ULTA 21 DAYS OF BEAUTY | WEEK 2 SALE PICKS

Week 2 of Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty Sale Event is on! As a quick recap, Ulta is currently hosting a three-week long sale with daily beauty deals. Each day, the sale changes with select items on sale for 50% off of their regular retail. This is always one of my favorite sales because not only is everything 50% off, the items are good. The selection they offer is insane with over 250 different high-end skincare, makeup, haircare + fragrance products. 

The one kicker is that each item is only on sale for one day only so if you want it, you have to scoop it up fast! You can also shop all items online, most items in Ulta stores or even online/in-store pickup. Last week I shared my sale picks for Week 1. Today's post is all about my favorite Week 2 picks. Here are the top deals on my radar!

WEEKLY CRUMBL: CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH PIE

We are back with a little mini Weekly Crumbl review today!! Normally I do reviews on at least four of the weekly flavors, however lately I've been on a healthier eating plan which sadly doesn't include Crumbl. I did make one small exception to try out this week's new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pie because my free birthday reward was expiring! Out of this week's lineup, that was the obvious choice for me! I could make a strong case that the Crumbl pies are superior to the cookies- they are pretty damn good, ya'll. 

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pie is brand new this week and features a brown sugar/graham cracker crust, a brown sugar cream cheese filling, cookie dough pieces, mini chocolate chips and whipped cream. I'm telling you- immediate yes!! I love anything cookie dough and as expected, this one's a total banger. It is delicious!

I don't really know how to describe it other than it tastes exactly how you would expect? I wouldn't necessarily describe the crust or filling by the brown sugar flavor- it's just all yummy goodness. It's sweet but very light. The filling isn't too overpowering or heavy and the ratio of mix-ins is also good. Everything pairs together so well and the texture of the pie is great. I also like the crust which I'm a sticker on- mine was baked perfectly. Not too soft or hard, just right. 

If you love cookie dough/pie, you don't want to miss this one. I have no regrets on breaking my calorie deficit- definitely worth the splurge and worth a rebuy! 

Are you more of a pie or cookie person?

MINI GROCERY HAUL | 2.27.26

This week's grocery run is a small one! I've been repeating most of the same meals lately and have been buying less in general. I also tend to hit up the grocery store more often for the basics like meat + produce. I usually like to share the ones with you that have a bit more variety- it's a tad bit more exciting than just showing you the same ground beef and veggies, haha. 

Really most of today's haul is more rando items + snackies. I saw a TikTok video on making a healthier banana pudding recipe with greek yogurt which was the main purpose of today's shopping. Can't wait to try it out! I always buy the Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla- it's my favorite. For the recipe, you mix greek yogurt with zero sugar CoolWhip, zero sugar pudding mix + then add in bananas/Nilla wafers. 

Raspberries + pineapple are in my current fruit rotation. I've been doing raspberries/blueberries in yogurt + pineapple I just love. A few outliers I actually grabbed on BOGO at Publix are these VeeTee rices and some sriracha mayo! I've only ever had sriracha mayo on sushi which I don't really eat, haha. I like it though! Maybe I'll throw it on some Teriyaki chicken- it was obviously an impulse buy, hah. If you have ideas, let me know! I also finally snagged the PB&J Barebells which I've been wanting to try for a while! I love when they come out with new flavors. This one was pretty good- I enjoyed but not better than the regular PB. That one's my fave!

FEBRUARY BEAUTY HAUL

Needing to restock on a few essentials always calls for a beauty haul! One constant in my skincare routine is always Bioderma Micellar Water. It's the best of the best and always the first step in my regimen. I use it everyday to remove makeup/double-cleanse at night and refresh my skin in the morning. The large bottles are the way to go- they're the best bang for your buck and last for months. I've also been needing some new dermaplane razors and have been curious to try these Kitsch Disposable Razors. I don't really have any preference when it comes to face razors so these looked promising. The reviews are high and the price is low- win win! 

Also from Kitsch are these stretchy hair ties. For years I've used this style and all of mine are wearing out. It felt time for a new vibe and of all places, I found these at the grocery store haha. I was immediately drawn to their soft, stretchy material. I'm always skeptical that the softer hair ties will hold my hair but these state they're for thick, long and curly hair. We will definitely see!! I'll be looking for three loops! 

