Prime Purchases

I was really good about not making any unnecessary purchases until about the end of April. And then, well, I wasn't! About half of these were gifts were others, and the rest just made me happy :) Also, number #1 way to make a blogger actually USE products s/he has recently purchased? Have him/her write a post about it! At least that's what happened with the last mask and brow gadget! Read on for more purchases I made this month! 

Candles- I saw this on FB and sent it to Blue since she was having a rough week. She immediately texted back saying that she "needed" it. So I found it on Etsy (it was sold out on Scary Mommy), and then I got myself a little one too so I could score the free shipping :) 

Quarantine T-shirts and wine socks- IG got me! I saw a B1G1 sale on an IG ad for 21 Threads so I purchased 2 t-shirts, one for me and one for Blue, and of course socks because they showed up as an add-on item and really, how could I not?! (She obliged!)

The Essential Tarot Kit,  Chakra Mineral Starter Set, Herb Starter Kit- The first two were my Mother's Day presents to my mom. She has recently retired, and mentioned several times about wanting to learn more about crystals and tarot cards. The herb kit is for my friend's birthday who mentioned wanting to start an herb garden. Can't say I don't listen!

Therabox Heating/Cooling Gel Eye Mask, Self-Care Sticker Book, and Subscription Box- 
I originally went on to the Therabox website to get a one-time subscription box as a gift for my niece. But then I noticed the cute kitty eye-masks and Blue had been complaining that she lost hers, so I got her one (and one for me too, obvi), and the sticker book because... well, stickers! The eye mask is GREAT, highly recommend. You can take the gel part out if you're just trying to keep sunlight out of your eyes in the morning, but it really is relaxing if you cool it down (or warm it up, though I haven't tried this yet). 

Finishing Touches Eyebrow Hair Remover - You guys, my brows have been out of control. I always wait a little long because I usually wax and it's easier (and less painful) when the hairs are a bit longer. I had an appt to get them done, but then we got locked down and no salons have been open since. I've never tweezed and wasn't about to start now, and I have a Twinkle but I couldn't get shape I wanted without taking off too much. And then I found this... it's AMAZING! It's painless (my biggest worry), and the little light attached really helps to see what you're getting (and not). I sprayed my face with Mario Badescu facial spray with aloe, herbs, and rosewater afterwards to calm any redness, though there wasn't much. Again, highly recommend!

Formula 10.0.6 Charcoal Peel Off Mask - I had a plan to use up all my current masks, but I realized that they are all sheet masks and after trying one again recently (first time was last Christmas), I remembered that I hate them. They don't contour to my face and I don't feel like they actually do anything. I'd been wanted to try a charcoal mask for awhile, so I grabbed this up as soon as I saw it was restocked. Were you one of those kids who loved smearing glue all over your hands, waiting for it to dry, and then slowly pulling them apart and picking off the remaining glue? (Spoiler alert: I was.) That's what this was like. Except, ya know, also taking all the gross stuff out of your pores at the same time. 

Electronic Cat Toy- Keebler's 8th birthday was April 17th and we always get him a little something. I may need to order some catnip to put inside it though because right now he's not very amused. Hey, they can't all be winners!
