I've compiled a list of some of my favorite gifts and some of our favorite brands this year that the guy in your life is sure to love. You can't go wrong with any of these gifts, and you're sure to find something for even the most difficult to buy for person in your life in my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide for Him. Merry Christmas!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikFan9kMYqyWx9eDeud5DH8ncX27wP7NMLvaqyYapO34kGtLi1YXOypD66YqG-59LqdE6LcYL9bQtSJu0Dk207oxvdqn11RvufHUVqIMC7AvFZTPPCZwu8zjKeuvd1CMUqSG0IC-vzFXTJQ89lEDesKh239xAVGn1ubzSC9xXEK_1svNx_dVlkDsBHvYE/s5293/DSC_0680.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="5293" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikFan9kMYqyWx9eDeud5DH8ncX27wP7NMLvaqyYapO34kGtLi1YXOypD66YqG-59LqdE6LcYL9bQtSJu0Dk207oxvdqn11RvufHUVqIMC7AvFZTPPCZwu8zjKeuvd1CMUqSG0IC-vzFXTJQ89lEDesKh239xAVGn1ubzSC9xXEK_1svNx_dVlkDsBHvYE/w640-h484/DSC_0680.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://shreddelish.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">SHREDDELISH</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">One of our most favorite locally based brands is <a href="https://shreddelish.com/" target="_blank">Shreddelish</a>! Not only do they promote the stoke, but their designs are awesome and they're just really rad people. You'll never see them without a smile on their face and their mission is keeping the stoke alive, so of course we vibe with their brand. I have a few of their products and love every single one of them, their <a href="https://shreddelish.com/products/shreddelish-shaka-patch-beanie" target="_blank">Shaka Patch Beanie</a> beanie I got last year is one of my most used hats, and I'm stoked to gift this <a href="https://shreddelish.com/products/shreddelish-merino-wool-toboggan?variant=41508259102887" target="_blank">Shreddelish Merino Wool Beanie</a> this year! It's the perfect neutral which will go well with everything and it's super soft! I'm also super stoked about this <a href="https://shreddelish.com/products/shred-myrtle-beach-shirt" target="_blank">Shred Myrtle Beach Tee</a>! This is one of my most favorite designs (well, besides their original shaka design), he took the city of Myrtle Beach logo and switched it up to be a Shreddelish shirt! It doesn't get much cooler than that. Whether you're a local and want to rep your hometown pride (but a stoked up version) or maybe you're on vacation and want to get a tee to commemorate your visit but also want to support the local community, this tee is the way to go. You can also grab the matching sticker (<a href="https://shreddelish.com/products/shred-myrtle-beach-sticker" target="_blank">here</a>) and trucker hat (<a href="https://shreddelish.com/products/shred-myrtle-beach-hat" target="_blank">here</a>)! If the original shred logo is more your style, grab this <a href="https://shreddelish.com/collections/t-shirts/products/white-outline-shaka-shirt" target="_blank">White Outline Shreddelish Tee</a> and then sticker up your vehicle with this epic <a href="https://shreddelish.com/collections/t-shirts/products/white-outline-shaka-shirt" target="_blank">10" Shred Sticker</a>! My personal most used Shreddelish product (almost daily) are these <a href="https://shreddelish.com/products/shred-hair-ties?variant=42183227244711" target="_blank">Shred Hair Ties</a>! These are hands down THE BEST hair ties I have ever used and if you're a guy or gal with long hair, these are a must have. I'll be putting these in stockings this year, along with this awesome <a href="https://shreddelish.com/products/shreddelish-bamboo-comb" target="_blank">Bamboo Hair Comb</a> and <a href="https://shreddelish.com/products/shreddelish-bamboo-surf-wax-comb" target="_blank">Bamboo Surf Wax Comb</a>.

Their Changing Ponchos are something I 100% recommend to anyone to lives near the beach (or frequents lakes or pools a lot). There's nothing more difficult than trying to wrap a towel around yourself and simultaneously change from wet swimwear to dry clothing, this product makes it so much easier, undress underneath the poncho, and change into dry ones easy peasy... or you can make it even easier, and just wear the poncho home without adding the hassle of putting on dry clothes (we do this often since we are such a short drive home from the beach). I'm so excited to put this <a href="https://www.nomadix.co/collections/ponchos/products/agua-blue-changing-poncho?variant=35540284833944" target="_blank">Changing Poncho in Agua Blue</a> under the tree this year, I love the water look and it's such a pretty shade of blue, not to mention being super soft. It can also absorb 4x it's weight in water, ensuring you get nice and dry. This <a href="https://www.nomadix.co/collections/nomadix-towels/products/original-towel-north-swell-2" target="_blank">Original Towel in the North Swell 2</a> print is so beautiful and another item I am really stoked to wrap up and give. It's soft, absorbent, and like all of their products, dries 4x faster than traditional cotton terry towels. <a href="https://www.nomadix.co/" target="_blank">Nomadix</a> products are also sand resistant, pet hair resistant, funky smell resistant, quick drying, and most importantly, better for the environment because they are made with certified post consumer recycled materials (90% Post-Consumer Recycled Polyester). Just one original towel equals 30 plastic water bottles, how cool is that?! They may fold up small, but make a big impact when drying.

We also live in a hurricane area, so it's super important to have a way to have light in case of emergencies (aka hurricane, tornado, etc.) so this <a href="https://www.snowpeak.com/products/home-camp-lantern?variant=39971697492012" target="_blank">Home & Camp Lantern</a> from <a href="https://www.snowpeak.com/" target="_blank">Snow Peak</a> is something I'm super excited to give to my husband for Christmas this year. It's practical, functional, great to have on hand, and looks super cool too! With this <a href="https://www.snowpeak.com/products/home-camp-lantern?variant=39971697492012" target="_blank">lantern</a>, you don't have to worry about keeping kerosene on hand to refill it with, and no fire worries if it tips over (which is especially nice when you have kids), because this LED Lantern is rechargeable! How handy is that? Depending on the brightness level you choose, your lantern can last anywhere between 4 hours and 24 hours before needing a recharge! It's 400 Lumens, comes with a USB charging stand, adjustable handle, and the light is dimmable (just hold the power button to change the brightness level). It weighs only 1.6 lbs. so it's super light weight and won't weigh your backpack down while you're adventuring, and also comes in 3 different colors, charcoal, white, and tan.

They just blow everyone else out of the water, because they are such high quality and so unique. You may be wondering, what makes Mission Belt so great? They are comfortable, stylish, have a color and buckle combination for every occasion... but the biggest reason we love them is because their belts are fully adjustable! They are so easy to adjust and get just the right fit because of it. Ever had a belt that was too tight or too loose, the belt punch holes never seem to be in just the right spot and it makes it difficult to get the fit just right (especially if you lose or gain a few lbs. here and there as people often do). <a href="https://missionbelt.com/" target="_blank">Mission Belt</a> makes everyday life that much easier, because when your belt fits right (and you don't have it digging in to your sides or keep having to pull them up) your day goes right. Most belts often crack or break after a few months of repeatedly using the same spots of the belt to secure it, but with Mission Belt, you'll never have that problem! My husband has belts from them that have lasted for YEARS and are still going strong, so they are well worth every single penny invested in them because of their high quality. You may be saying "mission belt" and wondering about the meaning behind the name? Their mission is a awesome! One dollar for every single belt sold at Mission Belt fight hunger and poverty world wide through micro-lending! Since the beginning, <a href="https://missionbelt.com/">Mission Belt</a> has helped offer over 230,000 unique loans in over 81 countries world wide. Loans ranging from $25 to $500, helping people put food on their tables, start businesses and get on their feet to have a chance of a better life for families, a way out of poverty. There are millions of hardworking people dreaming of a better life and often the only thing holding them back is a little bit of money to get started. As Mission Belt Company often says... "It’s a hand up, not a hand out". When your pants stay up well, you'll have both hands to give a hand up because you won't have to use your hands to hold your pants up haha. Mission Belt not only makes the absolute best pants-holder-uppers around, but also offers a hand to those who need it which I love! I'm excited to put the <a href="https://missionbelt.com/collections/35mm-belts/products/35mm-swat-black-belt?variant=18160910853" target="_blank">Swat Black Belt</a>, the <a href="https://missionbelt.com/collections/35mm-belts/products/35mm-gun-metal-belt?variant=39869063135415" target="_blank">Gun Metal Belt</a>, and the <a href="https://missionbelt.com/collections/35mm-belts/products/gold-brown-belt?variant=8531033733" target="_blank">Gold LUX Belt</a> under the tree this year to add to his collection!

It's a gift that can be loved, used, and enjoyed, but doesn't stick around to take up space in your home after being enjoyed. Coffee lovers start their day with a hot cup of coffee and sometimes enjoy it more than once in a day (iced coffee is the best in the afternoon), and half the fun of loving coffee is that there are so, many different coffees to try! The possibilities are endless when it comes to coffee, different roasts, blends, add ins, temperatures, origin countries, tastes... coffee truly is the infinite gift that comes in a million different varieties which is why I think it makes such an awesome gift! This year, I'm super stoked to give the gift from <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/" target="_blank">Twin Engine Coffee</a> to my husband. It smells amazing, their packaging is super cool, and they have gifts for everyone (including non-coffee lovers). This Christmas he'll be finding 2 different Twin Engine coffees under the tree, their <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/elefante?variant=42097815847066" target="_blank">Elefante Reserve</a>, which is made from rare maragogype beans, which are known for it's creamy, complex, and distinguished flavor profile. It's a specially, limited batch medium roast that isn't available all the time due to crop production. I'm also giving him their <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/elefanteblack?variant=42097816567962" target="_blank">Elefante Black Edition</a>. It's as they describe it "luxury in a cup" and I think it's perfect for Christmas. <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/elefanteblack?variant=42097816567962" target="_blank">The Elefante Black Edition</a> is also created with their maragogype beans and it's even more rare than the <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/elefante?variant=42097815847066" target="_blank">Elefante Reserve</a>, the Black Edition is described as "the unicorn" of coffees and is sun-dried before roasting. This dark roast is unusually creamy compared to most coffees, and has the flavor profile of cacao and creme! If that doesn't sound like the perfect gift, well then I don't know what does. What if you're shopping for a tea lover, you say? <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/" target="_blank">Twin Engine</a> has you covered with their<a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/collections/tea-cascara/products/caturratea?variant=42097816305818" target="_blank"> Caturra Tea</a>! <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/collections/tea-cascara/products/caturratea?variant=42097816305818" target="_blank">Caturra Tea</a> is the other drink made from the coffee plant! A delicious tea made from dried coffee fruits, it's full of antioxidants and also contains caffeine. Twin Engine also sells beautiful gifts perfect for accompanying their coffee, like this <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/products/coffeewood-scoop" target="_blank">La Madre Coffee Scoop</a> (made from coffee wood), their <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/products/origin-wallet-bifold?variant=42097819517082" target="_blank">Leather BiFold Wallet</a> (crafted from natural, full grain, Nicaraguan cowhide), and their <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/products/minimalist-card-wallet-saddle-brown?variant=42500309811354" target="_blank">Minimalist Leather Card Wallet</a>. All of their coffees are grown in Nicaragua, are certified organic, and their business model is even better than fair trade certified meaning the growers and local coffee growing communities keep more of the profits (you can read more about the impact your purchase can have <a href="https://twinenginecoffee.com/pages/your-impact" target="_blank">here</a>).

