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.

A Few of My Favorite Things

Happy Tuesday! I wanted to share a few of my #favoritethings that is helping me get through the week and I’ve linked the stores I’ve purchased everything from.

1) My Chemex I can’t say how much I love my Chemex! I brew decaf for myself, specifically Whole Foods Allegro Organic Coffee (various varieties); it is Swiss Water processed vs. chemical; it’s said to be 99.9% decaf, and the Chemex removes any remaining acid that might be in the beans, so it’s great for tummy issues. Our other favorite coffee is from Philz. If you love coffee and haven’t tried Philz, you must.

2.) I finally switched to a sulfate-free shampoo, and it’s helping extend my color; after trying a few I decided on Redken’s Color Extend Magnetics Shampoo & Conditioner; it smells great and cleans without stripping right now; Ulta has a buy 2 get one free deal.

3.) After all the fertility drugs I took last year, my skin discolored in some areas. Sephora + Pantone’s Universe Correct + Conceal Palette is easy to use; you get a user guide and many colors in one container.

4.) I’ve been trying to find a good natural deodorant, and I think I finally found it in PiperWai. Many natural deodorants I tried have way too much baking soda in them, which irritated the heck out of my pits ??. PiperWai is hands down the best out of the 3 I’ve tried; order you up some today!

5.) It is a blowout membership from The Drybar. Now, I know this seems a bit much, but for 75 bucks, you get two blowouts a month +a bday blowout, and these blowouts are the sh*ts! No lie, they are the B E S T! Their products are paraben and sulfate-free, so you don’t have to worry about your color fading or washing out.
