WHAT'S IN MY AMAZON CART


I'm overdue for a new Amazon haul, ya'll. Every few months I like to order all of the things I've accumulated in my cart. For whatever reason, on Amazon I like to just add things here and there as I find them and place an order once I need need something. Most of the time everything end up being super random which is fun to unbox! 

I love Amazon for supplements, books, beauty + random items that can be harder to find in stores. Right now most of what's in my cart are beauty items. I've convinced myself that I need to start doing my own nails at home which obviously means I need new supplies, lol... any excuse to do some shopping! On a serious note, I would love to be able to perfect my at home mani pedi. I can do a shoddy paint job but nothing like the pros. It's always good to start with the basics so I figured I could use a new set of essentials. I love this brand + need some good quality clippers and nail files. I also feel like cuticles are what make or break how good your nails can look? I added this cuticle remover because it has incredible reviews and is under $5! Love that. I also threw in these cuticle nippers which I'm a little scared to use but feel like I need. The last nail related item I have is clear acrylic powder. I was chatting with a girl at Orangetheory about how great her nails looked when she told me she did them herself. She said the secret to making them last longer is added power underneath the acrylic so I'm definitely trying that! 

Also in the beauty category is this Differin Cleanser. I actually saw Dr. Dray recommend this as an underarm wash to help get rid of bacteria + keep your underarms from smelling. She said she uses this instead of wearing deodorant! I'm very intrigued about that, ya'll. I don't have any plans to quit wearing deodorant anytime soon, however I definitely want to see how this works. I switched over to natural/aluminum free deodorant about a year and a half ago which has been an eventful transition, lol. I've tried a ton of different brands and formulas, most of which have been subpar if we're just being honest. The reality is that most "clean" deodorants all lead to sweating and if you're doing a lot of physical activity, can't always block odors. My thought is that if I use both the deodorant + this cleanser together, it'll be the dynamic duo of my dreams! 

Okay, last beauty item is Castor Oil. Everyone swears castor oil is a miracle product with a ton of uses/benefits. The one that got me is that apparently it can help cleanse your gut. You apply the oil on to these oil pads which then penetrates through the skin + helps cleanse internally? I have zero clue whether it actually works but I'm interested enough to give it a try. I'll keep you posted once I try it, however it's of course always important to check with your doctor before using anything health related. 

You can always bet there is some type of book in my Amazon cart. Recently I've been in the mood for fall-themed books and I want to read In the Company of Witches next. It's been on my list for a few months now but I've been holding off for October. I'm also still debating whether I need to order the new Apple Watch... my Fitbit died a few months ago so I've been using my dad's old Apple Watch to track my steps. It honestly works perfectly fine, I'm just in one of those "should I buy my own" dilemmas right now. I love the stainless steel chain band! 


I love sharing my picks with you! Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping. Pretty cool, huh? :)
