PRODUCTS I'M LOVING LATELY + MAY GOALS

May 1, 2018

This post has been sponsored by the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own.

I always love sharing my goals with you each month, but as always, I love to jazz them up a bit and give you as much jam-packed goodness as I can! Today, I thought it would be fun to share with you some products I'm loving lately--everything from beauty products to self-care essentials. Then of course, I'm sharing a recap of my April goals and my new goals as we head into May.



This is the most hydrating lip serum ever! I've been using it almost every day and my lips have been so smooth! It's also infused with pure color pigments that flush to the perfect pink color for your lips. It's your fool proof perfect pink! I usually wear it alone with a simple makeup look, but you can also use it to layer under other lip products as well!

Pamprin Multi-Symptom //


Ladies, this product is a life saver. Pamprin is truly my sidekick during that time of the month. Not to give you TMI, but I usually have the worst cramps ever and all I want to do is lay in bed all day long. For the past few months, I've been taking Pamprin Multi-Symptom to help treat my cramps and also help fight bloating and irritability. Personally, I have noticed a dramatic difference in the severity of my cramps and symptoms. Its three active ingredients are the perfect trio to make life a little less miserable during that time. It has an antihistamine to relieve irritability, a diuretic to fight against bloating and water weight gain, and a pain reliever to alleviate cramps. PMS is the worst, so why not make life a little better? You can grab Pamprin Multi-Symptom for yourself at your local Walmart or shop online here!






I've been using this face and neck creme on and off for the past year and I just recently started using it again. My skin always feels so good after I use it. It helps to firm and strengthen your skin and it also gives your skin a radiant glow. It's oil-free & fragrance-free, and it helps your skin boost its natural collagen & elastin production for a little face lift. It's basically a face lift in a jar!

Tassel earrings have been my jam lately. I can't pick just a few that I love, so I linked the whole tassel earrings section from Target, but honestly, can I just have one of each, please?! Chris and I were shopping the other day and we walked past the Sugar Fix section and I gasped because they were so freakin' cute! When your husband stops and picks out a pair and is like, "these are so you", you obviously have a love obsession with tassel earrings.




I can't give you too much information on this product (hint: I have a whole blog post on it coming super soon!), but I've been obsessing over it. It helps to give my skin a deep clean and help break down dirt and oils on my skin. It also helps remove makeup that I had no idea was even there! I've been using it everyday for a little over three weeks now and my skin is definitely improving. I'll have a full review along with some other PMD products in just a couple of weeks. 😊

Have you used any of these products before?!

Now it's time to talk goals! I have a lot going on in the next seven weeks as we prepare for our move, but I have a business to run, so sticking to my goals is still extremely important.

April Goals Recap //

Personal Goals

One // Purge our apartment

You guys! It's felt so amazing to purge my our apartment. We've gotten rid of bags upon bags of trash, clutter, and things we simply don't need anymore. This weekend I had a few people come over and go through the clothes I'm giving away and I have some more peeps coming over later this week!


Two // Take better care of my body

Okay, I'm terrible at this. However, I did start eating healthier...but working out. That's another story. I walked to the kitchen from my living room...all 10 feet. That totally does not count, does it?

Three // Establish better work hours

I'm starting to get better with this. I haven't been working as much on the weekends, but at night, I'm still finding myself posting a picture, finishing up writing a post, or editing a post with my editor aka. my Mama. I really need to wake up earlier...that's my whole problem.

Blogging Goals

One // Pitch a minimum of two brands per week

Check. Check. Check!! 🙌 Y'all I have some really amazing content coming with brands I've partnered with. I cannot wait to share it all with you!!

Two // Be more active on Pinterest

I was definitely less active on Pinterest this month, and my pageviews suffered because of it. Definitely learned a lesson this month...never again will I let that happen. 

Three // Respond quicker to comments & questions

I've been getting better, but I can still improve. Responding to quick questions and comments on Instagram is easy, but I seriously need to get my butt into gear and respond to the hundreds of comments on my blog that I have yet to respond to. I feel a comment day coming soon.

May Goals //

Personal //

One // Leave the house more than once a week

Yep, you read that right. I literally only leave my house for church on Sunday's and sometimes for worship practice on Thursday's. My mindset is always, why waste makeup and a good outfit if I'm not going anywhere...or seeing anyone. Well friends, I need your help with this one. I literally need y'all to force me to leave my house haha!

Two // Wake up and start my day by 9 AM

I'm a night owl and I get super creative at night--which is when I write a lot, but it also means that I sleep the day away. It's totally not good for my physical health, but most of all, my mental health. Honestly, I need to get a life outside of work and home.

Three // Have a date night with my hubby

We just celebrated our one year anni on the 22nd of April! It's so, so important to keep going on dates & adventures, so I want to plan something fun to do, especially since it's been so nice out!

Blogging //

One // Sell 20 copies of my e-book



In case ya missed it, I launched my e-book: A Guide to Genuinely Grow on Instagram two weeks ago! So many of you have already picked it up and I am so, so thankful. I hope that it's bringing you the growth that you deserve. If you haven't gotten your copy yet, click here! My goal is to sell 20 copies of my e-book this month, because if I hit this goal, then I'm treating myself to a haircut, balayage touch up, and manicure! Ya girl needs a spa day!

Two // Shoot more style content on the weekends

Now that it's super nice out, I can take more style content. My goal is to shoot 1-2 outfits each weekend so that I can bring you more of the style content that you want!

What outfits/style are you hoping to see on the blog? What are some of your goals this month?

  3. I am working on similar goals for myself. I have been working on decluttering mostly. I am a work in progress. I used to have some hoarding tendencies.

    1. Decluttering is definitely a process. Take it one room or drawer at a time!

  4. I haven't tried anything from IT Cosmetics before (they're a pretty pricey brand here in Australia - story of my life) but I'm super keen! Estee Lauder's Resilience Lift sounds amazing too! Good luck with this month's goals as well. How good does a good, thorough house clean-out feel?! Replying to blog comments was a goal of mine in April, too (I nailed it). I'd definitely like to have a date night this month as well. Hopefully we both get one in. :) xx
