<p><span class="shadereview">Recent Purchases/Rediscoveries</span>: I don&#8217;t think I made any purchases this week. There&#8217;s been so much going on personally that I have had to take a bit of a step back professionally to manage everything (more on a mental level).</p>
<p><span class="shadereview">Weekend plans</span>: I hope to see my parents this weekend for sure, either for lunch or when I bring Winston over to swim in their pool. I&#8217;m also hoping to relax a little and try to reassess what I need to get back on track mentally and dive back into things I wasn&#8217;t able to get done this week.</p>
<p><span class="shadereview">Do you have any plans for May?</span> Work, work, and work. That&#8217;s what we do around these parts, lol! It&#8217;ll be too hot outdoors soon enough to do much other than stay inside. I think we&#8217;re going to split Mother&#8217;s Day and see hubby&#8217;s mom for brunch and my mom for dinner.</p>
<p>P.S. &#8212; Want to chat with readers on the regular? Check out <a href="https://discord.gg/PY48Mtq"  target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" >Temptalia&#8217;s Discord</a> where you can chat about beauty, makeup, and more! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>P.P.S. &#8212; Check our hubby&#8217;s new site for <strong><a href="https://tryhardguides.com/" rel="dofollow">video gaming guides</a></strong> &#8212; good if you (or someone you know or your kids!) is into gaming, including <a href="https://tryhardguides.com/tag/answer-guide/">crosswords</a> and <a href="https://tryhardguides.com/tag/wordle/">Wordle</a>. Plus, I worked with hubby to develop our own games, <strong><a href="https://tryhardguides.com/concludle.com/">Concludle</a></strong> and <a href="https://tryhardguides.com/adoptle/">Adoptle</a>.</p>
