Since I’ve had Invisalign, I’ve had to care for my oral health more stringently than ever. After every meal, I use a water flosser, floss with a floss pick and then brush with my Sonicare toothbrush. Most floss picks break (and I’ve tried ever brand), but the one brand that has not let me down are these one by Plackers. They have a double floss string and have not once broken while I floss.

We just had acrylic floating shelves installed in both kids rooms and they lo0k incredible! We had some white IKEA ledges in our last h0me, but I wanted acrylic ones in our new home – and bonus, they come in more sizes! Harper has the 36 inch shelves and Lincoln has the 24 inch ones. The shelves come with hardware.

My all time favorite work pant,the Old Navy pixie pant is on sale for $15, the lowest price ON has ever offered them for! I ordered four pairs as they do fade over time and I like to replace them every 4 months or so for a new pair. They fit TTS (I wear the 4 regular).

You know those purchases that you put on and immediately want to text five of your friends about? Well, this bra is one of them. I LOVE this brand – the bra is made from the material you most commonly see in the “seamless” underwear (which is pretty much all I wear). It’s smooth, comfortable, flattering and comes with thin liner pads so your nipples don’t show (just being real here). I wear a medium and am a 34D in regular bras. Though it’s not super supportive, I wear it to do my P.volve workouts and even to work and love it. It’s seriously one of those bras you don’t want to rip off the moment you get home – and the best part – its just $21.99. If you buy one thing this week, let it be this. They also make underwear – and this 3-pack is so good – love the style, material and fit. Anyway, You know way too much about my undergarments now, but I can’t keep this to myself – it would be wrong. Now go ahead, order this bra and thank me later 😉 PS- they also sell a lifting version on their site – I own this one in nude and love it – but it’s pricier. TBH, I don’t notice much of a difference between the pricier one and its less expensive counterpart (same brand).

The leopard pillow of our dreams is finally back in stock! These can cost $100 + PER PILLOW on etsy or other retailers, but they’re $39.99 right now and will sell out fast! These are larger and have a gorgeous black velvet piping, too! Such a score – I have three – two on our couch and one in our room on the glider chair.

You know what? Feet are sweaty/smelly. Well, mine are, and I know from talking with my friends and co-workers that we’re all on the struggle bus with this. Switching to wearing Rothy’s flats was a game-changer since they’re made of recycled plastic and can be washed and come out looking and smelling like new (yes, really!) but they still got gross/smelly and I felt I was having to wash them really frequently. So I ordered “truly no show” socks and they make a big difference! I’m able to extend the time I go between washes and sometimes only have to wash the insole of my Rothy’s. I wear these shoe/sock liners everyday now! They don’t prevent your feet from sweating, but it’s an added layer of protection between your skin and the shoe.

My friend Lynzy shared this pillow on her IG stories a few months ago and it was an #addtocart moment for me. The inside stuffing of the pillow is adjustable – it comes with extra stuffing to make it more firm. In my case, I found it most comfortable to remove some of the stuffing since I’m a stomach sleeper. I don’t think I’ve ever liked a pillow more. It’s a little bit of a steeper price point than something you’d get at Target, but since you spend about 8 hours in bed every single night, I’d say a good night’s sleep is well worth it.

I recently got a new MacBook Air after having my previous one for six years (it still works and I’m using it as a backup and for travel).
My keyboard on it looks like new, even after six years, and it’s because I have used a keyboard skin from day one. It felt a little weird to type with it on at first, but now I can’t imagine my laptop without it. As soon as I got my new MacBook, I ordered another keyboard skin – it’s made from silicone, super thin and washable. It keeps your keyboard in pristine condition because dirt, dust and crumbs can’t get into your keyboard when you have this on.
I couldn’t recommend it more – every person with a laptop should be using one of these!

I recently shared my eye makeup tutorial on instagram stories (it’s saved to my “beauty” highlights if you’d like to go back and watch). I got a ton of DMs asking about the color of my MAC eyeshadow that I use to “tightline” my upper lash line/upper lid. The color is called “brun” and I’ve been using it for years. It’s a deep rich dark brown and applying it super close to the lash line really defines the eyes, but in a more subtle way than liner (pencil or liquid). Shop the eyeshadow here (it ships for free and lasts forever! I have to buy a new one once a year, if that, because you use so little of the product to make the line).

I love diffusing essential oils year-round, but especially around the holidays (Young Living’s “Christmas Spirit” is a favorite). I wanted to buy a second diffuser for our main living space (we keep our YL one in the master) and this $23 option was recommended by so many! We love it and the kids like watching the lights change color (you can also program it to show just one color while it’s on).

My glasses get so dirty (both my computer glasses and sunglasses) and in order to protect the integrity of the various coatings on the lenses, I avoid using any products that aren’t created specifically for lenses. I found this case of lens wipes on amazon and use them all the time. They wipe lenses clean and are so easy to keep at your desk – I also toss several into my handbag.

I never thought I’d be talking about poop on The Daily Blush, but hey, it’s been almost a decade since I started this blog and it’s about time, right? I’m here to tell you that if you’re not stocking Poo-Pourri in every bathroom of your home, you’re missing out.
In short, you spray it into the toilet before you use the bathroom and it keeps everything smelling lemony fresh (there are an array of scents available). We even use it when the kids go. It’s a #1 seller for a reason, folks. What I love most about it is that it doesn’t have a super fake air-freshner like scent (it’s not irritating – it’s very natural – almost essential oil-ish). Just trust me on this. Everyone in your home will be happier, even your toilet.

