Honestly I LOVE clothes, shopping, purses, makeup, skincare…all of it! And it takes a lot of self control to not just spend wildly each month. Especially when I’m nursing and spending a lot of time just trapped and scrolling websites for new arrivals.
Also I need to take a moment to express how insane it is that we are in July. July 4th has come and gone. What is happening to this year?! I feel like I blinked and we are almost to August. And I have a 3.5 month old….time is going too quickly. I think the 3rd time around you truly know how quickly the months fly by. More on that in another post so back to shopping finds!
See this entire post over on my Substack – Motherhood Together!
But I’m proud of the self control I’ve exhibited in the last few months! So these favorites aren’t all new, but they are currently on heavy rotation and I wanted to share.
- J.Crew factory jeans – I purchased these as my postpartum jeans and I will definitely repurchase when I need new sizes! They are comfortable, flattering AND affordable. If you want a new pair of jeans you should definitely check them out. I wear them multiple days a week right now!
- My rainbow necklace – more affordable version at Anthro. I wear this almost daily and it makes me happy! Apparently I’m in my color era?! You can also find it HERE. *Highly* recommend 🙂
- Supergoop Play – the BEST for being out and about but wanting sunscreen on my arms and neck. It’s not the most waterproof ever (this is my favorite for beach days) but it’s the one I reach for the most when I just want to put sunscreen on before leaving the house. Plus it smells so delightful!
- Nespresso Coffee – I go back and forth on my favorite coffee but I’m heavy on Nespresso these days. The Stormio flavor is my absolute favorite. I have a Vertuo machine (we got it ten years ago for our wedding and it’s still going strong!).
- 12 lb Weighted Vest – I have added a weighted vest to my walks and it is so so so amazing. I can feel it in my abs and glutes right away! Weighted vests are great for increased muscle activation and also working on your bone density. I want to be in the best shape possible for health and longevity so trying to walk as much as I can. I try to meet up with friends to do it so I can get the best of both worlds – a social workout 🙂 I have convinced multiple friends to buy one and they are all obsessed! I hope you have a fabulous week – you’ll find us at the pool 🙂 Our summer happy place!
