My Recent Amazon Must-Haves

I’m always on Amazon.. it’s one of those windows that is just continually open on my computer. I’m also on it because we run out of diapers, wipes and formula on the daily #toomanykids. So when I’m placing my orders for the necessities, I sometimes throw a little extra in my cart.. why not, right? So here’s what I couldn’t live without recently:

White Oversized Hoodie

Who else wears their husbands/boyfriends clothes? Not just me, right? Love a good oversized sweater or hoodie and this one is the softest EVER. I wear it around the house. I wear it to the grocery store. I wear it to yoga. I wear it to bed and then wear it to all of those places again the next day. Love it so much I bought two.

Makeup travel case

As you can imagine, I’ve got a lot of cosmetics cuz #hoarder. I mean, you’ve seen my countertop makeup case with all the things. Now, when I travel I don’t like to bring too much stuff but for a trip like Vegas or somewhere glitzy and glam, I have to bring IT ALL. No, this makeup case isn’t a space saver. It’s big. But it can hold everything, including your brushes. Super high quality. Cheap. Chic and stylish. I mean check out all those compartments! This girl loves compartments. Need. Meaning, you.

Microfiber face towels

Let me ask you a question. After you wash your face, what towel do you use to dry it? Is it your body towel? Because.. NO. Don’t do it. You really want to wipe your face with the same towel you used to wipe your.. you know…?! Everyone needs a supply of microfiber towels on their countertop that you use on your face ONLY. It’s a must. Throw these in your cart now. Thank me later. Actually the zits you DON’T get can thank me later.

Everyday long sleeve that looks like Free People

Amazon Fashion is pretty freaking great if you ask me. Just make sure you read the reviews for sizing. This top is SOOO cute. Saw it on a blogger. But SIZE UP. Runs really small and not oversized like the picture. If you want it oversized, trust me and go up a size or even two. And seriously it could pass as a Free People top for half the cost. YUSSSSSSS.

Neutral Baby bibs

Alright. For my mom friends. Do me a favor and stop putting your kids in onesies and bibs that say things like, “daddy’s number 1 slugger” or “mommy’s little helper.” I mean if that’s your thing, I won’t shame you but it’s not my thing. I want clean, neutral, plain outfits. This goes for bibs too because my kid has to have one on at all times otherwise he’s soaked in drool. Found this pack of 10 in white, grey and black. Goes with any outfit and he looks freshhhhhh. Wouldn’t you agree?

Vitamin C Serum

There are a few things on Amazon that have a cult following.. this being one of them. Over 4200 reviews and it gets a 4.5 out of 5 starts. Ok, I’m convinced. I posted about another vitamin C serum in my last post that also has insane reviews but I decided to give this one a try. Why? Because it has hyaluronic AND ferulic acid in it. I plan to do a post all about the acids in your skincare but basically both of those acids are hydrating, alpha hydroxy acids that reduce fine lines and can be used for all skin types. Oh, and everyone needs vitamin C in their morning skincare routine. Done and done.

Straw handbag

I love Cult Gaia Ark Bag but I am not about to drop $168 on a bag I wear a couple times a year at most when I’m on vacation. Amazon to the rescue! Lucky for you, you can have the same bag as the Cult Gaia for $38 here. I didn’t end up buying that one but opted for this straw handbag for my upcoming spring break trip to Palm Springs. Will be perfect for date nights sans kids when I don’t need to bring a bottle, applesauce, diapers and lollipops in my purse 😉

Clear Makeup Travel Case

I never realized what I had been missing in my life before having clear makeup cases for my purse! I always have lip gloss, bandaids, mints, headphones, etc floating around my purse or in a makeup case I can’t see into. NOT ANYMORE! Now I can easily see if I have chapstick or a lollipop quick fix for one of the kids when they’re losing their sh*t. Total game changer for me. I picked up a pack of 4… you know, for the car, my gym bag, purse and just because I’m sure I’ll lose one at some point.

What have you purchased on Amazon recently? Comment below! I’m planning on doing a Cult Favorites soon and trying some of the products that people go crazy for on the site! Would you like that?

xx, H
