Recent Amazon Favorites

I don’t know about you but I love to see the random things people purchase on Amazon and what their favorites are. Here is my list of items I have been very happy with recently.

  1. Bamboo ‘Cotton Rounds"‘:

    As I mentioned on IG, as a way to track one of my 2020 goals of making more sustainable swaps in my everyday life, I am switching up something every month. In January I bought these reusable and machine washable natural bamboo cotton rounds and I love them! They are bigger than disposable cotton rounds which makes them great for removing makeup and applying toner!

  2. Glo Minerals Pencil Sharpener:

    If you love jumbo pencil-type lipsticks, i.e. Nars, Glo Minerals, etc, you need to have one of these pencil sharpeners. It’s the perfect size and works so well!

  3. Glo Minerals Suede Matte Lip Crayons:

    These are my favorite lip products for brides because they look so special, but are never too intense. The formula is perfect for a wedding day because they are comfortable but stay on really well. I love the shades “Monogram” and “Trademark” for my brides.

  4. Conair Fabric Defuzzer:

    This is another ‘gadget’ that every woman needs to own, especially if you are a thrifter! It’s a great way to clean up and bring some loved and pre-worn pieces back to life. Let’s also not forget how satisfying it is to shave your clothes and watch them appear neater. My people who love power washing and vacuuming will get this! haha

  5. Popsocket:

    I have been a faithful popsocket lover for a couple of years now and I have noticed how much more comfortable using my phone is when I have one. It SAVES your pinky. Now that I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max too it’s especially helpful because this phone is huge and heavy.

  6. Book Dart Bookmarks:

    I technically bought these for Mikey for his birthday to go with a book I got him but since the set came with 18, I asked if I could steal one and I am obsessed. If I ever lose mine I will buy my own set, because they are amazing. They are so thin and sleek in your book, but hold your exact line where you leave off…if you are one of those crazy people who can stop reading in the middle of a chapter!!! I am not…haha

  7. Washi Tape:

    There is something about washi tape that makes me super happy. I use it in MANY things. In my planner, to wrap presents, to decorate cards, etc. I just love having a diverse supply of colors so I can always have something that works on hand.

  8. Gold Necklace:

    I bought this necklace to test out the quality and see if I like this trend of many layered gold necklaces and I’m pleasantly surprised with how much I love the quality of it. I was expecting my neck to turn green but thankfully it hasn’t! I never take it off along with my other gold necklace and it still looks beautiful.

  9. Stasher Bags:

    Stasher bags have changed my life and I have several now. I love how I can throw them into the dishwasher to clean them which not all reusable bags can do. They are great quality and I also love that they come in many different colors and shapes. Adding more to my collection is also on my list of sustainable swaps this year!

  10. LED Book Light:

    I have only had this book light for about a week but I’m already obsessed. It grips onto your book easily, is rechargeable with an included USB charger, and it has 3 light settings which are awesome! If you need a book light, I highly recommend this one!

My Holiday Wish List

Can you believe it’s almost Christmas?! I can’t. I’m not a big Gift Guide person, but I LOVE reading what people are actually wishing for this holiday season. For this reason, I’ve created a list with links (click the titles), of some items I’d be so grateful to receive this year. And YES I totally realize this is not a very FUN Christmas list, but when you’re almost 30, the holidays become a time when you’re excited to fill your home with things you actually need.

PLANNER AND PEN ORGANIZER:

I am planner obsessed. I would be nowhere without my planner that I hand write in every day. For the past few years I have created my own customized planner from Maydesigns, but this year for 2020 I purchased a dated and already designed planner (More to come on in a dedicated post soon). I am so excited for my new planner but it’s one downside is that it doesn’t have a space for me to hold my pens and stickers and such. Therefore, I’m asking for this organizer so I can put my planner inside and carry everything I need with me wherever I go. Any guesses as to what planner I decided on? Stay tuned until later this month to find out.

BOOK BUCKET LIST POSTER:

I purchased the movie version of this poster for Mikey last year for Christmas and we are still obsessed with it. Since we know what a reader I am, I also am hoping to get this one (cough, dad or Mikey, cough). I love that these are more interactive than a traditional list and they make a great stocking stuffer too! (Hint hint as to what post is coming next week….)

SOURDOUGH BREAD MAKING SUPPLIES:

One of my big goals for 2020 is to perfect how to make my own sourdough bread. Good bread making is a true art and I have been waiting until I am debt free to purchase the supplies to get started on this goal. There are some basic supplies you need and I really hope I get some of them.

GIFT CARD TO THRIFTBOOKS.COM:

Are we shocked at all that this is on my list? I will never stop buying books and I LOVE buying them through thriftbooks so that I am purchasing secondhand!

BOOKLIGHT:

I can’t believe I don’t own a book light but I figured it was time I ask for one. Very often I’m reading in a room that is dim at night and I hate turning on big and bright lights so I can see better. This one from Amazon looks nice and adorable.

RUNNING SOCKS:

Yes I actually have socks on my Christmas list this year. Hahah talk about feeling almost 30! My favorite brand has been discontinued but these pairs look similar to the ones I love. I prefer a tab on the back of my socks for optimal comfort when I’m running or cycling.

APRON:

Would you believe that I don’t own an apron? I guess I just embrace the mess when I’m cooking, but since I started Biscuit Sunday a few months ago, I have decided that it is time to own an apron. I love the look of a neutral gray or cream apron!

What is on your wish list this year? Leave me a comment below and let me know! I am doing my best to gift as much as I can from small businesses or secondhand ways. Don’t forget to shop small this holiday season and support those you know and love!

Have a great holiday season,

Andrea
