The best book. The most velvety eye cream. The prettiest stamps. Fun shorts. Delicious sparkly water goodness. And that’s an overview of some of the things I loved in May. Keep on reading to see why each of these made the list!
BOOK | The Idea of You – OMG OMG OMG this book. It was everything I’ve ever wanted in a book and more. Truth be told, I’m not a huge reader. Yes, I read tons of articles online, but in terms of books – I wish I read more! I know I know, it’s in my control, but simply put, I just don’t finish books often. HOWEVER, everything changed with “The Idea of You.” YUP. I finished it in a day and a half. I could not put it down. I literally stayed in almost an entire weekend just to read it. It’s that good. I learned of it through Grace and Hitha mentioning it, and you all need to read it immediately. In a nut shell, it’s a surprising love story that makes you feel all the feels (I literally had a dream about the characters after I finished the book)! I don’t want to give anything away, so just read it and report back. I want to read it again and I hope it becomes a movie.
EYE CREAM | I have never used such incredible eye cream in my life. I’m a pretty loyal Kiehl’s girl and hadn’t used anything other than Kiehl’s in terms of my eye cream in ages. However, when my dear friend Jule so sweetly gifted me her favorite eye cream, the game changed. I finally finished my Kiehl’s eye cream and started using this MBR (Medical Beauty Research) one last month and I’ve never in my life. It’s velvety, thick, creamy and makes my under eye area feel soooo amazing. A splurge, but worth it.
STAMPS | I’ve mentioned it before how much I love hand written notes, letters, and cards. Yes, I email all day everyday, but there are few things I love more than a hand written note. I adore writing thank you notes, and I think in my past life I owned a stationery store of sorts. And along with letters of course comes pretty stamps!! Am I the biggest nerd that I get excited every time I buy new stamps? Yeah probably. But I don’t care. How pretty are these cactus and flowers ones?!
SHORTS | I’ll be honest. I’m not a fan of Francesca’s. I’m not really sure why, but I just have never ever found anything there. It’s just not my style it seems (though they do have some adorable gift items always!), but recently I walked in just to give it one more chance, and I found my new favorite summer shorts. They are so comfortable!! And the print!! Affordable, too!
DRINK | You know by now how much I love Diet Coke (specifically fountain soda Diet Coke), and while I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give it up (I know I know, it’s not great for me – I’m aware!!), I try to not drink it more than once or twice a day. I’ve tried TONS of sparkling waters and I just have never loved any. In fact, I loathe most (except La Croix – there’s one flavor I love!), but I recently tried Bubly, and I’m obsessed. It’s DELICIOUS and so crisp and the hint of flavor is perfect. It’s certainly NOT a replacement for Diet Coke (because nothing could replace DC, let’s be real), but it’s certainly better for me and I’m happy to incorporate it into my day now when I’m thirsty!
What did you love in May? Tell me! Have a great June. Holy hell, how is it June?!
