15 Things I’m Loving Lately
For me, for the kids, for our home, and art and play items that we use on repeat
Happy Saturday and Shana Tova to those who celebrate. Here’s a quick roundup of everything we’ve been loving lately at my house.
These t shirts from Amazon shocked me with their good quality, and quickly jumped ahead in my weekly rotation. The solid blue t, the striped t, the white t, the cream t. They are all great for fall layering or on their own.
I also scooped up this striped sweater, henley, and sweatshirt from Abercrombie. I bought this beautiful big scarf for a friend for her fiftieth birthday, and now I want one for myself. I’m scouring the internet for a good dupe. Will report back.
I try to keep my dopamine seeking, clothing-buying brain in control with clothing rental subscriptions. I’ve jumped around from RTR to Nuuly and back through the years, but for the past 6 months I’ve been on a big Nuuly kick. I like their everyday, relaxed pieces that fit my lifestyle (I barely leave the house except for track meets, dinners out, errands, and occasional work travel.) If you want to try Nuuly, this is my referall link.
My grey hair is coming in faster than I can keep up with getting to the salon. On IG, everyone suggested Color Wow, which I love and use, but I touch my hair a lot and it comes off under my nails. I was looking for something that wouldn’t smudge. I bought this new product from Tarte, and I love it. It goes on like a cream but dries like a powder.
Dime beauty sent me a PR package and I’ve been using the dewy mask almost nightly. I wake up with super hydrated skin.
For my house
I just ordered these mugs because they immediately spoke to me. But now I need to clear out some old ones…
I have been keeping this acrylic bread box on my counter top for a few years now, and it was time for an upgrade. I jut ordered this cake dome. It is sturdy and the top is acrylic instead of glass, so its not heavy. I love how it looks on the counter.
Our old stick vacuum finally kicked the bucket…I vacuum a lot. Between the hair from two big dogs, the sand from living at the beach, the crumbs and the art projects, I vacuum the first floor twice daily. It’s been about a month and I love this vacuum because it doesn’t clog, it is easily mountable, and the light is so bright that I can really see what I am vacuuming up and its so satisfying.
Ruby made hundreds of little paper stars and they are so bright and joyful, I needed a way to display them. I put them in this bubble, which is also perfect for displaying lego people, little cars or small animals, squishies, or sea glass.
I surprised my middle schooler with this cute case for her chrome book and she loved it. I also snuck a needoh in there and that really made her grin.
My girls have been asking for Lola blankets. I have one that I bought during the big sale, and they are constantly trying to steal it. I bought them these ones instead. Are they an exact dupe? No. But they do love them.
Art and Play Items on Repeat
This foamy air dry clay kit is even better than I expected it to be. The compartments seal shut so there’s no more wasted crumbly dry clay or dealing with those tiny plastic bags. I bought the small kit, but I’m definetly going back in for the extra large one. My kids were all over this and so was I.
Last week we made these mini sprinkle embroidery cakes. It was harder than I anticipated but the kids just had fun decorating. My older one got the hang of it quickly.
This trampoline is still seeing a ton of action in my kitchen, with everyone passing through bouncing on it. And these connectors are still holding the top spot on our coffee table.
Thank you so much for reading my work and being a part of this community. Here is a free seven day trial if you are considering upgrading, but want to make sure it’s a good fit for you.
