April beauty faves + what I’m reading

April is my birthday month so of course it’s my favorite month of the year. Some makeup, skincare, bodycare and fragrance favorites for April and what I’m currently reading ( so far I like it) Do you see any faves? Also what are you currently reading? Need some book recommendations ♥️

... Read moreApril is an ideal time to refresh your beauty routine by embracing products that suit the season’s atmosphere and skin needs. Makeup enthusiasts can enjoy lightweight alternatives like Glotion by L’Oreal and Rare Beauty’s Spiced Latte bronzer to achieve a fresh, radiant look without heavy foundation. Incorporating Korean skincare favorites has become transformative for many, promoting hydration, glow, and improved skin texture—ingredients like centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and green tea are popular for their soothing properties. For bodycare, the trend leans toward nourishing oils infused with natural botanicals, which help maintain skin softness during seasonal changes. Fragrance choices in April often highlight bright and fresh notes; combining citrus, soft florals, and subtle vanillas can evoke the spirit of spring. Coremonia’s guava and citrus blends or ethereal floral scents like Chloe’s soft vanilla offer an uplifting aroma that complements the season. In addition to beauty, reading is a perfect spring activity. Books that blend mystery and nature, such as "The Of the Woods" by Liz Moore, offer immersive escapes into storytelling that pairs well with cozy afternoons. Sharing current reads encourages community engagement and varied recommendations, enriching personal leisure time. By incorporating these makeup, skincare, bodycare, fragrance choices, and inspiring book recommendations, you can fully embrace the seasonal shift while enhancing your daily self-care and entertainment routines.

last year i read 22 books & my goal was 15 but this year i haven't even finished 1 book yet 🥴🥲 1.) reread some favorites ❤️‍🩹 - maybe it's time to give some of the books you first read another try your reading taste may have changed since then! 2.) read something fast paced 🕯️ -
