summer favorites 2021

 Hello! Things are finally starting to slow down here as our main summer traveling and craziness is over and Hailey has began her training at home for her missionary service for our church. I'm hoping to get back into a regular blogging schedule! 

Today I'm sharing favorites from this summer while we still have plenty of summer to enjoy. 

* I got this cabinet at Target for our entryway to give it a little update. It has been out of stock but you can sign up for an email when it comes back! I have loved it.  The Studio McGee plant on top is another favorite and probaby one of the best faux plants I have seen but it may be discontinued. Target has some amazing faux plants right now -- I saw these in store last week  for $5 and they are perfect for placing on a shelf or nightstand for a little green.

* My SIL Jamie got me hooked on this salad and it has been a staple for the summer. Simply take some greens, this garlic herb goat cheese (I find it at Walmart in the deli section), and Brianna's Blush Wine Vinaigrette, and add some nuts, apples, berries, whatever you have on hand. Yummmmm.

* Nike Court Legacy Sneaker! Comfy, go with almost anything, and wipeable leather. ♥

* I have been pairing this concealer (fav!) with this Maybelline BB Cream. It's light, fresh, and has sunscreen and the medium seems to be the perfect shad with slightly tanned skin. 

* To get that little bit of sunglow I don't sit out in the sun but I do love to use Jergen's Natural Glow for the face a couple of times a week.

* This Casaluna Clarity candle! My favorite candle of the summer -- the smell and throw are awesome and the scent combination is fresh but soft and smells like a fancy hotel. LOVE ♥ A little pricey but it has lasted me 2 months already with frequent burning.

* The Downeast demi tee. I wish I looked like this when I wear it but I actually wear it UNDER things -- a dress with low armpits or a blouse with a low plunging neckline. It's light and and not a full on tee so it's perfect for summer and a wardrobe staple for me and my girls that have served missions.

* Folex Carpet Cleaner! My sisters shared this on our AZ trip and it really is amazing. Buy it at Home Depot or Lowe's for $5.99 instead of Amazon's $12

* Time and Tru Tiered knit dress. Everyone had this at the Anderson reunion this summer. Comfy, lightweight, fun colors, and $13?? Add to cart! 

* Hearth and Hand Oil Cloth Tablecloths  I got these last year and they are the best for outdoors. Wipeable and they have weighted magnets in the corners!

* Herb Scissors: I got these from my MIL Danielle and didn't even know what they were. But they are the best for cutting up basil, cilantro, parsley, or other herbs into the small,  pretty strips. 

* a family favorite: Telestrations! My stomach hurts after playing with my kids because some of us are not as talented in the art department which makes for some crazy games. We even taken pics of our favorites for a Telestrations hall of fame that I need to make into a book. This is the best price I've seen in a long time! ($12 --not sure how long it will last)

Thanks for stopping by to see summer favorites! I'm sure I'll think of more as I'm puttering around the house and will add any as I think of them. Happy Summer!
