Current Favorites 2.21.20
/Here’s a look at everything I’ve bought, added to cart, pinned, or loved in the last couple of weeks. Find a new favorite!
(1) Striped Midi Dress. Just got this yesterday and cannot wait to throw it on with sneakers and a jean jacket for a comfy, easy outfit. Material doesn’t wrinkle much; it would be great for travel!
(2) What Should Danny Do Got this book for Deacon for Valentine’s Day after hearing about it from a teacher friend. It’s a choose your own adventure story that teaches the importance of making good choices. If the character makes a poor choice, the child can see how it plays out for him throughout the day. Deacon is entertained by picking next step and I love the message behind it.
(3) My First Crayola Doodle Board I talked about this on stories a few weeks ago. This toy entertains both my 13 month old and my four year old. Teaches cause and effect to the baby (she touches, it changes color) and we work on some fine motor tracing and pressure skills with Deacon. Lights up and makes sound (but can turn off sound function without turning off the light up feature). Would make a great birthday gift because its not huge and not annoying.
(4) Blue and White Top I wore this the other day on stories (and obviously for all the photos here on TRR) and tons of you told me you ordered it too. If you haven’t snagged one yet, it’s still on sale + additional 40% off right now (making it $32). I’ll be wearing this from now through summer. With jeans and sneakers now, white jeans and slides in the spring, and tucked into jean shorts this summer. Light weight, super soft cotton, pretty print. Perfection.
(5) Floral Tiered Dress I had this print in the blouse first and our babysitter liked it and wondered if it came in a dress. A few days later I saw the dress version in store and send her a very detailed video of it like the good personal shopper I am. I bought two - one for her and one for me. I’ve worn it three times since getting it - which is a lot since it’s still winter here most of the time. Size down though, lots of fabric, but it’s supposed to be kind of slouchy. Dress it up with heeled booties or a block heeled sandal or dress it down with sneakers. The colors work now and will also be good for fall.
(6) Boys Blue Check Shorts Deacon lives in shorts like these in the summer and I’ve been stocking up since he’s grown so much since last summer. Light weight, comfy, and elastic waist band (no buttons or zippers to get him hung up when going to the bathroom). This brand specifically washes and wears so well. A must-have for us.
(7) Beautycounter Mini Facial Oils I talked on stories recently about how face oils have changed my skin. I had oily skin and therefor always thought they weren’t for me, but fighting oil with oil is actually very effective. I use the #3 balancing oil, but this set of all three types is a great intro to face oils and you can see which you like best or use the different ones based on what your skin needs that day. They are travel sized so great to pack in your carry-on for some extra in-flight moisturizing.
(8) Living Proof Detox Shampoo Haven’t washed your hair in awhile? Same. When you can’t remember exactly when you last washed your hair, you need this. I wash first with my regular shampoo and then double cleanse with this detox shampoo. It cleans your scalp of all the oil and dry shampoo residue and makes your hair squeaky clean. I don’t know what I did before this. Only use when you have super greasy hair, not for every day use.
(9) & (10) Fishing Shirt Cover Up (and matching shirt for girls!) Love a mom-daughter matching moment so much. Deacon wears this brand of fishing shirts each summer because they protect from the sun, dry quickly (great for splash pads!), and are breathable. I had to get one for Emmie this year and when I saw the matching color in a cover up for me? Well, duh. Can’t wait to roll up to the pool in these this summer.
(11) Mentos Clean Breath Mints Topping the list of most random favorite (hey, that’s what you’re here for, right?) are these mints. We love them so much I got Al the bulk pack for Valentine’s Day (so romantic). They’re sugar-free and strong but not potent. Just clean and minty and hide evidence of the hummus I eat for lunch.
(12) Star Hoodie I seriously wear this once a week. Its soft and not too bulky. I did size up because tight sweatshirts are basically straight jackets IMO. Mine is more blue and less heather than the pic on the site. I mostly wear it over my workout clothes, but I think it’d be cute with white jeans or jean shorts too. Just a great basic with a fun print.
And that wraps up my current favorites. See anything you like?
