Happy Mother’s Day weekend! Few roles in life bring as much joy and meaning as motherhood, and I hope you’re finding time to celebrate the women who’ve nurtured, guided, and inspired you. For me, being a mom is one of my greatest blessings, and while May has been a whirlwind of semester-end responsibilities, I carved out space to share something that always brings me balance and delight: beauty.
This season, I’ve been reaching for a carefully edited mix of lip products—shades that feel both fresh and timeless, paired with a few skincare and style staples that keep my routine grounded. I also had the chance to demonstrate one of my favorite beauty devices, the ZIIP Halo, which I use to naturally enhance lip volume while maintaining a soft, healthy look.
Below, you’ll find my spring favorites in lip color, a few standout accessories, and notes on style that carry me through busy days with ease.

My vanity has been awash with pinks, neutrals, and glossy finishes that are easy to layer and impossible to resist. Here are the standouts currently in rotation:

Beyond Lips: A Few Extra Gems
Because no beauty routine exists in isolation, a few other standouts have seamlessly woven into my spring ritual:
- Fara Homidi Foundation in Suede – Lightweight coverage with a natural finish.
- Make Beauty Eyeshadow in Glaze – A soft, reflective wash of color.
- Make Beauty Liquid Liner in Space Camp – Precision and drama in one swipe.
- Sisley-Paris Phyto Touche Bronzer – A sun-kissed glow in seconds.
- Sweed Lucky Blush – A flattering pop of warmth.
- Koh Gen Do Illuminator – Radiance in liquid form.
Together, these products create a cohesive, glowing look that transitions effortlessly from day to evening.
Style Notes: Comfort Meets Everyday Luxury
A beauty ritual feels even better when paired with clothing that supports movement, confidence, and ease. My current go-tos:
- Happiness Runs Tank (M/L) – I own this ribbed tank in at least ten colors. Comfortable, supportive enough to skip a bra, and perfect in a vibrant green.
- Rag & Bone Loose Jeans (size 27) – Ultra-soft denim with just the right drape. I sized up for a relaxed, lived-in feel, but they’re destined to become classics.
- New Balance Trainers – Lightweight, endlessly comfortable, and now a weekly staple. They’ve impressed me so much I’m considering donating all my Nikes—yes, it’s that serious.
Looking Ahead
As I reflect on this season and all it’s brought—Mother’s Day, the close of another semester, and the ever-changing rhythm of daily life—I’m reminded how beauty can be both grounding and joyful. These products, from the most luxe lipsticks to everyday jeans, are less about indulgence and more about balance: finding small rituals that restore energy and celebrate self-expression.
Stay tuned for more, including a warm weather foundation deep dive and a roundup of travel beauty essentials for the months ahead. And if you missed it, my three-month review of the LYMA Laser is now live on YouTube—it’s safe to say my results have exceeded expectations.
Bottom Line
This spring has been a celebration of color, comfort, and care. Whether you’re drawn to a bold lip, a glossy neutral, or the perfect pair of jeans, I hope you find something that inspires you in this lineup. I’d love to know—which product (or shade) catches your eye most?
Until next time: stay strong, seek wisdom, and savor the joy in small, beautiful moments.
