Whoops, I forgot to publish my playlist for MUSIC MONDAY yesterday, but I finally have a minute to put it up.
I want to start off this post with a clip of Ryan Leslie. He's in the studio producing "Maybachs and Diamonds", a single off his new album 'Les Is More'. I'm really glad this song got released, and I can FINALLY put it on my iPod--I've been waiting like 3 years! This track was intended for Rick Ross' album 'Deeper Than Rap', but it never made it I guess. Maybe this song was too sexy for Rick Ross the F*cking Boss...
Was that not just dope as f---?! And I know the words Rick Ross and cute don't really go hand in hand, but I thought he was soOo cute in this video! He gets real groovy and I loved it. Anyways, back to Mr. Leslie...he's an incredible talent and deserves all the recognition he can get. He sings, raps, plays a multitude of instruments, produces his own music from start to finish...etc...I could go on and on about why he's so fab.
For those of you who don't know, I listened to a lot of R&B growing up so his tunes resonate with me so well. I lose myself in his music and find myself bopping my head to every single one of his tracks. If you don't know much about him, I suggest you get acquainted with him. Wikipedia is typically a comprehensive source for many things, but don't forget to check out his YouTube channel and his official site.
Hope you fall in love with him over and over again!
Now here's my MUSIC MONDAY top 5 playlist - happy listening and have a good week!

I ran out of my holy grail serum, Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair, about a month ago and couldn't bring myself to re-buy it without a few fun bonuses. Von Maur FINALLY launched the newest Estée Lauder gift with purchase and of course, I rushed out to make my purchase. Alas, I feel complete again. My skin has missed you ANR! This offer ends November 11th so go now and snatch up a bonus with your next Estée Lauder purchase. Or at least, get a sample of ANR at the counter and be ready to fall. in. love. In the video, I go into detail of why I love the serum, so don't forget to watch!
RIGHT TO LEFT: DayWear Cream (extra bonus), ANR serum, and BONUS clutch with more products
WEARING: BONUS warm eyeshadow quad & BONUS Tiger Eye Shimmer Lipstick & thrifted brown vintage sweater
ESTEE LAUDER ANR is $55.00 for 1.0oz OR $84.00 for 1.7oz
As stated in the caption directly above, ANR is $55.00 for 1oz OR $84.00 for 1.7oz I bought the 1.0oz but the 1.7oz is cheaper by the ounce. It breaks down to .018oz per dollar for the 1.0oz bottle and .020oz per dollar for the 1.7oz. Not too major of a difference. I may get the larger bottle next time. What is your favorite skin serum?

As you all already may know, I really wanted to change up how I reviewed my GLOSSYBOX subscriptions. I wanted these videos to be more informative for you guys so instead of filming unboxing/first impression type videos, I decided to test out the products for 2-3 weeks instead and film a complete review for each product. In the video, I go through the products I received and how they performed and here on my blog, I will break down the price points of each product and how much this month's box is worth! And as always, thanks for your support!
