, when the sun steps away all too soon. We can follow our own faith, our own hope, knowing all the work will one day pay off.

Antiblush

Antiblush…or maybe just—normal blush? We’re going in with a lighter hand, a natural color, and applying only to the apple of our cheeks. It’s there, but barely. Instead, we’re showing more love to our bronzers by creating soft, sculpted looks for the colder months, and letting our eyes do all the talking.

Glowy Powders

We don’t need 1000+ products to have a healthy skin barrier. All we need are our tried-and-true products and a consistent morning and night routine. For a majority of us, our skin is about to become the Sahara Desert thanks to winter, and now’s not the time to add any harsh ingredients that will only make it worse.

Shock, humility, sadness…were all things I’d probably feel if it weren’t coming from my therapist. I mean, how could I blame her? I was paying her for her honesty.

For the past two years, I’d been dealing with so much…life. Anything that could go wrong, ran to it, and I stayed still on the other end, standing like an idiot, waiting for something to go right.

I remember feeling out of control, stolen from. Like my life wasn’t mine anymore, and I was just someone playing a part. Call it depression, call it a quarter-life crisis, call it bad luck. Whatever it was, I was letting it win. I was a stranger, so far away from myself, with daily reminders of just how miserable I was.

And so it wasn’t so much a surprise when my therapist told me I was a negative person. It was more so a light-switch. I had not recognized who I’d become in the past two years, but I didn’t think anyone else did either. Yet here I was, being told something about myself that felt so foreign. It’s as if in that moment, a piece of the old me jumped to the front and brought with it the truth, the thing that woke me up.

I was in a toxic relationship with misery.

This is how people see me? It must be. If my therapist (who I only met with once a week) could see it, then surely everyone else could too. I knew I had changed. I had lost my sense of humor, I took everything personally, everything so seriously. Afternoons made me sad; nighttime made me anxious. I had looked at everything that had gone wrong over the past two years, and I realized I had surrendered to it. Misery didn’t just love company; misery was the company. At some point, it had convinced me to let go of everything that made me, me, while it sat down next to me, making me believe that it was what I needed in order to get through what I was going through.

As I sat there on my therapist’s couch, more of the old me started to show. Curious as always, ready to learn. I asked her why she thought that. She was more than happy to answer. “When you have the option to be positive or to be negative, you always seem to choose the negative. You always look at what could go wrong, instead of what could go right.”

I do that? I guess I did.

“But why?” I asked her. “Why would I want to choose that? Why would I want to be that way?” and we talked some more about it. Self-esteem issues, maybe something more deep-rooted that had come up because of recent events. As we sat there, digging, trying to understand, I kept repeating the same thing to myself: “choosing”. Yes, on the outside, I was choosing all these things. I was choosing to isolate myself, choosing to hinder my growth, choosing to see the bad and none of the good, but none of it actually felt like a choice when I was actually doing it. The things that made me sad, the things that made me miserable—it always felt like I had no other option in the moment. I was so burned out from the real things happening around me that I didn’t have the energy to take care of what was happening on the inside.

That’s the thing about misery. It made me believe I was keeping myself safe, all while only doing more damage. If I expected the worst, nothing could catch me by surprise. Misery offered me comfort at the time. A promise that even if things went really wrong, they wouldn’t be worse than I had already imagined them to be. Misery had moved in, and trying to fight it cost more energy than I had at the time, so I just let it be. Soon, I became reliant on it. I can isolate myself because I’m going through things. I can put zero effort into this project because what’s the point anyways? I can stop dreaming because what are the odds of it coming true? Misery, the negativity, it kept me safe from being more hurt than I already was, even if it was the thing that was hurting me the most.

In a toxic relationship, the person you’re with may convince you that you need them. That you’ll have nothing if you don’t have them. That it’s either them or nothing. And when your self-esteem is low, and your vision is blurred, you really do believe it. You really believe there’s no third option. Until one day, when you’re sitting across from your therapist, crying over, actually, a really great thing (now that I look back) that you’re just convinced is going to go terribly wrong because misery has convinced you of that, recent events have convinced you of that, you yourself have convinced you of that, and it’s all so blinding that you never thought to stop and turn around, at the therapist who’s pointing out your pessimism to you, to see that she’s standing next to the door of said third option that had been there all along.

I spent two years making excuses for why the bad was more deserving of my attention than the good. Misery caused such a quiet commotion within me, kept me so distracted from that third door, not because it was protecting me, but because it was protecting itself. It kept saying “look here, look at me”, so I wouldn’t have a chance to turn around and see the truth.

