so something that i think would be fun to do is a "friday favorites" post!
pretty much like every other blogger ever ever. #cliche
but there must be a reason everyone does them!
i haven't decided if i'll do it once a week or once a month or just whenever i feel like it.
(or when i can think of enough favorite things to make a blog post and not just an instagram story lol)
enough talk though. here goes the first ever friday favorites, brought to you by linds!
- to kick it off, let's talk lotion. the coconut water and mimosa flower body lotion from love beauty and planet is amazing. i got mine at target for like $7?! it smells SO GOOD. not sure how to explain it, just trust me. and i'm normally a big vanilla lotion smelling person, so this is big that i recommend it.
- TAYLOR SWIFT'S NEW ALBUM LOVER. (yes i am that girl) my favorites so far are i forgot that you existed and paper rings. also lover (the song). i was doubting her after some of the singles she chose to release, but after listening to the album i am dead set on FINALLY going to one of her concerts!
- the past couple weeks, i have been running in my hokas that my mom gave to me. i've ran in nikes basically since i existed, but these have converted me! i also wear them to work cause being on my feet 12 hours a day is NO JOKE. (i actually have the clifton 5. i also have to put in arch supports...can you say overpronation? also didn't realize how expensive they were and how lucky i was to get mine for free hahah)
- an app that i have been loving this summer is the life cycle app. i am obsessed! it's so fun to look at how i spend my time, day to day and week to week. you can pair it with the sleep cycle app that tracks sleep. i don't have a premium membership on either because i am trying to save every dollar for a pretty big purchase i'm in the next couple months, but i would love to get one someday!
- okay maybe i just missed the memo on this one, but one of my new favorite online shopping sites is now the ASOS outlet? shout out to my friend hailey for filling me in on this one. i got a new swimsuit top for $9! and if you're a student, you get a 10% discount AND free shipping! SCORE.
- speaking of online shopping, i have been loving the look of cropped wide leg jeans lately. i don't have a pair yet, but these ones from madewell are so so cute. i need to start donating plasma again so that i can afford them, but maybe i'll find a pair that's a little cheaper first 😂
- anddd back for another pair of shoes. (i have an obsession). platform sandals are the cutest and i will probably never stop wearing them, even if they go out of style. which they shouldn't ever, in my opinion. i ordered these ones off of an amazon partner site earlier this summer because they were actually cheaper on that site! so comfy and so cute. i wear them with E V E R Y T H I N G.
- and another beauty product too. i have been using the nexxus shampoo and conditioner since december! as in, i have been using the same bottles since DECEMBER 2018 YALL. i got it from costco! i love love love it. depending on where you buy from, it can be a little more expensive, but i literally am just now getting to the bottom of the bottles and i wash my hair pretty much everyday. (haters gonna hate me on that. what can i do though). plus the fact that it lasted for reals EIGHT MONTHS?! i'm sold. obviously. hahah
- i have always been obsessed with simple jewelry and made the plunge to buy a necklace that i have been eyeing for awhile thanks to multiple instagram influencers (they have succeeded in influencing me). it's been my favorite piece of jewelry the last few months! again, a little expensive but it's handmade and sterling silver so it's worth every penny!
- and finally, a favorite quote from my pinterest scrolling this week!
i think that this really is the best way to go about living life. i have found that serving other people and trying to make their day a little brighter really will help you to feel more fulfilled and happier.
that wraps up my list of favorites this week!
adios until next time friends (:
