Heather here with my Amazon save option of the trendy Anthro necklace! This necklace is about half the price of the one I originally found at Anthro and it’s so good! There are a lot of color options and I get tons of compliments on it. I like to wear the clasp in the front to break up the colors a bit. It’s my go to summer accessory!

Allison’s Golf Shirt [6′, size medium or 8]

Shirt [true to size] // Similar Skirt

I played in my first golf outing for Folds of Honor this summer. Such a fabulous organization helping military families, and the theme was red, white and blue. My team found these super cute star golf shirts on Amazon, and knew they’d be perfect for the outing. The material is stretchy, and breathable, which were great for the hot summer day!

I love Amazon, but finding plus size friendly CUTE things sometimes is a struggle for me! Often when ordering, things either not true to size or not flattering on me! Well… Amazon has redeemed themselves with this set! I ordered 2 sizes up (wearing 4X), and glad i did! Bottoms run small, but top is the perfect oversized fit! Xoxo Aundrea 🫶🏽

Beauty

Jen’s Eye Masks

Eye Masks

Pro Tip: Buy them & store them in the refrigerator! Enter an epic spa experience of your life, at home! I love using these in the morning while I’m enjoying my morning coffee and wordle time 😉

Jen’s Lip Balm

Lip Balm

I always stock up on Prime Day! I love this lip balm – my first time trying the peach one, and LOVE!

Jen’s Hairbands

Hairbands

I’ve heard so many hype up these hairbands, and I just didn’t understand it! UNTIL I gave them a twist-o-tie myself and friends… I will never be reaching for a plain o band again! They hold my hair great + don’t damage when I go to remove!

Jen’s Mascara

Mascara

Jen here, I also got pink eye a few weeks back – which meant I had to replace all my eye makeup! This mascara is one I will go to the grave with! I’ve tried so many and personally love this one the most! What sold me was the double wands = double extend! You really get your lashes the longest with this application. I also love the fact that when you go to wash your face before bed, warm water literally clumps this mascara right off. By far, the easiest mascara removal I’ve ever encountered!

Jen’s Satin Pillowcase

Coop Pillow // Satin Pillowcase

If you have not jumped on the satin pillowcase game my ladies + gents, I’m here to say – just do it! My husband was so jealous of my snoozing game, he said “it must be that pillowcase making you snore like that” — He is NOT wrong! I was a nice wife and bought one for him… and he hasn’t stopped thanking me since! Treat yourself[and your man] today!

Hannah’s Straightener/Curling Iron

Babyliss Hair Straightener/Curl

I’m very particular about my hair tools and I’ve had my eye on this straightener/curling iron for a couple years now. I finally hit checkout and I’m obsessed! It is pricier, however after using it several times, this is what I love most about it:
1. The cord is soft so it’s not getting tangled
2. It’s super easy to curl and straighten without my hair feeling damaged
3. It can create soft curls and more defined
4. If you have shorter hair, this thing is a game changer!

Aundrea’s Ice Cylinders

Ice Cylinders

I am a Stanley girl through and through! I love a good cold ice water, but always struggles with getting my straw in my cub with all the cubes! Then comes Amazon with something I never knew I needed 😂😂! These ice cylinders fit perfectly in my cup allowing room for my straw and lemons (at the bottom)! 

Devon’s Refrigerator Magnets

Clear Magnets

I wanted magnets that would look cohesive on our refrigerator to replace the vast array of magnets that we’ve collected over the years. I love displaying artwork from my kids where everyone can see it! These clear magnets give it a clean and crisp appearance.

New Car = New Sunshade! This one got the job done and stores SO easily! I love that you can find the exact shade size for your car front window with this shade! The fit was truly PERFECT!

Allison’s Waterproof Dog Collar

Waterproof Dog Collar

Our dog, Ollie, is loving the lake life, and loves constantly being in the water. Her material collar is beyond stinky! I found these dog collars on Amazon that are stink proof! It works like a dream! No more stinky dog collar that never dries! Make sure you measure your dogs collar though, I had to reorder because I bought a size too small!