Misery is both equal parts external events, and internal attachment that we create in order to find some sense of comfort and safety. And although I referred to my wake-up call as a light switch, it was more of a slow dim that keeps getting brighter. Each day I’m able to see more and more, slow strides back to who I was, bringing with me all the new things I want to become. The farther I get away from misery, the more energy I regain. Just like a toxic relationship, it drained the life out of me.

For a long time, I thought I’d never be able to find my way back to my old self. I think that’s why I stayed still for so long, because I was scared of getting lost even further. But it’s also because I thought there was no old version of me to get back to. And in a way, there isn’t. I’ll never be what I thought the happiest version of myself was, and I’m kind of glad about that. Even then, misery lurked, keeping me smaller than I thought I was. And I still don’t live without it; it would be insane to say I never have a single negative thought. But the light is on, and I can see my way around. I can see the options I have, instead of making blind choices out of fear. I don’t need misery, so we’ve officially broken up.

The most important relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves; don’t let anyone or anything ever try to convince you otherwise. I've spent so long choosing what felt safe over what felt right, choosing what was familiar over what was good for me. But I'm learning that not everything that offers comfort deserves a place in my life. And if something requires me to keep abandoning myself to hold on to it, then maybe it's time I let it go. So I choose myself. I choose to see the good in the bad, the possibility in my dreams, and the light in me.

Delivered straight to your suite. Consider this your weekly guest itinerary of the pieces, routines, and views currently in heavy rotation around here. Settle in for a brief look at this week’s essentials, curated straight from the property grounds.

This Week’s Delivery:

Dior Forever Skin Bronze Bronzing Balm Stick

When they say balm, they mean balm. As the weather gets cooler and my skin gets paler, I’ve been struggling to make any of my bronzers look natural on me. But this bronzer is so natural that I can keep it very low-key, or build it up to give a true sun-kissed effect. Sometimes I struggle with cream products because they can leave my face feeling very sticky, but this sets and dries down while still looking glowy. It’s barely there, but it’s still there. It’s your skin but better. I use the shade 03 light-medium on my light-medium neutral olive skin tone, and it’s my perfect bronzer shade. I truly could not recommend it more. And with the Sephora sale just around the corner, what better time to put my words to the test?

Rhode Barrier Butter

We all know how much I love Rhode. But I will admit, for a while, I had my doubts when it came to the barrier butter. I much preferred the BRC. And while it’s still a favorite, and typically my morning go-to, I finally understand the hype around the thicker, more intense butter balm. I honestly think I may have had a bad one, or maybe I just let mine sit too long and it expired, but I recently bought a new one, and the formula is just so much easier for me to use, and my skin is so happy with me. This is exactly what I need going into the colder months, and I think it’s perfect for anyone no matter their skin type.

Tory Burch Romy Tote

I’d like to think of myself as a bag connoisseur, well, an aspiring one at least until my bank account tells me otherwise, so I know a good bag. Tory Burch has had me in a chokehold for the past year with all of their stunning new designs. I purchased my Romy tote about a year ago, and have rarely switched to anything else. Now that it’s fall, it really is my go-to everyday bag since I have it in the beautiful dark brown color (my favorite). I love a small bag, but I carry a lot, so totes are my true soulmate. This fits anything and everything I need, and I get complimented on it everywhere I go. It’s a recurring favorite because it makes me so happy every day I put it on.

Walking Pad

I’m back on my walking pad game—you’ve heard it here first. 30 minutes in the morning, after a meeting, before dinner- it’s so easy and so convenient. If you WFH, honestly, even if you don’t, a walking pad is so good to have, especially if you live somewhere that has unwalkable weather during the winter. I try to get outside every day, because that’s still important. But on days it’s raining, or just insanely cold, I know I can still get movement in.

Dancing With The Stars

Ahhhh, you guyssss?! WHY did I wait so long to start watching DWTS? Is this what the new Love Island fans feel like? I started this season out of pure fomo (like I usually do with shows), and immediately was hooked. I’ve binged a few of the past seasons and dug into all the lore of the show. Call it my hyper-fixation of the month, but every Tuesday, I am sat at 8 PM EST. My winners this season are Ezra and Daniella, no doubt about it. They amaze me every single week. If you’re also watching, let’s please start a conversation in the comments. I’m seriously ready to talk about it at all times.

The amenities are officially yours to enjoy. I highly recommend partaking in a few.

If you’re coming from my makeup recommendations, hi. It’s time to highlight my favorite skin, hair, and body care essentials from the past year. It’s important to know my skin type before you take any of my opinions on these products.

