here’s what’s actually worth it


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, You know what I’ve missed while my kids have been in school all year? I’ve missed walking around the house picking pillows up off the floor all day. I’ve missed the steady hum of my kids arguing with each other that I can hear from any part of the house. I’ve missed making food and cleaning up the kitchen around the clock. I’ve missed being asked, “can we go somewhere fun now” at 7:30 in the morning. Lucky me, I’m about to have ALL of that, and more! Okay you know I love my kids a...

Hi Reader, Maycember, Mayhem, May-we-all-take-a-nap-now? I know you’re probably running around with your head barely attached to your body – so I just want to share a few snack box ideas with you to solve the “mooommmm I’m hungryyyy” problem while you’re running from one event to the next. Here’s some snack boxes I’ve packed, and a couple of my favorite breakfast smoothie recipes, too! Healthy and Filling Snackboxes I like to include some fiber + protein to keep them full. Beyond that,...

A week of packed lunch ideas

Hi Reader, One thing that kills me about a lot of kids’ vitamin marketing right now is how it convinces parents that normal kid struggles mean they’re missing something important. Your child is emotional? It’s nutrient deficiencies. Picky eater? Hidden hunger. Big feelings? Trouble focusing? This gummy will change everything. And while nutrient deficiencies absolutely can matter in some situations, a lot of these ads jump from reality: “a multivitamin may help fill some nutrition gaps” to...
