Lately In My Amazon Cart

Amazon Hauls· Life· Style

Anyone else take advantage of their Amazon Prime Membership possibly too much?

If there’s two places where I can blow my whole paycheck without thinking, it’s Target and Amazon. Unfortunately, there is not a Target super close to my apartment anymore (I mean it’s like 25 minutes, so I just don’t go to kill time or for whatever now), so it seems like my bank statement is often dominated by Amazon purchases.

Okay, I may be over-exaggerating a bit (I DON’T HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM OKAY?!), but I really do love the convenience and how you can find literally anything.

I figured I would share some of my recent purchases that I have loved!

1. L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara

I have tried a billion types of mascara. One of my all-time favorites is “They’re Real” from Benefit. Amazing brush. Amazing formula. I just don’t like spending $24 on mascara.

Therefore, I am forever on the hunt for a dupe! This is my favorite so far. Really good formula that doesn’t flake and lasts all day. Brush isn’t exactly like Benefit’s but I actually really like this one! But the brush is softer than Benefit’s; however, you get similar results!

Get it for under $10

2. Rockland Carry-On Luggage

Remember the days when your first checked bag was free on your flight? Now it’s around $25 per bag, so when Garrett and I went to Mexico last month, we were more interested in spending $100 on an excursion rather than our checked bags. We both needed new luggage anyway, so I got us these carry-on size bags and they are actually very roomy. Relatively inexpensive, but they have held up really well so far!

Get it for around $40-50

(Note Lola’s side eye because she knows when I pull these out that we are leaving her and she HATES it haha)

3. CUPSHE Quiet Elegance One Piece

In case you haven’t already gotten the memo. One-pieces are in this season. I’m a super big fan of this one from CupShe. I’m wearing a size small for reference.

It’s SUPER flattering because of the tie in the front, but you could also tie it in the back to mix it up. But fair warning, it may not be for you if you have a larger chest!

Get it for under $30

4. Enso Silicone Ring

Silicone rings have been super popular lately. I first started seeing a lot of people wearing them at the gym, but when I started working at the hospital, I noticed that everyone was wearing them. For a long time, I wore my wedding band and engagement ring, but then one day after working with some particularly sick people, I thought about what germs may be living around my diamond. I haven’t worn my rings to work since haha

This silicone band is cute, comfortable, and easy to clean.

Mine is in the color pink sand. Get it for under $15.

I’ve never been super intentional about decorating I’ve never been super intentional about decorating my bedroom but with baby number 2 on the way, I now recognize that I need a lovely space to rot in the newborn bubble 👶 today I’m tackling bed styling (we have a king sized bed for reference). I tried my best to keep it on a budget bc WHYYYY are pillows so expensive??? #bedroomstyle #pregnancy #roommakeover
I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/hi I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/high protein breakfast muffins often in my first pregnancy and honestly have enjoyed them well beyond pregnancy! They’re only 5 ingredients and give the bready texture I was missing when I had gestational diabetes. It’s kind of similar to a sausage ball! I normally eat 2-3 muffins for breakfast as each muffin has about 7 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein!

5-INGREDIENT SAVORY BREAKFAST MUFFINS
* 1 pound of turkey sausage (or whatever type you like)
* 4 eggs
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 cup Kodiak cake baking mix
* 1/3 cup cottage cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray
2. In a pan over medium heat, add the sausage and crumble while cooking. Cook until no longer pink. Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.
3. In a bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat. Add shredded cheese, kodiak mix, cooked sausage, and cottage cheese and mix well (mixture will be thick)
4. Fill the 12 prepared muffin cups evenly with the mixture.
5. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on top

Recipe Notes
If meal prepping for the week, store leftovers in a container in the fridge. You can heat by microwaving for about 1 minute. I prefer to reheat them by microwaving a couple for 15-30 seconds and then pop them in the air fryer at 350 for 3-5 minutes.

This year I made a felt crown for my son’s birthda This year I made a felt crown for my son’s birthday and it wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it might be!

What I ate in a day at 22 weeks pregnant with a hi What I ate in a day at 22 weeks pregnant with a history of gestational diabetes (my doctors have asked me to be carb-conscious because of my history!) PSA: I’m not including vegetables (unless they are starchy) in this carb count bc my dietician said I don’t need to count them 😌

Breakfast: breakfast burrito with egg, @jonesdairyfarm chicken sausage, tomato, and avocado (I know I should switch to a lower carb tortilla but just let me have this one indulgence lol) + sugar-free @coffeemate in my coffee

Snack: @costco brand protein bar

Lunch: Cannellini bean salad (about 1/2 cup beans in this serving) with tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, olives, feta, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt/pepper + 2 mini naan bites

Dinner: crispy chicken cutlet topped with Caesar salad (love the @chosenfoods dressing) + side of strawberries 

Bedtime snack: @fairlife chocolate milk 🥛❤️🍫

When I had my first child, I underestimated the po When I had my first child, I underestimated the power of a peaceful bedroom to recover postpartum and exist in the newborn bubble. It might sound kind of silly, but I want to create a peaceful haven in my bedroom for postpartum because the newborn trenches are tough! 

I’m going for neutral in here, but more layered, earthy, textured and elevated (without feeling formal). Next up is styling my bed, giving my nightstands and dressers and makeover, and lots more decor and styling! #homediy #pregnancy #bedroommakeover #bedroomdecor
#SecretDeoPartner On days when I don’t initially f #SecretDeoPartner On days when I don’t initially feel my best, I try to be intentional about doing simple acts to turn that feeling around: putting on a cute outfit just to wear around the house; decorating for fall (arguably) a little early; or wearing an amazing scent. The Secret Cocoa Butter Invisible Solid is my FAVORITE, and its all day freshness gives me a boost of confidence throughout the day. #RomanticizingLife #ToddlerMom @secretdeodorant
