Weekend News – Volume 1

April 4, 2026

Happy first week of the month! And what a productive week it was! I’m trying to do ALL the things these days and that includes more frequent blog posts. You know, the old school way of communicating with you and writing because it’s one of my favorite things to do. Thank you for being here and reading my posts!!

I have a last minute trip next week for an exciting project so I tried to get as much done as I could this week to feel better about being away. Then when I get back in town I will need to hit the ground running to get through a TON of work before my big trip to France at the end of the month. Sounds a little crazy, but I “think” I have it all under control.

A smiling woman with long brown hair stands indoors, holding necklaces. She wears a sleeveless white top and a smartwatch. Bold red text beside her reads, “Weekly News, Sales and Finds.”.

*Please note, my post contains some affiliate links. If you use my links to make a purchase I may earn a small commission. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and I really appreciate your support!

As you know, I’m a bit of a shopaholic and this week didn’t disappoint! I scored this dress and this top with matching pants from Spanx at incredible prices. I may need to order them in additional colors. I also got the cutest jelly slides for spring and summer. I was boycotting the whole jelly shoes comeback but am so glad I decided to give these a try. So cute!

I’ve still been loving my blow dryer brush so much for salon like blowouts right in the comfort of my own home. I mention this because they currently have a sale for 30% off their hair tools right now.

Another thing I bought this week was this little gadget for listening to movies when on the plane while still using my air pods or wireless headphones with the tv device. Great invention that not many people know about.

I’ve mentioned before that you can join me in affiliate marketing if you have a little bit of a following on social media or a place to promote your links. This is my referral link which helps you get approved faster. I love using this platform more than others. Let me know if you have any questions. Always happy to help!

As a reminder, if you ever want to say hi, have anything exciting to share or something you just want to talk about, send me an email to stacie@makeupobsessedmom.com and let me know what’s going on.

Next, I’m sharing some of my favorite things for the week with you and will tell you a bit about each one.

A hand with light skin wears a large gold ring and two gold bracelets featuring the Gucci logo, posed above a carpeted floor and near beige furniture. The person has neatly manicured nails and a white ruffled sleeve.

I’m LOVING my new neutral bracelet stack and ring!

This is a great neutral bracelet stack with a bold statement ring. Top bangle has white jade accents and bottom bangle has white enamel. Both are available in additional color options. I’ve been getting a ton of compliments on this simple stack.

A hand holding a bottle of EltaMD Skincare UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 sunscreen in a bright room, with a blurred background. The label highlights benefits for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

I’ve used this sunscreen brand for about 15 years.

I’ve been an advocate for sun protection for many years (my mother died from melanoma in 2012). We can’t control everything about our health, but we sure as heck can try to prevent skin cancers just by wearing spf every day. This is one of my favorite spf’s for the face. I highly recommend it.

A woman with long brown hair, wearing a white blouse and blue jeans, smiles while holding a large cardboard box labeled "Wantable" in a modern, light-colored room.

I love my surprise clothing boxes!

I received 9 items of Spring and Summer clothing in my recent Wantable box that I loved! Wantable is a styling service where you take a quiz and share your style preferences and your own personal stylist (not ai) puts together a box just for you. You try the items on in the comfort of your own home. Keep what you want and send back the rest in a prepaid shipping bag. No obligations. It’s a great way to discover new clothing and accessories. They have different types of edits, from everyday outfits, to travel edit, sleepwear edits and more.  Get $25 off when you use my link.

A smiling woman with long brown hair holds up two gold necklaces with round pendants. She wears a sleeveless white top, a smart watch, and a ring, standing indoors with a blurred background.

I love a pretty charm necklace

Last share for this week is these two charm type necklaces for probably over a year now and they both still look fantastic. One has a mix of evil eye themed charms and the other is a hearts theme. They’re both fun to pair with other gold jewelry I own.

Seriously though, I don’t like to spend too much time on a routine. This hair tool has been the most fun purchase for my haircare tools arsenal.

Comment for the LINK along with the products I used to color my roots this week, my shampoo and conditioner as well as my secret anti-frizz product.😉

These necklaces and bracelet are all from mint&lily. They’re waterproof, which makes me happy so I don’t have to worry about wearing them in the shower.

They have a huge selection of everyday pieces that can also be personalized and they make the best gifts!

At 61 years old, I’ve never been able to consisten At 61 years old, I’ve never been able to consistently use a retinol product until now because I couldn’t handle the dry, irritated skin that I experienced when using them. #OlayPartner

@olay has this new Retinol 24 Starter that’s intentionally made for beginners and/or people with sensitive skin like me. I’m now able to get the “gold standard” benefits recommended by dermatologists with this gentler formula to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, fade dark spots and improve texture.

It’s formulated with Pro-Retinol, Triple Collagen Peptide and Aloe Vera to reveal the smoother, brighter skin that’s been unreachable until now.

And if you’re a long-time user of retinol products, they have several stronger formulas that you can check out too.

New users and those of us with sensitive skin can conveniently purchase this gentler formula at our favorite retailers or online. Give it a try. I think you’ll be as impressed as I am.

Tell me in the comments the number one goal you want to achieve for your skin.

GRWM with clean beauty products — because looking GRWM with clean beauty products — because looking your best at any age isn’t about looking younger. It’s about looking like the best version of you.

At 61, I’m all about makeup that enhances my features, works well with mature skin, and still lets me look like me. I don’t want to hide behind my makeup, and I don’t think any of us need to. With the right products and techniques, makeup can simply bring out what’s already there.

I used all clean beauty makeup products to create a fresh, natural, polished look that feels good without feeling overdone.

If you’re a woman over 50—or 40, 60, or 70—and you’re looking for clean beauty, natural makeup for mature skin, makeup tips for mature skin, anti-aging makeup techniques, or natural-looking makeup that enhances instead of covers, this one is for you. ✨

Beauty doesn’t have an expiration date. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident.💕

Save this GRWM for your next makeup day and tell me: do you prefer a natural makeup look or something a little more glam?

As a 61 year old woman who gets to try so many new As a 61 year old woman who gets to try so many new beauty and skincare products, these are some of my favorites over the last few weeks of the summer that I would repurchase again and only 1 fail.

As a matter of fact, I already repurchased the vitamins and prebiotics and probiotics supplement. I didn’t know Kourtney Kardashian was the owner of that brand. I only had 1 fail this time which was the terrible tasting creatine gummies. I don’t like stevia, but if you do then you may like with them. 

Thanks for being here! Don’t forget to like, comment, *repost, save and/or share this post to help my content get seen by a wider community. I appreciate your support so much and you never know who else might be looking for the very thing I’m sharing today. And don’t forget to let me know if you want the LINKS!
