Spring Favorites 2020: What I'm Loving Right Now

WELL.

It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these style posts, eh? It’s not for lack of interest ok.

I’ve been a liiiiittle busy over here launching my new signature mentorship program, SHE THRIVES ACADEMY, and taking my first two waves of amazing women through the program.

But more on that later.

While the monthly favorites is a little tough for me to commit to right now, I think seasonal favorites might be a good compromise?

So. Without further ado, here are the things (from skincare to makeup to snacks, to books and beyond) that I’ve been loving lately!

HOUSE + HOME

Compostable, non-plastic sponges

We have been REALLY trying to cut down on our use of plastic in this house, and I recently found these plastic-free sponges and have been really impressed with their performance.

They are as sturdy and durable as the sponges you know and love, they don’t smell or do anything weird, AND the extra bonus is they are packaged and shipped 100% plastic free as well.

Friends Tea Towels

What’s not to like? Jam? Good. Beef? Good.

If you know, you know.

Yes you probably need these.

BUY

Crystal Prisms

I recently hung one of these in my kitchen window and have been living IN RAINBOWS ever since. These beauties refract the light in such a lovely way and it’s just a nice little touch to have some dancing colors around the house on sunny days.

This set is less than 10 bucks and comes with two crystals, a polishing cloth and line to hang them.

BUY

Rebounder

While I have been making my way back into the gym, I have been sticking to hypertrophy and staying away from heavy or high intensity cardio.

I decided this would be a fun thing to have at home that will allow me to get my lymphatic system moving without it being high impact, and I love having this around!

Especially if you work from home: this is a great way to break up your day and get your (creative) juices flowing, PLUS: how can you NOT smile while jumping on a trampoline?

BUY

P.S. I have been back on THE BIGNESS PROJECT program and its official: its still awesome.

CLOTHING

Free People Cami

True story: I have this top in almost every color and I wear them all the time. I have been asked regularly on Instagram where these are from, and so I wanted to include them here!

These do not have any bra liner or support and I don’t wear anything under them, but they are so comfy without compromising cute. (Just don’t put them in the dryer or those tiny little straps will die).

BUY

SKINCARE + MAKEUP

OLE HENRIKSEN Dark Spot Toner

To be honest I have really come to love this entire brand of skincare. This toner is one of my newer additions to my cabinet and I’ve been loving it.

It is designed to lighten up dark spots or discoloration, and has a subtle but noticeable zing on the skin.

I don’t use it every day, but I use it a couple times a week when I feel I could use a little extra pick-me-up.

BUY

OLE HENRIKSEN Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme

Did I mention I love this brand?

This night cream has a naturally derived alternative to retinol, so if you have sensitive skin or are choosing to avoid retinol for any reason, this might be a good alternative for you to try.

This is definitely one of my favorite night creams I’ve tried and the first tub I have lasted ages! Time to re-up!

BUY

Herbivore Prism Mask

If you’re looking for a great new mask, this is my newest addition and so far I have been loving it.

It gives your skin a quick hit of some glow-inducing acids and I mean the packaging makes it almost a decor item to your bathroom.

BUY

CHARLOTTE TILBURY Hollywood Flawless Filter

Fam, lemme tell you: I am QUITE the connoisseur of glow products of every origin and variety. I live for this shit.

And this product right here might be one of my all time favorites.

This stuff is sort of like a liquid highlight and a foundation combined, and I use it almost every day: I put a TINY dab on each cheekbone, blend it in, and then apply concealer under my eyes and a brow, and poof- I’m done. And I look like I just drank 5 gallons of water. SHE IS HYDRATED + GLOWY OK.

10/10 recommend this stuff, and even though it’s pricey, it comes in a HUGE bottle that is sure to last you a while.

BUY

FOOD + DRINK

Soda Stream

Honestly the amount of La Croix I go through in a week (or… day) is something I will keep to myself, but suffice it to say, I realized that I REALLY did not want to be creating the amount of waste that I was by plowing through cans.

Enter: The soda stream. This guy is not only saving us $, but makes my sparkling water habit nearly waste-free.

BUY

BETTER BITES Chocolate Chip Do Bites

Ok so even though I have some issues with their branding (can we lose it with the moral connotations when it comes to food please tysm), these are seriously my newest obsessions.

I keep mine in the fridge because I like my chocolate crunchy.

They have other flavors/styles and they all get my stamp of approval!

BUY

Habanero Ranch Dressing

I put this shit on everything.

I mix it into salad dressing vinaigrettes, I dip pizza in it, I just think it’s the best.

I highly recommend!

(Also their Poppy Seed dressing is a delight)

BUY

French Flour

Full gluten flour that doesn’t fuck me up. This French flour has been such a fun thing to find and I have been loving getting to make my own breads and baked goods and eat the REAL DEAL goodness.

Note: experiment with this at your own risk. Contains hella gluten. Not for those with Celiac.

P.S. I get asked all the time so gonna leave this here: My go-to bread recipe
