It’s funny how seriously my daughter takes the subject of “favorite colors.” I was the same way — as a child, I was fiercely devoted to blue (just like her!), which was my calling card at home, where anything blue (blue cup, blue backpack, blue notebook, etc) belonged to me versus my other siblings, who pigeon-holed themselves with different colors. So I do get it when my daughter insists that anything pink must belong to me. It’s unintelligible that I would try to use any other color crayon, or wear any other color sticker, “because pink is mommy’s favorite.” Sometimes the symmetry and simplicity of youth is refreshing. I do love pink. Below, a few favorite pretty pink (and associated) finds:
SHRIMPS EARRINGS (ON SALE FOR UNDER $75)
SALAD PLATES — 60% OFF AND SUCHHHH A GOOD DEAL
CHANTECAILLE HIGHLIGHTER — THE CHICEST ACCESSORY
MAKEUP REMOVING TOWELS — LOVE (!!) THESE — THE PERFECT SIZE
FLOCKED MINI TREE — WE HAVE SOMETHING ALMOST IDENTICAL FROM TARGET LAST YEAR
CLEAR TOILETRY BAGS — BOUGHT A SET OF THESE FOR “WRAPPING”/PRESENTING SOME OF THE BEAUTY GIFTS I BOUGHT LOVED ONES…WILL FILL WITH CRINKLE PAPER OR TISSUE PAPER + TUCK THE GOODIES, LIKE WESTMAN ATELIER LIT STICKS, WHICH I BOUGHT FOR A SISTER, INSIDE

BOW NAPKIN RINGS — I HAD THIS EXACT SET ON MY THANKSGIVING TABLE!! THE PRETTIEST COLOR AND PERFECT SIZE…WOULD ASK ETSY SELLER TO MAKE THE TIES LONG, THOUGH, BECAUSE MINE WERE TOO SHORT TO WRAP AROUND NAPKINS…ENDED UP TYING THEM TO GARLAND INSTEAD!
Not seen above, but had to add…

BILLIE SALVE — I ADDED THIS TO MY MONTHLY BILLIE ORDER AND LOVE THE CONSISTENCY AND FLAVOR…I’M NOT CONVINCED IT REALLY MOISTURIZES LIPS FOR THE LONG HAUL, BUT I’VE FOUND THAT TO BE TRUE WITH ALMOST ALL LIP BALMS EXCEPT FOR 8 HOUR CREAM; STILL, FEELS LOVELY TO PUT ON AND A GREAT PRICE FOR A LITTLE SEMI-SHEER COLOR
P.S. If it’s hot pink you’re after…!
P.P.S. What mantras do you repeat to yourself?
P.P.P.S. Love has a long tail.
I’m definitely a pink gal!
It’s just such a pretty part-time color. We all want to be part-time too. Like your grandmother.
Love pink!!!!
Love!!
