Nevertheless it was Trend Week, and I instructed my hair stylist that I believed bangs would look actually cute with my outfit, and he mentioned, “We should always simply lower them.” And I actually haven’t seemed again. Once I’m styling them myself, the Mane heated spherical brush has been a lifesaver. I can’t use a straightener on my bangs with out wanting doofy, a curling iron makes me seem like Annie, and wetting them is an entire challenge—however this instrument makes them look one of the best, and it’s by far the best.

I’m not kidding, it dries up any pimple in 24 hours. I am going all over the place with it.

It actually does make my make-up look totally different on my face: All the pieces simply goes on smoother, and I’m undoubtedly a little bit bit glowier with it. I’m a fan, as a result of I favor a dewey, pure, “Is she sweating a little bit?” make-up look to a matte one. I’m not a baking lady…in any sense of the phrase.

Certainly one of my mother’s guidelines is to all the time have a bottle of bubbles within the fridge. When I’ve girlfriends over or I’m on the brink of exit, I’m solely consuming prosecco. Generally you’re simply not within the temper for a boozy cocktail or the fashionable drink du jour. I hate Aperol Spritzes—I feel they style like Robitussin. It’s good to have a go-to various that also feels enjoyable and fancy. Plus, I undoubtedly have a Champagne essence. It’s so bubbly, so stylish, so enjoyable. In Italy, my dad mentioned to me, “You need to solely drink prosecco for the remainder of your life as a result of it simply feels so that you.”
