Fun Finds on a Friday!

I've decided to post about some stuff I am loving that is NOT related to babies for once! Happy Friday!

1. Bath and Body Works Strawberry Basil foaming hand soap.
I love Bath and Body works soaps and lotions. I can't do floral scents because they give me a headache, but I love food and fruit scents. We always use their foaming hand soaps in both of our bathrooms, and this is one of my new favorites for summer. It smells SO good and I need to go back and buy some more. I also love their Peach Cilantro and Peach Bellini scents.

2. Smith's Rosebud Salve
I used to use this a lot when I was younger, but then I forgot about it until recently. I bought this 3-pack from Amazon and I'm currently using the strawberry one. It smells so good and really moisturizes my lips. I am addicted to lip balm and I like the staying power of this one. I've also heard of people using this stuff as blush, but that's an acne flare-up waiting to happen for me.

3. Starbucks
This isn't a new find, but I wanted to declare my love anyway hahaha. We go to Starbucks almost daily because I am obsessed. My favorite drink is a Grande, iced, decaf, skinny, mocha (pictured above). I do switch it up sometimes in the summer and get a passionfruit lemonade iced tea which is very refreshing.

4. Organix Moroccan Oil
I have oily hair, so I figured the last thing I needed was to ADD oil to it. However, people on Twitter and blogs have been raving about this stuff, and when I found a formula that said it was good for all hair types, I decided to give it a try. I only used a little bit and found that my hair was a lot softer and shinier. I did not notice any extra greasiness. This stuff was only $8 at Walgreens and it will last a long time.

5. OPI "Strawberry Margarita"
A summer favorite for my toes! I love how bright it is. Another summer staple is "Cajun Shrimp."

6. Maxi Dresses and skirts.
I never really wore longer dresses until this year. I love Maxi dresses and skirts because I can still look a little dressed up and not worry about flashing my ass while juggling Landon and all of the gear he requires. Target and Old Navy have some really cute stuff right now. I just put in a Target order for 3 dresses including the one above (I really wanted it in black, but it was sold out in my size) and I can't wait to get them! I got this skirt from Old Navy weeks ago in both the warm and cool color combos and I love it! I received lots of compliments when I wear them and I don't get too hot in them.

7. Chocolate Red Wine
A friend recommended this to me and I was intrigued so I ordered a bottle. I am not a wine drinker at all. In fact, the only red wine I like is in sangria. I enjoyed this, but I got buzzed off of one glass because I am a lightweight. It's a nice dessert treat once in awhile and I really liked the hint of chocolate I got in every sip.