I have a pretty normal skin type, that can become a bit drier in the colder months, but no real dry patches or issues. I’m not acne-prone, but my face prefers consistency, so I try not to change anything too often. My biggest problems before building a routine were redness and dullness.

Okay, I think we’re ready—

So let’s talk about them. Which ones I loved, liked, and almost left behind.

Make sure to follow me on Goodreads so we can keep up together all month long (my reviews are also verrry sophisticated so take a look).

1. The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden — 3.5 Stars (Read August 24-26)

Sydney Shaw finally thinks she’s found the perfect boyfriend—a charming, handsome doctor—but her excitement fades when a string of murders reveals a killer who dates his victims before murdering them. As Sydney begins to suspect her seemingly perfect partner may be hiding a dark secret, she must uncover the truth before she becomes his next victim.

My review: Not my favorite from Freida, not my least favorite. Didn’t love the backstory here nor the twist.

2. The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez — 4.75 Stars (Read August 26-28)

Larissa and Chris have built a comfortable friendship filled with shared books, co-parenting a chaotic rescue Yorkie, and the kind of connection that feels effortless. But when Larissa chooses Chris’s best friend as her boyfriend instead, Chris must grapple with his growing feelings and the painful reality that the person who feels so right may be completely off-limits.

My review: My heart is still fluttering after reading this. Cute, beautiful, wonderful, I need a man like Chris in my life. One of my new favorite books, I have nothing bad to say.

3. The Divorce by Freida McFadden — 3.75 Stars (Read August 28-31)

Naomi’s perfect life falls apart when her husband abruptly kicks her out, drains their accounts, and leaves her for a younger woman. Refusing to accept her new reality, Naomi becomes obsessed with his girlfriend, uncovering dark secrets that put her own life in danger as she fights to reclaim her family.

My review: The runner-up for my favorite Freida book this month. I didn’t see the twist coming, but really enjoyed it. The epilogue left me with sooo many questions.

4. Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden — 4.25 Stars (Read August 31-September 2)

Debbie Mullen, an advice columnist who has spent years helping women navigate their troubled marriages, finds her own life unraveling after losing her job, dealing with her daughters, and suspecting her husband is keeping secrets. Finally done being the bigger person, Debbie decides to take her own advice—and seek payback against everyone who has wronged her.

My review: This one left me STUNNED. Debbie is very Bree Van de Kamp coded, and I’d like to think they’d be the best of friends. Twist after twist here, making it one of my favorite Freida books.

5. None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell — 3.5 Stars (Read September 4-5)

When podcaster Alix Summer meets her birthday twin Josie Fair, she becomes intrigued by the woman’s mysterious life and invites her into her podcast—and eventually her home. But when Josie suddenly disappears, Alix uncovers a terrifying trail of secrets and realizes she and her family have become the subjects of a real-life true crime story.

My review: I was expecting something bigger at the end, but I feel like the story never landed anywhere. The ending felt a bit rushed. I really enjoyed the first 75% of this book, but it felt like a bit of a letdown. Still good, and I would definitely read more from this author.

6. Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez — 2.25 Stars (Read August 31-September 12)

Samantha meets Xavier, a gorgeous veterinarian who seems almost perfect—until his mouth gets him into trouble and their undeniable chemistry turns complicated. When a family crisis forces Samantha to walk away, neither of them can forget their incredible night together, leaving them to wonder if one perfect moment could become something more.

My review: I love Abby’s books, but I just could not get on board with this book. Something in this just wasn’t clicking for me.

7. Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry — 3.25 Stars (Read September 12-15)

Alice Scott and Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Hayden Anderson compete for the chance to write the biography of Margaret Ives, a legendary heiress with a scandalous past who has vanished from public life. As Margaret reveals her story in fragments, Alice and Hayden find themselves caught between fierce competition, undeniable chemistry, and the possibility that their own story may be just as complicated as hers.

My review: I love old-Hollywood stories, so I really enjoyed that aspect, and overall I enjoyed the entire story, but the ending and twist felt really rushed. Overall, still worth the read, I’d say!

8. Phoebe Berman’s Gonna Lose It by Brooke Averick — 3 Stars (Read September 3-18)

Phoebe Berman, a hopeless romantic approaching thirty, has always dreamed of finding love but struggles with the anxiety that comes with dating and intimacy. Determined to finally push herself outside her comfort zone, she finds her quiet life turned upside down when she suddenly has three potential love interests to navigate.

My review: I thought this was a really cute, light-hearted book. I appreciate stories like that. Reading is an escape for me, so I rarely want to read anything depressing. This made me forget any stressors and allowed me to get lost in something easy. Highly recommend.

