My favorite things & products from this week! July 13-19th, 2020

Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Bundle || cocoandeve.com, $47

I have been using this for the last two weeks as a self tanner. I got the “Dark” color which works really well on me even though I am fair. The kabuki brush is great for blending the tanner in tough spots around your feet and hands for a nice finish and I think this is the best tanning glove I have used. It also smells great and has hydrating, anti-aging, and anti-cellulite elements in the formula which these thick thighs appreciate.

Broadchurch on Netflix || netflix.com

Scott and my mom both loved this and I finally watched it with Scott this week. It is SUCH a good show if you are looking for a drama / crime series. Acting is amazing and the way they tell a story is awesome. Be sure to add it to your list!

“The Couple Next Door” by Sheri Lapena || amazon.com, $8

Read this in one sitting and praying that thy make it into a series. Again a great crime drama and a great beach read. You will not want to put it down.

Drive to Survive on Netflix || netflix.com

Okay ladies. I know all of the men in your life are dying for some sports right now. We binged this at the beginning of the quarantine and neither of us came into it as racing fans. Now we wake up early on Sunday mornings to watch the races & are deeply immersed in the drama and politics of Formula 1 Racing. This is a great show to give you insight into the glamorous world of F1 racing in an almost Bravo style documentary. This is a great way to get into a sport and fulfill your need for dramatic reality tv shows all at once. Everyone I have talked to about it is obsessed. Please watch so I have more friends to talk F1 with.

Allbirds Tree Runners || Allbirds.com, $95

90% of the time you see me or Scott we are wearing a pair of Allbirds. To be fair, we both own 3 pairs – 1 wool runner, 1 tree runner, and the loungers. My first pair was the dark grey wool runner which are perfect in the fall but in the spring and summer, the Tree Runners are the perfect tennis shoe. The fabric is made of eucalyptus and the company puts a huge focus on sustainability and minimizing their carbon footprint. You will wear all $95 out of these and then some.

Allbirds Wool Loungers || allbirds.com, $95

These are the best casual slip on shoe I own. I wear the crap out of them. Seriously – get a pair of Allbirds. They are clouds for your feet. These are perfect for running errands or (if you have a casual workplace) its a great every day shoe.

Aerie Sandy Fleece Cropped Sweatpant || aerie.com, $29

You’ve seen me rave about these and wear them constantly and now I get to wear them more because I bought them in 3 colors. I personally like them with a looser fit so I bought them in an XL. I have them in the grey, blue, and green now and its all I wear during the week while I work from home.

Magic Spoon Cereal variety pack || magicspoon.com, $40

I have been debating ordering this cereal for a while now. When I saw that is only 2sp a serving on WW I ordered immediately. It’s a quick and easy breakfast or snack for us. We got the variety pack and I love every flavor. It comes with chocolate, fruity, blueberry, and frosted. The other day I mixed frozen raspberries, 0% greek yogurt, & the frosted cereal and it tasted like dessert.

Tropical Bird Earrings || amazon.com, $11

I got SO MANY questions about these earrings. They are such a fun, dramatic summer earring to dress up any outfit. Fair warning – they are a little heavy but if your ears can handle them they are FAB.

Green Floral Skirt || loft.com, $45

Also got lots of questions / compliments on this skirt this week. It is a beautiful green color and created a really classy silhouette.

Every week I will be posting my 10 favorite things – new and old – that I (and you!) have been loving and using a ton that week. I am so excited to share all my favorite finds with you!

Weekly Planner Notepad || Amazon – $15

This note pad is SO GOOD. Sometimes you look at notebooks and think “thats cute but do I need it? Will I really use it?” The answer is yes! Especially during WFH. I keep it on my desk & use it as a mousepad. I plan out my workouts, IG posts, recipes, and keep a running to do list. I often think of things I need to do but forget to write it down but this notepad being right there helps me not to forget. Truly, I feel way more productive with it!

Defense Phone Charging Stand || Amazon – $40

All of us are on Zoom calls now more than ever and using our phones throughout the day. I use this phone charger constantly – whether its to be hands free on a call, prop up my phone on a Zoom call so I can be hands free, or to watch Love Island on Hulu while I get ready for a night out (guilty!). Trust me – this is one purchase I use constantly!

Cactus Blossom Candle || Bath & Body Works – $25

This is one of my mom and my favorite scents of all time. It’s light and bright for summer which I love. It was recently a part of their summer sale but looks like it may have been taken off. I was able to snag a handful in time and I use them for wedding and housewarming gifts (and for myself).

BP. Square Neck Bodysuit || Nordstrom – $6

So if you have seen me this week I have worn this bodysuit almost every day. And no, that is not a typo. This simple square neck bodysuit is on sale for $6 so of course I got it in black and white. It’s super flattering, can be dressed up and down, and has a thong back so it looks great under everything. Here it is in white!

Leith V Neck Bodysuit || Nordstrom – $17

Are you seeing a trend here? I am looking for basics I can wear at home under sweats, for a night out with a pair of jeans and heels, and at work under a blazer or cardigan and a pencil skirt. I am more petite on top so I love a V neck always. I got this in both black and white as well thought it looks like the white has sold out in the meantime.

Cheetah Print Bathing Suit || Amazon – $25

This is my #1 favorite bathing suit I own. It is so flattering, has tummy control, enough coverage in the back, but looks like a gorgeous bodysuit. Every time I wear it people ask where I got it and for me to send it to them. It comes in so many prints (I might order the snakeskin print too!) so there is definitely one you will like in there!

Aerie Sandy Fleece Cropped Sweat Pant || Aerie – $30

Got these in the mail this week in grey and I have literally worn them every day (with that square neck body suit in white!). These are so comfortable I am ordering them in blue and green today too! Last night I even tied them up high-waisted & threw a jean jacket on with them for a cool casual look (which is always my goal). I ordered in an XL for a slouchier fit & so I could make them high-waisted all the time.

Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation || Nordstrom – $46

This foundation is the perfect lightweight foundation. It gives you the most gorgeous natural glow plus it has SPF 35! This is great buy for my make up lovers and people who don’t usually wear a lot of makeup. I set it with powder but you don’t necessarily have to – up to you! My bff bought it last week and sent me a text that said “OMG this foundation!!” so yeah it’s that good.

TULA Protect + Glow Sunscreen Gel || Tula – $36

I know you dont need another influencer telling you to buy this but I will admit I was influenced and I am in love. No sunscreen smell, gives you a nice base glow, and protects from blue light as well. My pores havent gotten clogged and there is no greasy sheen to it. Probably my most favorite face sunscreen to date.

Buxom PowerPlump Lip Balm || Ulta – $18

A little plump & a little color makes for the perfect every day lip. I have the Dolly Fever color which I love. All your favorite beauty bloggers love this!

Gua Sha Stone || Amazon – $12

I know you might be sick of me talking about gua sha and facial massage but honestly I am not going to until you all start. It makes SUCH a difference in my skin from my hormonal acne spots to my skin elasticity to lifting my brows. You can get a fancy stone eventually but if you are just starting, this is a great starter stone. Watch this video to follow the routine that guided me!
