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.

Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every recipe while pregnant 🙂‍↕️

Without toppings, this clocks in at about 7 grams fiber, 12 grams protein, and 16 grams carbs, so it was a perfect bedtime snack for me when I had gestational diabetes!

3-INGREDIENT CHIA SEED PUDDING
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup Fairlife chocolate milk
(optional) 2 tablespoons low-carb vanilla Greek yogurt (such as Two Good)

1. Mix the chia seeds and milk together well— cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Remove from fridge and stir well, taking care to break up any clumps
3. Stir in yogurt and, if desired, top with whatever toppings you want (I love fresh raspberries and chocolate chips, granola, mashed cherries, etc) #fibermax #carbconscious #highproteinlowcarb #hyperfixation #pregnancy
