my monthly faves: may edition

it’s that time again…here’s a roundup of the 10 things i loved most in may!

1 / arc floor mirror

this urban outfitters mirror is truly stunning, & the perfect addition to our master bedroom! it is HUGE…most mirrors this size (& quality) are at least double the price, so i was over the moon to find this one.

2 / countertop compost bin

i can’t believe it took me so long to start composting! it’s such an easy way to minimize waste & care for the environment. i keep this bin on my countertop, empty it into our big bin outside once it’s full, & the city picks it up once a week with our trash! this one is equally cute & a little cheaper too.

3 / slip on sandals

i’ve officially dubbed these my gardening shoes - so easy to slip on, rinse off & generally just wear every day :) they’re very very comfy. i got the color ‘toffee’ & it’s a lovely rust tone.

4 / speckled ceramic travel mug

i don’t think i’ve ever gotten so many DMs asking for a link before! i get it though. i adore this handmade travel mug!

5 / nontoxic whitening strips

most teeth whiteners i’ve tried hurt me lol because my teeth are suuuper sensitive, except for Lumineux! pro tip: pat your teeth dry before you use them so they stick better. i also love that i can buy them on amazon - use this link to get $10 off!

6 / washable sage makeup bag

i know a linked a cute canvas bag in march…i still love the look of that one but now that i have a makeup-obsessed toddler one…i’ve realized it’s time for a washable makeup bag haha. i’ve been using this amazon bag to store all my makeup & loving the compartments for brushes. (click here for my nontoxic makeup routine)

7 / audwell oslo learning tower

omg. LIFE. SAVER. probably my #1 mom item of 2022 to be honest. if i’m in the kitchen doing virtually ~ anything ~ … Foster wants to see + participate. it’s so sweet! hence why this learning tower is comin’ in clutchhhh. apart from being beautiful, the oslo tower is made from high-quality Baltic Birch and non-toxic finishes & has an adjustable platform height to grow with your little ones. i looked at A LOT of learning towers & this one was by far the prettiest (& obviously so functional). it’s absolutely an investment but since we plan to have lots more babies, we will surely get our use out of it. it’s the perfect, safe option for her to help me stir, pour, & of course make a mess.

8 / samsung cordless + self cleaning vacuum

you know you’re an adult when you have a dream vacuum cleaner 😆 this one is bougie for sure, but as someone who vacuums multiple times a day (with two dogs & a baby, it’s necessary!), it’s soooo worth it. on the medium suction level, it lasts for 30 min. comes with a ton of different attachments including a pet one that i vacuum our furniture with, ANDDDD the cherry on top: the charging dock is also a cleaning station! you pop the vacuum on the dock, press a button, & it empties the canister for you 🤯

9 / aria diffuser

i’ve used & loved young living products for 5 years now (!!!), & my very first purchase is still my favorite…the aria diffuser is truly the queen of all diffusers. runs for 12 hours, multiple light & sound settings, & a truly stunning mist. plus when you use my link to order, i’ll send you a fun welcome package with my fave blue tansy face serum!

10 / flat brim straw kids hat

the absolute cutest hat for kiddos! Foster looks freaking adorable in it, & i can’t wait for her to wear it all summer long.

in case you missed it, i make a highlight for each month’s links on insta - here’s the may links one! see ya next month for the next round of my monthly faves ツ
