My current favorites including how I do my gel nails at home, my new favorite book, and how I stay focused during a long day.
And just like that, another month comes to an end. Tomorrow is my birth month and I have so many emotions about it. I will be entering my late 20s, which is so crazy to think! Anyway, at the end of each month, I love to share what my current favorites are. I didn’t try too many new things out but the things I did try are my new favorites!
February 2022 Current Favorites
Beetles Gel Nail Polish Kit
To be honest, I have never tried gel nail polish until I got this kit. I knew it stays on longer than regular polish so I wanted to try it out. I saw this Beetles gel nail polish kit go viral on TikTok so I had to try it. The kit comes with everything you need to do your gel nails (refer to photo above) but it doesn’t come with acetone (necessary for removal). The first time was a little rough but by the second time, I was getting the hang of it. A tip is to use thin coats! Overall, I love it and I recommend it if you want to start doing your own gel nails at home.
Adidas All Black Hat
I know hats are a big trend right now, specifically baseball/dad hats. I got this Adidas all-black hat because I wanted something that can go with any outfit. Amazon has this one in a bunch of other colors. It’s adjustable and hand-washable. It’s the perfect basic essential hat and perfect for hair wash days (ladies you know what I mean).

Lemon & Peppermint Essential Oils

Okay, I read somewhere that peppermint and lemon essential oils help with focus and concentration so of course I had to try. I’ve been trying both of them the whole month of February and I’m not sure if it’s helping with focus but I really do love the smell. I’m really sensitive to smells but these two together are amazing! The scent is strong and kind of wakes you up every time you take a deep breath. You can find a ton of essential oils at Marshalls so it’s worth giving it a try!
Maybelline Lip Lifter Gloss
I talked about this in my TikTok made me buy it post and I haven’t stopped using it since I got it. I love that it doesn’t feel like a gloss, it’s more of a moisturizing oil. It smells like vanilla and coconut but it’s not overpowering. I love the big applicator and the fact that it has hyaluronic acid in it. The color I wear is Ice, basically a clear gloss but they have a ton of colors to choose from.
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
This book was probably the most talked about book I have ever heard about in a long time. So the expectations were high, but they were immediately met when I started reading it. This was the second Colleen Hoover book I’ve read and once again it was amazing.
It Ends With Us is about how Lily Bloom moves away from her hometown and starts her own business in Boston. She meets a hot neurosurgeon, Ryle, and everything in her life couldn’t be better. Lily can’t shake the feeling as to why Ryle never had a relationship before her. She also can’t stop thinking about her past and her first love Atlas, a boy from her hometown. When Atlas reappears in Lily’s life she is more confused than ever.
It was such a raw and honest story about what some couples go through. I cried, I laughed, I was a rollercoaster of emotions. Definitely a 10/10 for me. I want to buy more Colleen Hoover, so if you have any recommendations let me know in the comments!
Ozark (Netflix)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hAXVqrljbs&ab_channel=Netflix
I’m only on season two so please no spoilers!! I wanted a new show to watch and my brother recommended this one. So far it’s good, very binge-worthy. It’s about how a dad who gets involved with some very powerful people and when things go south, he and his family have to pack up their life and move to the Ozarks. There, he has to keep working for this person, the family gets involved in all the mess and things escalate from there. It’s an interesting show and now I understand why it’s always trending on Netflix.
