Twins are a weird mix of crying frenzy, and peaceful quiet downtime. I’d like to say that I’ve been using snippets of downtime to be working on recipes or other post ideas, but it’s been laundry and cleaning taking priority.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a frivolous post about stuff that I’ve bought and love, so here goes!
This product is genius- it’s the concentrate of self tanning liquid, meaning you add a few drops to your favorite face lotion or sunscreen to poof! Make it into self tanner. I love my daily Lancôme with SPF and hate spending money on a separate self tanner. While the price seems high (at Nordstrom it's on sale though!), this bottle has lasted me more than a year. Because I’m naturally really pale, I use two drops mixed with my lotion every other day. No streaks, no smell, no ghostly white face.
One of the fashion bloggers I follow raves about this jacket, and me being the complete follower I am bought one as well. Love that it’s sold on Amazon (who doesn’t have a Prime subscription nowadays?) and love the price. To me this is a total dupe for Lululemon- thick stretchy material that’s cut really well. This plus my high waist leggings will be my go to mom uniform.
I’m not a huge drug store makeup girl, mainly because I like being able to try out a product first. I don’t even remember why I bought these but man, they’re good. I have two colors and use one or the other most every day. They are really natural looking on and don’t dry your lips out like a lot of matte longwear products do. I have "Lover" (pictured) and "Dreamer."
With twins comes having to wash my hands 17,632 times a day. I end up with super dry skin no matter what soap I use. I love this particular hand lotion because it’s thick and non greasy, but most important- there’s no scent to it. I love perfume and scented shower gel but for a basic hand lotion? Nope. Plus my husband can use it without smelling like cotton juniper sunshine field.
A few months ago I was at Macys and saw these beautiful Tory Burch sunglasses. I’ll admit that I already have quite a few designer pairs of glasses and I can’t justify the cost for a funkier pair. I found these BP ones at Nordstrom and to me they’re pretty much a dupe at less than 10% of the price. Most important is that they’re comfy and don’t slide down my nose. When one of the kids overzealously tries them on and they break, I won’t freak.
Safe to say that being at home with babies- during the down time- leads to some internet purchases. But hey- think of it as me doing the screening of products for you.
On the table this week? Red beans and rice! May or may not have everything to do with said shopping. Happy Wednesday!
