This week’s vlog was packed, okay. I’m taking y’all with me from my Monday after-work prep (packing, basic upkeep, and getting my makeup bag together) all the way to a Raleigh road trip to see Nicki Minaj—Big Barb energy only. I also shared some of the little beauty finds I’ve been loving lately, like my e.l.f. freebies (yes, sign up for the samples) and what I’m using when I don’t feel like doing a full lash moment. Plus, I unboxed my new Firmoo frames and gave y’all the real tea on why I’ve been buying from them for years—because I love saving coins and the quality is giving. In Raleigh, we did hotel check-in, dinner, got cute, and hit the concert. I’m not even gonna lie—the show was a moment and Nicki looked amazing, but the intermissions were long and it dragged. We even witnessed a whole chaotic fight situation that was wild. After getting back to Charlotte, I got back into real life—work prep, grocery run, and showing y’all the adapters I use to edit on my phone when I don’t feel like pulling out my computer. To wrap the week, I squeezed in SkyFit Dance Fitness (because I’m really trying to get consistent) and did a little shopping run before coming home to work on my patio: privacy screening, mosquito net setup, and decor pieces to bring my outdoor space together.
