Father’s Day Edit

With Father’s Day this Sunday, I know there are some of you still looking for gift ideas. I put together some of my husband’s favorite things, and they are all available on Amazon Prime so that they will get here just in time for Father’s Day.

  1. My husband loves a good super soft plain tee and these Next Level shirts are THE BEST if you don’t believe me just check out the reviews. What is all also good they are super inexpensive so you can buy the guy in your life a whole lot without breaking the bank.
  2. In the last few months, Kevin has been cooking more and more (or as he likes to say I’m now allowing him in the kitchen) and I have to admit he makes THE Best burgers with his own special seasoning blend. To make his burger making easier I got him this adjustable hamburger press its non-stick and makes the perfect size patties.
  3. Every cook needs a grill press and this one from Cuisinart does the job.
  4. My husband is a professional photographer and I’m always looking for cool gadgets to get him to use with his phone. The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 Handheld Gimbal turns your smartphone into a handicam which means you can make some really cool videos with this. We were together when we saw this demo’d and we were blown away by its performance we got to use it and play with it before buying it which is always good and the kit linked is the best value.
  5. We are a Yeti family.  In our opinion, Yeti makes the best products on the market and since some of them are quite costly I’m linking one of Kevin’s most used items but really he uses all his Yeti stuff every day.

What ever you decide to buy or do for the special man in your life I’m sure he is going to love and appreciate it. Happy Father’s Day!

Five Favorite Things

 

 

Five Things Friday  Monday!

  1. Loafers

I was reading that loafers are in but were they ever out??? I have had a lifelong love affair with loafers between an uncle who wore them and popped collars to me attending Catholic school. I have always liked them.

These loafers are from ASOS; they have the best selection I have seen thus far, and they are all reasonably priced.

2. Bodum Mini French Press

Even though we have not one but two Starbucks close by to us and I have a Chemex, sometimes I want an iced coffee in the afternoon, and this Mini French Press makes just the right amount and gets the job done.

3. L’Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Clay Rebalancing Shampoo

After lots of research, I decided to try L’Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Clay Shampoo as a clarifier. I use this because the product, dry shampoo, and sweat build up on your scalp, and if your scalp has buildup, your pores will clog, and your hair will not grow, plus your hair will look dull or even greasy. Even though this is non-drying, I pair it with a deep conditioner, and I’m all set.

4. Yeti Rambler 26 oz

We love all things Yeti! In all honesty, they do make the best products. I love my Yeti Rambler with the straw cap. I take mine everywhere with me, including when I walk the dogs and the ice stays solid for over 24 hours.

5. J.Crew 9″ High-Rise Toothpick Jean in Solano Wash

These are my new favorite jeans. They are comfy, and they are the perfect rise, shade and look good on you if you have curves.

Five Things Friday

Here are five things I’m loving this week:

  1. Cheetah Print Cardigan-This cardi is from Old Navy, and they are the softest I have found that are not cashmere. Plus, it’s cheetah print!
  2. OlaplexNo 3- If You are getting chemical hair services like highlights, balayage, bleaching, or coloring, your salon will not use the Olaplex system. You are going to the wrong salon. Olaplex No 3 is the take-home treatment that repairs damaged hair and broken bonds with chemical processing. This is not a conditioner; it is a repairer.
  3. Trader Joe’s Leaf Wreath-I don’t know where you live, but here in So Cal, we don’t get fall foliage like other states, so if you are looking to bring fall colors to your life, then this is the wreath for you. Plus, if you have the Ring doorbell/camera, it fits around it and hides it perfectly.
  4. Whole Foods Market– Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies-The best grocery store-made cookies I have ever had are made with brown butter makes them just that better. Yes, I could easily make these cookies (and I have), but then I would eat them all! Instead, I pick up a single cookie and have just one.
  5. Leaves Candle from Bath and Body Works-I know it’s all about Pumpkin Spice, but I’m just not ready to go all out Pumpkin Spice, but I am ready for a bit of fall scent in my home and this, to me, is the perfect scent. I light my candles an hour before my husband comes and give a quick spray of the room spray.
