|The Monday Post| #62

Another Monday, another Monday Post. I feel like I’m kind of in my groove again after the craziness of the holidays. There’s a lot of info packed into this edition, so make sure to check it out 😉

Valentine’s Day Fun

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite products including my favorite sweater with heart elbow patches, along with Sullivan’s matching sweater, a few cute dresses for Savannah, a headband, and fun and festive little plates to eat off of. Check it out above. All you have to do is click on on the image to shop it!

J.Crew Factory

The WINTER EVENT is here! 40% – 60% off EVERYTHING + an extra 60% off of Clearance items + FREE SHIP! Y’all! I added all 5 of these items to my cart and the total is $126! The Puffer Jacket alone starts off at $238. This is an amazing deal. There are plenty of winter and spring styles to choose from and I chose a few of my faves for you!

Air Fryer

This is the air fryer I got for Christmas and I am obsessed! That’s not even an exaggeration! I do not like having kitchen appliances out on my counter tops (other than the keurig and essentials….) but this one has landed on my counter top and stayed! I have used it so much for kid basics like chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries, mini corn dogs. I’ve also made the most amazing pork tenderloin (followed this seasoning recipe) and chicken breast with the Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning. It heats up quickly, and is so easy to clean!

One of the complaints I hear a lot with air fryers is that they aren’t big enough. This is a 6 qt one and easily fit a 1 lb pork tenderloin and (at a separate time) 3 chicken breasts.

Beauty Products

These are just a few of the beauty products I am using right now:

  • Olay Nourishing Body Wash with Vitamin B3 and Hyaluronic Acic – smells amazing, lightweight, leaves you feeling moisturized without having a “coated” feel
  • Blink Eye Drops: Both For Contacts and for Dry Eyes – I wear contacts and my eyes kill me in the winter time. I just went to the optometrist last week and while I have used the eye drops for contacts for a while now, she recommendded I start using the moisturizing drops every morning and night (in sync with brushing your teeth.) This has made a huge difference with my eye and contact comfort.
  • Unscented Aveeno Sheer Hydration Daily Moisturizing Lotion – and speaking of dryness, this is my favorite lotion to use not only in the winter time but summer as well. It is light weight, moisturizing, and doesn’t leave me sticky! I can actually put on leggings or jeans after applying and it doesn’t stick!
  • e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer Small – matte finish that leaves your skin prepped and smooth for makeup application
  • Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector SPF 30 – this is what I wear almost every day. I don’t do my full make up, but this has just enough coverage to make me look like I put in some effort to sit in my home office all day 🙂 It’s super easy to apply (I often use my finger tips!) and it offers SPF 30!

Sweaty Betty Sale

This London-based brand is making it cool to sweat! From their covetable selection of studio-to-street designs and a refreshingly real “gym-to-gin” mentality, their versatile activewear will make you feel amazing! I absolutely love my All Day 7/8 Leggings (that are currently 40% off) and cannot wait to add to my collection. The pricing is a tad high and rivals other brands such as Lululemon, which is why you should take full advantage of this sale at Nordstrom. Click on an image to shop!

Well, friends, I hope you have a great week! It looks like it is going to be gorgeous weather in the Houston area!
