5 Things I’ve Been Loving This Week (My Go-To Essentials)

I didn’t plan for this to become my everyday essentials… but here we are. Five things I reach for every single day this week. 

This week?

It’s the little things. Skincare, everyday essentials, and those items that just make life easier without trying too hard.

Let’s get into it.

1. My Sunglasses (Everyday, No Excuses)

I don’t think I’ve stepped outside once this week without my sunglasses.

It’s been properly sunny, and these Ray-Ban haven’t left my face. 

At this point, they’re not even an accessory…

they’re part of the routine.

2. SPF 50+ (Yes… You Still Need It)

Let’s just say it clearly:

You need sunscreen.

Yes,even if you have melanin.

Especially if you’re trying to fix dark spots.

But protecting your skin is still important.

I’ve been using this CeraVe SPF 50+ all week, and it’s been an easy reach every morning.

No stress. No excuses.

3. Tampax (Because Real Life Is Real Life 😄)

Okay, let’s not pretend.

It’s that time of the month 😭😭😭.

And one thing about me?

I refuse to be caught unprepared.

There is always Tampax Pearl in my bag or car. Always.

Also… if you ever see me eating like life is about to end?

Just know what time it is 😂

4. Sticky Dates Lip Scrub (Small Lippy, Big Difference)

I love small things that make you feel put together without doing too much.

This Sticky Dates lip scrub from Lush?

Soft lips. Smooth finish. The kind of difference you don’t notice…. until you taste it 😜

One of those little extras that actually makes a difference.

5. My Lip Balm (Convenience Over Everything)

There’s nothing fancy about this lip balm.

But the fact that I can clip it onto my bag?

Yeah… that’s what sold me.

I don’t carry big bags (I refuse 😭), so anything that saves me from digging around is a win.

Bonus: My Glow Booster Mask 

I had to add this because… it deserves a moment.

I started using my glow/brightening mask this week and got a compliment the first day.

Since then?

I’ve been consistent, and I can actually see the difference.

A real quick fix.

Final Thoughts

Nothing fancy.

Nothing over the top.

Just things that are working for me in real life and making my week feel a bit easier.

And honestly? That’s enough.

Now tell me…

What have you been loving this week?

What’s been your go-to lately?

Let me know, I’m always looking for new things to try 

With love,

Ayo