Blame Taylor Swift if you will, but it'd cover everything in disco balls if I could. Macrame is also something I've always been (and always will be) fond of, so mixing disco and macrame? Like are you kidding? It's absolute genius and I am here for it! <a href="https://rosiethewanderer.com/" target="_blank">Rosie The Wanderer</a> is a local South Carolina artist based in Charleston and she makes the most stunning pieces, like this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1271157494/macrame-disco-ball-hanger-includes-disco" target="_blank">Disco Ball Macrame Hanger</a> for instance! I could not think of a better way to add a little sparkle to your life. This fancy piece would be perfect on a front porch, in a sun room, or even your bedroom window (let that light in and see it scatter across your entire world with this gorgeous thing)! This pretty piece is sure to make anyone smile and makes the perfect gift. It's customizable too which makes it even cooler! Choose from 10 different colors for your macrame to be crafted from, and choose just the hanger (if you have already your own disco ball) or have her include a disco ball and have the entire thing shipped to you! She has so many other beautiful pieces available to purchase, including this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1622753619/disco-keychain-pick-your-accent-color" target="_blank">Disco Ball Keychain</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1431910795/macrame-disco-ball-sun-catcher" target="_blank">Macrame Disco Ball Suncatcher Chandelier</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1385841926/macrame-fruit-hammock-under-cabinet" target="_blank">Macrame Fruit Hammock</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/993986413/macrame-yoga-mat-strap-macrame-yoga" target="_blank">Macrame Yoga Mat Strap</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1219470273/macrame-guitar-hanger-guitar-display" target="_blank">Macrame Guitar Hanger</a>.

I always gravitate towards candles that are made from natural and clean ingredients, and beeswax are some of the best candles out there. I came across these awesome beeswax candles from Wellness by Ari earlier this year and I'm so excited to share about them with you. <a href="https://wellnessbyari.com/" target="_blank">Wellness by Ari Candles</a> are crafted with beeswax, coconut oil, hemp wicks, and essential oils, and smell so good, in addition to having great benefits! Why beeswax? Beeswax burns brighter, cleaner, and longer than traditional candles. When heated, beeswax releases negatively charged ions that cling to the positive ions in the air (such as dust, pet dander, mold, pollen, and other pollutants) weighing them down to surfaces which helps keep the air clean and fresh. Beeswax candles are perfect for those with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to strong scents. I also love that they use essential oils to scent the candles instead of artificial fragrances! I chose the <a href="https://wellnessbyari.com/products/patchouli-and-grapefruit" target="_blank">Grapefruit and Patchouli Candle</a>, and am so excited to start using it! Grapefruit is one of my favorite tastes and scents (and I also love the earthy scent of patchouli, so it's the perfect candle for us! It also has notes of ylang ylang, which is a really pretty floral scent. These candles make the perfect gift for anyone who loves candles, but who also may be a bit more sensitive to fragrance.

Formerly known as Knickey, <a href="https://wearsubset.com/" target="_blank">Subset</a> is without a doubt, my most favorite brand of intimates! Their underwear are the most comfortable thing I've ever worn, and they are the ONLY undies I wear. Their quality is amazing, they last for years, hold their shape well, and come in the best colors (I adore the <a href="https://wearsubset.com/products/high-rise-brief?variant=43792445964480" target="_blank">Meridian</a> color). Since changing their name, they've also branches out to include more in their lineup, from undies and bras, to lounge wear, they also offer maternity items, and even items for men now! My all time favorite are their <a href="https://wearsubset.com/products/high-rise-brief?variant=43792445964480" target="_blank">Organic Cotton High Rise Briefs</a>, when I tell you, these are everything... everything, and you 100% need them! Like, they will positively change your life with not only the comfort level, but also the fact that they are created from organic cotton. Organic cotton is such a game changer when it comes to intimates, and it's so important to not skimp on quality when it comes to something that will be touching your body (especially the most delicate parts of your body 24/7. Most cotton is treated with pesticides and toxins while being grown, but organic cotton while first and foremost being free of chemicals, is typically grown in better, healthier soil, which in turn grows higher (and better for you) quality cotton. Organic farming practices are also typically more sustainable, which is better for the environment. Did you know, organic cotton creates 46% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional cotton growing methods simply because they don't use harmful chemicals and toxins (they also use fewer mechanical farming practices). Subset undies are created with 95% Certified Organic Cotton and 5% elastane for stretch. Their <a href="https://wearsubset.com/products/tank-bralette?variant=43116355780800" target="_blank">Organic Cotton Tank Bralette</a> is another one of my favorites, and I am super stoked to try out their lounge wear! I chose the <a href="https://wearsubset.com/products/classic-tee?variant=43789664485568" target="_blank">Organic Cotton Classic Tee (in Stone)</a> and their <a href="https://wearsubset.com/products/soft-short?variant=43789670514880" target="_blank">Organic Cotton Soft Short (also in Stone)</a>.

I guess its a good thing I don't mind the cold, but a wetsuit and springsuit are necessities during the colder months of the year. A wetsuit is perfect for late autumn and winter, and a springsuit is perfect for early autumn and spring, when you still need warmth, but it's too warm for a full suit. I've been on the search for the perfect spring suit for awhile, but unfortunately most of the larger surf brands aren't very inclusive in sizing. One brand in particular got off women's sizing at size 8 (and wetsuits usually run small anyway), it was a disappointment to say the least, to find a cute wetsuit or springsuit only to discover that it didn't come in my size. Thankfully there are some brands that cater to EVERY BODY and created wetties for women of all sizes. One of those brands, <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/" target="_blank">Made For It</a>, is a small company based out of Perth, Australia who have created <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/product-page/the-steamer" target="_blank">wetsuits</a>, <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/product-page/the-shortie" target="_blank">shortie springsuits</a>, <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/product-page/glass-off" target="_blank">bikini cut springsuits</a> and <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/product-page/the-surfsuit" target="_blank">surfsuits</a> for women of every shape and size. Our bodies were made to move and women shouldn't be held back from engaging in activities they love or trying new activities just because mainstream brands don't cater to people of every body type. That's why I was so excited to find <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/" target="_blank">Made For It</a>, they are sizing inclusive and have a community mindset where everyone can come to feel included and belong. Not only that, their products are CUTE! I mean, can you even, with this <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/product-page/the-shortie" target="_blank">this aqua shortie suit</a>? It's cute, comfortable and functional. Easy to get on and off, easy to zip up and unzip, feels great in the water, and I have no trouble paddling while wearing their <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/product-page/the-shortie" target="_blank">shortie suit</a>. Their suits are also created with the environment in mind, and instead of being created with traditional neoprene (which is created using petroleum), and their custom colors are sublimated onto 2mm limestone Yamamoto neoprene! Limestone neoprene is also 30% warmer and has 30% more stretch than regular petroleum-based neoprene, and they are glued, blind stitched and reinforced for extra comfort and durability. If you've been looking for a cute and size inclusive wetsuit, head <a href="https://www.madeforit.net/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to check them out and get yours!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-eFdWvvcbSHsNJJw01rBgY2TrKVlF9JtiBB48ATn64lghCcVHYHcRBQQcBLIZmqph5RRN6He6YBSk9xoc5ZvVEN8dJHpmL7U5n1fSraXche64SxdQkkO5bskIYHoD27ZdR1CpRupn-oggRyVQ9Ivex-meylBHUhSV5RObQEt9VQRzLUaZWxrjDQwWT4/s5831/DSC_0785.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3876" data-original-width="5831" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-eFdWvvcbSHsNJJw01rBgY2TrKVlF9JtiBB48ATn64lghCcVHYHcRBQQcBLIZmqph5RRN6He6YBSk9xoc5ZvVEN8dJHpmL7U5n1fSraXche64SxdQkkO5bskIYHoD27ZdR1CpRupn-oggRyVQ9Ivex-meylBHUhSV5RObQEt9VQRzLUaZWxrjDQwWT4/w640-h426/DSC_0785.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank">DEATH WISH COFFEE COMPANY</a></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Everyone loves coffee, am I right?

