June Favorites!

A peek at everything I loved in June 2024!

FOOD

Salt and vinegar pistachios snack packs. Okay so this has been one of my favorites forever – but I didn’t know it came in the snack packs! Love them for grab-and-go snacks.

The Federalist Sauvignon Blanc. I rarely recommend a specific wine, but this is the epitome of summer. It is delicious and has so many hints of melon, grapefruit and berry. It’s been a huge party favorite!

Canada Dry fruit splash cherry ginger ale. Repeat offender because THIS IS SO GOOD. I don’t even love carbonation and soda but this is out of this world. Everyone who has it at our house loves it.

Lavender syrup. I have made my own lavender syrup for years but finally bit the bullet and grabbed this one with the pump. Not only have we been using it for coffee – we’ve been putting it in lemonade! Emilia loves it too.

HOME

Zero gravity chair set. Okay I’m cheating because I’ve only had this for three days. But they surpass my love for most things this month! We literally set them up in the living room to try and fell in love. I didn’t want to move them!! We have them outside now and I can’t get enough.

Boll and Branch waffle blanket. I bought new bedding and have been trying to make our bedroom more “zen” since we moved. I found this on amazon because this brand makes our favorite sheets. Wow – I am blown away by this blanket. It feels amazing. This is going to be one of my go-to house warming gifts for family from now on. It’s awesome.

BEAUTY

YSE Beauty Skin Glow. I’ve been using this for a few months and I adore it. I don’t use it as a primer, and it doesn’t have enough coverage to be my real makeup if I want a full face (or even half a face). But for everyday use, or when I’m just doing skin/lashes/lips, this is perfect. It still shows my skin but adds a very pretty glow. Doesn’t migrate into my eyes either.

Olive and June The Queen Takes Her Tea With Milk polish. I am obsessed with this. It is the BEST neutral shade for my skin tone. It’s like nail concealer. I love it so much and it’s the shade I’ve been looking for my entire life.

Beauty of Joseon relief sun SPF 50+. This is a repeat fave because I LOVE IT. I’ve never been so consistent with my sunscreen. This is the best I’ve ever used on my face and under makeup.

Dior Addict Lip Glow in Lilac. My favorite balm in this lilac shade is everything I’ve ever wanted. A little cool toned, but still pink. Gorgeous, easy to apply and looks like nothing, but better.

FASHION

Amazon sleeveless tank. I’ve raved about this for weeks in my summer fridays post, so it’s only natural it’s a favorite. It’s like a bodysuit, but it’s a tank top.

Larroude Milan Jelly Sandal. This is my new go to flip flop that can be fancy or casual. Perfect for traveling. I love it and want it in every color now! I currently have nude and black.

Athleta Elation Dress. This is my current dress of summer! I’ve loved the athleta presidio dress for years. This is different and so good – almost more like a tennis dress, but can also look slightly dresses up. Super comfortable too.

La Blanca one piece swimsuit. I’ve had this suit for a decade but bought a new blue version. It’s so pretty and comfortable.

Cropped zip up hoody. I didn’t want to buy the lulu version of this, so I tried this amazon one and I love it. I leave one in my car to grab it when going inside cold AC.

MEDIA

Swan Song! How could I not choose Elin’s last Nantucket book for my favorite of the month?! It was always meant to be.

My summer fridays playlist. It’s a good one to have on repeat.

KIDS

Blue Lizard spray sport sunscreen. This has been my go-to for the kids this summer and even they can put it on. Doesn’t get in their eyes and doesn’t sting!

Aquaplay waterbox playset. Jordan and Emilia have been loving this. Think of it as a travel water table! It folds up into this briefcase-like box and we have been taking it to the pool – they will sit for an hour and play with this! We also have the non-travel version and they love that too.

Uno Attack. This is another repeat. One of you suggested this after I mentioned how much we are loving playing Uno every night as a family. We play 10 or 20 games some evenings! This version is not the classic, but it’s super fun!

Ponycycle. We got this for Jordan for his birthday. It is definitely a splurge, but hello #thirdkid and we have every toy. I love that it isn’t motorized – it’s a push bike! He LOVES it. My old kids even love it. It’s a gigantic hit!
