It was a short week but usually, that means it's all the more busy and stressful. I don't know when work got so busy but it has and it's interesting. My days go much faster and I feel more accomplished but it's definitely tiring.
I've spent the past few hours laying in bed, doing a whole lot of nothing as my Friday nights usually go, but I felt more drained and dead inside (LOL) than usual. However, Gilmore Girls marathons make those times much better and that's currently what I'm doing now.
In other TV news, Riverdale came back this week and I was super pumped. I finished binging the first season as well as catching up on the 2nd (I spent almost $20 on the episodes on Amazon Video because I just needed to finish) and it's my new addiction. The show is so unique, so fun, so dramatic and has that perfect CW twist.
I also tried to watch Black Mirror, made it through 4 episodes and just gave up. I don't understand it, the 5th episode was in complete black & white, and I just can't get into it. On that note, I discovered that I could watch Netflix on my television through one of the cable channels on Fios -- this is a game changer.
I need more Netflix recommendations so please leave them below!! There's so much to watch but yet, I don't want to watch any of them. Weird...
I wanted today to be the day I made a special announcement but I don't think that's going to happen the way I planned. I'm hoping that by Sunday/Monday I'll have everything complete but I can give a sneak peek as I've already mentioned it on social media.
I'm launching a new newsletter. I've been toying with the idea for a while, about launching a beauty-focused newsletter because there is another side to my beauty passion besides what you see on the blog. I also love newsletters, like The Newsette and theSkimm because it gives you snippets of the news you need without being overwhelming.
My Royally Pink newsletter kind of flopped because I felt like it was just a repeat of what was on the blog and it seemed redundant to rewrite information.
Please sign up for the newsletter here; I promise it's going to be different and give a unique perspective on the beauty industry.
All that aside, here are the links I loved this week:
