Add It To My List: June

I'm a bit late, but better late than never, right? I'm off from work this week and still trying to find a "schedule" that works for me. As I work on that, here are a few things that I've been buying or trying and loving lately and I think you should too! (Also, I'm having some major formatting issues over here, so if things look wonky, I apologize. Not really sure what's going on.)


Caffeine Molecule Necklace (and others)

Sweetest Roses Jewelry $10



This was originally shared by Christina, but I like it so much that I'm sharing it as well! I like Caffeine, but there's also Seratonin, Dopamine, and atoms, and they're only $10 each! I'll probably be getting a few as gifts as well!

T-Fal 5 Qt. Nonstick, Dishwasher Safe Jumbo Cooker Saute Pan with Glass Lid

You know you're getting older when you strat getting overly excited about cookware, but you guys, this thing is awesome. I mentioned once before that I got the Budget Bytes cookbook, and I love that she offers a lot of one-pot/pan recipes, except I didn't have an adequate one-pan to use. They were either too big or too small so instead of buying a new pan, I let the cookbook gather dust until Alyssa mentioned a new one that she described as "life-changing," Enter this pan, which is a little heavy but durable, non-stick, and actually cooks everything evenly. And for less than $20! I think I may just find my way back into my kitchen after all!
T-fal A91082 Specialty Nonstick Dishwasher Safe Oven Safe Jumbo Cooker Saute Pan with Glass Lid Cookware, 5-Quart, Black
Amazon Deal of the Day- $18
Cremo Moustrizing Shaving Cream

This was originally shared by Stephanie. I jumped right on it because I've been getting pretty bad razor burn lately. This is suppose to help with that, along with actually making hair less prickly when it's growing back in. And it's cruelty-free. As per usual, she was right! This stuff is amazing, and smells delicious. My legs feel softer in general post-shower, and there's no more razor burn!
Cremo Moisturizing Shave Cream, Lavender Bliss, 6 Ounce
Amazon $8
Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater

I've been trying to master a skincare routine lately, and finally caved and purchased a 4 oz. bottle of this much raved about spray. And now I get the hype. It's super refreshing, doesn't mess up my makeup, and helps with my combo/dry skin. I will be purchasing the full size for sure!

Amazon Add-On Item $7

Poshmark- This isn't really news, but I've been using Poshmark a lot more since my closet cleanout last month. I've been able to sell or trade quite a few things, and am adding to my online closet almost daily, so be sure to check it out! Link in sidebar!

Victoria Secret Good Vibes sling
This was one of my recent purchases from Poshmark. I think it was only $5 and it came new with tags. It fits 6 cans and/or whatever you want to put in it (I used mine to also bring sub sandwiches to a boating event last weekend), it's insulated, waterproof, lightweight and easy to transport. Perfect for just about any outing!


Linen Bermuda shorts

I originally purchased a few pairs of linen Bermuda shorts when I was traveling to India because regualr shorts were too short. I love them, and have been living in them this season. I'm not a fan of short shorts (because, shaving...ugh), so these are a great length and I love the lightweight material.

Banana Republic Factory- $24

The Handmaid's Tale- Hulu

I think I've mentioned this one before, but that was anticipatory because I wanted to finish the book first. I just started watching this last week, and OH MY. I'm only on episode 3, and while it has strayed from the book in some ways (explaining and developing new storylines that weren't part of the original), I'm loving it. I do have a question though, so if you are watching it let me know so we can discuss!

Essex Basic Storage Bench
I love this thing. I actually bought it in March I think? but I hadn't found a good use for it until recently. I use it to store all my bulky sweaters/winter stuff (instead of storing them in luggage, as I was doing before). It's perfect and I love having an extra spot to sit as well.

Target- $72



Micro-Fiber Chenille Dusting Slippers

I may have mentioned that I'm pretty lazy about cleaning, so I ordered these immediately when I saw a friend using them. I have hardwood floors, and I kind of hate sweeping. I just feel like it just raises all the dust up, so I Swiffer more than anything, but these guys let me clean as I'm just walking around like normal. They're micro-fiber so they trap dust and dirt, and they're washable. (Though at only $7 a pair, I wouldn't mind just buying more.)

Amazon- $7

What else should I be adding to my list? 
Share it with Bre and Lauren!

  2. Ooh, I love the necklace! Although I'd probably get a different chemical. Did you actually buy it and is it turning green? I'm suspicious of $10 jewelry.

    I watched the first episode! I was struggling a bit - I think being a new mom made me unreasonably emotional when she gets her child taken away. It's definitely interesting and I love comparing tv shows to books but I don't know if I'll make it past the hormones. :P

  3. Ummm I think I need those slippers. I am so lazy and cat hair is everywhere. I also love Poshmark and that even if you get lazy about it, you might still sell things (happening to me right now). Thanks for linking up!

  4. Those slippers are genius!!! I have the shaving cream on my list to pick up after Stephanie's post and glad you approve too. That pan sounds awesome and I like the price! I need something larger for my one pot recipes too.

  6. Love the caffeine molecule necklace! And that's a great use of the bench. Mine has extra blankets in it but I should probably store sheets in it... since it is in my bedroom.

  7. I store my sweaters in a bench too. And it's what the dogs use to get up on the bed. LOL

  8. Let the frying pan change your food life!

    Last year I realized all my shorts had become completely inappropriate (running made my butt bigger, and I hadn't gone shorts shopping in years) and had to get rid of them all. I've only found one pair so far this year that I like/that fit me, and they're denim Bermudas. I usually hate denim but I've worn these a few times and LOVE them. David teases me about how long they are but I'm just so much more comfortable in longer shorts now. #gettingolder? also, my thigh gap has shrunk and short shorts chub rub is not a good time.

  9. I am definitely curious about Cremo now! Think I may just have to check it out.

  12. So much to discuss! First, I'm so glad you like the molecule jewelry! Sweetest Roses is my IRL friend's business. :) I need to try Creamo!! I love those Bermuda shorts. I'm on episode 5 of Handmaid's and need to find the time to finish the series already! How did you like it compared to the book? I was thinking about reading it afterward.