I love strong tasting coffee with lots and lots of creamer haha, and I'm really super stoked to share one of our household favorite's brands, <a href="https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Death Wish Coffee Company</a>! Their coffee is so good, and it's great that it can be purchased so many different places (many grocery stores carry it, but you can also grab it directly from their website here). I'm also in love with all things coconut so I'm really excited to out this new <a href="https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/products/coconut-caramaul-coffee?variant=40320007569463" target="_blank">Coconut Carmaul Roast</a> from Death Wish Coffee! With the aroma of toasted coconut, toasted coconut blends with notes of sweet caramel to create a decadent and balanced flavor profile. It's the perfect way to start your day for anyone who loves coconut. Their<a href="https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/products/death-wish-coffee?variant=2413985169421" target="_blank"> Dark Roast Coffee</a> is one of my husband's favorite coffees. His morning isn't complete without a cup (or 2) of this awesome coffee. It's a very strong roast with notes of dark chocolate and black cherry, and after you drink this, well, if you weren't a morning person before, you definately are now! Haha. All of <a href="https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Death Wish's </a>coffee is USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified, made from arabica and robusta coffee beans from India, Peru, and other countries throughout South and Central America.<a href="https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/" target="_blank"> Death Wish Coffee Company</a> was created in 2012, was as a homage to living life to the absolute fullest extent, never backing down and going full send in all aspects of life, and honestly that's a sentiment I can get behind. You can find all of their roasts and blends <a href="https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The most wonderful time of year when we get to shop for kids of all ages and look for the most perfect gifts for them to find under the tree. There's nothing better than seeing their eyes light up and sparkle when they find just what they have been wishing for, or perhaps didn't know they were missing. Their excitement is simply the best, and I'm stoked to share my 2023 Holiday Gift Guide for kids below! Merry Christmas friends!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX-8MhMsiNGKV0nO8R76P_kbK_yziQoh6FXF0JakOnnz6iSzCkUgsQqy48iGKI8Aov-QFzEahLgaL0hH8mSbWqJxN_bzP0gYt34LdPFeOej0J80Jz0TrqHesa54tbtDh5A4VbY-fuVQ-6jZnMyMDDz5m6ZF5hwzYFmOrQ8w9tH1FwAoj8yiCY2QM24nG4/s4137/DSC_0209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3670" data-original-width="4137" height="568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX-8MhMsiNGKV0nO8R76P_kbK_yziQoh6FXF0JakOnnz6iSzCkUgsQqy48iGKI8Aov-QFzEahLgaL0hH8mSbWqJxN_bzP0gYt34LdPFeOej0J80Jz0TrqHesa54tbtDh5A4VbY-fuVQ-6jZnMyMDDz5m6ZF5hwzYFmOrQ8w9tH1FwAoj8yiCY2QM24nG4/w640-h568/DSC_0209.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://shopplainjane.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">PLAIN JANE PAJAMAS</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">Is there anything better than a cozy pair of Christmas pajamas? We are such big fans of staying cozy when it's cold, and these <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/" target="_blank">Plain Jane Pajamas</a> are absolute perfection for the winter season. If you've been around very long at all, you've probably heard me mention <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/" target="_blank">Plain Jane Pajamas</a> on more than one occasion, but there's no better time than now to re-introduce (or introduce if you're new) you to the world's softest pajamas. They are the softest pajamas you will ever lay your hands on, created from 94% modal (and 6% spandex), and my kids can't get enough of them. They love them so much that they'll wear them until they've got holes and they've been long outgrown if I let them haha, they're the ones they reach for again and again, so you know they're good. I'm so excited to give Bella this new <a href="PJ Set in Starlight" target="_blank">PJ set in Starlight</a>, it's the most magical print and I love that it's festive without being too festive, so she can wear them all year long. Bodhi is also going to love his new<a href="https://shopplainjane.com/collections/holiday23/products/pj-set-in-basil?" target="_blank"> PJ set in Basil</a>. Basil is undeniably the greatest shade of green known to mankind (half of my entire wardrobe may or may not be this exact shade of green haha), and they're going to look so adorable on him. Want the family to match? Plain Jane actually makes matching pajamas and loungewear for the entire family, so the teenagers and adults can also enjoy the same buttery soft pajamas as the little ones! Head <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to grab your own cozy pjs!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjliLzHtVhY5853qWkzaolfq5zWQOYy10ezdGV4GQlJqdfuE47-b85fGQK74hI0dR0nvLarw57nSVLCxfkvO9FoOOm5qVmhQxPiAHeo4W5g6dazU-MRe0KRGzawFE2nf6TM1W4BtxwIgJGn92reSQ92T87DRw5ovQg6gIBQ3i6HMN-4GcFwNvbNOxBHnvU/s6016/DSC_0069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjliLzHtVhY5853qWkzaolfq5zWQOYy10ezdGV4GQlJqdfuE47-b85fGQK74hI0dR0nvLarw57nSVLCxfkvO9FoOOm5qVmhQxPiAHeo4W5g6dazU-MRe0KRGzawFE2nf6TM1W4BtxwIgJGn92reSQ92T87DRw5ovQg6gIBQ3i6HMN-4GcFwNvbNOxBHnvU/w640-h426/DSC_0069.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://roguewavetoys.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">ROGUE WAVE TOYS</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">What's better than a beach day building sand castles with your beach toys? Not much when you're a kid. We love sand toys as much as the next family, but we try to be extremely conscious of the sand toys we purchase since we have first hand seen how easy it is to lose sand toys or forget them. We've seen so many families leave sand toys behind when they are finishing up their vacation (they don't feel like being bothered to take them back home or donate them) so the beaches are scattered with left behind beach toys at the end of the day in summertime, we've also seen kids lose beach toys when a big wave comes up unexpectedly (we've even sadly lost one or two since living here), seen toys wash up on the beach. We've given them to others, donated them, and kept a few here and there. However, hands down, the best beach toys we've ever used, are <a href="https://roguewavetoys.com/products/certified-compostable-beach-toys" target="_blank">Rogue Wave beach toys</a>! We've loved them since the beginning, since we discovered them (right before their Kickstarter campaign) back in 2019, and we hands down, 100% recommend them. Not only are they great colors and high quality made, but they are compostable! As if beach toys couldn't get any cooler, they just did by being earth friendly! Rogue Wave toys aren't just certified compostable, they're also made from plants, not petroleum, and are oil and BPA free! They're made in the USA (another reason to love <a href="https://roguewavetoys.com/" target="_blank">Rogue Wave</a>) and made for play! You can feel great knowing your purchase is a good one for our planet (and future generations) and your groms will love these beach toys for years to come!

After all, shopping local is what helps keep your own community going and food on the tables of small business owners (your friends and neighbors) and helps pay for their kids activities. Whether you're a local to the Myrtle Beach area or on vacation to Myrtle Beach, <a href="https://wonderandwilde.com/" target="_blank">Wonder and Wilde</a> is the most amazing children's store that you need to check out! When you walk in to Wonder & Wilde, you are instantly transported to a world of colorful imagination and daydreams. Seriously, everything in there is something a child would love, and it's the stuff dreams are made of. Such adorable toys and clothing and books and so much more, they have something for every child. I recently stopped by and picked up this adorable <a href="https://wonderandwilde.com/products/candylab-woodie-redux?_pos=7&_sid=fa587f072&_ss=r" target="_blank">Candylab Woodie Redux Car</a> (complete with a little magnetic surfboard on top) for Bodhi (we are huge fans of Candylab cars), along with these super fun <a href="https://wonderandwilde.com/products/glo-pals-party-pal-light-up-cubes?_pos=5&_sid=10da133ae&_ss=r" target="_blank">"Glo Pals" Light Up Cubes</a> that are perfect for bath time, he's going to be stoked to find these under the tree on Christmas. I also found this beautiful <a href="https://wonderandwilde.com/products/super-smalls-make-it-super-diy-bead-kit?_pos=4&_sid=47028b06c&_ss=r" target="_blank">Super Smalls Make It Super DIY Bead Kit</a> (bracelet making kit) at Wonder & Wilde for Bella. She's in her girly era and loves all things bracelet making and of course loves making bracelets even more because of Taylor Swift. She is also really into art, she's been my little artist for as long as I can remember, and OOLY is already one of our favorite brands, so it made perfect sense to grab this adorable <a href="https://wonderandwilde.com/products/rainbow-sparkle-glitter-markers?_pos=7&_sid=19693291c&_ss=r" target="_blank">Rainbow Sparkle Glitter Markers Set</a> for her also.

Thankfully my groms feel the same way about hats as I do, and one of our absolute favorite hat brands, is <a href="https://radriverco.com/" target="_blank">Rad River Co.</a>! We've loved their hats for years, and sadly Bodhi has outgrown his, so I'm stoked that he'll have a new one that fits! This <a href="https://radriverco.com/products/waterproof-five-panel-hat-in-sea-foam?variant=42674063966395" target="_blank">Sea Foam Green five panel hat</a> is going to be absolutely perfect for him, it's the best shade of green ever, and I love that it'll match with so much! What I love even more though, is that it is created from nylon which makes it waterproof! He'll be able to wear it all year long, out of the water and IN the water too without worry of damage or fade (his last hat was also nylon and it was perfect for salty summer beach days). Bella is going to adore this <a href="https://radriverco.com/products/cotton-five-panel-hat-in-copper-check" target="_blank">Copper Check cotton five panel hat</a>, and since both kiddos wear the same size hat now, they can share the hats for different occasions (if one hat matches an outfit better, etc.).

Slumberkins support kids while they are learning about anger, happiness, fear, anxiety, grief, self esteem, conflict resolution, big changes and so much more. I love so much that learning tools can come in such cute packages now, I wish Slumberkins had been around when I was a child, but I'm so grateful my own children get to have them. Bodhi struggles with being independent so the <a href="https://slumberkins.com/collections/growth-mindset" target="_blank">Narwhal Kin</a> is perfect for him since it fosters a growth mindset and promotes becoming more independent. I chose the <a href="https://slumberkins.com/collections/grief-and-loss" target="_blank">Sprite Kin</a> for Bella since back in 2017 she lost a grandparent that she was extremely close to and it's been difficult for her. Sprite Kin focuses on processing grief and coping with loss and I think it will be perfect for her. Slumberkins aren't just soft and cozy, though they very much are... each Slumberkin is designed with an emotional skill in mind by therapists and educators. Each <a href="https://slumberkins.com/" target="_blank">Slumberkin</a> animal comes with a story book and affirmation card, are hypoallergenic, and machine washable. They sell <a href="https://slumberkins.com/collections/kins" target="_blank">"Kins"</a> that are regular stuffed animals and <a href="https://slumberkins.com/collections/snugglers" target="_blank">"Snugglers"</a> that are more lovie style. There are also mini Slumberkins, like this adorable <a href="https://slumberkins.com/collections/minis/products/seafoam-hedgehog-mini" target="_blank">Seafoam Hedgehog</a>! Head <a href="https://slumberkins.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to find the perfect Slumberkin for your child!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmtFCZA7xxkTYsW6hpiCNxvcdRcnBIiQ8Bgtul578YwvStbQxxsD38zDaVMAP-oNEbT86_1QNcRJXllFzzSnog0nWaHeuLhuoxIW6KHCUgAML6aC0TOw9J9juDHxVBxsGW2aIEaYV0dbIUa6OMaEZjaVZKtboSddl3ZqFwNFzWQ1s7ngdE2J2TBKCgftA/s5992/DSC_0103%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3984" data-original-width="5992" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmtFCZA7xxkTYsW6hpiCNxvcdRcnBIiQ8Bgtul578YwvStbQxxsD38zDaVMAP-oNEbT86_1QNcRJXllFzzSnog0nWaHeuLhuoxIW6KHCUgAML6aC0TOw9J9juDHxVBxsGW2aIEaYV0dbIUa6OMaEZjaVZKtboSddl3ZqFwNFzWQ1s7ngdE2J2TBKCgftA/w640-h426/DSC_0103%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.4ocean.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">4OCEAN</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">Since moving near the ocean, we've come to realize just how much trash ends up in the sea and on our beaches. It's sad really, how little people care to do the right thing and clean up after themselves, some purposely leaving trash behind and purposely creating trashy beaches for their own amusement, tourist season is the worst for that. Other times people (especially children) accidentally losing toys in the sand or trash that is scattered along the beach after a big storm or hurricane. Sadly, any trash that makes It's way into a street or drain or waterway, has the potential to make its way into onto our beaches and into the ocean. We try to pick up any trash we see when we are at the beach, because even though it may not be a lot, it's something, every piece of trash picked up makes a difference. And if a bunch of people do a little, it adds up to a lot and makes a huge impact over time. That's why we love <a href="https://www.4ocean.com/" target="_blank">4ocean</a> so much! They are a brand on a mission for cleaner seas and beaches. They sell awesome bracelets created from 100% recycled plastic cord, and their beach cleanup bags are some of the best we've found. For every bracelet purchased, 4ocean will remove 5 pounds of trash from the world's oceans, rivers and coastlines (they've cleaned up over 33,295,617 lbs. of trash from already... and counting), and you can get your very own beach cleanup bag and gloves to do your part to help keep your community and local beach clean! I'm so excited to give Bella and Bodhi these bracelets (like the <a href="https://www.4ocean.com/products/great-white-shark-beaded-bracelet" target="_blank">Great White Shark Beaded Bracelet</a>, <a href="https://www.4ocean.com/products/loggerhead-sea-turtle-bracelet?variant=42788425531585" target="_blank">Braided Loggerhead Sea Turtle Bracelet</a>, and <a href="https://www.4ocean.com/products/hawksbill-sea-turtle-beaded-bracelet" target="_blank">Hawksbill Sea Turtle Beaded Bracelet</a>), the <a href="https://www.4ocean.com/products/beach-cleanup-bag" target="_blank">Cleanup Bag</a> bag, and these super awesome 4ocean × Stasher reusable silicone snack bags (currently unavailable, but they have a ton of other great <a href="https://www.4ocean.com/collections/sustainable-swaps" target="_blank">sustainable single-use-alternative options</a> available).