I love RX Bars and have been eating them for some time now. Most of the flavors are amazing, but a recent standout has been the Chocolate Sea Salt bar. If you pop it into the microwave for 10 seconds, it tastes like a warm brownie. YUM! The best part? It has 12 grams of protein and the ingredients and minimal.

Every time I find a good light pink polish, I want to shout it from the rooftops. I discovered this OPI formula when the woman next to me at the nail salon was having her nails painted with it. I was only getting my toes painted, so of course I immediately added it to my cart from my phone and checked out on amazon, 10 seconds after she raved that it has been a longtime favorite shade of hers. It’s a milky light pink with a slight shimmer (not really noticeable) and has just a hint of lavender. Highly recommend and love the infinite shine formulam too!

I recently ordered two leotards for Harper and they’re so soft, stretchy and have the cutest sleeve detail. She finds some of the traditional gymnastics leotards to be too itchy, so these ones have been a great alternative.

I cleaned up my diet big time this year, but I don’t believe in deprivation. Staying on track, for me, involves the ability to have a sweet treat daily. Enter this “raspberries in dark chocolate” bar. I buy a ton of these every time I go to Target – there are other flavors, but the raspberry is by far the best. Dark chocolate is richer, so find myself satisfied eating less of it. I eat some after dinner every night and it has become my favorite dessert…YUM!

I’ve tried so many topcoats in the last decade and the one I keep coming back to is Essie’s Gel Couture Topcoat. It comes in a simple white bottle and I love its consistency, the brush size, everything. It’s not advertised as a “quick dry” formula like some others, but I paint my nails in bed and by the time I fall asleep, they’re dry, so this isn’t a deterrent for me. The best part? No UV light needed for this gel topcoat, unlike at the nail salon.

As a woman who wears heels most days to work, I have a zero tolerance policy for ones that aren’t comfortable. I’ve actually found that many pairs of heels are more comfortable than flats, if you buy the right ones. These bow heels are incredibly comfortable and the bow isn’t too sweet or girly – it’s just the right balance. I have the navy, but am also considering the black since when I find a good heel, I usually buy multiple colors. I did order one size up from my usual size in these, so you may want to try that if you find yourself between sizes.

Recently I had a major rash develop under my arms (and it included ingrown hairs – ouch!) Somehow my skin had reacted to my natural deodorant after more than six months of use, so I switched to the sensitive version. In the meantime though, my underarms were red, irritated, itchy and angry. I decided to try the unicorn of healing potions – coconut oil. I used Kopari’s coconut melt and my underarms were healed in just a few short days (the jar is huge and will last you awhile). The redness went away, the ingrown hairs were gone and they looked and felt better than ever. I usually use a cotton round and apply it to my underarms so that I’m not getting the oil all over my fingernails (it’s fine to, I just hate feeling oil on my hands). Coconut oil has natural antimicrobial properties and heals skin amazingly and now I use it pretty much every night.

The verdict is IN! We love our IKEA duvet (I’m talking about the down-filled insert, not the cover). I’ve used duvets since I was a child, but it has taken some time to find the perfect duvet for Houston’s climate. We have the king size HÖNSBÄR down comforter in the “cooler” version which means it’s super thin and lightweight and ideal for warmer climates (or if you simply prefer something lighter).

Do you ever find a lipgloss so good that you buy extras for your office, home, purse, etc? That’s how I feel about the Lanolips tinted balm in the color “rose.” It works well with my skin tone, feels great and I’ve re-purchased it over and over. It’s the color I keep coming back to. Every day when I finish my makeup, my last step is swiping this on my lips. Right now, you can get one tube of any Lanolips tinted balm (there are three colors but “rose” is my fave) and when you add it to your cart, you will get a full-sized tube of the rose color for free! It’s two for the price of one, and let’s just say my order is already placed 😉 Get yours before this promo is over – I promise you’ll love it!

I’ve probably tried 40 different mascaras in my lifetime. If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know I only use waterproof formulas because my lashes are totally incapable of holding a curl and regular formulas are too “wet” for them. After years of trial and error, the mascara I keep coming back to is Maybelline Falsies waterproof. There’s something about the flexible, slightly curved brush and the formula that makes lashes so perfect I could cry (and you can cry – or swim – with it on, to be clear). This mascara gives me the full, voluminous thick lashes I love and it lasts. Plus, it’s easy to get and inexpensive. What are you waiting for?! PS- read more about my fave drugstore mascaras, here.

Crazy Rich Asians is a box office hit but the book is even better! I listened on audible and highly recommend this one. There are so many different characters and intertwining stories – I loved it so much I’m currently listening to part II of the trilogy (China Rich Girlfriend). If you haven’t read this yet, it’s a five-star must-read!

If you’ve been following our dining room light fixture saga, you may know that after ordering our fourth fixture, we finally found The One. Ultimately, the gold fixture was a more cohesive look for the space when you took into account our kitchen pendants and the gold/brass accents we have throughout the space. I still love the white beaded one, but it made the spaces feel a little more disjointed, visually (which some of you really liked!) If you love this fixture as much as I do, you can shop it below!
