These Friday Five posts are truly just whatever is striking my fancy each week. These white rubber Birkenstocks I haven’t taken off since they arrived, so they are no surprise to be included. Check out all the classic sunglasses on sale, including the ones pictured, that I also haven’t taken off much, in last week’s post, HERE.
Rubber Birkenstocks {$19 dupes here, come in 42 colors. Size 1 size up.} || Ray-Ban Wayfarer on Sale || Rings & Bracelets {dm her on Instagram for custom orders. Tell her @navyandorange sent you!}
1 – RUBBER BIRKENSTOCK – What did I do without these? No, but seriously. I’m either barefoot, in running shoes or in these since they arrived. They are so comfortable and, dare I say, cute? White has, surprisingly stayed clean but I did get these $19 Birkenstock dupes on Amazon. Size up in the Amazon ones, I got a 38, the Birkenstocks run TTS, I got a 7.
2 – HIP OPTICAL – I was approached by this company but am so obsessed with the concept, I had to share. Not only do they have the cutest frames, and they are made in the USA, they can fill your prescription online BUT they also donate a pair of glasses for every one sold! How amazing is that!? Especially during this time, when simple luxuries might be hard for many people to gain access to or to afford, like glasses. I’m currently debating between this set of frames and these ones {in Sioux Falls or Featherstone} for blue light glasses.
3 – LEARN WITH HOMER APP – I was 100% targeted for this on IG ads. Nevertheless, the first week of quarantine, I thought I would try this out for the kids to play with so I could workout. While it started as a way for me to get a break, I have been beyond impressed with the app. Leo {3} went from barely understanding that letters are different to being able to recognize different ones. And Madrid {5} uses it to practice drawing her upper and lower case and letter recognization. This is by no means sponsored, but if you are looking for an app for your kids to “homeschool” and actually learn, with limited involvement from you, I cannot recommend this one enough.
4 – OLAPLEX – So, I’ve only tried this mask one time, but already I’m the biggest fan. While the directions said to leave it on for 10 minutes and then shampoo, I did the following. I left it on for 20 minutes and then just rinsed. The next day was a running day and between sunscreen, sweating and wearing a hat, washing my hair the day before is superfluous. {I wash my thin hair every other day.} As I shared on IG stories, my hair is pretty messy right now. Since getting professional highlights for the third time in my life and going a version of blonde earlier this year, my hair needs this quarantine as much as everyone else. I’ve also been trying this hair supplement and have noticed an increase in my already prevenent baby hairs. Yep, still dealing with baby hair growth, even though my youngest is 3.5 and I stopped breastfeeding 2 year ago. If you are unaware, after birth and then again when you stop breastfeeding, your hair falls out and then grows back with baby hairs. Totally worth it, but still not the most awesome. I figure if I keep up on the hair supplement and this mask, I should have awesome looking hair by the end of the year.
5 – RUNNING SOCKS – If you are new, or don’t check my IG stories, I have re fallen in love with outdoor running. Pre quarantine, I was an OrangeTheory rat and would run outside 1-2 times a month. Now, I find myself running outdoors at least 20 miles a week. I’ve also noticed on my running days, I am infinitely more happy, calm. Running outside solo is a little quarantine treat. Before quarantine, I swore by these socks, making them the only ones I would wear for cardio. Now that my cardio game has increased, I really cannot swear by these enough. Try them once, and I promise you will get rid of all your other socks you are working out in. My husband gets the black and grays, but I love the bright colors. Not only do they make me happy, but so much easier to sort in the laundry.
