here’s what’s actually worth it

Published 14 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

OK, Amazon officially has a “big sale” every 5 minutes now.

And frankly, I think it’s so wrong how some brands and resellers change their prices to make it look like an item is on sale, while it’s actually minimally or not at all on sale.

BUT.

I’m still a deal hunter by nature, and I always feel like I’m winning when I snag something at a good price.

So, I pulled together some of my best sellers and my absolute favorite items that are quality buys – and the discounted price is TRULY a sale.

For myself

  1. ​These have stopped me from cursing at my sports bras. I never have to waste time adjusting padding or searching for pads that fall out. These keep everything perfectly in place.
  2. I’m officially OVER pricey skincare…Under $20 for the smoothest, clearest skin with this!! If you haven’t tried it yet, I can’t recommend it enough!
  3. Another skincare favorite – this is so hydrating. Sometimes I feel like products just sit on my skin and don’t actually absorb. This one is different!
  4. I have this in 3 colors and wear them constantly – so comfy and cute.

For my house

  1. IYKYK… my very own cleaning fairy who works while I’m sleeping. I love her as much as I love my husband. (If you want all the details I shared them here!)
  2. Speaking of loving my husband, I started loving him more when he stopped getting water all over the floor after showers. This is what did the trick!
  3. Feels like a luxury at a non-luxury price! Everyone in my house loves these both for cooking and using at the table.
  4. It’s so satisfying to clean my dryer vent, and I love knowing that I’m keeping my family safe with this quick hack.

For my family

  1. This beach bag is AWESOME. It fits so much, zips closed to keep out sand, is waterproof, is easy to carry, and folds up small to easily store when not in use. I’ve bought more than one!
  2. Hot weather and sickness have made these a staple for my kids! Also this for keeping them regular, because it has no flavor or texture. 👏
  3. My kids LOVE having this in their rooms!
  4. Easter gift idea – my kids are going to be obsessed with this. I clicked “buy now” immediately. I’m so excited.
  5. This simple game keeps everyone at the dinner table and gives us something to talk about!

Hope you find some great deals!

Hi Reader, If your kid is suddenly refusing foods they used to eat, there’s a good chance it’s not about the food... It’s about who’s sitting next to them at lunch. A friend asked me something recently that I think so many of us are dealing with: “How do you handle peer pressure at school changing what your kid will eat?” Their child used to happily eat cottage cheese. Loved it.Now? Refuses it—because other kids don’t know what it is. Hummus used to be in the regular lunch rotation too… until...

Collage of Recommended Fruit Snacks

Hi Reader, If you’ve ever thought, “My kid eats fruit… but basically no vegetables… is that bad??” You are so not alone. And honestly? I want to take a little pressure off you today. Because somewhere along the way, fruit got demoted. Vegetables became the gold standard… and fruit started to feel like the less impressive option. But nutritionally? That’s not really how it works. Fruit and vegetables are both doing a lot of heavy lifting. And in some cases… fruit is outperforming vegetables in...

Hi Reader, I saw you clicked on my robot vacuum/mop in Monday's newsletter… and I feel like I need to fully explain myself. 😅 I don’t throw around the phrase “life-changing” lightly. But this has genuinely been one of those things for me. Not in a dramatic way—just in a very real, everyday way where something that used to sit in the background of my brain…is just handled. My floors are clean when I wake up. I’m not constantly noticing crumbs or dirt. And I don’t have that mental note of “ugh...
