EDITED TO ADD A FEW MORE GREAT FINDS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!
Hey Friends!
Happy Amazon Prime Day! I've put together a new Favorite Things post for you, but this one features all Amazon items, since I know that's where a ton of you will be shopping today and tomorrow! As you can see, I'm including all different types of items -- both for men AND women -- and these are all things that we already have and use and love, or they're things that we're ordering ourselves today!
And as always, these links are affiliate links, which means that Amazon will pay me a tiny kick-back if you choose to shop through these links! Thank you so much, if you choose to do that!! Even if you don't buy these exact items, if you use these links to take you over to Amazon to do your shopping, I will get credit for you shopping through my links, so THANK YOU! Bart and I so appreciate your support, in helping me to earn a little income through these posts! All right, let's get to the good stuff, shall we?!
BEAUTY PRODUCTS
1. Essie Gel Couture Long Wear Nail Polish, Pre-Show Jitters - This is still my go-to white polish for year-round wear. It goes with everything and wears so well for so long. I'll link the base coat and top coat I use next, but if I do a base coat, two coats of this color and the top coat, my mani usually lasts about 10 days or so.
2. Gelous Base Coat Nail Polish - I use one coat of this base coat before any nail color.
3. Essie Gel Couture Platinum Grade Finish Top Coat - I finish every manicure with a single layer of this top coat!
4. Oribe Run-Through Detangling Primer - I think I've shared this before, because I've been using it for YEARS now. You don't need conditioner if you use this! Just wash your hair in the shower, and then spray this on when you get out, before combing or brushing out your hair. And it smells amazing....like you just walked out of the salon! I just ordered some more this morning, because my current bottle is almost empty!
5. Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau De Parfum - For Christmas, Bart got me one of those perfume sample packs from Sephora, that allows you to try samples of a dozen different perfumes and then take the coupon in and get a full-sized bottle of whichever one you prefer. This is the one I chose. I've told you before that the one I typically wear every day is Lancôme La Vie Est Belle 'Eau de Parfum. But I've enjoyed having a second fragrance to throw into the mix, so I can change it up some days. These are typically the only two I wear.
6. Philosophy Purity Made Simple One Step Face Cleanser 32 oz JUMBO - I have used this cleanser for at least a decade! I love it so much! I ALWAYS buy this jumbo bottle and keep it in the shower. This way, when I wash my face in the shower, I can take off all of my make-up quickly and easily. The jumbo bottle is usually the best price per ounce, and the pump makes it so convenient. It lasts for a loooong time, when you get such a big bottle, but I love that because then I rarely have to think about it. When I travel, I pump some of this cleanser out into a small container to take with me!
FASHION PRODUCTS
7. Adidas I-5923 Women's Shoes in pink/red - Ok, you know my love for pink and red and you may have seen that Bart just got these for me for my birthday last month and I LOVE them!! They are light as a feather and of course, you know I think they're about the prettiest tennies ever. But if pink and red isn't your thing, they do come in other colors! One thing to note is that they run BIG. I got a half size smaller than my usual shoe size, and probably could have even gone a whole size smaller. The half size smaller works just fine, but there's still a bit of room in them. I will say that this is not a brand new model, so they're selling out everywhere. If you like this one, I wouldn't wait to get it. He had to do a bit of searching around to find these for me.
8. Fossil Women's Georgia Stainless Steel & Leather Watch - Bart got this for me for Valentine's Day this year and I love how it just goes with so much. I've long been a Fossil watch fan! I'm wearing this watch in my Stories today!
9. Genuine Leather Leaf Teardrop Earrings, black and brown - I've gotten several comments on my earrings lately. I've linked some of these for you before, but thought I'd put them here again, to make things easy. These brown ones are what I'm wearing today, that you might have noticed in my Stories on Instagram this morning. I also have these in Rose Gold and in Silver.
FOOD PRODUCTS
10. New England Coffee Chocolate Cappuccino - This is still my favorite, favorite coffee! This is what I have every day when you see my pretty, foamy coffees. And it seems like everyone we serve this to, loves it as well! And check out the price! It's so affordable!
11. Vitafusion Gorgeous Hair, Skin & Nails Multivitamin - I get questions sometimes about what I'm doing to help my hair as it regrows. (In case you're new here, 3/4 of my hair fell out about 6 months after my small intestine transplant, as a result of having anesthesia for 8 hours. Having anesthesia for such a long stretch, can interrupt the hair's growth cycle, thus causing it to fall out months later.) I take this vitamin to help my hair as it's growing back in! They taste yummy and you chew three of them each day. Easy peasy, and my hair is growing back pretty quickly!
