weekending & things I primed in June

 

Happy Monday, friends! I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for today's blog post. I'm also linking up with Tanya for the second half of this post, where I share about recent Amazon purchases I've made. I'll jump right in! 

I started my weekend by driving home from the beach. Did you catch my bonus Saturday post? I shared about my beach getaway last week. Click here to read it!  As much fun as I had, it is always so great to be back home. There truly is no place quite like it. I was met with a bunch of excited pups! I also got to spend a little bit of time with Jonah's baby girl, Chloe. Look at her sitting so pretty!

She's in the adorable phase of playing hard, then crashing. She's precious! Her name is Chloe, in case you missed that last week. And if you're keeping count, she makes the fifth dog in our home. I have a really hard time saying no to them, especially because they're all so great at helping out around the house. In the grand scheme of life, what is one more since we already have four?

My handsome guy worked that night and sent me this.

Please never tell him that I share these! 🤣 

I tried watching a couple of movies, but nothing stuck for me, so I gave up and watched old episodes of Grey's. I went to bed pretty early, because I was tired and super achy from the drive home. I slept so good that night! Do you miss your bed so badly when you travel? I love ours. We have one of those memory foam type mattresses. 

I met up with my mom and Trish on Saturday. It was good to see them! We went to a shop kind of nearby that Mom needed to go to, and I looked around at their pants. I'll probably go back and find some for fall in a few weeks, even though they're a little pricey. I need really good quality pants, and I know that I love the J. Jill brand. I love shopping their clearance sales too, but they didn't have much of a selection when I was there. After that we went to lunch at Jason's deli, then we browsed at Marshall's. I didn't get anything at all while we were out, I was truly just there to see them. Todd and I went out that evening for some errands, then we went out to dinner at our favorite local Mexican restaurant.

And we ended the night running errands. We ran to Costco, then Kroger, Academy, and Walmart. We said we would never again end our date night with a trip to Walmart. I really hate that place! The only way I can stand it is to place an online order, which I did yesterday. I won't go into details, but know that the #peopleofWalmart are really a thing. I was at church early on Sunday, where I ran the front of house screens again for the congregation, then I came home and crashed. I didn't rest at all Saturday night/Sunday morning, so I don't know if it was me being tired or the heat and humidity making me feel bad, but I didn't feel great after church. I did seem to get better after I ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich on wheat bread and two pieces of Babybel cheese for dinner. It may also be that I haven't drank enough water, and it made me feel bad. I don't know, but I was glad to be feeling better. For the rest of the afternoon/night, my husband worked a shift with the sheriff's department, and I watched Gilmore Girls. 

And now onto the Amazon Prime Purchases for this month...click on each picture to be taken to Amazon in a separate link. 

First up this month was this replacement visor.

This is my second one from this brand. My other one is a brighter blue, but it tore, and I like this faded look more. Here's a picture of me wearing the hat last week.

I love it!

Next up are these packing cubes that I love.

I don't know why I waited to so long for these, but I got a color we could all use at separate times when we travel.

Next up are these sports bras I got to wear at home (and out sometimes). I love them!

They're super plain and simple.

I was influenced to get this, so I used a gift card I got from a student at school while I was working. I like this product a lot! I have to be careful not to use too much, and to distribute it evenly over my face, chin, underside of chin, and maybe even to my neck. 

This was the morning after I used them for the first time. I used too many drops! The key is to start small. I felt like the Ross spray tan episode on Friends. When you use this product, the more time that goes on, the darker your skin turns. I think I used 5 drops the first time, but after that, I switched to 3 or 4 drops mixed in with my moisturizer before I go to bed at night. I actually haven't used them a lot recently.

And lastly, and just because I know some of you love to know this kind of thing like I do, I found these recently and LOVE them. The quality feels way better than the inexpensive price leads you to think they'll feel, and I am about to order some more. 

I never share such personal things here, but I appreciate finding out about something I may like, and I feel like comfy underthings are super hard to come by. Anyways, what did you purchase recently that you love? Do I need to know about anything? I also use Kindle Unlimited and regularly purchase books when they go on super sale or when they're free. I'd also love to hear about your weekend! Thanks for reading my blog, friends! Love to all.