We discovered them years ago, before we even moved to the beach (back when we were still hoping and dreaming), and we still love them to this day (even though I'm buying much larger sizes than I used to... why does time have to fly so quickly and why do kids have to grow so fast). They have so many adorable styles for both girls and boys, and so many of their graphic tees are perfectly gender neutral as well (for instance, Bella picked out the cutest taco themed tee a few years ago that will be passed on to Bodhi this next year). I can't wait to give them these new tops from Feather 4 Arrow, this <a href="https://www.feather4arrow.com/products/aloha-all-day-everyday-tee?_pos=6&_sid=44fe60a0e&_ss=r&variant=44360195703074" target="_blank">Aloha All Day Everyday Tee</a> tee is absolute perfection and totally Bella's style, girly and surfy all at the same time, and it's her favorite colors as well! It's also tag-less which is perfect since Bella is very sensitive to tags in her clothing. Bodhi will love this <a href="https://www.feather4arrow.com/products/aloha-fin-hacci-pullover?_pos=13&_sid=44fe60a0e&_ss=r&variant=45689829228834" target="_blank">Aloha Fin Hacci Pullover Sweatshirt</a>, he's really been loving sweatshirts this year and this color is going to be adorable on him. All their clothing comes with that super soft feel and their graphics are screen printed. A few Father 4 Arrow styles we are loving is this Lightning Chaser Hooded Sweatshirt, this Prism Pullover Sweatshirt, and this <a href="https://www.feather4arrow.com/collections/girls-tops/products/lennon-terry-tee-pink?variant=44386563522850" target="_blank">Lennon Terry Pink Tee</a>.

font-family: helvetica;">It's really no secret how much I love Christmas, it's my favorite holiday and while summer is my favorite season and I'm really not a fan of the cold, you have to admit, there is just something about the holiday season. It's filled with twinkling lights, tinsel, candy canes, Christmas trees, fresh baked cookies, gifts, and of course, best of all... happy children! I still remember how excited I would get for Christmas morning growing up, it was one of the best days of the year, and being able to bring the joy of Christmas and the holiday season to our home for my own kids, is truly a special thing and makes my heart so happy. I love seeing their eyes light up, not even over the gifts, but just for everything during the holidays, the lights, the tree, reading a Christmas book together, watching The Grinch for the hundredth time, baking sugar cookies, making salt dough ornaments... and about a million other little things. I think as a mom, Christmas is just that much more fun, I mean yes, it gets stressful, but it's so much fun shopping for their gifts, finding that perfect thing that you know they'll love, or maybe it's something they've been asking for for ages, there's nothing like their joy when they find it under the tree. To make it easier for everyone shopping for kiddos this year, I've compiled a list of some of my favorite items for kids/groms/little ones/children in my 2022 Holiday Gift Guide! Find them all below!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwcQMOSloZB-X9Uf4uXoyEBu8bCEeLhKRGIX4UyuiAqf6CjFQwCs2eZ0JYkPdn7rkKxXHn_xH3tR43zwcFKcNyspoarYybalqgsO4-q3uIamJx_YJvQYGpYyq_rkcGRQvgHL2s61iizlDFVWUmXwofNIVdUhOW_mqt4wh8jDZG1S_JS8E_BnNIxHvC/s4411/DSC_0975.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3958" data-original-width="4411" height="574" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwcQMOSloZB-X9Uf4uXoyEBu8bCEeLhKRGIX4UyuiAqf6CjFQwCs2eZ0JYkPdn7rkKxXHn_xH3tR43zwcFKcNyspoarYybalqgsO4-q3uIamJx_YJvQYGpYyq_rkcGRQvgHL2s61iizlDFVWUmXwofNIVdUhOW_mqt4wh8jDZG1S_JS8E_BnNIxHvC/w640-h574/DSC_0975.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nativeshoes.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">NATIVE SHOES</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">I love shoes that my kids can wear both wet or dry, it makes cleanup easy when they want to jump in puddles, or dance in the rain, or when they venture too close to the ocean when I've asked them to stay dry. Lets face it, staying dry is something that literally never, ever never happens during a beach walk, so it only makes sense to plan ahead for these instances, so these <a href="https://www.nativeshoes.com/jefferson-bloom-child/131001481860.html" target="_blank">Jefferson Bloom shoes</a> from <a href="https://www.nativeshoes.com/" target="_blank">Native Shoes</a> are perfect for Bella and Bodhi! Not only are they super cute, but they are created from environmentally friendly materials which I love! They are made with repurposed algae, using Rise by Bloom technology, and the process to create each pair helps restore clean air and water on our earth (how cool is that? You can read more about the <a href="https://www.nativeshoes.com/" target="_blank">Native</a> "Rise by Bloom" technology and process <a href="https://www.nativeshoes.com/blog/rise-bloom.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. They feature a perforated upper, shock absorbent bottom sole and a rubber toe cap made with recycled materials. These slip on shoes are easy for kids to put on and take off all on their own, and even easier to clean. Just wash them off (hand washable) and you're ready to go again! They're lightweight so kids don't get tired as easily while walking and they're odor resistant as well (because let's face it, stinky kids shoes are not a fun thing to smell haha). <a href="https://www.nativeshoes.com/" target="_blank">Native</a> really thought of everything with these shoes. They come in 8 beautiful colors, I of course chose the "Bone White" because I wanted them to match with all of their clothing, and well, I do love a good neutral, but I also really love the "Ivy Green" color (it's pretty much the perfect shade of green. If that wasn't already great enough, they also sell them in <a href="https://www.nativeshoes.com/jefferson-bloom/111001481860.html" target="_blank">adult sizes</a>! I don't know about you, but these are definitely on my wish-list!

They've consistently been one of my favorite brands for so long, but last autumn, Bodhi finally outgrew his last bonnet and decided he wasn't really into bonnets anymore. I was a pretty sad mom to say the least (I love bonnets haha), but I was pretty stoked to recently discover that they have <a href="https://briarbaby.com/collections/bucket-hats" target="_blank">bucket hats</a> now, something I know Bodhi will definitely wear, and Bella is already obsessed with bucket hats. We are in the sun a lot throughout the year here in coastal South Carolina, so these make so much sense for our lifestyle. Not only because they protect their little faces so well on beach days, but because they're also so ridiculously adorable! I chose this <a href="https://briarbaby.com/collections/bucket-hats/products/buttercup-bucket-hat" target="_blank">Buttercup Bucket Hat (made with Liberty fabric)</a> for Bella because it was my favorite print bonnet of hers when she was little, and went with this <a href="https://briarbaby.com/collections/bucket-hats/products/rust-bucket-hat" target="_blank">Rust Linen Bucket Hat</a> for Bodhi (I'm such a sucker for a good linen fabric). They also have<a href="https://briarbaby.com/collections/adult-sizes" target="_blank"> adult sizes</a> (which of course made me happy, especially since I'd already been looking for a nice bucket hat for myself), so you can go for the "mama and me" look, or get matching hats for all your kiddos of all ages! I love that all of their hats are proudly made right here in the USA, that their hats are easy to wash and wear and especially that all of their products are created using the highest quality natural fabrics to ensure breathability (that are also water friendly). Their hats are inclusive and made for ALL hair types, and they are ethically hand crafted in their studio in Vancouver, Washington!

There's nothing better than a nice soft blanket to snuggle up in during winter, and since winter doesn't really start until around January here, these blankets couldn't come at a better time for my babies (who aren't quite so little anymore). <a href="https://cocomoonhawaii.com/" target="_blank">Coco Moon Hawaii</a> has some of the softest blankets around and they're without a doubt one of our most favorite brands. They're made of 100% rayon (made from bamboo and cotton), super snuggly (so snuggly I find myself sleeping with them quite often as well haha), and of course come in the cutest ocean and surf inspired prints ever! <a href="https://cocomoonhawaii.com/products/surf-report-quilt" target="_blank">The Surf Report Quilt</a> and <a href="https://cocomoonhawaii.com/products/plumeria-quilt" target="_blank">Plumeria Quilt</a> have been favorites in our home for the past several years, and I'm stoked to give Bella the <a href="https://cocomoonhawaii.com/products/sea-flower-mama-blanket" target="_blank">Sea Flower Throw Blanket</a> (which is sadly sold out and will not restock, but they have so many beautiful new prints) this Christmas, and Bodhi the <a href="https://cocomoonhawaii.com/products/nalu-mama-blanket-1" target="_blank">Nalu Throw Blanket</a>. I'm sure I'll swipe them on occasion because they're just THAT GOOD, but thankfully the groms are pretty good about sharing with mama. A few things I love about <a href="https://cocomoonhawaii.com/" target="_blank">Coco Moon Hawaii</a> is that they've worked with small artists to create the designs and prints on their products, their packaging is eco friendly and biodegradable (shipping bags made from cassava starch), and that 1% of all sales are donated to Hawaiian non-profits! You can check out all of their beautiful designs <a href="https://cocomoonhawaii.com/" target="_blank">HERE,</a> they even sell baby clothing, swaddles, crib sheets, hooded towels, security blankets, baby quilts, changing pad covers, mama robes and so much more!

