1 – RAY-BAN WAYFARERS – If you missed it, yesterday I did a little sunglasses try on on my IG stories. All are linked below and in this LIKEtoKNOW.it post. When I found my first San Diego apartment once I got in Grad School to get my master’s, I bought a pair of black and orange Wayfarers to celebrate {I know, it don’t make any sense}. They were trendy and not this classic style and I’ve always wanted a classic pair. This aviator pair has been my go-to for years, but I am excited to get these on sale.
2 – BIKE SHORTS – I’m late to join the trend, but I am all in! I shared this outfit on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app, and I have since bought these bike shorts and these. I quickly realized I needed a pocket for my iPhone on my long runs and I’m excited to try them. My mom said she wants some too, so I got her these high rise bike shorts for Mother’s Day.
3 – KIDS BENCH – We’ve started enjoying our dinners outside. I love having the kids play outside while I get dinner ready and I can keep an eye on them from the kitchen. Then my husband raps up his workday and joins us as the kids run and eat and play and Fernando and I catch up over a cocktail. The kids have been loving this kids’ bench that I got for them after I did this Playhouse. {see the post all about it HERE and the IG story highlights are saved to my profile, because it was quite the undertaking and hysterical to watch back.} They do crafts or play make believe on it in the foggy mornings when I get my backyard workouts in too.
4 – NEW GEL MANI COLORS – I don’t really know how I survived without this gel mani set in my life pre quarantine. I can do both hands and them be dry DRY within 15 minutes. So many of you messaged me about a couple of things. 1. That the set wouldn’t come until June. Order it anyway! Mine said the same thing and it came within 5 days. 2. You don’t like the colors it comes with. I wasn’t all about them either, but found a couple I loved. I got this set shortly thereafter and am in love with this color {the second lightest color, besides the white} and I currently have it on my toes and hands. It is very close to what I always used to get at the salon.
5 – SUNSCREEN – We have entered my least favorite time of the year in San Diego: constant sun. If you are new here, I don’t like the constant sunny weather Southern California offers and much prefer cool, rainy weather. Getting sunburned is my least favorite thing, so I’ve been lathering this on for my morning runs, foggy/cloudy or not. In all my cleaning and organizing, I found a backup of this powder sunscreen and plan to wear it when I slowly start to wear makeup more often. {day never come, please! } It provides the perfect powder coverage with SPF. This with a little blush and mascara and you are clean skin and sun ready!