12. SweeTARTS Extreme Chewy Sours Peg Bag, 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12) - Ok, so you may be able to just grab these at the store, but I'm linking them here in case you don't want to hunt for them or you can't find them. So far, I've only seem them at wal-mart. They're my new favorite candy!! I love sour candy but the thing I don't like about most sour candy is that they typically start sour and finish sweet. I want them to just stay SOUR! Haha! So these do that! In fact, they're so sour that they border on too sour, which means they're just right for me! LOL. Love them!
13. LUNA BAR - Gluten Free Bars - Nutz Over Chocolate - This is my favorite protein bar because it doesn't TASTE like a protein bar! LOL! It tastes more like a treat! We keep these on hand all the time, so that if we're on the go and I need to have some food with me to eat when I take all of my meds, these make that super easy!
Now, let's talk MEN'S PRODUCTS
14. Cole Haan Grandpro Tennis Shoe - Bart just recently ordered these shoes in this Ironstone gray color, because he swears by them for comfortability. He already has them in the dark brown -- I'll link those below. He found a deal on them and ordered them a few days ago, so they should be arriving soon. He loves them for their comfort and I love them because they're so stylish!
Cole Haan Grandpro in Dark Coffee
15. Invicta Men's 20311 Speedway Stainless Steel Watch - I got this watch for Bart for our anniversary recently and I have to say it is TOUGH looking! It's very sporty, very masculine and it makes his arm look super buff and sexy. Am I allowed to say that here? Haha! When we got it, it was on suuuuper sale for $50, but even at the price it's listed at today, I'd say it's worth it. This is a very cool watch. I will say, it was a bit bigger in size than what I was picturing, but I love that about it now.
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
16. Apple iPad (Wi-Fi, 32GB) - Space Gray (Latest Model) - We got Bart a new iPad the other day (and didn't get quite this good of a deal on it!). His iPad is pretty basic, bare-bones because he doesn't use it for work, like I do with mine. But his previous one was so old that some apps couldn't update any more, because his iPad was too old for the newest updates! Haha! I tell you about this iPad deal though, because perhaps you're like us and didn't realize that you can get Apple products on Amazon!! This is a great price, if you're in the market for a new iPad! And of course, they have other models if you prefer one that's bigger or has more bells and whistles!
17. Shark Rotator Professional Upright Corded Bagless Vacuum - Our vacuum recently stopped sucking....so I guess technically that means it started sucking! Hahahaha! See what I did there? :) Anyway, it died so we had to get a new one and for the price, we're reeeeally happy with this one. So easy to use and very lightweight. It also doesn't take up as much space as our old one did. Yay!
18. Oster 2-slice Toaster - Our previous toaster was older than dirt. LOL! Bart had it long before we got married, and we've been married 18 years! So it was old and it either gave you perfect toast or burnt toast....it was a gamble every time you used it! Haha! So a month or so ago, we fiiiiiiinally got rid of the old one and bought this super affordable one, and we've been really happy with it.
19. Snapper Electric Cordless Self-Propelled Lawnmower - Ok, so as I mentioned in my Stories today, this is one of the big ticket items I'm sharing today, because our mower is currently in the process of pooping out on us! Haha! Bart's been researching mowers for weeks, and has been waiting for a good deal to pop up on the one he's had his eye on, and today is that day! This is normally a $600 mower that's on sale for Prime Day for $120 off! A 20% discount is pretty big on a mower! He ordered it this morning, so if you're in the market for a new mower, you might check this one out! Sale on this item ends just after midnight, I believe.
20. Swiss Diamond Nonstick Fry Pan, 7-inch - We got a couple new non-stick frying pans quite awhile back, and I have to say we've loved them. We wanted some that weren't going to be putting nasty chemicals into our food as it cooked, but that were way easier to clean because of their non-stick surfaces and after a lot of research, these have totally fit that bill!
21. Swiss Diamond Nonstick Frying Pan With Lid, 12.5 inch - This is, of course, a larger size and this one comes with a clear lid....a feature that we use often!
All right, friends, that's it for now, but if there are other things you need links for, let me know and if it's something I can link for you, I can come back and edit this post!
Hope you find some new favorites to love! And as always, if you've got a favorite you want to share with ME, leave it in the comments!!
Thanks, friends!
Just wanted to give you a head's up that the new Illustrating Bible is 25% off at Amazon! If you've been thinking about getting one of these, this is a great price!!
I ordered one of these dresses for myself yesterday! Thought you might like it, too! Great price and lots of color options! And pockets!!
I had a request for these links again.....I have this kimono. I've shared it with you before, as well as this one....
Both can work for use as part of your outfit (that's how I wear them) or you could use them as beach cover-ups, as shown here.
Happy shopping, friends!!