Every time we vacationed at the beach I noticed how many cheap plastic beach toys we saw on the beach. Lost, forgotten, broken, discarded, or just left because people were going back home after vacation and didn't need those cheap toys anymore because they didn't live near water, so out of plain carelessness they just left them. They had no use for them, so they just left them scattered along the beach, not caring whether they ended up in the ocean, floating and polluting our seas, broken on the beach, etc.. Since moving to the beach living here, I've seen it even more than before, it's constant. It's been very eye opening, how much plastic waste ends up in our seas so carelessly, so we try to be even more mindful of what we bring to the ocean now. While my kiddos do still have some plastic toys they bring to the beach sometimes (most of it found abandoned on the beach), we try to make sure we pack out what we pack in. We try to keep our toys away from the water while we're not actively plating with them so they're not accidently swept away by a wave, and we also try to use a lot of beach toys that are more naturally made. We love that </span><a href="https://lovelotte.com/products/eco-beach-toy-set" style="color: #444444;" target="_blank">Love Lotte beach toys</a><span style="color: #444444;"> are fun, but we especially love that they are created with bamboo, so they are more environmentally friendly. Another thing we love is that these beach toys are extremely sturdy and last for years! We actually have another set of these beach toys that we've loved for several years now and I'm stoked that Bella and Bodhi will have another couple sets now (so they won't have to argue about who gets to play with them now haha). They'll be able to make even bigger sand castles now, while also having enough sand toys that friends can play with them as well! Their </span><a href="https://lovelotte.com/products/eco-beach-toy-set" style="color: #444444;" target="_blank">Eco Beach Toy Set</a><span style="color: #444444;"> is constructed from bamboo fiber, ensuring that it will last for years to come. However, if they do ever happen to accidently end up lost in the ocean (or buried in sand or dirt), it makes me feel better knowing that they will break down into harmless organic matter in about 12 months!

While I love making them dough to play with, I don't always have the extra time (or more honesty, the extra energy) so I was really excited when <a href="https://www.landofdough.com/" target="_blank">Land of Dough</a> offered to send over a few cups of dough for the kids this year! They've been one of our favorite brands of play dough for the past couple of years and I love that they create their products with the environment in mind! <a href="https://www.landofdough.com/" target="_blank">Land of Dough</a> uses all natural colors, compostable glitters and even paper packaging for their dough! <a href="https://www.landofdough.com/" target="_blank">Land of Dough</a> products are made here in the USA and their manufacturing process is also designed to leave a small carbon footprint. They use a wind powered facility and use reclaimed landfill gas as a heat source. Their dough is crafted with all natural ingredients, including coconut oil, compostable glitter, natural colors and essential oils, like chamomile, lemongrass and lavender. Why essential oils? To create a calming, sensory, play experience for your child while they use their imagination and create whatever their amazing little minds can come up with! Each cup of dough is hand made and their designs are the coolest! They sent over their "<a href="https://www.landofdough.com/products/land-of-dough-7-ounce-under-the-sea-luxe-large-cup" target="_blank">Under the Sea</a>" and "<a href="https://www.landofdough.com/products/land-of-dough-5-ounce-mermaid-lagoon-medium-scoop" target="_blank">Mermaid Lagoon</a>" dough cups that I know Bella is going to love, and I plan on giving Bodhi their "<a href="https://www.landofdough.com/products/my-treasure-island" target="_blank">My Treasure Island</a>" dough cup (he loves pirates) as well as the "<a href="https://www.landofdough.com/products/land-of-dough-5-ounce-seascape-medium-scoop" target="_blank">Seascape</a>" dough cup. Their dough not only smells good, but is fun to play with, and lasts so well (it can be rehydrated to make it last even longer), and it makes the most perfect stocking stuffer!

Bella is at that age where she loves all things accessories, bracelets, scrunchies, necklaces, hair clips, rings, you name it, if it's an accessory, she probably loves it. Her absolute favorite of all though, are bracelets. She has a whole collection that she loves wearing (and adding to), and she of course loves choosing which bracelet she's going to wear with her outfit every day. <a href="https://poppylaneandco.com/" target="_blank">Poppy Lane and Co.</a> is a super cute shop that sells beautiful bracelets, we actually had some of their bracelets for Bella when she was little (but unfortunately she outgrew them) and I am so excited to give Bella another one this Christmas. She is going to be so stoked to find this <a href="https://poppylaneandco.com/products/pastel-letters-on-white-beads-without-metallics-between" target="_blank">Pastel Letters on White Beads (Without Metallics Between) Bracelet</a> under the tree (or more likely in her stocking) this Christmas morning. I love that the <a href="https://poppylaneandco.com/products/pastel-letters-on-white-beads-without-metallics-between" target="_blank">Pastel Letters Bracelet</a> bracelet is customizable, you can choose which size works best for your little one (or you) and you can also choose which letters you want to make whatever word you'd like! Poppy Land & Co. has so many bracelet options, different bead styles and colors to choose from, it's so much fun creating bracelets on their website. I also grabbed this <a href="https://poppylaneandco.com/products/baltic-amber-baby-necklace-polished-multicolor" target="_blank">Baltic Amber (Polished Multicolor) Baby Necklace</a> and <a href="https://poppylaneandco.com/products/rainbow-adult-bracelet" target="_blank">Baltic Amber (Polished Rainbow) Adult Bracelet</a> for Bodhi that I'm excited to give him. We've been huge fans of Baltic amber jewelry for years (since Bella was an infant) and since Bodhi has been wearing an old one of Bella's for quite some time, I thought it was time for him to get a new one entirely of his own!

My kids are board riders of all kinds and I know they're going to be completely stoked to find these rad new items from <a href="https://iwipeout.com/" target="_blank">iWipeout</a> under the tree this year! <a href="https://iwipeout.com/" target="_blank">iWipeout</a> is a skateboard brand made by Triple Eight Distribution (such a great brand in the skateboard industry) for kids ages 3 to 11 and aimed at letting their creativity run wild! I feel like surfing, skateboarding and art all cruise along hand in hand, there are so many talented artists in the surf and skate community and <a href="https://iwipeout.com/" target="_blank">iWipeout</a> is the perfect way to usher in a whole new generation of little board rising artist groms! <a href="https://iwipeout.com/" target="_blank">iWipeout</a> boards and gear are dry erase and even come with their own non-toxic dry erase markers so your groms can get them customized to their own likes, interests and personalities as soon as they arrive! Their helmets, protective gear (wrist guards, knee pads and elbow pads), and even cruiser skateboards are durable and fun, because who says you can't look super sick while also staying safe? <a href="https://iwipeout.com/" target="_blank">iWipeout</a> has lots of colors and styles to choose from as well as two different size groups for groms of multiple ages! I'm pretty stoked to give the kids their own <a href="https://iwipeout.com/collections/all-products/products/wipeout-dry-erase-kids-helmet?variant=34655405637677" target="_blank">Wipeout Dry Erase Helmets</a> (I chose Bella's in Teal Blue and Bodhi's in Black), <a href="https://iwipeout.com/collections/all-products/products/wipeout-dry-erase-kids-pads?variant=40532798668845" target="_blank">Wipeout Dry Erase Pads</a> (went with the "Groovy" colorway for Bella, with the black for Bodhi), as well as their own <a href="https://iwipeout.com/collections/all-products/products/wipeout-dry-erase-kids-skateboards?variant=35088991518765" target="_blank">Wipeout Dry Erase Cruiser Skateboards</a> this Christmas (how adorable are these skateboards?)!

Storm Blade surfboards are so easy to pop up and catch waves on, and they make the experience of learning to surf so easy! Bella and Bodhi both rode their first waves on a <a href="https://shop.agit-global.com/brands/Storm-Blade-8/" target="_blank">Storm Blade</a> and even I caught my first waves on a Storm Blade this past summer! I'm pretty stoked that they were kind enough to send their <a href="https://shop.agit-global.com/surfboards-ssr/Storm-Blade/8ft-SSR/TURQUOISE/SB22SSR8/" target="_blank">8' SSR Soft Top Surfboard (in Azure Blue)</a>, as well as their <a href="https://shop.agit-global.com/accessories-leashes/Storm-Blade/Storm-Blade-Double-Swivel-Leash/black/SBACCLSH/" target="_blank">8' Double Swivel Surf Leash (in black)</a> our way to share about and I can't wait for the kids to find this under... well, probably more like beside the tree on Christmas morning. They are going to lose their minds (in the best way possible), and I really can't wait to see them shredding and catching waves with it! If you (or your groms, aka kids) have been wanting to get started in surfing, I highly recommend starting with one of these <a href="https://shop.agit-global.com/brands/Storm-Blade-8/" target="_blank">Storm Blade boards</a>. They have more volume than typical boards so they're perfect for beginners, and because this is the surf school model, they're also a little bit wider than your average surfboard, which is one reason they are so easy to learn with and stand up on! If you're local here in the Grand Strand area, you can find their boards here in Surfside Beach, SC at <a href="https://goodvibessurfshop.com/" target="_blank">Good Vibes Surf Shop</a> (a super cool shop with an awesome selection, and even more awesome people), or if you're based anywhere else in the US, you can check out all their boards <a href="https://shop.agit-global.com/brands/Storm-Blade-8/" target="_blank">HERE</a> or ask your local surf shop if they stock them!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAqIrjTj3D6PCWQGcKt0wEHBh6eIldOu8CkRrT1axg2PVgU6Ubfsrf54hQY36J3shr-dKhwY1-3no4hhdixG8Tb2sux13XEKkgdQGfm-1p4tEtSipaQNtirn73Q8aH6iSeXGyO0PXN0ObUemTG7CmGW4uTPJtMxFFw_HuL_V4A2_ifEXl4eBwUZfit/s6016/DSC_0941.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAqIrjTj3D6PCWQGcKt0wEHBh6eIldOu8CkRrT1axg2PVgU6Ubfsrf54hQY36J3shr-dKhwY1-3no4hhdixG8Tb2sux13XEKkgdQGfm-1p4tEtSipaQNtirn73Q8aH6iSeXGyO0PXN0ObUemTG7CmGW4uTPJtMxFFw_HuL_V4A2_ifEXl4eBwUZfit/w640-h426/DSC_0941.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://piggypaint.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">PIGGY PAINT</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">Like any girl, Bella LOVES nail polish! She'd probably paint them a new color every day if I let her, and half the fun is picking the nail polish off just so she can repaint them haha. One of our most favorite brands of nail polish is <a href="https://piggypaint.com/" target="_blank">Piggy Paint</a>, she loves them because they have so many pretty colors to choose from, and I love them because they are natural and non-toxic! We've been using their nail polishes for about 3 years now and at this point, Bella has quite the collection haha. She's going to be so stoked to add some new ones to the nail polish rotation (and honestly, I'm probably just as stoked to see her little face light up when she finds these under the tree). I love that <a href="https://piggypaint.com/" target="_blank">Piggy Paint</a> has an ethical and eco-minded mission, and that with their nail polish, children can experience the joy of painting their nails, but without all of the awful chemicals that's in your average nail polish. Piggy Paint is water based, almost completely odorless, dries hard (and doesn't just wash off), contains no parabens or alcohol, and is free of ALL harsh chemicals! <a href="https://piggypaint.com/" target="_blank">Piggy Paint</a> comes in so many colors (like so many) and each one is not only free of toxins, but also cruelty free and vegan! This year, she'll be getting "<a href="https://piggypaint.com/products/sea-ya-later" target="_blank">Sea Ya Later</a>" (a super pretty matte seafoam green), "<a href="https://piggypaint.com/products/neon-lights" target="_blank">Neon Lights</a>" (she's been asking for a "Barbie" pink to this one should be perfect), "<a href="https://piggypaint.com/products/mermaid-in-the-shade" target="_blank">Mermaid In The Shade</a>" (even the name of this one is cute), and the one I'm especially excited about, because she's been asking for glow in the dark nails for months, "<a href="https://piggypaint.com/products/radioactive" target="_blank">Radioactive</a>" (clear glow in the dark nail polish). They also sent over their adorable "<a href="https://piggypaint.com/products/oh-holly-jolly-gift-set" target="_blank">Oh Holly Jolly</a>" and "<a href="https://piggypaint.com/products/santas-sweetie-gift-set" target="_blank">Santa's Sweetie</a>" nail polish gift sets (that both include some super cute 3D nail art).

