Get ready for a random little post! I thought I’d share a bunch of random things I’ve been into lately, everything from shows, food, kid stuff, and make-up. I love hearing other peoples’ recommendations so here are a few of mine. I almost never watch, buy, eat, or do anything without someone first recommending it to me. LOL.
Ten Random Favorite Things
1. White Lotus
Have you seen this show on HBO yet? It’s so good. A group of people visit a resort in Hawaii, and all hell breaks loose. Beware, there is quite of bit of nudity, but the storyline and acting are amazing.
2. Planet Box Rover Lunchbox
I have secretly been pining for this lunchbox since Ellie was a baby. I know my enthusiasm for packing lunches will wane as the school year progresses, but, right now, I absolutely love it. I know; I’m so weird. This Planet Box is great for packing a lunch with a variety of foods for your elementary aged kid. It holds quite a bit of food for it’s size and is practically indestructible. It is fairly pricey for a lunchbox, but I’m hoping it will last several years.
3. Walmart Free Assembly Oversized Denim Barn Jacket
I got so many questions about this denim jacket whenever I wore it last year, but it sold out so fast after I purchased it. Well, it’s back in stock for the fall season so go grab it! It fits a little oversized, but I have my true size.
4. Sharon Says So Podcast
Are you guys following Sharon Says So on Instagram yet? I’ve learned so much from Sharon since I started following her. She gives you the news and also information about the U.S. government that is super helpful and nonpartisan. She recently launched a podcast, and I’ve been listening while I shower and get ready for the day. Highly recommend!
5. Everlane ReNew Transit Bag
My wardrobe goals this year are to upgrade my handbags. I have been seeing these fanny pack style bags for awhile and have been wanting one for myself. I recently purchased this one from Everlane, and I love the modern look and color.
6. The Chair
Netflix just released this series last week, and Danny and I are 4 episodes in and really liking it so far. It’s a drama about the first female chair of the English department at a fictional university. It’s funny, cute, and quirky.
7. Ilia Foundation and Ilia Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara
In the middle of the summer, I purchased the Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation and the Ilia Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara from Sephora. I had been wanting to try this raved about brand for awhile. The serum foundation has a more light coverage and dewy finish than the Tarte Foundcealer foundation that I use as well, but it covers the redness on my cheeks while still feeling super light. It actually feels like I’m wearing nothing at all on my face.
I’ve also been loving this lash lengthening mascara. I can’t stand mascara that applies clumpy and this one doesn’t at all. It also doesn’t rub off under my eyes during the day either.
8. Lillie Eats and Tells Quick Pickle Chicken Salad
We are constantly making Lillie’s recipes around here. I finally got around to making her pickle chicken salad that I’ve seen everyone talking about on Instagram. It lives up to the hype, especially if you love pickled things. I’ve been eating mine for lunches all week with rice cakes and crackers.
9. The Suicide Squad
I’m typically not into the whole superhero movie trend, but Danny and I watched The Suicide Squad on HBO Max and actually really enjoyed it. A little bit cheesy, but pretty funny, too. It’s only available on HBO Max until September 5th, but you can catch it in the theaters, too.
10. Clean Simple Eats Simply Vanilla Protein Powder
I recently bought the Clean Simple Eats Simply Vanilla Protein Powder to try out, and it’s so delicious. I’ve been adding it to my morning smoothies. I love that it’s not chalky at all, tastes super vanilly, and that it is sweetened with stevia. Here’s the recipe for my morning smoothie. Lately, I’ve been switching out the cherries for blueberries, leaving out the chocolate, and adding in either almond butter or PB2. Yummy!
