This month’s list of favorites is a very good one. It’s a mix of old favorites and new additions, and if you ask me – everything on the list is not to be missed!
November Favorites
I was personally so excited about the Via Carota cookbook – it’s one of my favorite restaurants in New York, I even pre-ordered it. I cannot WAIT to get cooking once I am settled in. It looks promising so far.
On the beauty front:
I tried out Saie + Reformation’s collaboration: a gorgeous pinky highlighter – I really love it. It’s just pink enough to give you a rosy glow… but not so pink that it should be used as blush. It’s just really, really pretty! I also rediscovered my love of the Brazilian Bum Bum cream… I’ve been using this for years but am not very monogamous with my body creams. I had brought a tub of it with me to LA and my boyfriend was like “WHAT PERFUME IS THAT!?” He has never reacted that way to a fragrance I’ve worn so I left that jar at his place and ordered some more. It really does just smell so good.. like salted caramel and pistachio.
Also, the Bader lash serum! I am going to write a longer review of this product but I like it a lot. I have been using it for 8 weeks now and don’t see a difference vs. Grande Lash (but this is non-irritating and doesn’t contain any of the bad stuff).
Last but not least, I am not into shapewear – I generally find it uncomfortable and constricting BUT I was wearing a clingier dress and bought this high-waisted underwear and it’s pretty amazing. Not too constricting but just smooths away any lumps and bumps. Along those lines, the best black tights. I wear the M/L. So opaque!

Hi Grace,

I love that shoe so much you designed but I have to stop somewhere . Don’t I ? I have a small jar of Bum Bum cream and spray in my cart and I couldn’t sleep and so I was reading reviews on several cremes at Sephora for my sensitive face to get last night after 2:00AM. I’m giggling because you did say your boyfriend loved that cream . And , I don’t take reviews that seriously because who knows who these people are right? But seriously , a woman said that her cat would not sleep in her room for weeks even after she washed her sheets after using that. I am sure that just ain’t true . I’d like to meet that cat. After that I had the giggles for at least half hour !!!! The rest of the reviews were that it smelled absolutely amazing !! I’m still getting it. Lol.
That is so funny! Cats can be really particular – for example, most cats find lavender repulsive!!!
Is there a link for the sunglasses somewhere? Love them!
So sorry, they sold out! They’re from Krewe! https://www.krewe.com/
Hi! Curious if you prefer the RMS or Jones Road foundation— is RMS more coverage?
Hi! They are the two foundations I alternate between. Jones Road gives a dewy, sheer and buildable finish. Great for everyday. The RMS is more coverage. Perfect for shoot days and events!