As a mama, I want him to learn new techniques to deal with emotions and frustration in a healthy way, so these <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/MOP/mop-rides/" target="_blank">Mop Rides books</a> came at exactly the perfect time for us. I love that these books teach mindfulness, breathing exercises as well as emotional regulation for kids, all in a fun and surf-inspired way! Bella and Bodhi both learned how to surf this past summer and love all things surf and ocean related, so I know these books are going to be a huge hit with them. Little surfer boy, Mop, studies the lessons of the sea, learning the ways of the waves, breathing, letting bad waves go by, and riding the good ones. Mop shows readers of all ages how to bring mindfulness (and the joy of surfing) into their lives in a cute, fun to read way, as well as bringing awareness to the issue of pollution in our oceans and on our planet. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rides-Waves-Life-Jaimal-Yogis/dp/1946764604" target="_blank">Mop Rides the Waves of Life</a> is the first book in the series, where Mop's Mom first introduces Mop (and all of us) to breathwork and mindfulness, becoming aware of what we are feeling, as well as our surroundings. In the second book, <a href="https://www.target.com/p/mop-rides-the-waves-of-life-by-jaimal-yogis-hardcover/-/A-79664456?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000012510700&CPNG=PLA_Entertainment%2BShopping%7CEntertainment_Ecomm_Hardlines&adgroup=SC_Entertainment&LID=700000001170770pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=c&location=9010594&targetid=pla-308131048976&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1248099&gclid=Cj0KCQiAg_KbBhDLARIsANx7wAwHVuBNhJybna46UHci7vi2DBHUsVrAxJjinlAvqjgfqq7mBrnMP04aAieuEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Mop Rides the Waves of Change</a>, we are introduced to Mop's Uncle, Kimo, who also teaches us some new mindfulness tips!

So since she's turning 9 this next week, we've obviously been using (and loving) their products for awhile and are huge fans. I love that their products are created from easy to read ingredients and I don't have to worry that I'm bathing my kids in toxins when they have a bath. Both the kids love bubble baths, but Bodhi is at that age where he is especially into them right now, he could spend hours upon hours in water, he loves it, so the <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/products/tubby-winter-collection?_pos=5&_sid=81d3fa0a1&_ss=r&variant=42658826453186" target="_blank">Sweet Jasmine Clove Bubble Bath</a> from the <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/products/tubby-winter-collection" target="_blank">Tubby Todd Winter Collection</a> is going to be a perfect gift. It smells so festive (perfect for the holiday season) and the designs on this limited edition bubble bath are perfect for the holiday season! We love how well their bubble bath suds up, but we especially love how perfect their products are for gifting to our family and friends who also have little ones! But what makes <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/" target="_blank">Tubby Todd</a> stand out from all the other brands lining the shelves out there? Aside from the great (and cleanly sourced) ingredient list, their products are formulated using only natural ingredients, are gluten free, dairy free, certified animal cruelty free and made right here in the USA!

So if your husband/boyfriend/fiancé/dad/uncle/etc.is anything like my husband and say they don't want anything, make sure you ignore them, because chances are, they really don't mean it, and this gift guide is the perfect way to find some cool, new (and useful) gifts for them that they'll love for years to come!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6oMdIt8IPisStuF61nZ70J4I6pCijrWdUEwbSTZkFpVDIWkO9nLuBUVLNZTNPYYnHTaoQBYs_NO2ohdtm618bcfGNeSfyKalhTF_7i44kFJoeYGOsrx8zwTLGlru4_nbunALadZqTay_KOMaQDgMQ7aKD3yfJlX0RMudgnXs4aMlertfBlTGbaQd/s6016/DSC_0389.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6oMdIt8IPisStuF61nZ70J4I6pCijrWdUEwbSTZkFpVDIWkO9nLuBUVLNZTNPYYnHTaoQBYs_NO2ohdtm618bcfGNeSfyKalhTF_7i44kFJoeYGOsrx8zwTLGlru4_nbunALadZqTay_KOMaQDgMQ7aKD3yfJlX0RMudgnXs4aMlertfBlTGbaQd/w640-h426/DSC_0389.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.nomadix.co/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">NOMADIX</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">We find ourselves at the beach 4 to 5 times a week, so we've found ourselves at times in need of extra gear that we hadn't needed before when we just visited the beach on vacation, versus actually living here like we do now. One of those things we've discovered that's super nice to have, is a changing poncho! They're nice to throw on when it's windy or chilly out, when you're changing into or out of swimwear, or just for throwing on top of wet swim or surf wear on the drive home from the beach. My husband has been wanting a poncho for awhile (after he realized how great the one he gifted to me earlier this year was), so needless to say, I'm pretty stoked for him to find this one from <a href="https://www.nomadix.co/" target="_blank">Nomadix</a> under the tree for Christmas this year. He's actually had his eye on this <a href="https://www.nomadix.co/collections/ponchos/products/changing-poncho-baja-aqua" target="_blank">Baja Aqua Poncho Towel</a> for awhile and he mentioned to me that it reminded him of the years he lived in Arizona, so this will not only be a great way to give him something that's not only practical, and something that will be used on a regular basis, but also something that will remind him of good memories made while living out west. Some things I love about the <a href="https://www.nomadix.co/collections/ponchos/products/changing-poncho-baja-aqua" target="_blank">Baja Aqua Poncho Towel</a> is that it is a 3-in-1 product: it's of course a changing poncho but also a towel, but also can turn into a beach blanket (the hood even doubles as an umbrella hole! It's made with post consumer certified recycled materials (1 poncho towel = 66 water bottles), it's sand resistant, quick dry, super absorbent, pet hair resistant, it has button closure to allow for changing on the go, and comes in a ton of colors! <a href="https://www.nomadix.co/" target="_blank">Nomadix</a> has so many styles available for everyone, and sizes for every age and every body. Head <a href="https://www.nomadix.co/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to shop and check out all of their styles!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8gOVRhP2TaEBae74H6znffH-B2Vgd1AV8_CES-3MRlSsypjNnUATQzsJe8YDTUhVC1Lg7zMJNMQn76qLHJFbDwKAIXMIv7zhCLwTgdeUXh_PrpJfipeWUHJubuK8QcSMOHmbOb5xA58ZBvFgTea86glbYp3NqBhXzA-oRRLfMkmVOx-dIX7oJypme/s6016/DSC_0321.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8gOVRhP2TaEBae74H6znffH-B2Vgd1AV8_CES-3MRlSsypjNnUATQzsJe8YDTUhVC1Lg7zMJNMQn76qLHJFbDwKAIXMIv7zhCLwTgdeUXh_PrpJfipeWUHJubuK8QcSMOHmbOb5xA58ZBvFgTea86glbYp3NqBhXzA-oRRLfMkmVOx-dIX7oJypme/w640-h426/DSC_0321.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://speaqua.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">SPEAQUA</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">Do you love taking your music on the go? We do! We never really had that option before this year because we didn't have a portable speaker, but over the summer we purchased a <a href="https://speaqua.com/" target="_blank">Speaqua</a> portable speaker from <a href="https://goodvibessurfshop.com/" target="_blank">Good Vibes Surf Shop</a> (in Surfside Beach, South Carolina) and we were so stoked to finally be able to listen to our favorite songs, anywhere, anytime! Wanna know one of my favorite things about them? They are 100% waterproof!! They're also shock proof, sand proof, floatable, dust proof, Bluetooth enabled, BUT you can also store up to 2,00 songs on them if you'd rather not take your phone with you! They have a 4-in-1 mounting system (the suction on the bottom is my current favorite way, but it's also removable), and dual speaker pairing, which I am super stoked to try after Christmas! Things that make this speaker even cooler? They have an 8 hour battery life, are water play enabled (this thing was so much fun to bring to the pool and beach this past summer) which enables you to play and listen to your favorite songs anywhere, with or without your phone). It also has a speakerphone! Honestly, the features just keep going, this is one cool little speaker, not to mention for as small as it is, it packs a powerful punch and has a great sound! We have the <a href="https://speaqua.com/products/the-barnacle-pro?variant=31551894880313" target="_blank">Barnacle Pro in Pelagic</a> (such a pretty color) and I'm stoked to give this new <a href="https://speaqua.com/products/the-vibe-2-0?variant=41464166056093" target="_blank">Barnacle Vibe 2.0 in Stone</a> to Frank for Christmas, I know he's going to be so excited to have more than one so we can both listen to our music (and so he can also play music on this and play his guitar along with it). <a href="https://speaqua.com/" target="_blank">Speaqua</a> has so many cool colors and several more styles available, check them all out <a href="https://speaqua.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgmJ8SUMdi_DUCO3unJNlblnjt56VyANMnEtAWEHjNnTcM6BS2Amv3FuPlxcfhUPMpeP-iJaoC1fIPyuIFFpq49AmcIM2E-z8QCjAwQVqvLfpZzOQ2-wbfUSVhKIKb8QdTx_0Jm_zUIIG96pzYE_xawqKEcvWaFK8Dp6kSK7SLDGPODGrsmWARta6/s6016/DSC_0347.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYgmJ8SUMdi_DUCO3unJNlblnjt56VyANMnEtAWEHjNnTcM6BS2Amv3FuPlxcfhUPMpeP-iJaoC1fIPyuIFFpq49AmcIM2E-z8QCjAwQVqvLfpZzOQ2-wbfUSVhKIKb8QdTx_0Jm_zUIIG96pzYE_xawqKEcvWaFK8Dp6kSK7SLDGPODGrsmWARta6/w640-h426/DSC_0347.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.coastalgreenwellness.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">COASTAL GREEN WELLNESS</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">I love that there are so many things in nature that can be used medicinally, CBD is one of those things that we started using last year and are such a big fan of. One of our most favorite brands, <a href="https://www.coastalgreenwellness.com/" target="_blank">Coastal Green Wellness</a>, is actually local to us here in the Myrtle Beach area! It was great going from purchasing online to actually being able to go in person to one of their locations to shop. There are very few brands I actually trust when it comes to CBD, and <a href="https://www.coastalgreenwellness.com/" target="_blank">Coastal Green Wellness</a> is at the top of that list. They'll give you any info you need, and are super knowledgeable and always available to answer any and all questions related to CBD at any time, whether that be in person at one of the Grand Strand locations (located in Market Commons, and North Myrtle Beach, as well as a separate location in ----- Georgia), or online through social media or email! We've used their tinctures for well over a year and a half and loved them (especially for anxiety and similar issues), this <a href="https://www.coastalgreenwellness.com/collections/coastal-green-cbd/products/1000mg-full-spectrum-cbd-oil" target="_blank">1200MG Full Spectrum CBD Oil Tincture</a> one is one we love and I highly recommend. This <a href="https://www.coastalgreenwellness.com/collections/coastal-green-cbd/products/natures-way-pain-cream-250mg-1oz" target="_blank">Nature's Way 500MG Pain Cream</a> is one of my absolute favorite products of all time, it not only does wonders for muscle pain and tenderness, but also works fantastic for headaches! When I had my concussion this summer (from jumping into the pool backwards and it was shallower than I thought, ya know, yolo haha) I was suffering from some extremely intense headaches and neck pain, concussion symptoms are no joke and my neck muscles were so tense from it, this not only helped my neck feel better, but my headache also was less severe for a few hours after applying and I was able to rest (I sure love when products pull double duty). They have many more awesome products (gummies for example, that are awesome for the entire fam) that you can find in store at one of the locations I mentioned above, or on their website <a href="https://www.coastalgreenwellness.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> that you can shop from anywhere and have it shipped right to your door!

