Finally, Friday. The week after vacation always seems to kick my bootay, and this one wasn’t any exception. Looking forward to some rest and relaxation this weekend, with absolutely nothing on our schedule except for a little date night with TJ. Sharing my favorite products from the past month today…. some new beauty items I’ve started using, a few tasty treats (including a new favorite bar… hands down favorite), and a bunch of items I’ve been wearing on repeat…..
I hope you all have a great weekend! See you Monday….. xx
FOOD:
1. Naturally Clean Eats Bars: I first shared these in my last meal plan, and have been obsessed for several weeks. They were created by a mom who was disheartened by the snack bars out there for herself and children. I was skeptical about yet another “bar” but when I tried them I was hooked…. they currently come in two flavor options (both are amazing and one has kale hidden in it….). Harper + TJ both love them too. All bars are vegan, gluten free, + non-gmo.
2. Sweet Potato Chips: I shared briefly about these here, but I am horrible at making my own sweet potato chips (I’ve tried, and they just aren’t thin or crispy enough….) and these are pretty much the same thing. Made with only sweet potatoes, coconut oil, and sea salt… if you love sweet potatoes, you’ll love these as a healthy alternative to regular chips.
3. Appelgate Organic Frozen Turkey Burgers: For weeks when we don’t have a lot of time to pre assemble our turkey burgers, these come in handy. They’re frozen raw, but cook up quickly and are incredibly tasty.
BEAUTY:
1. TULA Probiotics: I shared about these in this post, and I am happy to report that I noticed a difference in bloating and overall regularity within a week or so of taking them. I’ve always been a huge fan of probiotics (hence why I drink Kombucha daily), but these have the added beauty benefit… so it’s really a no brainer why I continue to take them daily.

2. TULA Dual Phase Skin Reviving Treatment Pads: These little pads are pretty much an instant facial at a fraction of the price. I shared my experience with them yesterday on instastories, but they pretty much left my skin feeling oh-so-soft and glowing. It’s one pad, which has two sides (a smooth side, and a textured side) which act to give you that facial experience in about 2 minutes (and I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time or money to get a weekly facial….).

FASHION:
1. Poncho Hoodie: I snagged this a few weeks ago to wear as a casual layering option in the fall months. I love how it can easily be tossed on over my favorite thermal with a pair of leggings (featured above) for a day of errands, or with a pair of jeans if you need to dress it up a little more. It’s not super heavy, so it’s great for the mild fall days.
2. Sweatpants: I bought these to wear on the plane for our recent travels, and they ended up fitting like a dream. Perfect for us short girls, they hit at the perfect spot, without making them look baggy. Super comfortable, and can easily look chic with a knotted tee + suede jacket.
3. Lace-Up Crop Workout Top: I’m pretty much obsessed with this workout top…. I wear it during yoga, a spin workout, stairs circuit, and strength training. The detailing makes it appropriate for a post-workout activity… simply pair it with a pair of high waisted leggings and a zip-up.
4. Faux Fur Vest (also here): This was part of my Halloween costume this year, and I knew I’d wear it tons post dressing up. I’d actually been eyeing it since last year, so as we approached the cooler weather months, I decided it would be perfect for the fall/winter. It’s soft, and layers easily over so many different tops, and I love the natural colors.
5. Waffle Knit Pullover: Last featured here, and owned in two color options, to say I’m obsessed would be an understatement. Comfortable, lightweight, and versatile it’s a great closet staple for fall (and excellent for layering).
6. Lightweight Anorak (currently on sale too): I bought this jacket about a month ago as an alternative to my denim + utility jackets. It’s been a great option, as the temps have cooled, to layer on over thermals + tees. It keeps me comfortable, and isn’t too heavy or bulky that I can’t move around in it.
7. Oversized Cardigan: I know, I know, another one. Yet, this one is so soft, and I spent the entire day traveling in it and it was incredibly comfortable… so much so that I’ve continued wearing it simply lounging around the house. I have it in the rust color, but it also comes in a blush and fall brown option as well.
8. Fuzzy Jacket: It’s like wearing the softest blanket ever. I promise. I styled it here + here, and you can see the other ways I have paired it over on instagram. It’s great for fall… lounging around the house in it, or wearing it out at night… it’s versatile enough for either.
9. Long Sleeve Shirt Dress (on sale): I’ve always loved wearing booties and dresses, so when I stumbled across this mauve colored dress I knew it would be a great option for fall. It easily pairs with a denim jacket or oversized cardigan, and is casual enough for everyday living.
10. Henley Top: A super casual everyday top for your wardrobe. It’s comfortable and I love the bigger sleeves. I’ve worn it several times with my distressed jeans, as well as under this vest.
11. Oversized Hoodie: The best post work-out sweatshirt to toss on… the oversized feel makes it cozy enough to lounge around in… and pairing it with jeans makes it look more pulled together (especially topped with my favorite pom beanie). Love the retro feel too.