Just a few more skin things- the Differin Acne Spot Treatment and the Versed Lip Scrub. Both are new to me- I'm excited to try. Also has anyone used the Differin Adapalene Gel? It's suppose to target breakouts while also being anti-aging for fine lines + wrinkles. Would love to know your feedback if so!

FEBRUARY BOOK HAUL

I never pass up the opportunity to buy new books! I took advantage of a recent buy one, get one 50% off sale to snag a few more off of my wishlist. I'm especially excited to add some new classics into my collection. I haven't read any since college and it's something I've wanted to dive into for longtime now. I've been keeping a list of the ones I want to start with and at the very top is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. This one is a beast at over 1300 pages! I've heard it's an incredible, adventurous tale and I can't wait to start. Inspired by the new movie release, I also decided to pick up Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. I read parts of this book back in high school, however thinking back I can't recall much about the story. I also know I'll have a different experience reading it now as an adult. I'm hoping to read it and then go see the movie- it's always interesting to see books come to life on screen. I've already heard the two are completely different which never surprises me, haha. If you've read/watched it, let me know what you thought! 

A new fun romance is a given so I grabbed the second book of the Windy City series, The Right Move by Liz Tomforde. I just finished the first one, Mile High, which was cute. I also saw both Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger and Wolf.e by Paisley Hope recommended on the Tikky which are both a little more spicy and in the dark romance category. I like to have some variety, haha. Sometimes I'm in the mood for dark romance, sometimes I need a little more light. 

The last two in today's haul are The 12-Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington and Women Living Deliciously by Florence Given. I can't wait to dive into The 12 Week Year. I've heard the concept which is essentially breaking your year down by quarters in order to be more productive. I haven't read the book yet, however I've already started utilizing the idea by breaking down my goals into 12-week chunks. I'm excited to read more in depth about the concept and see if I can successfully implement it into my life. Women Living Deliciously was kind of a wildcard pick for me. I also found this one on TikTok in someone's "books that have changed my life" video. She sold me on it so we'll see- I'm not sure that I normally would have purchased this. Despite that, I absolutely love the cover and design. The book is absolutely beautiful and bright- she's a stunner for sure!

BLISSY SILK HAIR BONNET UNBOXING + FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Okay I never thought I'd find myself purchasing a silk hair bonnet but here we are, haha. Sleeping on silk has a lot of great benefits when it comes to your skin + hair. The highlights for me have always been fewer wrinkles, less hair frizz/breakage and a cool, luxurious feel. My thoughts have always been that if you can can receive those benefits with a pillowcase, what's the point of the added restriction and jump scare of a bonnet?? 

As you can see, there has been a concession because I'm now a new owner and (for now) ex-bonnet-hater. I ultimately decided to try one for two main reasons - the first, to better protect my hair from breakage and see whether I can maintain hairstyles longer to lower my heat usage. Regardless of pillowcase type, my hair usually ends up a bit more disheveled the next day so I'm curious to see if using the bonnet will make a difference. The second reason is for my skin. I'm still dealing with some mysterious breakouts/dermatitis around my mouth and jawline. I can't pinpoint what the root cause is so I'm constantly just doing trial and error. I've wondered whether there could be any correlation from my hair touching my skin at nighttime so we're going to find out!

I'm excited to try it out and see any positive impact or changes there. I did a lot of research on different types of bonnets before purchasing the Blissy. You most commonly find either silk or satin, polyester options. If price isn't a consideration, I think silk is the way to go. Natural fibers are always a better option over synthetic, however you can find some much more affordable options here that I'm sure provide some of the same benefits. 

I ultimately chose the Blissy bonnet because they use 100% Mulberry Silk and had amazing reviews on quality and fit. As expected, the material is very soft and luxurious. It also is much bigger in size than it looks online. Definitely a plus if you have a lot of hair! The stretchy, elastic band is also great to help customize the fit. They also offer a wide color selection- I chose the color "Matcha" which is absolutely beautiful. It's a gorgeous cool-toned, pale jade shade. I love so much! I'm also impressed with the packaging- the box + tissue were a nice elevated touch.  

Have you ever used a bonnet - what are your thoughts?
