Rounding up my favorite new items (and a few product refills) from Amazon this month…
May Top 3 Best-Sellers
- Acrylic Bird Feeder: Top seller, by far! I LOVE how much YOU ALL have loved this bird feeder!!! If you’ve installed yours but haven’t seen any activity yet, give it time! It takes a little bit for the birds to feel comfortable coming to visit. But once they do they will tell all their friends! We have red bird visits several times a day right outside our kitchen window and it makes me so happy. This is the bird seed we use.
- Fun Amazon Dress: I love this dress so much!! It is fun, lightweight, has pockets, adjustable straps, and is available in TONS of other prints too. It’s technically a midi dress, but the perfect maxi dress length for my short friends! It is not lined, but the material is thick enough that it isn’t see-through. And it’s under $20!! I am going to be wearing this all spring and summer long!
- Lash Princess Mascara: This mascara is under $5 and is truly amazing (more than 363K reviews!!!!). I have repurchased this numerous times since discovering in 2022! I’ve tried the purple tube (curl and volume) too and love it just as much. The purple tube provides an insane amount of volume and can get clumpy if you aren’t careful, and I use the green tube for my everyday mascara.
Mini Pill Case + Crossbody Purse
An item I always carry in my Crossbody Purse , this mini case is the perfect travel size for storing my digestive enzymes, B12, a few hair elastics, etc.
Baggy Stand
The ridiculous but extremely useful kitchen tool that has saved me many times from spilling marinades all over my counter top. The arms are flexible so I also use this to hold my bag around my cheese grater when I’m shredding my cheese!
Diva Laundry Detergent
I just refilled my stash and reshared this heavenly detergent on IG earlier this week! This is for your towels, sheets, etc. — not your kids’! It’s a highly concentrated soap so a little goes a LONG way, and it lasts forever since you only need a cap full.
Tablecloth
My friend Stephanie and I both have this gorgeous tablecloth and I LOVE how she styled her table for Community Group dinner this month! This tablecloth comes in a bunch of prints (I have 5 of them and love them all). They have held up well, but they do fade if you wash them too many times, so I try to only wash mine when they are dirty! And these are the cordless rechargeable touch lamps we also both have and love. They are perfect for dinner parties outside!
Cocoa Butter Sticks
I’m really bad at using hand lotion, mostly because I hate doing anything with greasy hands. Recently, my friend McKinsey got me hooked on cocoa butter sticks and I love that I can quickly moisturize the tops of my hands and it doesn’t interfere with whatever I’m doing. It’s also great to use on lips or dry patches of skin. It smells good and is super cheap (less than $3/stick).
Pleated Tennis Skirt
I’ve shared this skirt before but it’s from Amazon and looks almost identical to the Lulu version which is double the price. It’s mid-rise, comfortable, has built-in shorts, a zippered back pocket, and comes in a rainbow of colors.
Lash Princess Mascara
This mascara is under $5 and is truly amazing (more than 363K reviews!!!!). I’ve tried the purple tube (curl and volume) too and love it just as much. The purple tube provides an insane amount of volume and can get clumpy if you aren’t careful, and I use the green tube for my everyday mascara.
Portable 3-in-1 Charger
This portable 3-in-1 charger is awesome. I’ve had mine for a year but recently purchased a second one for Matt. I originally purchased mine for traveling since it folds up tiny and combines 3 chargers into one, but I actually use it all the time. I also love to throw it in my laptop bag when I’m getting work done at coffee shops and need to recharge my devices.
Over-the-Door Hat Holder
I bought another set of these for Thomas’s door and love how much more organized his hats are now. This recommendation came from the professional organizer company — they use these in lots of homes they organize and it really is the best. It holds fitted and adjustable hats really well. And you can easily tighten the straps so they don’t move around when you’re opening and closing the door!
Party Tablescape Supplies
All of the items we used to decorate the table for Caroline’s birthday party:
Decorate-Your-Own-Bag Supplies
At Caroline’s 10th birthday party, all the girls decorated their own toiletry bags with their monograms/names/cute patches! THIS WAS SO FUN and I highly recommend it for an activity to do with tween girls! All of the bags turned out adorable and the girls had a blast making them! And it doubled as the cutest party favor.
