Happy Sunday! I hope you’re all enjoying the weekend so far. I started the morning with a walk with our pup, Remi, at the dog park then running a few errands around town. Now I’m back in the A/C trying to stay cool.
Do you have an Amazon Prime subscription? We’ve had ours for a few years. Besides great shows and movies to watch, it has made online shopping way too easy!
I put together a collection of items I’ve purchased from Amazon lately. Everything on this list is an item I own and love. I like when I get recommendations for online products from others, so I thought I’d make a list of items I would recommend myself. Let me know if you have any questions that I didn’t cover! Do you have any of these items? Tell me in the comment section below!
1. Drawstring Jogger Pants
These pants are so good! I love these for days when I’m traveling. The fabric is super soft and stretchy. They keep their shape even after wearing them all day. I like that they are comfortable like a pair of leggings but a bit dressier.
There is an elastic waistband with a drawstring and a soft fabric cuff that makes them look sporty. I pair them with a white t-shirt, a denim jacket and tennis shoes. I get compliments about these pants every time I wear them. I am 5’3 and they sit right at my ankle. They are slightly fitted but not tight and come in 13 different colors. Fit is true to size.
Don’t sleep on these! They’re so good!
2. Scalloped Phone Case
This cute cell phone case is only $13! I love the scallop look and it makes it easy to hold too. I tend to drop my phone more often than I should and this case is doing its job so far!
3. Fitbit Luxe Fitness Tracker
This is my second Fitbit. I had the first one for several years and just replaced it with this one. It tracks your heart rate, sleep, activity level and even your monthly cycle. You can sync it with your phone to receive text messages too. You aren’t able to reply like an Apple watch but I prefer just the notification to one that is more interactive. Plus it is much cheaper and doesn’t require a wireless plan to use it. You can also get different color replacement bands.
4. All-in-One Pan
I’ve only had this pan for a few weeks, but it’s quickly becoming my go-to when cooking on the stove. It’s heavy duty like a cast iron pan without all the upkeep. It’s also much lighter than typical cast iron. It has a non-stick surface free of all the dangerous chemicals which I really like. It is super easy to clean and dishwasher safe. A quick wash with a little soap is all it needs. Besides being a durable multipurpose pan, its also pretty. Comes with a wood spatula and in 7 colors. I have the color linen. Works on all cooktops.
5. adidas Swift Run Shoes
I have these tennis shoes (or sneakers?) in 2 colors. I just recently replaced my old white pair with these. I love the crisp white color with the gold accent. I also have the black and white animal print style. They are all fabric so they are breathable and very comfortable. I’m not a runner, so I can’t say how they perform for that, but they do well for walking or just standing on your feet all day. I go up 1/2 size in this brand, so I’d say if you’re in between sizes, go up.
6. Crossbody Belt Bag
Guys…THIS BAG! I really can’t say enough about how much I love this bag. Let me tell you all the reasons why:
- It’s the perfect size. I can fit my phone, wallet, lip balm and keys without it bulging out the sides or being hard to zip.
- The strap is adjustable so it can be worn as a crossbody or around your waist.
- I always carry this bag when I travel because it sits on the front of the body so it’s easy to access. It’s also safer carried in front as opposed to a purse or backpack.
- It has 2 zipper pockets so I use one to hold my keys and/or money, credit cards and license and the other for my phone etc. If you’ve ever dropped cash or lost a credit card while getting in your bag for lip gloss like me, you see why this is a plus.
- There are 3 mesh pockets inside for smaller items.
- There are 2 zippers on each side of the larger compartment so you can wear it on either shoulder without fear of items dropping out when there’s a zipper that only goes one way. I have the Lululemon version of this bag in black and its a great bag too, but I prefer this one because it has 2 zippers.
- I have this one in beige and light brown. I have both spot-cleaned the beige one and thrown it in the washer and it still looks brand new. Comes in 11 colors.
7. Glass Food Storage Containers
This set has been a great addition to my kitchen. They look pretty in my refrigerator and I can see what’s inside unlike some plastic containers. Plus, if you gone down the rabbit hole of plastic, these are a good alternative. When I was looking for a container set, I wanted to make sure that the sizes included actually held a good amount of food. I can report that I haven’t had any issues with them being large enough. The glass is thick and the lids (which are plastic) have 4 snaps for a tight seal. They can go from freezer to oven but I haven’t tried that yet. I’ve only used them for leftovers but so far so good!
8. Two-Piece Linen Short Set
This is a versatile set. I’ve worn it casually with flip flops and the crossbody bag above and dressy with a small heel and gold jewelry. The top sits at my waist and while its on the shorter side, the shorts are high-waisted so no skin is exposed. The top is a pullover with no zipper or buttons. The shorts are pleated with elastic at the back. Two piece sets are trendy right now and this one is comfortable too. I like that it looks like a romper without being one piece that you have to remove to use the restroom, which I think we can all appreciate!
9. Outdoor String Lights
We hung these string lights on our back patio this summer. I wanted to find a long enough length for the whole patio so I wouldn’t need several strands. Connecting strands together creates about a 3′ gap between lights and I wanted the spacing to look consistent. They’re made of a commercial grade cord and shatterproof lightbulbs so they’re really durable. The warm light creates a soft glow on our patio which we love.
10. Smart Bathroom Scale
This scale does it all but most importantly, it’s seems really accurate. There is an app that you download on your phone, then when you step on the scale, it calibrates weight and 13 other body composition stats. The app charts the changes in body composition in a way that’s easy to understand. Today it’s on sale for less than $22 after you apply the coupon on the page.
11. Weekender Tote Bag
I haven’t used this bag yet, but I love it so far. The fabric is light in color but it has finish applied to make it easy to clean. It has a shoe compartment that is separate from the rest of the bag. It comes with a small bag for toiletries, zippered pocket for wet items and a side pocket to hold a water bottle. The best part is the charging port! If you’ve been in an airport lately, you know that working charging ports are hard to come by. Added bonus, it comes with a luggage strap and it will fit under the seat as a personal item on most airplanes. This would make a great gift for any occasion. Comes in 10 colors.
