Favorite Amazon Buys

I am always curious what other people buy at Amazon.  It can become an addictive site because they literally have everything.  I order all my books and cookbooks from Amazon but wanted to share a few other items that I love.  Many of these I order on a regular basis and some are one time buys. 

Amazon



The best make-up remover ever.  I cut mine in half to last for more than one use.  Super moisturizing and they get every bit of make-up off. 


 I swear my hair has come in fuller since taking these.
I am obsessed with these pens. I am such a nerd but these really do write the best.

The price is always better on Amazon for white strips.  I use these 2-3 times a week and they really work.



I ordered 2 of these and I am loving them.   Super soft and I swear they help keep your hair looking good the next day.

Sterling and Frances Moon love these building blocks.  They will sit and play with them for a long time.   They make great gifts too!  They also come in a bigger set as well.

This thing is amazing.  I never use an iron anymore.  It is perfect for getting out wrinkles and I love the compact size which makes it easier to store.  It is currently 64% off too!

I learned about this gadget in a cooking class almost 3 years ago and it is still a favorite kitchen gadget.  It is great for chopping herbs, nuts, onions and even making small batches of salsa.


These knives will change your world.  They are amazing.  They make chopping so effortless.  These are the 2 I use most often, worth every penny.


The set of these is so much cheaper on Amazon.

This was one of my favorite suits last summer.


also comes in this gorgeous rainbow color on sale.

My sister had these in NYC and they came in so handy.  It was nice to have the option for longer length cords.  My outlet is not near the bed so I love having a longer one to reach my night table at night. 


I am head over heels in love this.  I have been using it everyday.  It blends perfectly and clean up is so easy.

I love this quinoa.  It is already cooked and all you do is mix the topping in.  I mix it up often with my Greek Salads or just eat it alone for a quick and easy lunch.
What are your favorite Amazon Buys?

Thoughts For Thursday

Happy Thursday!  I can't believe this is last Thursday of the month already!

I finally decided to cut a few inches off my hair yesterday.  I was nervous but glad I finally did.  It feels so much healthier.

Several of you asked about my sunglasses in the picture above.  They are only $24 and I love the larger size.  They come in a few other colors as well.   Also loving my new Anna Beck ring, I adore her jewelry.  My nail color is OPI Taupe-less Beach.
Sunglasses | Ring I also love this style

Last night was my monthly girl's supper club.  We tried out Aya in Mt Pleasant which was delicious.  I had the Ramen Bowl and Avocado tacos and both were so good!

Outfit Details
This ruffle tee is only $35 and also comes in a blush pink color.  I went with a size medium for a boxier fit. 

I snuck a ride on Sterling's 4 wheeler and I gotta say those things are fun.

Barre Class details.  I loved my black leggings like this so much I bought the navy as well.

I tried a coffee spot this week, Rise Coffee Bar on Wentworth.  A friend recommended their almond latte and it was so good!

I mentioned before I am revamping my master bedroom.  A few pieces have started arriving and I am getting so excited about it!  
We found a heart shaped strawberry in our carton.  How cool is that?

This little lady has so much attitude these days.  Gotta love her.

For some reason our hall bath tub water was not heating this week so I had to improvise and bathe Frances in the kitchen sink.  Not gonna lie it was kind of nice I could cook dinner and watch her at the same time.  I remember when I was young my grandmother always bathed us in her sink and we loved it. The Beauty Counter kids collection is my favorite, I especially love the conditioner for Frances.

I seriously can't get enough of Parenthood.  I am already worrying what I am going to watch when it is over.  I look forward to getting in bed and watching it every night! I just love all the characters.   Any other Netflix favs?

Have a great day!
