June Favorites.

A peek at everything I loved in June 2023! 

FOOD

Trader Joe’s Snacky Clusters. Oh my gosh, these are SO good. They are so crisp, crunchy, salty and sweet. And perfectly bite-sized.

Fairlife shake + cold brew combo. I mentioned how much we loved the fairlife protein shakes a few months ago, but now I mix it with cold brew and I am loving the combo! It’s great in the morning or afternoon.

Blackberry Lemonade Waterloo. Eddie and I both love this flavor so so much. We basically fight over them. It’s delicious! Perfect blend of lemon and blackberry.

HOME

Stemless margarita glasses. I didn’t even know these existed until I found them. Margaritas are my favorite drink and these are too cute! I bought six of them.

Aura frame. A repeat mention, but worth a million mentions. For the millionth time, this is the best gift ever. We just gifted one over the weekend and it’s such a hit. Perfect way to share pics of the kids. And even the kids love seeing what photo pops up next.

Water bottle strap. Emilia needed a water bottle strap for a camp so I got this – wow it’s perfect. The length is adjustable and you can carry it a few ways. So great for the kids, I ended up getting two more!

BEAUTY

Rare Beauty Mesmerize Highlighter. This is my product for everything this summer! I’ve been using this as an eyeshadow and it is stunning. Then I also use it as a highlighter. It’s the prettiest light pinky shade. I also love this formula – it’s so smooth and silky.

MD SolarSciences tinted lip balm. Another repeat but I’ve been loving this balm with color + SPF for either outdoor baseball days or swimming. It feels so good on too. I have the shade “dream.”

Lake & Skye 11:11 perfume. I only got the travel spray of this but OMG I love it. It’s very warm and musky but doesn’t have any vanilla or sweetness to it. It’s so good and could even be considered a unisex perfume. These and the sol de janiero ones I mentioned last month have been on repeat.

FASHION

Sam Edelman Perla Slides. Bought these back in the spring and they are my favorite easy slide right now. I love that they are nude but have something sparkly and special – so many people ask about them. They are also on sale now!

Off the shoulder sweatshirt. In my efforts to look like Kelly Kapowski 99% of the time, I had to get this. I am sweatshirt obsessed. Graphic sweatshirts, amazon sweatshirts, vintage sweatshirts, beach sweatshirts. I want them all!

Hoka Bondi 8. Best supportive shoe EVER for working out, walking, being on your feet all day. I love these so much. I wouldn’t call them fashionable but… worth it.

MEDIA

Books, Beach and Beyond Podcast. This is Elin Hilderbrand’s new podcast and I am so excited about it. The first episode with Taylor Jenkins Reid is so good!

Same Time Next Summer. My favorite read of June so far! Really loved this one.

KIDS

Rainbow loom. Max is obsessed with the rainbow loom. Right now he’s wearing about seven bracelets up his arm – he only takes them off to shower. It’s super cute. And he loves making them for other people!

Ice pop holders! Oh my gosh, this is saving us so many paper towels. These are basically popsicle koozies and we love them so much.

Bentgo chill boxes. If we go to the park, pool, etc, I always fill the kids’ lunchboxes. Even if it’s just with snacks. And now I’m doing three! I love the bentogo chill in the summer. These were especially great a few nights when I took Emilia and Jordan’s dinner to Max’s baseball games. My school lunch favorite is the yum box, but these are excellent for hot weather.
