Happy Friday!
As I shared early on, we, as a family, have kept our “normal” schedules as much as possible during this time. My husband works from 8:30-6pm at least every day, so the weekends really feel like weekends. And this weekend, I get a break, a real break from momming that doesn’t include a grocery store run or a run outside! Since we went on holiday with my brother and his family last week for the 4th, and they’ve been seeing my parents all along, we finally feel comfortable to leave my kids with my parents. Even though we haven’t eaten at a restaurant yet, my husband and I are excited to sleep in and go workout together!
As I mentioned in this Instagram post, I will be donating 15% of my affiliate link income this month to a nonprofit that builds up and supports the Black community. I would like where I donate to be Black women and Black Trans focused, so leave any suggestions below or on that Instagram post.
I want to do this as a way to show my continued support and to thank you for being here and using my links. xoxo H
Friday Five
1 – H Style Sandals – this post continues to be one of my popular posts ever, and more so now that it is summer. While I have the Hermes Oran, and yes, I overpaid, there is no reason to! There are so many sandals out there with the same look. I’ve shared my ideas on designer dupes before: no, don’t buy fakes. Yes, buy a dupe or look a like if you like the item for the way it looks, not because it has a brand name tag. Therefore, even though I have the original, these croc embossed ones are currently sitting in my cart.
2 – Bunk Bed – this quarantine, I might not have written a novel or learned a new language {I really would like to relearn Italian and get better with my Spanish. I’m confused my brain can’t handle the both at the same time…} we have made major improvements to the house. The backyard remodel and landscaping is finished, we got patio and outdoor dining furniture and finally FINALLY made Leo’s big boy room. We got this bunk bed and him and us couldn’t be happier. It seems so large and bulky after being used to his crib being in there since we moved in. But I got this bed because 1. he was begging for a bunk bed and no, I have no idea where he got that idea. 2. You can remove the top single bed later for just a full bed. I plan on doing this whenever he grows out of having a bunk bed in his teenage years and doing another “big boy” update. He got him these sheets and these sheets, this duvet cover and this quilt. duvet cover is navy, quilt is gray.
3 – Tie Dye Pjs – these continue to be a best seller and I can see why! Trust me, I’ve contacted the company to see if they make adult because they are so soft and I love the single color marbling tie dye pattern. I got the tie dye and the clouds for the kids to match. They run TTS, but I ordered up one size for each child so I could put the pjs in the dryer.
4 – Baby Facial – my love for this brand is no secret. And I had BIG plans for this quarantine to do teeth whitening, face masks and hair masks at least twice a week. I am using this post as my own motivation to get back on it. The baby facial combined with this face oil together will give you the perfect next day glow.
5 – Peloton – if you haven’t noticed, my Workout Wednesday posts have since dropped off again, because we got a Peloton a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn’t love it more! I’m doing a live ride class with a girlfriend today for her birthday. I plan on talking about this more once I’ve had it a little longer, but if you are thinking it can’t be as good as everyone says, you are wrong. And if you are thinking about getting one, you should! I’m on it 1-3 times a day and really couldn’t love it more.
