March Favorites

Hi everyone,

As it’s the end of the month, I thought that today would be the perfect day to do my March favorites. I have a pretty good and fun mix of favorites this month, so let’s get into it.

Starting with beauty, I have a couple of favorites from my March BoxyCharm box, and if you haven’t read that post I’ll link it down below. My first Boxy favorite is the Too Faced Damn Girl Mascara. This is one of those holy grail makeup items for me, it has a really nice and creamy formula that doesn’t smudge, run, transfer or flake. The brush is on the fluffier side and it really does a great job of coating all of your lashes. Plus you get a ton of volume and length without your lashes feeling heavy. This is a mascara I always recommend.

My next favorite is the Lime Crime Venus 3 Eyeshadow Palette. I wanted this palette when I saw the spoilers for the box and I’m so happy that I got it. This is an 8 pan palette with a shade range of lilac, rose gold, mauve and brown. There are also five different finishes, matte, foil, sparkly matte, sparkly metallic and metallic. I’ve been using this palette quite a bit and I have a 3 recent looks post coming on it. I don’t want to give away too much of my thoughts on it right now, but I will say that I definitely recommend giving this palette a try. 

And my last beauty favorite is the Maven Beauty Rose Water Setting Spray. This is a product that I was slightly unsure about when I saw it because I really don’t like the essence of rose in beauty and skincare products, but I do love a good setting spray. After a few times of using it I can tell you that I do really like it. Once you spray it the smell dissipates pretty quickly and what you’re left with is makeup that it locked into place for up to 16 hours and won’t smudge. 

Moving on to more random favorites, I first have a fashion favorite and it’s a pair of shoes. It’s not just any pair of shoes though, these are the Hoka One One Cavu 3’s. I’ve been looking for a good workout/running shoe for a long time and hands down these are the best ones I’ve tried. They’re comfortable, supportive and they don’t give me shin splints, which is huge. These are a little more expensive, but the quality and comfort is worth every penny. I also have to thank Tony Kanaan for recommending Hoka, because I might not have found them otherwise. 

My next favorite is a candy favorite and it’s the Hershey’s Cookies and Creme bar. Cookies and creme is one of my favorite flavor combos, and I’ve always liked the Hershey bars but they’ve been revamped and now have more cookie pieces which make it that much better. Definitely recommend.

 

My second to last favorite is a racing favorite and it’s an event that took place last weekend, Funny Car Chaos. I watched the live stream of the race and it was so fun to see so many Funny Cars show up to qualify and race, every round was great, the races were close and it was a great event to watch. 

And my last favorite is a music favorite. This month it’s Eric Clapton, in March I spend a lot of time listening to Eric because it’s his birthday month and while I listen to him regularly in general, but it’s definitely more in March. 

That abut wraps it up for this post, if we had any of the same favorites let me know and if not I’d love to know what your March favorites were. 

Until next time, enjoy your favorites and I hope you had a great March :).

Racing in Pomona: Finals edition

Hi everyone,

This weeks race took us to Pomona, California for the Auto Club NHRA Finals and a lot went down. I am going to note first off that yesterday marked Richie Crampton’s last race with Kalitta Motorsports. I wish him the best and hope that he’s able to find another ride in the future. Now for the big thing, if you watched the race and even if you didn’t but you have any sort of social media, then you will have seen the altercation between Steve Torrence and Cameron Ferre that resulted in Steve hitting Cameron in the face. When I write these posts I keep my personal feelings out of it and I’m going to do that here as well. But I will say that the fans that were at the race and the fans all across the internet have been telling Steve and the NHRA exactly what they think and what they think should be done. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so many race fans, not just drag racing fans, united and agreeing on a situation which says something.

So, on to the actual racing and starting with Top Fuel, the ladder looked like this; #1 Steve Torrence (3.68) vs #16 Cameron Ferre (3.95), #2 Leah Pritchett (3.69) vs #15 Scott Palmer (3.77), #3 Clay Millican (3.69) vs #14 Justin Ashley (3.76), #4 Mike Salinas (3.69) vs #13 Richie Crampton (3.75), #5 Billy Torrence (3.70) vs #12 Shawn Reed (3.74), #6 Doug Kalitta (3.71) vs #11 Terry McMillen (3.73), #7 Jordan Vandergriff (3.71) vs #10 Austin Prock (3.73) and #8 Brittany Force (3.72) vs #9 Antron Brown (3.72).