We're in the sun a lot on the beach and of course the water reflects the sun making it even stronger. This past summer, we found that the days we spent out in the water the whole day, versus sitting or walking on the beach, we were always burnt more (even when we applied sunscreen multiple times), so I brought out the big guns and asked a bunch of seasoned surfers in a group on Facebook which sunscreen they found to be the best, and over half of the comments said the same thing: <a href="https://www.surfdurt.com/" target="_blank">Surf Durt</a>! What is Surf Durt? Well according to them, it's like regular sunscreen, but better! What makes <a href="https://www.surfdurt.com/collections/neutral-tan-sunscreen/products/surfdurt-sunscreen-spf-30-neutral-tan-color" target="_blank">Surf Durt</a> better though? I asked myself the same question, so I delved into the ingredients and what makes them, ya know, them... and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed! First off, <a href="https://www.surfdurt.com/collections/neutral-tan-sunscreen/products/surfdurt-sunscreen-spf-30-neutral-tan-color" target="_blank">Surf Durt</a> contains only 10 ingredients and each one of those 10 ingredients have easy to read names and half of them are certified organic! <a href="https://www.surfdurt.com/collections/neutral-tan-sunscreen/products/surfdurt-sunscreen-spf-30-neutral-tan-color" target="_blank">Surf Durt</a> is all natural, reef-safe (a huge huge thing), zinc based <a href="https://www.surfdurt.com/collections/neutral-tan-sunscreen/products/surfdurt-sunscreen-spf-30-neutral-tan-color" target="_blank">sunscreen with an SPF of 30</a>, plus it comes in a reusable bamboo container that is has an aluminum lining inside (reusable and up-cyclable to create less waste polluting our earth). It is high performance (hence why it was recommended by so many surfers), offers broad spectrum UV protection, boasts a water resistance time of 80 minutes (because let's face it, we all hate reapplying sunscreen, so the less I have to apply it, the better). It's also cruelty free and made right here in the USA (in California). Just how important is it to use sunscreen that is reef-safe though? According to studies, chemicals in sunscreen bleach and kill coral reefs, impairs growth of algae, causes birth defects in mussels and accumulates in dolphins (which then transfers to their young when they are born), gives unnatural characteristics to fish and harms their reproductive systems, and damages the immune systems of sea urchins. Not to mention toxic chemicals from sunscreens seep into your bloodstream in just a few seconds after slathering it on, they have also been found in human breast milk, and there are concerns that it causes hormone disruption in some people. I think it's a good time to take a good long look at the ingredients and products we all put on our skin, demand better for ourselves, our children and our planet, and that all starts with supporting the people who actually care and offer products worth buying, like <a href="https://www.surfdurt.com/collections/neutral-tan-sunscreen/products/surfdurt-sunscreen-spf-30-neutral-tan-color" target="_blank">Surf Durt</a>!

They are a moto-outdoors inspired men's specialty shop with a focus on American made, quality, adventure ready goods for the men in your life, and let me tell you, if you are ever gift shopping for a man, <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/" target="_blank">Rambler</a> is 100% the place you should be. I love the vibe of the store, it's earthy, makes me want to go camping, snuggle up in a cozy wool blanket while wearing a flannel, and sitting around a campfire while sipping warm coffee... It's just such a good vibe. While in <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/" target="_blank">Rambler</a>, you'll discover the most perfect gifts at all price points, from tee shirts, flannels, jackets, wool blankets, grills and charcoal, handmade soaps, to hair/body/skin care for men, spices and sauces, accessories, drinkware, decor, pants, footwear, bags, hats and so much more. Last time I was there, I picked up a new handmade soap for Frank (one of the best, most universally usable gifts I love to give), along with a new flannel shirt! I absolutely love my husband in flannels in the fall and winter, I got him a Pendleton flannel from <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/" target="_blank">Rambler</a> last year and this year I chose this Howler Brothers flannel. The color combinations of aqua, teal and brown flannel immediately caught my eye and I knew he had to have this one. It gives me all the surfy autumn vibes which I of course love. Pair it with a pair of khakis and a beanie and you've got a great outfit for family photos or for everyday life! The fabric is so buttery soft and so warm, it come with reinforced elbows, custom metal buttons, a hunters yoke on the right shoulder, it also has a small microfiber cloth stitched right to the inside of the hem so you can clean your glasses on the go (how seriously awesome is that?). If you're local here in Myrtle Beach or anywhere near Peoria, Illinois (where they have a second location), head to <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/" target="_blank">Rambler</a>, check out their selection and scoop up a few gifts for the men in your life. If you're based anywhere else in the United States, you can shop their website and find all of their awesome products <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgriB8TiSmG-cOs_diPAV66_XsBYVRahVOG7O2GJvEC_jYYiP6SepXrzHnL4pAsHAptljdJCgqFU87wsdBLKW0FU2g6eyJnulDqcyT91PAUEcf1mhSXIbD56ZOYboTcAJE3jxYb4NOfmKnVoSSFKp-vJylvqDVx8CLObH00vl6ApKVvJJuluwIIb54O/s6016/DSC_0360.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgriB8TiSmG-cOs_diPAV66_XsBYVRahVOG7O2GJvEC_jYYiP6SepXrzHnL4pAsHAptljdJCgqFU87wsdBLKW0FU2g6eyJnulDqcyT91PAUEcf1mhSXIbD56ZOYboTcAJE3jxYb4NOfmKnVoSSFKp-vJylvqDVx8CLObH00vl6ApKVvJJuluwIIb54O/w640-h426/DSC_0360.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">BEACH HIPPIE COFFEE</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">My all time favorite thing to gift to my husband, for really any occasion, is coffee! Not only is it just an enjoyable gift because it tastes great, but because you start your morning with a big mug of it, it's something that has multiple servings and can be used quite a few times, it can be shared with family and friends, and when it's gone, it's gone. It's not something that will stay around forever collecting dust on a shelf after the newness has worn off, you consume it, enjoy it and buy more for the next gifting occasion. So as I'm sure you can already imagine, over the course of the past few years, my husband has tried many, many different coffees (haha). This year, I kept it local with one of our absolute favorites, <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/" target="_blank">Beach Hippie Coffee</a>! I not only love supporting locals, but they are my absolute favorite coffee shop of all time. They have the best vibe at their shop, surf decor and local art all around the entire place and all of their employees always have the biggest friendly smiles on their faces every time I'm in. Their coffee is the real star though, and their "Longboard" coffee is to die for (I always get it iced with coconut milk), it tastes similar to an almond joy candy bar, layered with flavors of espresso, chocolate and coconut (not only my favorite scent ever, but one of my favorite flavors of all time). Thankfully though, even if you're not local, you can still try all things <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/" target="_blank">Beach Hippie Coffee</a> via their website! They sell bags of their coffee beans (with <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/1b-beach-hippie-coffee-select-coffee-origin-below" target="_blank">8+ roasts and origins available</a> to choose from) as well as lots of super rad merch (like <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/white-t-shirt-front-left-chest-logo-and-back-logo" target="_blank">tees</a>, <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/beach-hippe-coffee-trucker-hat" target="_blank">hats</a>, <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/hippie-sweatshirt" target="_blank">sweatshirts</a>, <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/die-cut-beach-hippie-bus-sticker" target="_blank">stickers</a>, <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/caffeine-fueled-joy-ceramic-mugs-with-clay-bottom" target="_blank">mugs</a>, <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/16-can-glass" target="_blank">can glasses</a> and more)! I can't wait to give Frank one of their <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/1b-beach-hippie-coffee-select-coffee-origin-below" target="_blank">1 lb. bags of "Tanzania Peaberry" origin coffee</a> for Christmas this year, as well as one of their <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/beach-hippie-beanie" target="_blank">Beach Hippie Beanies</a> (that's super soft and cozy) and one of their new <a href="https://beachhippiecoffee.com/shop/ols/products/16-can-glass" target="_blank">16 oz.