A collection of the things currently holding my attention—beauty finds, places, habits, and little luxuries I’m saving a spot for. Think of it as a rotating list of what I want right now.

Everything I’m fantasizing about adding to my closet & vanity this fall.

(Shop everything here)

Beauty

Emi Jay is an amazing brand with high-quality products. I’ve been wanting a microfiber towel, and this limited edition one seems perfect.

Adding to the haircare wishlist, I’m looking for a deeply hydrating mask that could bring back any texture I may have lost over 15+ years of heat use. This one from Oribe looks promising.

All of the Sephora holiday limited-edition releases are calling to me. This Mocha Bonbon shade lip balm from Summer Fridays feels made for me. A definite grab this holiday season.

Fashion

I’ve been loving hoops lately, and am wanting a bigger size. These 1.5” Thread Baby Hoops from Jennifer Fisher are exactly what I’m looking for.

I think these scarf wraps are going to be very “in” this season, and I’m already falling for it. Sell it in brown, and I’ll most likely buy it. The fringe detailing is so cute, yet simple.

Chocolate brown = mine. These satin ballet flats are so cute, especially with the ruched strap.

Can’t get enough plain tops, especially when they’re knit and brown. Love how this is styled here.

This Week’s Delivery:

Kindle & Etsy Case

In the past month, I’ve read seven books. I repeat, seven. I could not have done it without my Kindle. There is something magical in them that makes me read so much faster than I would a physical copy. I can’t stress enough how much Kindles are worth the money. I get 90% of my books for free through Libby, so it’s worth it to me. Pair it with this cute personalized Kindle case, and it’s my dream reading setup come true.

MANGO Hoop Earrings

My best find this past summer has been these gold hoops from Mango. So affordable, and look so much more expensive than they actually are. I’ve been loving bigger hoops, so I’m already looking for something a bit bigger, but these are still perfect for everyday.

Asics Gel-NYC 2055 Sneakers

I desperately needed new workout sneakers, and I had a credit at Madewell, and how these. I’ve been wanting to try Asics for a while now, and this colorway is a dream. I love them so much, and they’re going to be perfect for all my walks this fall.

POV Beauty Whip It Whipped Skin Barrier Cream

POV Beauty landed at Sephora this month, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t the least bit curious given all the controversy over this brand. I was in need of a new moisturizer and was intrigued by the rich whipped formula this product promised. I’ve only been using it for about two weeks, but I can truthfully say that I really enjoy it. It absorbs so quickly while hydrating my skin so deeply. It feels really refreshing, and I wake up with the softest, smoothest skin.

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Loose Powder

I’m not much of a powder girl, but I love the idea of getting a brighter undereye. I kept seeing people rave about this new powder, and I immediately wanted to try it when I saw it promised a natural, airbrushed finish. I’ve been using it for the past few days, and I love it. I look so much more awake, and it doesn’t make my undereyes look cakey in the slightest, which is usually my biggest fear when it comes to powder products.

Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Frizz Reduction & Heat Protectant Hair Oil

I’ve had this oil for a while, but I was never impressed anytime I used it. Recently, I accidentally used a lot more than I typically do, and I woke up with the softest, silkiest hair ever. I think my problem was that I was never using enough. I’ve been using it for almost a month straight now, and while I’m going through it super quickly, the results are worth it.

Crown Affair The Overnight Repair Serum Treatment for Dry, Damaged Hair

Another hair favorite, another product that I wasn’t using correctly (who do I think I am?!). You HAVE to use this on dry hair in order to get the results promised. So every night, after washing my hair and letting it air dry, I rake this through my hair and then brush it entirely, and seal it in with two braids overnight. I wake up with the most perfect hair that feels so hydrated.

The amenities are officially yours to enjoy. I highly recommend partaking in a few.

As sad as I am to let go of my summer tan and natural blush, fall and winter makeup are some of my favorites. Smokey eyes, lots of shimmer, and vanilla-scented everything. Ready to know what’s sitting on my vanity this month?

LANCÔME - Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer

Swapping out the darkest shade of my Tower 28 concealer for a paler, thinner (but still full-coverage) option that I reintroduce to my routine each fall. Perfect to use all over as my skin starts to lose hydration.

CHANEL - Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick Highlighter

Since I’ll be chasing my summer glow until next June, this Chanel highlighting balm will come everywhere with me for the next few months. Non-sticky, non-glittery, all-natural.

WESTMAN ATELIER | Face Trace Contour Stick

I love using my Westman contours as bronzers during the fall. They become the perfect neutral bronzy color for me as I start to lose my tan.

