WHAT'S IN MY TARGET CART | 6.20.25


Whenever Target has one of their "Buy $30, get a $5 gift card" deals going on in a category that I like to shop or need something from, I always try to take advantage. Usually it's some variation of $$$ off or to earn a bonus Target gift card- both are a-ok in my book. We love a little extra incentive to spend and "save" money, no? This week's offer is for personal care items which was great timing for me- I've been needing to restock on essentials so why not share my cart with you?? These are those typical boring everyday items we all use but I've always found a little excitement in the mundane, ya know? Sometimes we'll even get a lil' crazy by trying out a new shaving gel scent or Dr. Teal's bath salt, lollllzzz. You think I'm joking but I'm actually the most excited to get this Skintimate Coconut Delight. I smelled it in the grocery store a few weeks ago and it's pretty much all I've thought about since. Be prepared for a new beachy, summer goddess in town- she's coming. 

Also on the note of summer and sweating- this Secret deodorant is the OG. As much as I hate to admit it, nothing can hang like our long-time, aluminum-filled toxic deodorant friends when it comes to summer. I'll hold out hope that one day we'll get the best of both worlds with a clean ingredient alternative but until then, I'll take toxic for 200 over B.O. every day of the week. 

At this point I'm just rambling with late night delulu zoomies so I'm cutting myself off! Happy shopping and weekend to ya! - xx.

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 6.16.25

Hello, hello! I almost completely skipped on posting today's June round-up because I didn't even register that we're already halfway through the month. June has definitely sped right on by which is unusual- I feel like normally the summer months tend to creep by. Now that we have longer days, it always feels like there's more time to get things done which might have something to do with it. I also love that it's daylight out until around 9pm here, however I won't really be sad to see summer go. Ya'll know I'm a fall gal through and through so I'm counting down the days to cooler weather and Spooktober! For today's post, we have the top 5 most popular blog posts of the month which has a little bit of beauty and a little bit of health/lifestyle. Here's the line-up: 

1. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - For all of my ingredient-conscious, natural-deodorant-loving peeps- this post is for you. I've taken a pause on my hunt for the best natural, aluminum-free deodorant so as of now, the winner stands with Salt & Stone. Their formula and scents have worked the best for me + my body. I will say I prefer these during the cooler months and for when I'm not working out or as active. When it comes to the gym and the hot summer months, I stick to my favorite clinical strength deodorant


2. REVIEWING YASSO GREEK YOGURT BARS - Something I do love during the hot summer months are the Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars. These are so delicious and a better alternative to ice cream if you're watching what you eat. Most are 100-150 calories each and they have a higher protein content from the greek yogurt.

3. OURA RING UNBOXING - We're approaching the three year mark since I first purchased my Oura Ring. This blog post was my initial unboxing and ever since, I've pretty much been wearing the ring 24/7. I love it to track my sleep, menstrual cycle + more. It's a great tool to analyze what's going on inside the body and I like being able to compare data and trends over time. If you've debated on buying one, hopefully this unboxing post will give you some helpful info!

4. TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 5.14.25 - I find it funny that some of my more recent "Top 5 Most Popular Blog Posts" posts have also started making it into the Top 5 Posts, lol... it's a little trippy but I'm glad to know they are popular on the blog. I always find it fun to share because there's usually a good blend of old + new posts. You can check out the most popular blog posts from May here

5. NEW AT SEPHORA - Probably *MY* fave post of today's round-up is this New at Sephora post. I've definitely been feeling more shoppy lately and I'm always keeping an eye on new beauty releases. There are soooo many good things out right now too. Be sure to check this post if you love beauty too! I definitely have my eye on the new PHLUR Beach fragrance and this new NARS palette-- she's a stunner! So many fun, summery products.

MINI HEALTHY SNACKS HAUL


Lately a few of my snack obsessions have been the Barebells Protein Bars, Quest Protein Chips and Drizzilicious Rice Cake Bites. I've been looking for ways to boost my protein intake while *trying* to maintain a calorie deficit which has led me here. Barebells have flipped the switch for me on protein bars. They aren't like any of the other brands I've tried- both the texture and flavor are great. A lot of brands are superrrrr dense and just taste nasty, if we're keeping it real lol. These are actually good- they taste a lot like a candy bar and 20 grams of protein for 200 calories is a win in my book. I'm not sure how much "processed" protein is really ideal so I've been trying to moderate but they've become one of my favorite snacks. I don't eat them every day but love to have as an end of the day treat here and there. It's definitely a better alternative for me than something super sugar and calorie loaded. I've also enjoyed testing out different flavors to see what's best- this week I restocked two of my favorites which are the Peanut Butter and Cookies & Caramel!

I'm pretty much in the same boat with the Quest chips except they're my lunch add-on, lol. My favorite so far has been the Sour Cream & Onion- I was a little surprised. Not all Sour Cream & Onion vibes are created equal, lol. These have a good flavor- not onion crazy but that perfect tanginess. Definitely had to restock those and also grabbed BBQ to try out. Next on my list is the Cheddar Sour Cream! I should have bought this combo pack to try- it has all three flavors! All in all, for protein chips these are pretty good. Sadly nothing is as good as a Dorito but the calories and protein make them worth the swap. 

My last snackie find are the Drizzilicious Rice Cake Bites. I shared these in my last snack haul and they've quickly become a new favorite. I repurchased the Birthday Cake flavor this week which is so so good and then French Toast to try. Spoiler alert- it pretty much tastes the same as the Cinnamon Swirl to me. Not a bad thing because they are also delicious! Just not too much difference or a big "French Toast" vibe other than the smell. I like these because they're small and around 5 calories a piece. It's the perfect bite for when I'm craving something sweet which is usually all the time... womp wimp. I can eat 5-10 of these and I'm satisfied. They also offer this combo pack with mini bags- perfect for portion control or lunches! 

What are your go-to healthy snacks?
