I received a POPSUGAR Must Have box in exchange for an honest review.
I have received several POPSUGAR Must Have Boxes and I think this one is my favorite! It is the 5th anniversary of POPSUGAR and the box reflected their big birthday celebration! It also happens to be my birthday month, and it felt like they knew it and sent it to help me celebrate!
Good morning and happy Friday! I love a short week after a holiday, don’t you? It has been really tough getting back into the swing of things this week, so I’m hoping I can get my act together this weekend! Although, we are going on vacation again this week, so who knows? I am really excited for the weekend and hopefully catching up on laundry and cleaning up after a crazy week so that we can go out of town again! Until then, here are some Friday Favorites and my June POPSUGAR Must Have Box review:
ONE.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins THURSDAY!! Eeekk! If you aren’t already a cardholder or don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, read this post and apply for one TODAY because it’s the last day to get it in time for this year’s sale! I have been pouring over the catalogue and am already picking out some pieces for fall! I can’t. wait. We will actually be in Jacksonville for the first day of the early access sale, and I will definitely do a little try on session for y’all on Insta-stories so be sure to follow along on Instagram if you aren’t already!
TWO.
Aveda sent me some products this week and I have been using the Be Curly like crazy! I have loved it because it doesn’t made my hair hard- like some gels do, and it isn’t too sticky. It is great for days that I want to give my hair a break from the heat.
THREE.
One of my best friends moved to NYC last year and she came over for a visit yesterday! We had so much fun! She also has three kids three and under (in NYC!! Supermom!). I really enjoyed catching up with her. It’s great having a friend who 100% gets what you’re going through. haha
FOUR.
You may notice my tabs changing over the weekend. I am excited to change things up a bit and hopefully help you guys find things a lot easier! I will give you a little tour once I’m finished on my Insta-Stories, so be on the lookout!
FIVE. (I was sent this box to review. Get $5 with code SHOP5)
My POPSUGAR Must Have box came in the mail this week! It was such a good one, and I swear, it’s like they know when I am going on vacation. I will be loading up this box to take with me to the beach the week. Here are the items in the June POPSUGAR Must Have Box:
Captain Blankenship Mermaid Sea Salt Hair Spray // Aloha Collection Mid-size Ocean Coco Palms Pouch // Starbucks Frappuccino Coffee Drink // Belgian Boys Mini Cookie Stash // Billabong Aloha Trucker Hat // NCLA So Rich – Mermaid Tears (cuticle oil) // The Seven Husband’s of Evelyn Hugo Novel // MERI MERI Blue and White Party Straws
Top (my favorite right now)
Seriously, it’s like a beach vacay in a box. I am in love with the hat! It is so adorable and perfect for the summertime. I am also excited to take the wet bag with me to the beach and to leave it in my pool bag at home! I know we will get a lot of use out of it. I am really excited to try the sea salt spray because y’all know how crazy my hair can be – especially in the salty air.
As I prepare for the Nordstrom Sale, I want to know what you guys want to see! Round ups? Styled posts? Holiday gift guides, beauty products? Let me know and I’ll add it to my calendar! Have a great weekend!
Lately, our older two kids have been so picky when it comes to food. They used to eat their vegetables so easily and now it’s like pulling teeth to get them to take one bite. Recently, I pulled one over on them. I have gotten away with feeding them vegetables without them ever knowing! Here is how I sneak vegetables into our kid’s diets: Feed them Garden Lites muffins!
It’s Friday and Christmas is only 2 days away!! Who’s ready? We have had a CRAZY week leading up to Christmas. Ryan has been out of town and had lot’s of meetings, so I have basically been doing it alone with the three kids and had them alone overnight for the first time since having Weston and I am Worn. Out. I am planning on resting today because we are celebrating with all of our family tomorrow and Sunday and it will be cuh-ray-zee!!
Until Christmas festivities, here are a few of my favorites this month:
If you’ve been around my blog for the last few months, you know how much I LOVE the FabFitFun box! It is a subscription box that only goes out once a season so it is not overwhelming, but it is also always amazing! They give you full size products, so you get more and the products usually turn out to be some of my favorites. I received my winter box last week and have really been enjoying it so far!
Christmas is finally here! My kids ( mostly Hamp) are so excited this year which is making it even more fun than it normally is! Hampton is so into every detail. He wanted to decorate the tree “by himself” #threenager, and he loves turning the lights on every night! Sophie has learned a thing or two from watching him. I walked into her eating one of my Auburn ornaments. Yes, eating it. Things are looking up, through. She is now only pulling the ornaments off the tree and no longer eating them. Baby steps, people.

Special thanks to POPSUGAR for sending me this Must Have Box! #MustHaveBox
I can’t believe Thanksgiving week is already here and November is almost over! This month is FLYING by for us. With our sweet new baby boy and our big move, we have been so busy and it is making the days go by too quickly. This week is no exception. With all the unpacking we have to do, family photos and family coming to town, we have so much going on that I’m hoping my head doesn’t spin off. This weekend, I received my November POPSUGAR Must Have Box and it was a much needed little happy mail that I definitely needed in the midst of our crazy. This one was probably my favorite out of all of the boxes I’ve received in the past. I LOVE every item.
Where has October gone? My favorite month of the year and it is flying by so quickly. This week has been/will be full of birthday fun for Hamp, fall parties at his school and trunk-or-treat at church! The fun doesn’t stop there. The October POPSUGAR Must Have Box is amazing. I am obsessed with everything in it. There is still time to grab yours for $5 off with code SHOP5!
I thought it would be fun to do a little Instagram round-up today along with a couple of other favorites I’ve been loving lately!
ONE.
Mug c/o My Thoughts Print // Cardigan // Ring c/o
The highs are in the low 70s today and it feels AMAZING outside this morning! I even got to enjoy wearing a cozy cardigan for the first time this season and I am obsessed, OBSESSED with this mug. I mean, Halloween + Pumpkin + Hocus Pocus + Coffee? Yes, please! Jo from My Thoughts Exactly was on point with this one! Thanks for making my morning, girl!
I wrote a post a while back about CARE and I love the help and message they send to people. If you are not familiar, CARE is a global humanitarian organization that fights poverty by empowering women and children through education and by giving them hope. They put women and girls first because they know that they cannot overcome poverty until we have reached social justice and equality. CARE provides clean water to people who need it all over the globe as well as education for girls and many other things. They know that change happens through people, and that is where you and I come in.
