END OF THE WEEK SNACKIES | PUBLIX HAUL

My love for Publix BOGOs has struck again- this week with all the snackies + junk food. Aunt Flo also stopped in for a visit and is clearly a bad influence, lol. Lately I've been on a peanut butter cookie kick and dying to try out this new recipe-- looks so bomb if you like Butterfingers. You can always count on Publix to do a BOGO on Peter Pan so I picked up a new jar for the cookies. Sometimes you also just need a little quickie so it's always good to have Betty around- easy peasy, lemon squeezy. 

I'm also fully embracing the summertime s'mores vibes. I just saw a recipe for air fryer s'mores yesterday so walking by the s'mores endcap was really a full circle moment. With the 4th coming up, everything was on sale so we grabbed all of the classics + an extra pack of Reese's for good measure. Add in my rogue box of honey bunches and that sums up my very wild Friday night, hehe. 

What's your go-to snack?

DRUGSTORE ESSENTIALS HAUL

Body Wash // Sugar Body Scrub // Floss Picks // Hand Sanitizer // Wet Brush // Bath Salt // Deodorant

It was time to restock a few of my "unsexy products that work" from the drugstore this week. Several of these are some of my tried + true everyday products with a few new versions sprinkled in. I'm also *temporarily* waving a white flag with clean deodorants-- it's just too d*mn hot right now, ya'll. I've been committed to using an aluminum free, non-toxic, "clean" deodorant and while I love my Salt & Stone, this summer heat is calling for something stronger. For now I've gone back to my first love- the Secret Clinical. Sometimes you just have to really get the job done, know what I mean? Also in the body realm- this Dove body wash is a 10/10. If you workout or are more active, adding in an antibacterial wash is definitely the move. I also needed a new body scrub so I thought I'd try out this one from Tree Hut that everyone seems to like. The Vanilla Shea scent smells good! 

Floss picks, a new wet brush + hand sanitizer are pretty self-explanatory, no? I am a little partial to Germ-X and these little travel sizes- they are the best size for in the car + in your bag! One more new find I'm excited to try is this Village Naturals Therapy Bath Salt. Ya'll know my love for epsom salt but I've never tried this brand before. I like that ingredients are a little cleaner than some others out there + the blueberry citrus scent sounded interesting. Have you tried it before?

WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING LATELY | 6.17.24

I've been taking my binge-watching very seriously, you guys. Summer air and my reignited obsession with microwave popcorn has had me camped out in the basement with my own little movie nights. In a way, it feels like my own adult-version of a summer vacay, haha. That seems silly considering we can all watch anything at any given time but I think it's the popcorn + watching on an actual tv. I usually just watch whatever on my phone when I'm laying in bed at night so making it into a little movie event feels nostalgic. I'm also in a lighthearted, rom-com mood these days... here's what I've been watching: 

+Because I Said So - I have always loved the movie Because I Said So that when I saw it was on Amazon Prime, I had to re-watch it again. It's an easy watch and one that has just always made me feel good. It's comforting, has a cute storyline and I love the cast.  

+The Lost Husband - This was another Amazon Prime find that I just happened to stumble upon. It's more of a drama based upon the book by Katherine Center which I haven't read. I liked the movie enough to watch it through, however I wouldn't necessarily jump at the chance to re-watch it again anytime soon. The plot was a little more somber than what I was originally expecting and I think I'm in the headspace right now for more lighthearted, easy breezy vibes. 

+Something's Gotta Give - A Nancy Meyer's classic! Any film made by her is always a win in my book. In the off chance that you haven't seen this one, it's currently on Netflix and you must watch it! Like all of her films, it's funny, smart and entertaining. Everything from the cast, writing and the overall vibe is a 10/10. 

+Sex and the City - I've been seeing a ton of SATC clips on TikTok lately which has put me in the mood to start rewatching it. It's been a long time since I've actually seen any of the episodes so I started at the beginning last night + currently on episode 3 as we speak. In my mind it will always be a classic for the girlies, flaws and all. 

What have you been watching lately? Let me know what + if any are must-sees!

WHAT I WANT TO WATCH ON NETFLIX THIS MONTH

I'm back in another binge-watching phase where I want to watch alllllll of the movies + shows. I'm always down to watch something good but lately I've been itching to watch some of my old favorites. I've come up short trying to find most of them on my streaming services, however I did find a few more picks on Netflix to add on my list: 

+Hit Man - This is a new one and in complete transparency- I have no idea what it's about, haha. I saw just a few seconds of the preview under the new section but Glen Powell + what appears to be a fun actiony, rom-com grabbed my attention. 

+Baby Driver - Ya'll, I love love love Baby Driver and never knew it was on Netflix! I'm not sure if it's a recent addition or if I just missed it but I'm re-watching it ASAP. It's such a good, underrated film IMO. I would describe it as a quirky, action/drama with a little romance. The cast is great and it definitely has a unique flair that stands out. 

+Sex and the City - Now that our fave is on Netflix and I've been seeing all the clips on the Tok, I'm definitely in the mood to rewatch SATC. I'm also very surprised this one actually made it on Netflix, too? It feels illegal and unheard of for an HBO classic but I'm not complaining!

Have you watched anything good lately?
