August Favorites

What a crazy month August has been! I can’t believe it’s time for fall! The change of seasons always gives me an excuse to buy new clothes, redecorate, and just generally get my life together. I thought I would share a few of my favorite things I’ve found/used/loved this month.

Vanilla Island Lotion

I stumbled across this lotion while shopping at Harmon’s the other day and it is my new favorite! I’m pretty picky when it comes to vanilla-scented things, but I’m pleased to report that this one is a clean, fresh vanilla, not a thick, butterscotch vanilla. The actual lotion is great, too. It keeps my legs smooth all day (which is no easy feat) and the smell lasts forever. #winning
Harmons, $15.00 


Fringe Studio Notebook

I was shopping around TJ Maxx when I found this notebook and I’m not kidding when I say I’m obsessed with it! The cover is made from a soft, faux leather material and the pages are really nice and thick. I know this sounds crazy, but I swear my handwriting is better in this notebook. I love it. (I can't find a picture of the actual notebook I bought, but TJ Maxx had a bunch of them!)

TJ Maxx, $6.99


Body Kindness by Rebecca Scritchfield, RDN

This book was LIFE-CHANGING. I started reading it because I wanted to develop a more positive pregnancy mindset and I was not disappointed. The author takes a really holistic approach to health -- she addresses nutrition, exercise, sleep, as well as self-care, relationships, sexuality, and goal-setting. I read it through once, and I’ve referred to it about a thousand times since then as I’ve tried to make small improvements in my healthy living. As a designer, I really think the book is worth buying because it’s just so beautiful! The colors and typography are just so lovely.

Barnes & Noble, $14.99


A New Day T-Shirt

Target has a new line of clothing called “A New Day” and this shirt was only $8! I haven’t worn it yet, but I love the color and pattern so much.

Target, $8.00

Biore Charcoal Scrub

This could really go on a “Favorites” list every month because it is my go-to face wash. I love the salicylic acid combined with the exfoliating beads. It always leaves my face feeling fresh WITHOUT drying it out or giving me excessiveness redness.
Target, $7.99
My coworker shared this article with me and I thought it was so profound. I’m such a people pleaser, I literally need someone to give me permission to say no, otherwise I totally overwhelm myself.


e.l.f. Lip Scrub

A few months ago my friend/makeup artist/life coach Jocelyn did my makeup and had me use a MAC lip scrub to get all the dead skin off my lips. It worked so well I was determined to find a dupe for what she used. This E.L.F. lip scrub does the job! You literally rub it all over your lips and then the sugar dissolves and your lips are fresh as death. And it’s only $3! Run, don’t walk!
elfcosmetics.com, $3.00


I think those are all the favorites I have for you this month. I’m determined to find a fall candle to share next time, so check back and see what I find!
