Shades of blue are creeping into spring fashion, and I love that! How fabulous is this new blue nail polish from Chanel’s spring 2026 Denim Collection? Love! Stay tuned, review with swatch coming up on the blog soon!

I am loving all of the spring colors. Shades of pink, blue, green, and white along with pops of yellow are hotter than hot this spring season. This will infuse some cheer into our neutral wardrobes. Love that!

In addition to nail polish and color trends, the anonymous handbag, pearl jewelry, shirt dresses, and classic style is hot this spring season. Stay tuned for spring coverage coming soon!

San Jose Museum of Art and brunch

Have you visited the San Jose Museum of Art? It’s a small museum located in the heart of downtown San Jose. If you haven’t visited it yet, it’s an easy, roughly one hour visit you can fit into the day with another activity or a delicious meal.

We combined our visit to the museum with a yummy brunch at Whispers Cafe & Creperie located at 150 S Second Street in downtown San Jose. It’s a short walk to the museum and offers the best crepes in the area.

I enjoyed the Tetrazzini Crepe which is pictured above. It combines chicken, mozzarella, onions, olives, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes with pesto on top. It was absolutely delicious! Definitely my favorite menu item!

After brunch, we walked over to the San Jose Museum of Art and enjoyed the permanent collection as well as the visiting collections.

It was relaxing to enjoy local and global artwork in downtown San Jose. The visiting collections switch over every few months. There will be new art next month! It will be fun to go back when the new visiting collections are on display.

Pro tip: park in one of the city parking lots, not a hotel. Although the hotels are closer, the city lots are much less expensive.

Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask review

I have been on the hunt for a good pore cleansing mask for quite some time, but it has been hard to find one that not only works but doesn’t dry out my skin or cause other problems. Thankfully, I found Beauty of Joseon!

This is a really easy to use, traditional mask. After you wash your face, dry your face and then apply the mask. You leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off. Voila! Clean pores! Plus, my skin felt really good after using it. No dry skin or irritation. Love that!

It is really nice to have found a mask which not only leaves my skin feeling better than before using it, but also cleanses my pores as promised. My nose gets a lot of black heads, and this mask cleaned them out! Plus, my skin felt soft afterwards. Love! I am addicted to this mask! I will use it about once a week to keep my skin squeaky clean.

Want to know the best part? This Red Bean mask by Beauty of Joseon is extremely affordable! It’s way under $50. That might be the best part! It works way better on my skin than many masks priced over $100. So, I am hooked!
