K18 AirWash™ Dry Shampoo
I am admittedly a total dry shampoo snob, but the K18 AirWash™ Dry Shampoo has passed my test with flying colors. It goes on wet but dries almost instantly, absorbing oils and refreshing my hair without leaving a white residue. This gem truly extends the time between washes better than any other dry shampoo I have tried.

Hulken Rolling Tote Bag
This is the definition of something I wish I bought sooner. I had been eyeing this rolling tote bag for months, and I’ve seriously used it every day since it arrived. It’s incredibly spacious, and the wheels make it easy to transport groceries, laundry, and other everyday essentials. I can’t believe I waited so long to get one. The medium is the perfect size for me!

rag & bone Miramar T-Shirt Minidress
Months ago, I fell in love with the viral sweatpant jeans, and they recently released a minidress in the same fabric. I swear I’ve worn it on repeat since purchasing it. It has the same comfortable feel as sweatpants while still looking effortlessly chic for everyday wear. Dress it up or down, it’s such a timeless closet staple for spring and summer.

Laura Geller Anti-Hot Flash Setting Spray
I have never been much of a setting spray fan, mostly because none of them really worked for me. However, the Anti-Hot Flash Setting Spray has quickly changed that. I spray the fine mist as the final step in my makeup routine, and it keeps everything in place throughout the day, even in the Texas heat and humidity. My daughter loved it so much that she bought one of her own.

Laundry Sauce
It’s no secret that I love a new laundry find, and this brand has earned a permanent spot in my routine. I use the Egyptian Rose laundry pods and sometimes add the scent boosters for enhanced fragrance. It’s such a luxurious scent that isn’t overpowering. Not to mention the dryer sheets, which smell incredible and minimize static cling better than most. I truly cannot recommend Laundry Sauce enough.

The Stand
When it comes to my list of things I wish I bought sooner, this knife stand is near the very top. Very few kitchen finds have added this level of ease and convenience to my daily routine. It’s a magnetic block that keeps my knives easily accessible while storing them in such an aesthetically pleasing way. Psst, the white ash wood is finally back in stock. See it in my kitchen here.

VERSED Tinted Lip Serum
I thought I lost this lip serum recently and panicked, which is exactly why I bought two more as backup. It’s incredibly nourishing and gives the most fabulous glossy finish. I love that it applies softly rather than sticky and offers the perfect balance of shine and subtle color. The shade Bake is a beautiful everyday neutral and such a great price point.

ARMRA Colostrum
After two months of taking this colostrum, my daughter and I have both noticed such great improvements in digestion, bloating, gut health, and immunity. We started with the travel packs as a trial run and loved them so much that we upgraded to the jar. An added bonus is that the unflavored version is truly unflavored, with no unpleasant taste. I cannot recommend ARMRA enough.

Thirdlove TempSync™ Wireless Plunge Bra
I am extremely particular when it comes to bras, and I can honestly say this one has everything I look for in a bra. The wireless design makes it incredibly comfortable while still offering a surprising level of support. It’s made with TempSync™ fabric, which helps combat hot flashes and regulate body temperature. It truly keeps me cool, comfortable, and supported even on the warmest Texas days.

Bel Air Ranch Seasoning
Though this isn’t a new find, this seasoning got its fair share of use this month. It’s been the most incredible addition to my weekly crockpot chicken. It’s made with clean, high-quality ingredients and adds such an incredible depth of flavor. You can use it as a steak rub, on roasted veggies, dips, you name it. It’s definitely a kitchen staple of mine.
