BEAUTY
I love this lip duo! They're super hydrating and feel like a balm on your lips and they have the perfect amount of color.

I've been using RevitaLash for the past year and it has made such a difference in the length, thickness, and curl of my eyelashes. It's never bothered my eyes and it lasts forever, it's definitely worth the price!

I use this salt scrub every single night. Not only is it an amazing exfoliant, but it also makes a good daily mask. I leave it on my skin for about 10 minutes each night and it has helped to heal my skin so much. Salis is also a local company that uses all natural ingredients, which I love!

Weleda came out with a "light" version of their original moisturizer and I love it. It's lightweight, but still very moisturizing. I haven't had dry skin since I bought it.

I recently bought Tan Luxe spray and it's been a game changer. Self-tanning has never been easier - plus it's hydrating and smells amazing.

WEAR
Maybe the best purchase I have made all year. The softest and most cozy robe, and on sale right now!

Just got a new, pretty bag from @bembien. I wanted an elevated, everyday bag that was put together enough for work and useful enough for diapers and picnic supplies. A simple nylon bag liner fit easily. I love it! Happy to support a small, women-run business, too

My new favorite pants! They are a non-wrinkle material and look so cute with just a simple tee! They also come in two different colors that are both super cute.

My current favorite bag! I love the leather straps. It's perfect for summer and the neutral color goes with everything.

I got this swim suit during my travels and have truly fallen in love with it. It’s such a flattering fit and material.

I found the most comfortable white summer skirt. It’s super lightweight, goes with everything, and it even has pockets.

White shirts
I love a good v-neck tee and this is one of my favorites - it washes like a DREAM. In fact, it might even get better with washing.
REC: MARIANNE BROWN /FOUNDER
While I do love a crisp, bright white t-shirt, sometimes you need something that has a little more depth or warmth. This one is my favorite ivory t-shirt. It'll be the best $12 you'll spend, I promise.

This is one of my favorite tees. It's a lighter weight, so even though it has longer sleeves, it is still comfortable in warmer weather and can then be layered in cooler months.

My go to white tee! It's not see through and it's super soft. I love how it has a more casual look and light vintage distressed detail, it's perfection.
REC: MADDIE KIENE / LEAD DESIGNER
I love a slubby tee. This one from Buck Mason washes well and has a nice drape to it. It's not see-through, but not fully solid. A great boyish vintage tee vibe.
REC: MARIANNE BROWN /FOUNDER
I've been wearing these Everlane tees for years now! They're always what I reach for. They're 100% cotton, crisp, and not too sheer. I also love the solid neckline and mid-crop length to swing above or tuck into my high waisted jeans.
REC: MADELINE BECK / DESIGNER
Just ordered this white button-up to wear to the pool. Perfect for achieving the trendy “coastal grandmother” vibe for the summer!
REC: GEORGIA BARNES / LEAD DESIGNER
This is another one of my favorite v-neck tees. The fit is amazing and it's solid so you don't need to worry about it being see through at all.

READ & WATCH
I found these little art books last weekend and have been loving them. They're a fun little coffee table accessory and are such a good price. There are a lot of options, so you can pick your favorites.
REC: PAIGE HILLE / DESIGNER
I loved this book! It’s a cheesy, coming of age love story that is super easy to read. It’s a great summer read. If you like Emily Henry books, you will love this one.

recipes
I made this recipe into cupcakes for my 3-year-old's birthday and it was absolute perfection, everybody loved it and I can't stop craving it. I used a coffee substitute and must emphasize not to exclude that ingredient (whatever you use). Double the frosting!

I made this for dinner recently and it was so delicious! The rub on the salmon was so unique and yummy and the salsa was the perfect topping.
REC: ANNIE EICHERS / DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
One of my favorite summer recipes! It's easy to make and it's delicious. I love to pair it with grilled salmon.
REC: CAMBRI VISSER / DESIGNER
An easy and delicious summery salad with a serious wow-factor. It has minimal ingredients, doesn't take long to make, and is light and refreshing.

This has seriously been my favorite kitchen tool of all time. I’ve practically stolen it from my sister and used it every day since. It’s perfect for stirring in supplements & electrolytes to water without any of those nasty powder chunks.
REC: PAIGE HILLE / DESIGNER
One of my favorite recent purchases for my home. It’s not only pretty, but incredibly functional. We keep pastries and fruit in it on a daily basis.
REC: MARIANNE BROWN /FOUNDER
I’ve been using this for a little over two months and have noticed such a difference in how I feel. I can't recommend it enough!
REC: COURTNEY PALMER / LEAD DESIGNER
These placemats are so cute and perfect for adding a little bit of texture to your table setting. I’ve loved using them for outdoor dining this summer!
