What I’m Loving Newsletter #16

January 29, 2025

What I'm Loving NewsletterI am so happy to be back with you, sharing what I love! I have some new things I’m loving and had to reshare a few oldies but goodies!

So let’s get to it and find some new loves!

Makeup

Milk Hydro Grip and Glo Primer—This was a great find! I had gotten a sample of their original grip primer, but when I saw it was available in a glow option, I had to try it. I am loving the glow I get from this primer!  Apply it before your makeup and get ready for long-lasting makeup all day and a beautiful glow that doesn’t stop!

Thrive Brillant Eye Brightner—I have used this eye shadow stick for years and continue to love it. It’s super easy to apply, looks luminous, and lasts all day. It also comes in so many beautiful colors. They always have sales or promotions, so it’s a great way to try it. A big plus is the clean ingredients!

RMS Lip2Cheek in Beloved—This red blush is an internet favorite, and now I see why. My sister told me about this blush, and I was a little skeptical about the color, but I’m so glad I checked it out! A tiny bit gives you a healthy, fresh, long-lasting, beautiful outdoor look. A little bit goes a long way, so it will last a long time. That’s pretty perfect!

More To Love

Supergoop Hand Screen – I use this practically every day. I keep it nearby so that when I’m going out, I can apply it before getting in my car. It’s super hydrating and has an SPF 40 that protects your hands from the sun and age spots. Hands show age early, so start with this daily and keep your hands looking young every day.

Color The World Lipsticks – Another favorite that I continue to use daily! I get asked quite a bit about the color of my lipsticks, and I refer them to this site. You can take a quick online color quiz, and it will match you up with your lipstick colors. I also love how they never leave my lips dry. If you’re looking for a new lipstick shade, check them out, and you might love them also!

Cliganic Organic Jojabo Oil –This oil is fantastic and has made a difference in my skin, especially in colder weather. Jojoba is the most naturally related oil to our sebum, so your skin loves it. I use about five drops at night after I have cleansed and toned.  With this oil, my skin looks luminous, glowing, and poreless. It’s so worth trying!

Health Products I’m Loving

Healthy Bones Co. Collagen Peptides – I am loving these collagen peptides! I have tried many, and I honestly feel a difference with these. This is a bone health-focused company, which was what I was looking for. Bone health is one of my goals this year, and this company has some great products to help me achieve that goal. I take other supplements from them, but this is my favorite. This product has dramatically reduced joint pain and helps with workout recovery. A big plus is your hair, nails, and skin will reap the benefits and look amazing.  I take one scoop daily and love it. It blends easily in any liquid, which makes it convenient and easy. If you want your bones to be in the best condition, no matter your age, try this!

Pique Tea – This is my daily tea. My husband and I agree: There is no tea like Pique. The quality and taste are unmatched. I love their mint green in the morning, which gives me nice energy for the day and all the health benefits in one cup. Their digestion tea is strong but will settle a stomach quickly. Because it’s a freeze-dried tea, it’s great for travel. It is also organic and triple-screened for toxins, making this an all-around perfect tea choice.

Supplements

Just Thrive Probiotic – Need a probiotic but don’t know how to decide on one? This one is amazing. I have tried many, and after I found this one, I didn’t have to look anymore. This will heal and bring health to your gut area in no time. After just a few doses, I felt such a difference in this product. Having optimal gut health is so essential for nutrition and absorption issues. Check this out if you need some help in that area. You will be amazed at the difference it makes!

Pure Synergy Super B Complex – B vitamins are crucial for energy, nerves, and cognitive issues. I am loving this one! This company has an excellent reputation for clean-ingredient products, which is vital to me when choosing supplements. I take this every morning with other supplements, giving me all-day energy without the jitters that some B Complex vitamins can have. Try this if you need to start your day with more pep and energy!

Books I’m Loving

The Women by Kristen Hannah- This book! With thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon, it’s no wonder this book has been read by so many! The story follows a young nurse whose brother Finley had been killed in Vietnam. Without her parent’s initial knowledge, she enlists in the Army, is sent to Vietnam, and becomes a combat nurse. This is a “can’t put it down book.” It also gives a riveting picture of what nurses and soldiers went through during the war and on their return home. This story will stick with you for a long time.

The Medicine Woman of Galveston by Amanda Skenadore –This was so good! I have read other books by this author, which are always such good reads. The story is set in the 1900s and is about Dr. Tucia, who hasn’t touched a stethoscope or scalpel since a fatal mistake in an operating room. When desperation sets in from being fired from her job and having no money, she is swindled into joining a traveling medicine show. Eventually, she winds up in Galveston, where she will experience the devastation of a hurricane in the 1900’s.  You might stay up too late trading this book, but it’s worth it!

More Books

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer –Wow, what a good book! We live in a fast-paced world and can easily get caught up in it if we aren’t careful. This book covers many areas of living a more peaceful life and recognizing what steals your time. I have gifted this book to others because it’s so well-written and practical. It’s humorous, profound, God-centered, and much needed for today’s world.

Forever Strong –The title says it all. We want to be strong all through life, and to do that, we must maintain and increase our muscle strength. That’s where longevity and quality of life are. This great foundational book will help you get there and think differently about eating and exercising for optimal muscle health, regardless of your age.

Thats it! I hope this list guides you in trying something new. If it does, share the love!

Until next time,

~pat
