 I realized that the closer I get to being 40 years old the more I am discovering about myself. It is fun and scary at the same time. I am not changing overly drastically, but I am changing and paying close attention to the things I like and want. Today I am going to share some of my favorite things with you.

Tea has always been something that I loved. Growing up in a Caribbean household it is something that we have to have in the morning as well as at night. To this day my uncle makes tea for my aunt every morning and every night. In recent years I have grown a true appreciation for loose leaf tea. I find myself frequenting Teavana to get my fix. Currently I am drinking Blueberry Bliss and Pineapple Kona Pop together. However my favorite is Dragonfruit Devotion. I just love this stuff. I even have a small travel container for my tea. I am serious about having the good stuff.

As I am getting older I realize that I never really learned how to apply make-up properly, so I went to Sephora for a lesson on how to do a No Make-up Make-up application. That was awesome. It was here that I realized I love lippies. So I went hunting for my signature red lipstick and the lucky winner was Urban Decay matte revolution lipstick in color Bad Blood. Even though I am calling it my signature color I know I will be on the hunt for many more signature colors…lol. I have always loved lip gloss and recently found Rosebud Perfume Company Rosebud Salves. This feels so amazing on the lips.

Finally but I am certain not last. I love LUSH. Seeing as I told you about my love for lippies I am so into the mint julep lip scrub. This stuff is amazing.

It’s easy to see that my lips are important to me..lol. I hope you all get a chance to explore some new things that can become your favorite thing.

Have a wonderful day,
