5 Amazon Purchases I'm Loving This Week

Sometimes Amazon just hits. These are five (well okay seven) of my latest heavy hitters I can't stop Babbling about.
Where have these been all of my life?! I thought I found the end all be all last summer when I discovered the Heel Healers (which I still love FYI), but now that I've found the full foot remedy I can't look back. I'm not lying when I tell you after one night using either of these products you will undoubtedly notice a difference. If you're like me and have suffered from weirdly dry, cracked heels and callouses and have tried all the weird cheese grater-ie type things in the shower, lotions and potions and nothing has really worked long term, your magic product has just arrived. Just in time for summer sandal season! I can't wait to hear how much these change your life.
We are going to thank our lucky stars we have this little gem every time we travel or need to do our makeup on the go. I'm declaring this a perfect gift for a girlfriend too (in fact I just bought another for my friend Meghan's birthday this weekend- surprise!). It's really compact, really bright (in fact I've heard that you can use it as a selfie-light if you're so inclined) and multi-use with the regular and magnifying mirrors. Totally reasonably priced and worth every penny.
If you've been following along you know I'm into the soap nail trend. Cute, clean, simple nails and my sister and mom both fell in love with this and sent me photos of their nails and I had to join the club. I really don't know what it is about this simple color, but it is just perfect. A little pinky, a little creamy, a little bright. It is called "Nail Concealer" and I guess that is the perfect name that is exactly how I would describe it. It's like your own nails only better and stronger. This one will never go out of style no matter what the season.
It's so silly I've been searching for a small initial necklace for a bit so it almost feels wrong that this one is just what I've been looking for, but it's SO inexpensive. It is simple and clean and I want to wear it with everything and layer it with all my other necklaces. I really think I'm ordering a second one even though both of my boys' names start with "V". How cute would that be?
At this point, I would buy anything COLOR WOW is making. I've already been all in on the COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray that keeps your hair frizz-free and shiny even in the worst humidity and more recently the COLOR WOW Dream Coat for Curly Hair which I only slightly have curly hair (have you heard of Irish curly hair? Where it's just curly underneath? I think that is the category I fall into.) and it was awesome, but I think it would work better if I used a diffuser and I'm not into that at the moment. This Dream Cocktail has already made a difference in the strength of my hair. So much less breakage and frizzy ends. I am running a TINY amount through my damp hair each day and it is delivering just what it promises.
Bonus Items!!
This is a bonus item because Erika that works for Babble is OBSESSED with this stuff and when a hardcore baseball mom swears by a laundry whitener for all of her son's super stained uniforms, you sit up and listen. I ordered it immediately and have been fielding texts and DMs from other mom's who did the same after she shared the before/afters of her son's uniform when using White Brite and everyone is on board. This is an "in case you missed it" public service announcement. Put this in your cart. You don't need baseball pants to clean, great for sheets, towels, brightens dingy whites, you name it. We all need this tool in our laundry toolbox.
Okay, one more because I want to shout this one from my rooftop! I recently made the switch to stainless steel pans because well, health, but it has been a tough transition. I am bitching on the daily about cleaning these mother effers until I was introduced to this Bar Keepers Friend cleansing powder. I feel like I'm in an awesome infomercial every time I use it. It is so satisfying to try all the other scrubbers I have in my kitchen to no avail and then sprinkle some of this stuff on my pan and watch the grim just come right off. No shit, I laugh every time I use it. If you are transitioning out of our non-stick phase, you gotta have this under your sink.
