What are you loving (product recs etc)

What are you loving lately?


I've been meaning to tell you about a book both kids have been enjoying. its called How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?

The book goes through how not to say goodnight (stomping, roars) then how a good dinosaur tucks in his tail and goes to sleep. It's pretty cute.

My other recommendation is for Wikki Sticks. They are yarn covered in wax and they can be bent into shapes. They aren't messy like play doh and the kids can play with them for hours. Win-win!

I love the highlights magazine subscription my IL's got for E. She loves getting the magazine in the mail each month and flipping through it.

I am loving my new Burts Bees lip gloss as well. I don't wear much makeup but the gloss gives me a nice put together look in the morning.

I need some more info on Stitch Fix! We are on a budget lately so I'm not sure it's something I want to spend on if it's too much...they have a cheaper price range right?? Is it a monthly payment and then you also pay for what you keep? Or can I have it come like every 3 months and not pay every month?? I'm not sure H would approve of a monthly thing LOL, nor do I really think I need it that much. Want yes, need no

Agreed. It seems interesting but I looked into it awhile ago and some of it seemed so expensive. cookiesandwine, you'll have to let us know what you think of it!

I love Perversion mascara. It's the best.

I also am loving my coverage FX creme to powder foundation. I put it on with a #36 bursh from Sephora and then blend with a beauty blender.

Also, Alberro wine from Trader Joe's. It's organic, $6.99 for a bottle and it is SO GOOD.

I'm addicted to Skinny Pop with a little popcorn salt. I could probably buy an air popper and make it cheaper, but I don't want to!!!

I mentioned in weekend PIP, but my Tula. I'm seriously kicking myself for not buying one sooner.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

Do I get extra points for PIP?

This facial cleanser, Burt's Bees orange essence:

I tried something new because I'm cheap and this seemed kind of expensive, but when I'm out, I'm never going back to anything else.

This surface cleaner spray. Use it on my counters and high chair tray and table. Smells great and safe for food surfaces without rinsing.



summergirl1211, cbear there's another service I just read about, but I can't remember the name off the top of my head. The girl who write the Bower Power blog (just google bower power, it will pop up) wrote a post about it in the last week or so. It's kind of like Netflix for clothes, lol. I think it said it was $49 a month. You can pick outfits or they choose and mail them to you. You can wear it and mail back, or if you love it you can keep it and they'll charge you for it. When they get one outfit back, they send another one. Is stitch fix the same?

[cookiesandwine]

The stitch fix has lots of options!! You can pick your price category too. I did the cheaper the better for tops and $50-100 for pants and dresses.
They have different frequencies too. I just did one time. They have monthly, every other month, and quarterly I think.

[cookiesandwine]

Oh and the sign up goes all the way through the questionnaire before asking for your cc info too. They even give you a few outfit styles to rate love/like/dislike/hate.

This is my referral link if you want to sign up ☺️ www.stitchfix.com/referral/5832438

Thanks cookiesandwine!

there are actually a bunch of books in the How Do Dinosaurs series...Like how to Dinosaurs say I love you etc. Henry loves all the ones we have found so far.

Ice cream. The only thing I'm loving right now is ice cream.

[pinkluna]

The Lara Bars in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor. I feel like I'm eating a candy bar without the guilt and it satisfies the afternoon munchies.

Also recently got a sample of the Aveda Stress Fix body lotion. Love the lavender smell and it moisturizes really well. I'm gonna need a huge bottle for my desk!

I didn't know there were more! My mom found the goodnight one for the kids. Now I'll have to get some of the others!

[bliz1712]

Oh you reminded me of another..... raw cookie dough from Papa Murphy's. I went through 2 tubs on vacation alone in about 3 days. I've never actually cooked their dough, always consumed it raw.

[versed]

So, I'm finally accepting that I'm 35, and my clothing should probably work with my body rather than against it. I invested in some quality Lands End pieces that don't give me a muffin top and are slimming! I wish I had tried their clothes sooner.

They have some in board books too. We have the board books and several of the paperbacks. I have an addiction to buying books for the girls through their school book orders.

I desperately need a wardrobe makeover. I'm tired of buying cheap Old Navy stuff that doesn't last. I just don't even know where to begin.

Gap has nice affordable pieces that hold up much better thanOld Navy. Banana Republic, Nordstrom Rack & White House Black Market are all good places to look too. Do you have an outlet mall near you?

I'm loving my neutrogenia visibly even bb cream. It's tinted and covers without being oily and it is enough coverage that I didn't have to wear foundation this summer. It also has spf 30 to keep me looking young. I'll probably wear foundation at work but it had been nice this summer.

I also second the burrs bees lip gloss. They come in different colors and help me feel put together on days with no sleep.

[justbeth]

I am loving the cotton candy grapes. Have yall tried these??? Where have they been hiding these magical grapes my entire life? They are delicious and I usually hate grapes. They taste so much like cotton candy, and I was in total denial that it was possible when a friend recommended them.
