my fave water bottle

owala water bottle

until you’ve used an owala, you can’t understand the hype. what i love about this bottle is that it has both a straw and a spout, the handle is easy to hold, the colors are so fun and it’s just a great water bottle!!

my new flatware

sabre ivory 20-piece flatware set

i have been yearning for this flatware for ages now, and i finally got them and it feels so grownup. they are just so gorgeous and elevate every meal so much.

cutest socks

ruffled gingham socks

just love them!

prettiest tablecloth

gardenia ruffle border tablecloth

this tablecloth was in my cart forever and i finally went for it when it was on sale a few months ago. it’s SO SO beautiful and i always get compliments on it.

arlo’s stop motion kit

stop motion kit

arlo got into stop motion at camp and this kit has been so fun for him to create little lego videos all by himself!

my fave sunglasses

moonglade round sunglasses

i wear these every single day lately. they’re my absolute fave.

my fave dry shampoo

amika perk up dry shampoo

i have never truly liked a dry shampoo until this one! it doesn’t have that dry shampoo scent where people know your hair is secretly dirty, and it revives my greasy hair so much it feels like i can go weeks without washing!

prettiest cord box

rattan cable organizer

we have power strips everywhere, so these have saved my eyeballs.

my portable lamps

cordless mini lamps (set of 2)

i love that these add light and ambience to any empty little corner or nook without an ugly cord, but also when we lost power recently i was so happy to have them around the house for light.

folding chairs

cane folding dining chairs (set of 2)

we’ve had such limited dining space for years, but i had no idea that folding chairs could look basically like real chairs!! this was a life changing purchase.

arlo’s lunchbox

omiebox bento box

hands down the best lunchbox we’ve ever had for arlo. we’ve been through so many! the size is great for him, nothing spills or leaks, the thermos insert is so convenient, just no complaints. we did have a hinge piece break but they immediately sent us a replacement part, i’m very happy with it!

my fave lipstick

bisou balm

my girlfriend introduced me to this bisou balm and i looove it. the colors are sheer and buildable, and look like what your perfect natural lip color would be!

my jean jacket

weston denim boyfriend jacket

i haven’t had a boxy jean jacket in years but i looove having one now. it’s comfy enough to travel in and i feel like it looks cute with every outfit.

tinted spf

mineral tinted crème

the best tinted sunscreen! i love the smooth texture and the light coverage it provides, i’ve gone many days without wearing makeup because of it! it also has zero pore clogging ingredients 🙂

stitch gun

micro needle sewing gun

i didn’t realize how much i’d use this until i owned one! i’ve used it to hem and pinch pleat our curtains, as well as adjust clothing – i swear it comes in handy so much once you play around with it!

diaper rash spray

boogie wipes diaper rash spray

to not have to rub your finger on any holes is seriously life changing haha!!

my daily perfume right now

l’eau sézane

i’m so picky with scents and wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, but i really like it! is it THE ONE? i’m not sure about that but i’ve worn it pretty much daily since i got it so that’s a good sign!

my bucket bag

farrow mini bag

i also love this sezane purse – i have a micro which is much smaller, this mini size is a great everyday bag because i can still fit a bunch of crap in it. i feel so fancy wearing it!

nasal spray

antiviral nasal spray and immunity boost

this stuff is seriously a miracle – i spray it every time i feel like i’m getting a cold and it always seems to help! i’ve barely gotten sick since i started using it. (the more it stings the more we think it’s working!)

kids snack bowls

stacking pinch bowls (set of 6)

the perfect snack bowls for the kids – cute colors and just exactly the right size for chips or nuts or apples, i was stoked to find these.

my new fave bathing suit

tie one-piece swimsuit

i’ve worn this suit a dozen times in the last few weeks and it’s just my favorite now. the top is so flattering and not too revealing, the suit itself doesn’t ride up my butt too much like other suits. a lot of times i end up removing the pads because they look weird, but on this suit they are just right.

my fave candle forever

aloe + bergamot candle

i’ve included this candle other years but i just truly love this scent. i find it SO relaxing and i’ll never stop buying it until they stop making it!

my fave blush

merit flush balm cream blush

i use this on my cheeks and lips – it’s so versatile (like all merit!) and the colors are all so pretty.

life changing foot lotion

bare august foot butter

i have the driest cracked heels and using this stuff has improved them SO MUCH that sometimes they don’t even offer me callus removal at a pedicure.

electric nasal aspirator

noze bot

when gid bought this i thought it was such a waste of money, little did i know how much we’d come to rely on it!! we use this many times per day when izzy is sick and it has helped so much getting her nose clear. also it broke once and they happily replaced it for us!!!!

jeans that feel like pjs

the colette cropped high rise wide leg jeans

they have so many styles of the colette pants i’m guessing because they are so comfy and so flattering! i have the denim but i want more styles.

our pretty vent cover

air vent cover

i wasn’t sure what a difference these vent covers would make until we replaced our old ugly dingy ones in the living room and WOW! it’s like night and day. easy to install, i’m so happy we swapped!

an amazing moisturizer

la roche-posay lipikar moisturizing cream

i have struggled for many many years with dyshidrotic eczema (it seems to be super uncommon and took me years to even get diagnosed), i discovered this specific cream on a subreddit and it’s been life changing for me. most lotions cause worse breakouts but this hand cream has just been perfect. if you are lucky enough to just have dry skin, i highly recommend!!

the kids hair detangler

sun bum curls detangler

we use this on both kids hair and love it – it has totally tamed arlos tangles (we don’t brush his hair ever really) and has also helped enhance his curls.

arlo’s bank

electronic money bank

arlo just loves this bank so much i couldn’t not include it. he loves that it has a code and a little safe style wheel to open.

our new kitchen rail

brookside rail system

i found the area above my stove to be so boring and bare and idk what took me so long to put up a rail system. my future kitchen will have an even bigger one!!

our new kitchen curtains

striped cafe curtains

another dramatic change to my kitchen was adding cafe curtains!! it drastically improved our lack of view while adding charm to the kitchen and i sort of now think all bare windows need them? (here are the rods i used and the clips)

my first ipad

ipad mini

i’ve actually never bought an ipad before this year, we’ve inherited them from other people or company gifts, i debated which one to get for a while but ultimately chose the new mini because i have small hands and i could fit it in my purse.

i love it and use it more than i expected, i also got a keyboard case and an apple pencil pro which was so worth getting the pro for me because i can charge it by just sticking it onto the ipad directly!
