Somehow, it's May, and the weather has finally taken a turn for the better over here! We're soaking in the sunshine and spending all of our evenings outside, and even bringing our dinner out to picnic on the patio on most nights. My April Amazon favorites were, in large part, preparing me for exactly this, and they're some of my favorites finds.
Wool
Dryer Balls: I got these based off of a recommendation on an environmental
friendly alternative to drier sheets and fabric softeners. I add a few drops of essential oil to the ball
to create a natural fresh scent. They’ve been just as efficient as a
traditional dryer sheet and as an added bonus get our clothing to dry even faster.
The
Little Book of Hygge: This little book had some life (or at least mindset)
changing wisdom, and I loved reading it. Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is all about
comfort, togetherness, and well-being. I’ve been reading it outside on the
patio during any moments of quiet.
Instant
Pot LUX Mini: I finally pulled the trigger on the Instant Pot, and it’s
just as good as everyone says. I got the LUX Mini model, which is just big
enough for 2-3 servings (i.e. for Matt and me). I especially love this since I’m
not a huge fan of leftovers, and we eat what we make. I can get dinner ready in an hour or less, and
have already made ribs, stroganoff, pot roast, several varieties of chicken,
and pulled pork.
Outdoor
String Lights: These add so much ambiance to our outdoor living space, and also
keep us outside after the sun goes down.
Travel
Wallet: I’m headed off to Stockholm tomorrow (!!!) and got this pretty little
travel wallet which is just big enough for a passport, boarding pass, and
credit cards, and is large enough to hold foreign currency (which is usually
larger/wider than the US Dollar).
Mermaid
Swimsuit: This one is on order to celebrate our pool opening! Love the
mixed and matched patterns and the pretty coral hue.
First
Aid Kit: Our nights outside have already led to lots of skinned knees (and
foreheads, chins, elbows…) and this First Aid kit has been much needed to
quickly grab some sanitizing pads and Band-Aids.
Summery
Cuffed Earrings: These are just the prettiest earrings I own. I get
compliments every single time I wear them.
Knotted
Top: This reminds me so much of the Free People knotted top for a fraction
of the price. I love this with white cut off denim shorts. It’s so flattering
and just right for spring and summer weather.
Wet
Skin Kids Sunscreen: This find was golden—finally a sunscreen you can apply
to wet skin. We’ve had the sprinkler on for the kids to run through a dozen
times already and this is quick and easy to spray on in order to keep their skin safe.