HUDA Beauty Liquid Blush & Patrick Ta Blush Duo

Two blushes that stand out for me every fall. HUDA offers the most beautiful colors (looking at you, latte), and Patrick Ta offers the most convenience (and colors) for busy mornings when I don’t want to think about what powder and liquid blush to pair.

DOLCE&GABBANA - Ever Icon Eye Palette

Obsessing over the beauty that is this palette. Love a darker eye during the fall time and this offers day & night looks.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Hydrating Lip Balm

How stunning is this “Garconne” shade? The perfect fall-berry look. I use this almost every day during the colder months.

PAT McGRATH LABS LUST: Lip Gloss

Fall & winter just scream shimmer. No one does a shimmer gloss better than Pat McGrath. I own three (Bronze Divinity, Earth Angel, & Bronze Venus).

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in NEW Limited Edition Mocha Bonbon

Long-time lover of SF lippies, and their new holiday release WILL be on my vanity this month; that’s for sure.

MAKEUP BY MARIO - Ultra Suede Sculpting Lip Pencil

No one does liners like Mario. He has created the perfect nudes for fall. My recs are Toasty, Travis, Almond, Smokey Pink, and Spiced Chai.

This Week’s Delivery:

Brown Lipliner

As a medium-neutral, olive skin girl, I STRUGGLE with colors in general. This is why I stick to neutrals when it comes to my clothing. With makeup, it’s even harder. My lips love to do this thing where cool-toned liners turn ashy on me, and warm ones look bright orange. The only kind that actually look good on me, in every light? Brown. This is why it’s my favorite color; it never lets me down. So I needed to give my top three favorites a shout-out this month. If you are in the same boat as me, and want to cry every time you try a new lip liner, I promise (promise), these will work wonders for you.

— Makeup Forever Limitless Brown

Described as a rich chocolate brown, and it is truly a rich chocolate brown. It’s a multi-use liner, and is stunning on the eyes. When you swatch it on your hands, it looks like a basic brown, but once applied, there really is so much richness to the tone. Little tip: I love taking a liner that doesn’t work on its own for me, and adding it on top to blend the brown in. Gives me the perfect nude shade every time.

— Makeup By Mario Travis

Every time I see a lip liner described as a chocolate brown, I cringe when it ends up having the most ORANGE base. When I think of chocolate brown, I think of a neutral mocha color, and this is exactly what this is. It’s not harsh at all on me, and Mario’s formulas are top-tier. I can’t stress enough how much I love this one.

— NYX Maison

A new favorite, and only six dollars. I seriously ordered another one to live in my bag the first time I swatched this. It’s that good. It’s another good neutral that I’d argue leans slightly more cool, and is very subtle. If you’re a bit paler and feel intimidated by a brown liner, I’d say this is a great one to try. Pair it with a nude gloss, and you have the perfect combo.

40 Dates and 40 Nights

I’d hate to be my living room Wyze camera, because I could only imagine the stupid look on my face as I went “AWWW” for the 50th time while watching this movie. Honestly, for the first 15-minutes of the movie, I had my doubts, but the minute the story started to evolve, I was hooked. The chemistry these two actors had was so insane that I had to search to see if they were dating in real life. It’s the sweetest love story, and the characters were so likable. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a new rom-com to watch.

Crown Affair The Leave-In Conditioner Cream

I’ve gone back and forth with using this over the past year or two. I really do love it, but just prefer a spray leave-in. But I recently started using this again and was quickly reminded how dreamy it is. My hair feels so light the next day, so soft, and so much easier to style after using it the night before. I’m close to running out, but this is something I will need to rebuy once I finish a few other stray leave-ins that I have (yay me for trying not to be wasteful).

Coach Chelsea 30 in Maple

I got it. Yup, I knew I’d give in eventually. I mentioned this bag in my last Reserved For post, and it’s a dream. I truly am a sucker for anything brown colored, and the Maple color from Coach is so stunning and rich. I feel so 90’s NYC, and I will be using this all fall long. So roomy, so sleek, so light, so easy to style.

Fenty Butta Drop Hydrating Body Milk in Vanilla Flowers

I wish I had the proof, but I mentioned in a now-deleted post months ago that this was my dream product. I purchased the body wash the second I smelled it in Ulta when it first dropped, and ever since, I’ve wanted this scent in every body care product possible. When I saw they dropped a body milk, I ran to order. I’ve been wanting to try Fenty’s body milk in general, so this was a double-win. No surprise here, it’s great. I love it. The scent, the hydration—Fenty never fails me.

The amenities are officially yours to enjoy. I highly recommend partaking in a few.

With Love,
