July Favorites

We are halfway through the Summer and loving all of our afternoon pool days, BBQs and crisp cocktails. This past month we picked up some goods that we want to share with all of you! Here are July’s can’t-live-withouts!

(You can click on the actual picture of any item below and it will take you to the link!)

Heather

Microfiber Face Towels: I’ve talked about these before but I can’t stress enough the importance of washing your face and body with separate towels. I have this set of white microfiber towels for my face only and never use them to wipe down my hands or body. Cross contamination of body fluids onto your face is gross and one reason you could see breakouts. So get some face towels.. pronto!

It’s All in a Name Personalized Necklace: I’m all about personalized gifts (for myself or someone else!) and when I saw this name necklace from Etsy, I had to have it. I got my own name on it but it would be cute to get your kid’s initials too!

Luggage Organizer: I don’t travel a ton anymore but used to when I was working and if I had known about this organizer set back in the day, I would have swooped it up in a heartbeat. I just purchased it and I can’t wait for my next trip and to be the most organized traveler on the planet! I am all about that type A/OCD life!

Koffie Straws: I am currently in the process of whitening the sh*t out of my teeth.. like I want them to glow in the dark ok? I also drink a LOT of coffee.. sometimes a Diet Coke if I’m feelin myself.. and I don’t want to reverse all of the hard work I’m putting in to get these teeth glistening. Koffie Straws (in the pink color for obvious reasons) are my favorite silicone straws because they are designed to fit into ANY cup. It also comes with a tall straw and a short straw.. the short one fits perfectly in my Yeti coffee tumbler and the larger one is perfect for my large drinking glasses.

Lens Wipes: Remember that OCD I was talking about above? Well, here’s another product that I just can’t live without because I hate fingerprints, smudged glasses, etc. I keep these wipes EVERYWHERE and use them on my phone screen, eyeglasses, sunglasses and computer. I wipe it all down.. and voila! Pretty again. They also come in little individual packets so I can keep some in my purse, at home and in my car.

Alix

Adidas Running Shoe: I was hesitant to pull the trigger on these running shoes because of the price tag $$$, which is typically more than I spend on running shoes. I found them on sale and they are on sale right now (click the link) and I’m so glad I made the switch from my old Nike’s. I wore them on my 9 mile run last weekend and they felt great. They are extremely light weight and give good support for my knees and back!

Align biker shorts: I mean put the word align in front of anything and I’m sold. I know Heather wasn’t in love with these shorts, but they work well for me. I’ve worn them around the house and on a few long runs and love how smooth and light weight they are. I probably wouldn’t wear them to run errands unless I had a longer shirt on to cover my bum, but for runs and workouts I’m sold on these.

Amazon workout tank tops – pack of 3: I plan to buy these tanks in like every color. I got the grey, purple, charcoal 3 pack but don’t think you can go wrong with any of the colors they offer. The tank has a big scoop in the arm pit and back to show off a cute sports bra and you get good air flow while working out. I’m over spending a lot of $$ on workout tanks because I sweat so much and they get gross, so hello Amazon FTW per usual!

Slide Sandal: I was on the hunt for a new summer sandal that was causal, versatile, and easy to slip on and off. My girlfriend had on a cute pair of Jslide platform sandals and I went online to order the same ones, but Nordstrom had a different plan for me. You know how they make suggestions about what they think you might like? Well they showed me these and nailed it! Every time I wear them I get a ton of compliments. They took a few wears to break in and stay put, but now they fit great and I love the extra height.

Personalized Beaded Bracelet: I saw these bracelets on Somewhere Lately’s IG and right away needed them too! I got Heather three bracelets with her boys names on them (for her birthday) and of course I had to get one for myself with Quinn’s name. They are such a darling and simple little bracelet and make a nice personalized touch if you’re needing a gift idea for someone.

Happy August!! Let the real Summer fun commence!!

xx, A&H
