Prime Finds from August

Y’all know how much I love Amazon. This is my family’s monthly Amazon prime order. It’s totally random, but ya never know what you might “need”! ;)

leather backpack

I loved my sister’s leather backpack so much that I decided to order a similar one for myself for school. Backpacks are so easy to carry & can fit so much! I’ve gotten tons of compliments on this one & I can see why! I absolutely love it.

skin serum

We were #influenced for this skin serum. My sister is trying it out & so far she is really liking it! She is not known for consistency so it’s taking her a little bit to get a full review back to me lol! They say it is great for acne, acne scars & sun spots as well as a good hyrdrating serum. I hope to let you know more about it soon! But in the meantime, it has great reviews & is super affordable, so feel free to just give it a try!

Update, my other sister ordered this as well, as she was not a fan as she felt like it was drawing out some junk & causing several small pimples. She stopped using it after a couple days. My mom is going to try it now since most people are raving about it!

rain jacket

I was looking for some rain jackets for my cheerleaders & came across this one. I absolutely loved it! I thought the quality was great for the price! However, our administration decided to go with a local company instead of Amazon. If you are looking for a good rain jacket/wind breaker I think this is a great option! It definitely fits oversized.

kids face masks

Our school is not required to wear masks at this time, but there are times when I am extra close to students or when we are having an outbreak that I want to wear them, plus we have to wear them in school vehicles. I really like the disposable ones but found they were just too big for me, so I ordered this package of kid sized masks. Absolutely perfect! I even took some to my sister to try since they have to wear masks in campus buildings. She was a big fan too!

mindful coloring book

We had this mindful coloring book for kids sent to a friend who had it on her teacher wishlist! I haven’t seen it in person, but it looks like it would be great for kids!

kindle

If you have been here a while, then you know that I LOVE my kindle paperwhite. I was skeptical in the beginning but then my mom got me one & I have been hooked ever since. The convenience is so worth it & I have found that I don’t miss holding a regular book like I thought I would. My mom & I kept trying to convince my sister to get one & she wouldn’t do it. Well fast forward a few months & she decided that having a kindle to take to college might be a good idea since she wouldn’t have much storage space for books. & guess what? She loves hers too! Are you a kindle fan or do you prefer a book?

This is not an amazon purchase, but I just had to add in a link to my kindle cover because I love it so much!

colorblock sweater

This darling colorblock sweater is from Amazon! I’ve shared this sweater before in some other colors, but this colorblock style is new so I wanted to try it out. The details in this sweater are sooo good — from the super subtle side slit to the open seam stitching on the sleeves! Great quality & super thick material. I don’t own anything from Free People, but I’ve heard that this is super similar to some of their sweaters, for a fraction of the price. I’m all about that!

Sharing some pics of how I styled it here..

redken hairspray

I was getting really close to being out of my hairspray, so I did a question box on Instagram for people to give me their favorite recommendation. This one was sent in a few times so I decided to try it first! My honest opinion is that it’s a very soft hold & it smells great. I was just looking for something that has a stronger hold so I’ve been using this one on the days when I’ve put my hair up & a soft hold will do just fine.

sister mug

My sweet sister left me this mug with a card when she left for college. So precious & I am so thankful for her!

denim shirt

Y’all know I love me some leopard & I just love how cute & unique this Amazon top is — I haven’t seen anything like it! The fabric is actually pretty comfy & it feels like a really soft denim jacket. It gets a little bit longer in the back which I actually really like because you can wear it with normal leggings or some faux leather ones (that would be so cute!) & it’ll cover your booty! I paired it with my cognac mules (also from Amazon) because there’s some cognac-colored stitching on the pockets & love how the brown tones accent each other. This one is so stinking fun!!

Please excuse the wrinkles, I was so excited to try this one on! Sharing some pics of how I styled it below.

odor elimnator

I’m incredibly picky about how my house smells. Any of you relate to that? I have one cat & in her mind, the house is HERS & I’m just living in it. I like having this on hand for times when I feel like I could use it. Some other sprays leave a chemical smell, but not this one!

journal

When my mom moved my sister, Bethany into her dorm, she left this journal on her desk with a note about how there will be hard times in some days & some whole days that just feel hard, but there is always good if you look for it. She challenged her to write a few good things in this book every day so she can go back & remind herself on those hard days. I just love that!

childs toy block sorter

I ordered this wooden block sorter for my cousin’s sweet little guy on his first birthday!

loungeset

Super comfy Amazon loungeset! It’s super lightweight so it’s perfect for right now since we’re transitioning to fall. At least, I’m trying to even if the weather doesn’t agree with me lol. The two pieces come together, I’m wearing a medium (which is my normal size in loungewear). The pants have a functional drawstring & fit true to size. The top has a wide neck which would be a cute way to show off a cute sports bra or bralette. I love this light heather grey color & my mom got it in light blue! I feel like you could totally wear this top as a normal shirt, especially under a vest & it would be super cute. I love finding pieces that I can wear in multiple settings!

Below is a pic of how I styled it.

sensory toy

These sensory toys were another item on a teacher wishlist that my family ordered for someone. Also, I have these & my students LOVE them!

kindle charger

That sister that ordered the kindle I talked about earlier forgot her kindle charger at home when she moved to college. It was just easier to order another one then have my parents mail hers to her.

Forgiving What You Can’t Forget

My mom ordered this study guide that she is using for a bible study she is doing with some friends. If you have some unforgiveness towards someone in your heart, she highly recommends!

diploma frame

Since I graduated with my masters last May, I needed to add that diploma to the wall in my office, so I ordered this frame, which matches the one I have my undergrad diploma in. I love having it up in my office to show my accomplishments & have conversations with my students about hard work!

Here are a couple pictures of that area of my office.

spark energy

Back in the summer, I ordered the variety pack of these energy drink mixes. After tasting them all, I decided my favorite was the fruit punch. Now that I made my way though them all, I decided to just order a container of my favorite. I love the taste & the extra boost of energy, which is much needed being back in school!

Mindset book

My sister had to order this mindset book for one of her college classes, but honestly I think I would like to read it too!

corduroy button down

I’ve seen some different people sharing corduroy button-ups & figured I ought to try out the trend. You can wear them like they’re cardigans, or button them up so it’s its own shirt! I got a small & would say it fits oversized, but I think it’s supposed to. Loving the side scoop & the tortoise shell buttons. I love how comfy & casual this is!

Sharing a few pics of how I styled it below.

sunglasses

Yes, yes you have seen these exact sunglasses several months in a row lol! My sister broke them, so she ordered a new pair. Then she lost that pair in the ocean on her trip to North Carolina, so she ordered another pair. Then she left that pair on the ground & my dad stepped on them. So here we are, another pair! Good thing they are so affordable!
