Obsessions 004

The product that changed my skin (my Nonna is obsessed) and everything else I'm loving lately.

Some of my favorite Substacks to write are my Obsessions newsletters. It’s been a moment since we went through everything I am absolutely LOVING.

I couldn’t wait to show my family my latest beauty obsession. I’ve already hinted at how insane (in a good way) this product is, but I thought it was time for a full-blown confession on how much I love the INNBEAUTY PROJECT Extreme Cream. When I tell you I use this product twice, sometimes three times a day and it has completely changed my skin and routine forever, I don’t type that lightly. Long story short, I almost didn’t even try out this cream. I seldom switch up my skincare because of how finicky my skin gets when I try too many products on a regular basis. Ever since I have started using the Extreme Cream, my skin is glowing, plump, even and more firm. I don’t know if I’ve ever said this to you guys, but you need to try it. And I want to know how much you love it after. This cream is giving all of those über-expensive products a run for their money. If you don’t believe me, please see this video of my gorgeous Nonna after I made her try it while I was in Chicago last weekend:

Yeah.. it's that good. My mom, two aunts, and both my sisters are also begging me to send them some bottles.

This is nothing crazy, but ever since I was gifted a subscription to Architectural Digest I’m feeling more inspired than ever. It forces me to look forward to some downtime to flip through each page slowly and take in the most beautiful content out there.

I’ve had the new TTPD playing almost exclusively since the release. In an effort to diversify what I’m listening to, I made a playlist with all of my all-time favs from TS. Here’s the playlist if you’re interested in perusing my favs.

This cardigan is something I just cannot stop reaching for. It’s the perfect shrunken cardigan (Gabriella15).

Another product I’m going coo-coo over is the Kate McLeod body stone. If you’re like me and you neglect your body care sometimes, then you will love this product. It makes me excited to dowse my skin from décolletage to toe. And.. the glow is real!

You know I’ve always loved a silicone phone case, but I recently switched back to them and I’m sad I ever veered away. I am lovin' this yellow guy and this brown one! I think this light powder blue might be next. I like to change them with my mood, vacation, outfit etc.

I hand’t been to Target for a good stroll-every-single-aisle moment in far too long. No wonder I’ve been feeling off! Upon my latest stroll, I found myself in the accessories section trying on every color of these fun bubble sunnies. I got the black and they truly look and feel like a designer pair. I’ve been asked about these everywhere I go!

A reason why I try to hoard everything I own is that I never know when I’m going to reignite a fixation. For probably a decade, my chucks were my go-to shoe (not unique). But, I feel like I stopped wearing them as much in the last year or so. Well- I’m so glad I kept them because they are alive and well. Been obsessed with styling them this spring!

These Amazon notebooks are my latest stationary obsession. Perfect for separating to-do lists, journaling, etc. I love the simplicity of the kraft paper and the paper is very nice quality. They come in a pack of 5!

I’ve never had an eyelash lift, but I just got one with my esthetician, (Wylder Esthetics) and I have to say- I am loving it!! I am the opposite of blessed in the eyelash department. They’re short, stubby, super straight, and almost.. downward? She told me it was not going to be the easiest thing because of all that, but I love the result. Highly recommend if you’re in a similar spot!

Do you care about lip combos? I can’t stop using my OG fav liner topped with this perfect gloss.

Date bark is the best thing to ever happen to me in the dessert department lately. I now crave it at all hours of the day and look forward to my sweet treat nightly. Feels good that it’s something I made for myself too. I usually make a huge batch on Sunday to last the week. You can find recipes all over TikTok!

I think we can all agree that the Rom Com industry really wasn’t doing much for us in the last several years. Nothing was scratching the itch until Anyone But You and The Idea of You came around. If you are a lover of rom coms, or just.. roms (?), please do yourself a favor and watch. Bonus if you watch with your bestie (I wish I did).

Hope you enjoyed this latest round up of Obsessions! Talk soon.

Love, Gabs
