Affordable Beach Must Haves

What I wouldn’t give to be back in Gulf Shores right now with my family. It was such a fun time of relaxation and time together. Waking up to the ocean wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever had to experience either. Is there really anything better than the sound of waves as you sip on your morning coffee? I think not. While I plan on bringing you a full Gulf Shores recap soon, today I’m here to share a little bit about what I packed!

When traveling with my family, I like to pack pretty casually. There’s just something about traveling with 3 kids under the age of 10 that brings down the need for heels and pricey white pants and all of the things you like to avoid when chasing after children. Thankfully I had just picked up some cute affordable options from Walmart and knew they would be perfect for the trip. I have become a sucker for their Time & Tru brand recently — everything I have tried of this brand I’ve really liked [and have received so many compliments on]! Not only are the prices budget-friendly, I have had great luck with the comfort, fit and style of the pieces. As a part of their We Dress America campaign, Walmart is working hard to bring trends to the everyday woman. I love that we can bring in a mix of high end and affordable options here at Living in Yellow as I am a fan of both spectrums. I’m all about a great price when I can get one, especially for seasonal looks, vacation outfits also falling into that category. Additionally, I love working with companies who are actively doing good in their communities and globally.

Without further ado, here are some fun finds, all from Walmart that I wore on vacation and can’t recommend more!…

15+ Items We’re Loving on Amazon // April Edition

A new month, a new credit card bill that lists Amazon over and over. What’s new. While we love shopping in store and online at a number of different retailers, the one we continue to be intrigued by is Amazon. Whether it’s trying out some affordable fashion and accessories, ordering our household necessities, or testing out things like a “nut blender,” we continue to shop via Prime.

We tend to have quite a few hits and misses with Amazon, so we definitely like to try things out before bringing them to you! With that said, here are the latest items that the LIY Team has bought and is loving this month! What are you finding and loving on Amazon?

Erin’s New Laundry Detergent

Glamorous Wash Laundry Detergent, Diva

I’ve been hearing about this incredible smelling laundry detergent for years from other bloggers and always filed it under “one of those things I want to try sometime” but never remembered to order. Finally, I spotted it as I was browsing Amazon recently and I took the plunge just to see if it was actually worth the hype. Whoa baby, I get it now. This is hands down the most incredible smelling laundry detergent that transfers to your clothing [in the best way possible] I’ve ever experienced. It is expensive, however, I quickly learned that you don’t have to use the 1/3 cup per wash that it calls for. To make it last longer I am going to continue to use my regular Tide Pods but add a couple of tablespoons of this to get the same amazing scent on my clothing and bedding. I can truly understand how others have said they have people stop them to ask what scent they are wearing after washing their clothes in this. Get ready to fall in love with laundry….

I have a love / hate relationship with makeup. I love it for the simple fact that it makes me look more like a human, maybe a little less like a man and hides my red nose that is full of broken capillaries [oops]. I hate it because I feel like 99.9% of the time…

10 Outfits I’m Loving Right Now
