Hi friends! It’s been awhile! I’m sorry that I left you hanging — I had good intentions to share this post back in January. But the past almost two months has been a blur. More on that in a bit! Today I am back with my best Amazon purchases of 2020. Amazon came in super handy (especially during the early days of the pandemic) and some of my favorite Amazon purchases ever happened in 2020. Here is a recap!
1. gold foil leggings | 2. pearl embellished boots | 3. detangling brush | 4. body wash | 5. lipgloss | 6. animal print silk face mask | 7. colorblock pullover | 8. animal print blanket
While 2020 was a different year (in many regards!) there were still a lot of favorite products purchased across those 12 months! You can see last year’s round up here. And while the products were a little different from years past — think cozy, stay at home products — these are a few of my favorite finds of all time! Here are my best purchases of 2020:
Leggings were the pants of choice in 2020 and these are some of my favorite yet! I have raved about this brand before, but these gold foil leggings are my latest find. This gold foil print makes working out more fun. I love to wear it with the matching sports bra and a black tank!
The perfect way to dress up an outfit, I first fell in love with these pearl embellished boots during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. When I first saw them, they reminded me of the Gucci pair, at a fraction of the price! Super comfortable and by far my favorite shoe purchase of 2020. I’m usually a size 9.5 but I sized up to a 10.
My detangling brush that I have had for years broke in half (!!) and I was in desperate need of a new one. My hair gets super tangled when I get out of the shower and I usually have to use a detangling spray to get my hair in order. But, with this new detangling brush, it works so well, I don’t even need the spray!
If you follow along on Instagram, I talked a little bit about this brand on Friday. I had seen so many ads on Instagram for this brand, I finally decided to give it a try. I will say, for body wash, it is pricey. That was one of the reasons why I was hesitant to try it. But, after using it, I’m hooked and completely believe all the hype with this brand. A little goes a long way and bubbles form pretty easily. I can’t believe how soft my skin feels after using this — I have the most dry skin! It is available in a few scents, including fragrance free, but my favorite is the eucalyptus. I purchased a few other products from the brand since trying the body wash, and everything is amazing!
I bought this lipgloss on a whim at the beginning of quarantine and can’t believe how much I love it! I had planned to wear it as a gloss over this lipstick, but have found myself wearing it over other colors and mostly, on it’s own! The color, $weetmouth, is a shimmering soft pink. This gloss leaves your lips feeling smooth, hydrated (not sticky!), and fuller. I’m looking forward to trying other colors.
I never thought a face mask would make a “best purchases of” post, but here we are! After almost a year (hard to believe) of mask-wearing, I can honestly say I don’t enjoy it anymore than I did in March. However, since masking-wearing has become the new normal, this silk mask is the best I have found. It is soft on your skin (and doesn’t make your skin breakout) and it does a pretty good job of keeping your makeup in place. I have seen some reviews that say your lipstick stays on, but for me, it doesn’t take off my lipstick as much as other masks. And I love that the ear loops are adjustable. Makes wearing a mask a little more tolerable.
One of my coziest pullovers, this pullover has been on repeat the majority of fall and winter. It didn’t get a ton of great reviews, but it’s honestly one of my go-to cozy pieces in my closet. It’s TTS (I’m wearing a medium) and I love wearing it with leggings and ankle boots. Super comfortable for wearing around the house or even out and about running errands. This colorblock pullover is on super sale, so scoop it up while you can!
I’ve been a longtime lover of these blankets (and the brand’s sweaters, socks, and even dog sweaters!) but I picked up this color during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and it’s my favorite yet. We have a ton of these blankets around the house — they are so soft, comfy, and warm! I keep this new one on our bed and Ella has completely taken it over (see above!). Even though she has her own in a smaller size, she always cuddles up in this larger one! There are a ton of colors and prints available, so there is something for everyone!
….
And that’s a wrap on my best purchases of 2020! I will be sharing a best Amazon purchases of 2020 post next week, so stay tuned for that. Thanks for stopping by, friends! I hope you have a great week!
Happy New Year, friends! I’m back to kick off 2021 with an organization series. After spending so much time in our house in 2020, I realized how much more organized certain areas of the house could be. New year, new organizational pieces! First up: the kitchen pantry and spice cabinet.
Happy Wednesday, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, even if it looked a little different this year. Now, with the holiday season right around the corner, my first gift guide of the year is here. It’s been a tough year for so many people, including small businesses. Since March, we have been trying to support small businesses in anyway we can, whether it’s getting takeout from our favorite restaurant or shopping at small shops in the area. As I start to mark items off my Christmas shopping list, I have been trying to shop at small businesses when I can. Today, I am sharing a list of my favorite small businesses (with online shops!) in case you want to shop small this year.
Happy Monday, friends! As I mentioned in a recent post, we have been busy with completing some home projects since we have been home more. Today, I am sharing a few recent finds for the home along with two of Ella’s new favorite things!
Happy Thursday, friends! I’m back with a new post today and this “Currently” post seems fitting. A quick update on what has been going on and a few of my current favorites for August:
Well hello! I feel like I probably need to reintroduce myself given my long absence here on ABM. All I can say is, what a crazy time we are living in! I hope everything is well with all of you — everything here is good! I will recap a little of the last two months with you, but the main reason I’m here is to share some recent Amazon finds with all of you! Since quarantine began in March, my Amazon purchases have accounted for most of the deliveries at our house. Well, and Richard ordering wine haha!
Happy Monday, friends! I’m sorry I left you hanging last week and only shared a post on Monday. There has been a lot going on with my 9-5 job lately but I’m hopeful things will be back to normal soon! Amazon has become one of my go-to online retailers as of late. Not only can you find just about anything on Amazon, you can’t beat how quickly it arrives. Here is a round-up of my January Amazon purchases:
1. anecdote candle (more cute sayings here) | 2. recipe cocktail shaker | 3. travel jewelry case | 4. reusable coffee cup | 5. Palm Beach coffee table book | 6. cheese knives | 7. portable espresso machine | 8. wine chiller (available in several colors!) | 9. travel steamer | 10. glass straws (available in other color combination here) | 11. faux fur throw blanket
Happy Wednesday, friends! Today’s gift guide is all about gifts for the home. Some of these gifts would also make great hostess gifts for any holiday parties you have coming up! And with Black Friday just two days away, I also wanted to share a few early holiday sales that are going on now. I’m sharing some of the best at the bottom of this post.
Well hello, friends! My apologies for being MIA. It has been a rough few months. With a lot going on in just about every facet of our lives, there has been little to no free time to blog over the past few months. However, that is about to change! You can expect my usual 3-4 posts per week to be back with all new content. One of the things that has taken up a lot of my time is working on the house. More on that later, but as we start to make progress with renovations and decorating, I’m looking forward to sharing it with you! Kicking off the home decor series with one of my new favorite “rooms” in the house: the screened in porch.
