MARIA'S NOTES

Do you guys feel that?? If you’re sitting pretty on the east coast like moi it’s finally starting to feel like summer outside! But if you’re one of my besties on another side of the globe, don’t worry, some summer sun will find you soon 😉 With the month of May almost in our rearview and a new month peaking through on the horizon, it’s time reminisce a bit by recapping what we absolutely loved during May:

Love Island USA: Season 6

…. .Guys…Hear me out…The new season is starting and we all know we want that cast list to release now. Love Island USA season 6 did big numbers throughout the United States for its strong cast and exceptionally dramatic editing and storylines (yes Andrea dumping scene, I’m speaking about you) Love Island USA season 6 quite possibly outperformed each one of its prior seasons and is setting the expectation of what’s to come of the next cast. If you’re trying to reign in that summer heat a little earlier, want to reminisce on all the bombshell arrivals, or want to build excitement for the new season to come, this series season is an awesome way to close out the month in anticipation for the new season to be aired next month.

This product is a must have in your makeup arsenal this summer. Since May is a transitory month, you can still pretty much get away with the same coverage you had at the beginning of spring. This product is flexible, super blendable and pigmented–the dual product it offers allows you to have a contoured effect when you apply both shades, and also provides the opportunity to wear each shade individually depending on your preference for a given look. You truly can have the best of both worlds with this thing 😉

Sabrina Carpenter- Espresso

Isn’t that sweet, I guess so? Nothing screams summer fun like Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. This Billboard Top 100 song first made its rounds throughout mainstream media last summer, but it’s still on almost everyones playlist rotation for this year and quite possibly for many years to come. The uptempo rhythms and clever play on words will have you running to press repeat on your stereos all summer long.

And that’s a wrap on our May favorites! Given that May is the season of matriculation and graduation, I wanna tip my hat and send a special shoutout to all of you who graduated this season. I’m very proud of us all and have high hopes for what’s to come! Now that we’re all approaching the summer season let’s take a beat, refresh, and maybe get started on this may favorites list to help us bring in the summer season. I hope the beginning of June brings you beautiful days, sleepy restful evenings, and fun nights to come. I’ll be checking back in soon, besties 😉

With love,

Maria
