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.

Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy with my son, I’m being carb-conscious while I wait to take my glucose test at about 24 weeks pregnant. I’m roughly following the guidelines I was given back in 2022, but obviously not monitoring blood sugars at this time since I don’t officially have a diagnosis at this time. Hopefully this gives you some meal and snack ideas if you are being carb-conscious or have gestational diabetes! #gestationaldiabetes #pregnancy #whatiatetoday
I had diet-controlled gestational diabetes with my I had diet-controlled gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy, so once I found I was pregnant with my second child, my doctor asked me to go ahead and be “carb-conscious” and try to roughly follow the diet while I wait to do my glucose test at ~24 weeks. 
Since I’m not checking my blood sugars rn, I’m trying my best to count carbs, adjust my portions, and make low-carb swaps where I can, with the knowledge that IF I get a diagnosis this pregnancy, I may have to adjust this diet further to reach my blood sugar goals. I’m also  trying to make my diet as nutritious as possible for myself and baby but in a realistic way! #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic #pregnancy

I do think this is a good way to ease myself back into the diet in case I do test positive again. I’m still letting myself enjoy what I want rn but I’m adjusting my portions and making low-carb swaps where I can! Also trying to make this diet more nutritious, but clearly my food aversions are still hitting, so I’m just trying my best 🤪 #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic #pregnancy
baby #2 loading… ❤️ After having a difficult firs baby #2 loading… ❤️

After having a difficult first pregnancy and difficult postpartum, getting to a place mentally to feel ready for another pregnancy/postpartum took more time than I ever expected, and consumed me with a lot of anxiety. And then I faced conflicting feelings of sadness of not having the smaller age gap we originally hoped/wanted for our kids. Thankful for a supportive husband, 📣 THERAPY 🗣️, prayer, and friends who listen, to work through the hard stuff, get to a better mental space, and to feel peace to do this again.

This baby is truly so loved already and we cannot wait!!

Let’s cook some raspberries up and make some raspb Let’s cook some raspberries up and make some raspberry-fudge pudding popsicles with a secret healthy ingredient 🤫🥑

RASPBERRY FUDGE POPSICLES 🥑🍫
Raspberry Part:
-~6 oz of fresh/frozen raspberries
-2 tbsp of sugar (I used coconut sugar)
•add raspberries and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and let boil for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often to get a jammy consistency

Chocolate Part
1 avocado
1/2 cup milk
2-3 tbsp cocoa powder (depending on how chocolatey you want it!)
Splash of vanilla
Pinch of salt
Maple syrup to taste
•add all to a blender and blend until smooth

•layer chocolate and raspberry portions in a popsicle mold. You can use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the layer a bit before adding sticks and freezing for at least 6 hours
•you may need to run warm water outside of your molds to help remove the popsicles when you’re ready to enjoy ❤️

This makes 6 popsicles with the molds I have but it may vary depending on the size you are using. You also may have leftover raspberry sauce!! It’s really good on Greek yogurt for a parfait or on ice cream 😉 #healthydessert #kidrecipes #toddlermom #easyrecipe
