Favorite Products Of The Month || Wellness, Beauty, + Fashion

Happy Friday friends! I hope you all have something fun planned for your weekend ahead. Sharing all my favorite products from the past month with you today. For the beauty section, I switched it up a little and decided to share my favorite products that are currently included in the Nordstrom Sale… all other items are new favs!

Wellness 

1. Purely Elizabeth Grain Free Granola: I swear I’ve never tried a flavor of her granola that I don’t like. It’s always so dang good. I didn’t budget my time correctly this past week and ran out of time to grab snacks for yesterday’s travels. I remembered that I had a few bags of her granola and grabbed this flavor. Let me tell you, so good. I almost went through the entire bag solo.

2. Lara Bar Bites: Um, these are amazing. I grabbed them on a recent trip to Sprout’s and we’ve been buying them ever since. In looking them up for this post, I noticed so many different flavors I want to try (like the Caramel Sea Salt Flavor)…. they’re gluten free, dairy free, non-gmo, with pretty simple ingredients. They’re a huge hit with the whole family, especially little miss. I typically have a couple after dinner.

3. Cowboy Salsa: This corn salsa from Trader Joe’s is pretty DG. I put it in my salads, morning egg scrambles, or dip some bell peppers in it with some guacamole for a delicious afternoon snack. It’s available where all the jar salsas are.

4.  Raw Sugar Soap: I’m trying to make the switch to non-toxic products in the home. I haven’t fully gotten there yet, and it will likely take a little while as I try to find products that are just as good as the ones I have been using for years, but I started by switching out my body soap. I’m pretty obsessed with the raw sugar line. It smells great and leaves my skin feeling super soft.

Beauty

1. T3 Hairdryer: I’ve talked about my love for T3 products in the past, but they do typically come with a hefty price tag. Their signature hairdryer is included in the half yearly sale. In the past I always purchased hairdryers that would break after a few months, and, after a year I had spent what I would if I had invested in a higher quality product in the first place. I don’t see as much breakage and it cuts the drying time down by about 5-8 minutes…. which is valuable time for anyone.

2.  T3 Straightening Iron: Another one of their products currently marked down. It has tourmaline and ceramic plates which are designed to protect hair against breakage… and since I apply heat to my hair almost daily, this is critical. I also never noticed any tugging or pulling on my hair, which also decreases breakage.

3. Hand Salve: As I mentioned in Wednesday’s post, my hands tend to get very dry and I hate when they crack. I’ve been using this hand salve for several years now and, after a few uses, my hands start to feel more nourished.

4. Nude Lip Trio: I don’t buy makeup that often, mainly because I typically like to stick with what works. Yet, I was looking for a new lip color for this upcoming trip, and when I saw this trio I thought it would be perfect. It’s not flesh colored, but it gives me just the right amount of color to look alive!

5. Mario Badescu Travel Set: I love taking this set along with me on my travels. It includes a drying product design to help with unexpected breakouts, and I love the facial mist as well.

6. Clarisonic Cleansing System (Men): This alpha fit sonic was part of TJ’s Father’s Day gift and he absolutely loved it. I think men so frequently forget to take care of their skin, but this little gadget really does the trick. TJ said that it leaves his skin feeling clean, fresh, and incredibly soft.

7. NuFace Trinity Toning Kit: This thing is pretty amazing. My mom has one too. It pretty much helps to stimulate the skin to prevent, or reverse, sagging skin and wrinkles. It’s an investment, but a great one at that.

Fashion

1. V-Neck Tee: I stumbled across this great basic at the Nordstrom sale and knew it would get a lot of wear. I snagged it in black (as seen above) and think it’s a great layering option as well. It’s super soft, and I sized up one for a slightly looser fit. I am also loving this white, oversized option too. I’ve worn it so many times since first purchasing (comes in 5 color options).

2. Lounge Set Shorts + Pullover: Quite possibly one of the softest pieces of clothing that I own. I’m obsessed. Snagged them at the Nordstrom sale and couldn’t be happier with them. I love that the top could also work with a pair of joggers, or layered over a tunic tank with leggings, for a casual weekend look. I’m contemplating grabbing a pair of the joggers for the cooler months.

3. Mesh Workout Top (I have a size M): Love this mesh pullover (I have it in the mauve, but it comes in black too) for a post workout layer now and to workout in during the fall and winter season. It runs small, in my opinion, so I sized up a couple sizes.

4. Straw Tote: My sister gave these as part of her bridesmaid’s gifts, and I am obsessed with mine. It holds so much and I think it’s the perfect summer tote.

5. Low Heeled Mule: So, I originally bought these to go with my dress for the wedding, but the mauve/berry hues clashed together and I decided to go a different route. I’m still keeping them and wearing them to the rehearsal dinner with this romper. They’re comfortable, the perfect heel height, and I can wear them now and later. Oh, and the color is gorgeous.

6. Tassel Earrings: I don’t wear a ton of statement jewelry, but ever since I bought these at the beginning of the month, I’ve been loving the little extra they add to neutral outfits… especially when I’m wearing cut-offs and a plain tee. They’re light weight too, so they won’t tug on your earlobes.

7. Tassel Slip-Ons: These have quickly become one of my favorite throw on and go pair of kicks. Similar to the earrings above, they make an everyday outfit look slightly more elevated. They’re comfortable and run TTS.

8. Rosé Sweatshirt: I call this my wine sipping sweatshirt, and happily enjoy sipping my rosé while wearing it. It’s comfortable and pair perfectly with the lounge shorts mentioned above.

9. Racerback Workout Tank: I featured this in last week’s Wellness Wednesday post, but I’ve worn it several times since, and absolutely love it. It’s lightweight, and provides great ventilation while working out. I have it in the blush color, but it comes in two other great color combinations as well.

10. Coverup Wrap: I know there has been a lot of talk about fall clothing items, but I’m still loving all things summer. I bought this wrap pareo for a few beach trips we have coming up and I love how gorgeous the print is. You can always wear it several different ways, which makes it super versatile. I’ve worn it on my hips over a one piece, but also tied across my chest over a pair of cut-offs.
