Recent Amazon Favorites

 Rounding up my recent favorite Amazon purchases today, honestly what did we do before Amazon Prime? 😉 Couldn’t live without it now!

+ hip band: This band is specifically for thighs and I love it because it has a lot more resistance than my rubber resistance bands. I use this for so many different exercises at home/while traveling – great for squats and building/toning the booty! It doesn’t roll up which is great because a lot of bands tend to do that on the thighs.

+ gallon water jugYou have definitely seen this by now, we are obsessed ;). This gallon jug keeps me accountable, and makes it easy to stay on track with water intake throughout the day!

+ The Daily Stoic bookI love this book and read it every morning. It takes 5 minutes, The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises. The description says by following these teachings over the course of a year you’ll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well. Yes please!

+ sports bra (Lululemon dupe!)This bra is amazing and such a great dupe to one I have from Lululemon! I did go up a size – I’m usually a small, but the medium was much more comfortable – the straps on the small felt too tight.

+ leggings (another amazing Lulu dupe!)My mom gave these to me for Christmas, and I love them! They’re a realllly great Lululemon Align dupe for 1/2 the price! I got a size x-small.

+ back massagerThis thing looks so weird lol, and I have to explain it to anyone who comes over and sees it. But…it’s aaaammmaazing! My back gets so sore and this massager feels so good and is designed so you can rub your own back! Honestly, one of my favorite purchases so far this year lol.

+ resistance bandsThese bands are so great for home and travel workouts. So many different exercises you can do  – tons of great options here.

+ wine chillerMy parents got this for me last year, and it was the best gift ever! I’ve been using it a lot lately because we’ve been entertaining more now that the weather is getting warmer. If you open a bottle of white or rose, all you have to do is pop it in this cooler, and the wine will stay cold for hours! It’s great for summer – wine stays cold all day long at the pool. No ice needed!

+ smart sweets gummy bearsI randomly came across these on IG, and ordered on Amazon immediately. I have the biggest sweet tooth, and whenever I’m on track with my eating and workouts, I usually self-sabotauge and binge on candy. I wanted to find something that could satisfy my candy cravings without ruining my diet. I’ve tried healthier/natural options (fruit with dark chocolate etc), but sometimes I just need (ok, want) candy. Yes they are expensive for candy, but IMO they are worth it! They taste so good, each bag is 90 calories, full of fiber (so very low in net carbs unlike regular gummy bears), and free from artificial sweeteners. For my chocolate cravings, I found these chocolate/peanut butter cups. Same concept, they are so good! I thought these products might be too good to be true, so I reached out to Tanya Zuckerbrot, RD (F-Factor Queen – since these both have a lot of fiber I knew she’d be the one to ask), and she assured me these are fine to eat and told me to enjoy them! OK, that was all I needed ;). I try not to have them daily, but when I’m really craving candy they fully satisfy!

+ citrus juicerOne of my favorite kitchen gadgets! I don’t know why it took me so long to purchase one of these, but it’s life changing! You get so much more juice out of your lemons & limes it’s crazy.

+ art setMy girls love to color more than anything, and this set is full of everything they need! Plus, it’s easy to keep everything organized so crayons are markers aren’t just shoved in a box – love this thing! It also makes a great gift.

+ travel makeup caseI forgot to share this when we were in Miami, but I bought this travel makeup case after seeing it on Amy’s (Fashion Jackson) instastories. It is really great for traveling, fits all of my makeup, has a spot for brushes/liners/etc, and the compartments are customizable. You can adjust the size/layout inside which is great. I’m never worried about  my makeup or containers getting broken during travel because everything is super secure, and the case itself is solid, not flimsy like a lot of makeup bags.

+ no-show socks: These are the best no-show socks ever! They cover a good amount of your foot, don’t slip off in your shoes, and they’re super comfortable! I ordered another pack because I love them so much & wear them every day. Perfect to wear with Golden Goose or any other sneakers!

+ memory foam mattress topper: Linking this again because I’ve been getting DM’s about it. This memory foam mattress topper took our guest bed from hard as a rock to temperpedic dream in 30 seconds! I got the thickest option and it was such a great purchase!

+ Egyptian perfume oil: I bought this after seeing it on The Skinny Confidential, and it did not disappoint! I’m obsessed with perfume, and picky with my scents. Apparently this is the perfume Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy wore. It smells so good, and you can get it for $16.