Hand made, wheel thrown or hand built, I think it's all just awesome, and what I really love is that due to the handmade nature of it all, each and every single piece is unique and slightly different than the last, no matter how much a potter tries to make them exactly the same, they will still always be slightly unique in nature (kinda like us humans). Last fall while walking through one of our local farmers markets, I was lucky enough to cross paths and meet Rebecca from <a href="https://rootedbeautypottery.com/" target="_blank">Rooted Beauty Pottery</a>! She is a former school teacher who followed her heart to pursue her art and is now a local pottery artist who makes beautiful nature inspired creations, and also teaches pottery classes for all ages at her studio! Her work at <a href="https://rootedbeautypottery.com/" target="_blank">Rooted Beauty Pottery</a> is all so beautiful and makes me think of a nice long walk in the forest, under a canopy of pine trees, mushrooms peaking out to say hello, and coming upon a clearing with a deep pool of shining blue-green water... Okay, maybe I waxed poetic, but just look at her website with all of her pretty handmade pieces and try to tell me you don't get the same vibes?! She was so kind to drop this beautiful handmade pottery mug off for me recently and I'm really excited to give it to my husband for Christmas this year (it's going to go perfectly with the coffee I'm giving him). If mugs aren't your thing, she has some of the most beautiful <a href="https://rootedbeautypottery.com/collections/dinnerware-sets" target="_blank">handmade plates</a> I've ever seen available right now (like this <a href="https://rootedbeautypottery.com/products/pistachio-dinner-plate" target="_blank">"Pistachio" dinner plate</a> that would make a perfect mini charcuterie board for the holiday season), as well as some absolutely beautiful <a href="https://rootedbeautypottery.com/collections/ornaments" target="_blank">pottery Christmas ornaments</a> (currently crushing hard on this <a href="https://rootedbeautypottery.com/products/deep-sea-snowflake-ornament" target="_blank">"Deep Sea Snowflake" ornament</a>)!

The holiday season is here and I couldn't be more stoked, not only because it's Christmas (Christmas is about the only holiday I actually really, really love) but also, because I finally get so excited to share my holiday gift guides with you guys! These gift guides are the culmination of months of work and lots of late nights, putting together a list of items I know you'll love, well, because I love them! A huge thanks goes out to all of the brands involved because it wouldn't be possible without them! I can't wait to see what you choose as gifts (for friends, family and even yourself) from these lists! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays friends!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggm3iRPLM6-ZasgFUqQF9tXxYxbaBdpoqi7JzhByB_REsFnICBIs-DNj0RVhtnesqMmbqjCd3QsT9THqcQSDJRfakV7NZyuFxKQ1YX--AhQlK2fyOl_M5_1Le8QwVwkVAhBKww9S_Z_Dfixs7Kwveu71YVZMcmZN-ZrMzDY2imrZyrvoNwY3yPnMrS/s6016/DSC_0711%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggm3iRPLM6-ZasgFUqQF9tXxYxbaBdpoqi7JzhByB_REsFnICBIs-DNj0RVhtnesqMmbqjCd3QsT9THqcQSDJRfakV7NZyuFxKQ1YX--AhQlK2fyOl_M5_1Le8QwVwkVAhBKww9S_Z_Dfixs7Kwveu71YVZMcmZN-ZrMzDY2imrZyrvoNwY3yPnMrS/w640-h426/DSC_0711%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://briarbaby.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">BRIAR</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">I've shared previously how much I love <a href="https://briarbaby.com/" target="_blank">Briar Baby</a> headwear, and if you've followed me over on Instagram for any amount of time, you'll know I used to religiously put my kids in bonnets. I mean, if they'd still let me put them in bonnets, I probably still would haha. I really love babies and toddlers in bonnets, and while I'm bummed that they're both much too grown up for that now (or at least they think so), I am pretty happy that they've released some hats for not only older kids, but adults as well! When bucket hats became all the rage a couple years ago, I was like "nope, big nope", but ya know, times are a-changing, and I finally ended up liking them. So over the summer, I started searching for that perfect bucket hat, I wasn't having much luck until I came across <a href="https://briarbaby.com/" target="_blank">Briar Baby</a>! Turns out, they'd started making more than just bonnets and baby sunhats, and had expanded their collection to include bucket hats for not only older kids, but *gasp* adults as well! Well, I've always had a soft spot for the fabrics they use and the colors they source, so of course I immediately fell in love with these. I'd always been slightly obsessed with their mustard floral "buttercup" fabric and slightly jealous that I didn't have anything in that fabric while Bella had both a bonnet (from Briar) and a hairbow (from another brand) in that fabric (you can bet I put her in them every chance I got). So when I saw they had a hat for adults in the same fabric I've loved all these years, my jaw dropped so far to the floor I had to reach down and pick it back up. Briar made all my bucket hat dreams come true with this <a href="https://briarbaby.com/collections/adult-sizes/products/adult-buttercup-bucket-hat-made-with-liberty-fabric" target="_blank">adult Buttercup bucket hat</a> (made with Liberty fabric). I also really love this <a href="https://briarbaby.com/collections/adult-sizes/products/adult-picket-bucket-hat" target="_blank">adult "Picket" bucket hat</a> (that's made from linen fabric) just screams summertime... and also makes me realize I have a thing for the color mustard. Briar products are made in the USA, created using natural fabrics for ultimate breathability as well as keeping the environment in mind (their fabrics are also water friendly which is a good thing considering how much we are in the ocean).

Their mission, their designs and branding, their products... like everything is just so good? Well, I found one of those good-good brands like that earlier this year. Maybe you've heard of them (if you're a woman who surfs you probably have), but maybe you haven't, either way, I'm pretty excited to introduce <a href="https://www.wave-maiden.com/" target="_blank">Wave Maiden</a>! They offer surf goods that are good for the earth, as well as being pretty cool. They have a range of products including <a href="https://www.wave-maiden.com/collections/goods" target="_blank">towels, tees, totes, stickers, mugs,</a> but I'm especially stoked about their 100% organic surf wax and upcycled surf wax comb! I mean, I've seen lots of surf wax combs, and I'm sure you have too, but have you ever seen one like this? Not only does it look super rad, but I love that it's made from ingredients that normally would go to waste. Each <a href="https://www.wave-maiden.com/products/wax-comb" target="_blank">Surf Wax Comb</a> is created using excess bio epoxy from a custom eco surfboard factory's by product supply in Southern California. No two wax combs will be the same, each one is slightly unique with different placement of resin swirls and shred colors inside. I love that <a href="https://www.wave-maiden.com/" target="_blank">Wave Maiden</a> and the shapers they teamed up with found such a creative and awesome use for this bio epoxy to give it a brand new life! I'm also pretty stoked to try out their wax come springtime and warmer waters. They sent over a bar of their <a href="https://www.wave-maiden.com/products/botanical-base-wax" target="_blank">Botanical Base Wax</a> and their <a href="https://www.wave-maiden.com/products/warm-tropical-wax" target="_blank">Warm/Tropical Wax</a>, and not only do they smell great, but I'm loving how great they are for the environment too! They are crafted to be grippy and long lasting with clean ingredients that are safe for the ocean and for you (like organic, all natural, high performance wax). It's all small batch, hand poured in the USA, as well as non-toxic, biodegradable and doesn't contain any petrochemicals. Wave Maiden's motto is waste no waves, and leave nothing but footprints, and I think they've done a great job of creating eco-friendly goods for surfers and for the earth.

We've used a woven straw bag and also a large canvas tote bag for our beach days over the past year, but I've been ready for something new, and <a href="https://aloha-collection.com/" target="_blank">Aloha Collection</a> was the perfect solution for us! I've had one of their smaller bags for years and absolutely adored it, it's been used to store my phone at the beach, as a little clutch style purse and currently, I'm using it as a makeup bag! I don't wear a ton of makeup, I usually keep it pretty simply with a BB cream, neutral eyeshadow, blush, a natural shade lipstick, an eyebrow pencil, a powder to finish everything off with, and if I'm feeling really extra, I'll throw on some mascara (which only tends to happen a few times a year if I'm being honest haha, so it all fits so nicely in my <a href="https://aloha-collection.com/" target="_blank">Aloha Collection</a> bag). The biggest reason I started using my bag as a makeup bag is because every other bag I'd use would get stained and ruined after a few months with little spots of makeup that wouldn't come out even with washing, this bag still looks brand new even after a year of being used to store makeup! To say I've been impressed with these bags would be an understatement, so of course I'm pretty stoked to add a few new ones to my collection. <a href="https://aloha-collection.com/" target="_blank">Aloha Collection</a> was kind enough to send the <a href="https://aloha-collection.com/collections/shop-all/products/tropics-day-tripper-pog" target="_blank">Tropics Day Tripper Bag</a> my way, which I know will be perfect for all the things on beach days, as well as this pretty matching <a href="https://aloha-collection.com/products/mid-tropics-pouch-pog" target="_blank">Tropics Mid Pouch </a>(doesn't this print just scream summer?) and this adorable <a href="Mid Pouch | Seaside" target="_blank">Seaside Mid Pouch</a> (I absolutely love this color and print. I love that their fabric is as soft as it is functional, and I also love that for each purchase made, they give back 5% to Hawaiian based conservation organizations!

For me, that's good undies! I started wearing all natural undies a few years ago and never looked back, they made such a difference in my health and were not only more breathable for my body, but were definitely made from softer fabric and were much more comfortable as well! My favorite brand of all time is, of course, <a href="https://knickey.com/" target="_blank">Knickey</a>! When I tell you their undies are comfortable... I'm just gonna tell you right now, you need them as soon as possible! <a href="https://knickey.com/" target="_blank">Knickey</a> is the only brand I wear at this point and for good reason. They are made with organic cotton! But why is that important? Well what if I told you, most cotton is treated using pesticides and toxins while being grown? I mean, I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want those touching the most delicate parts of my body, all day, every day. Organic cotton on the other hand (while being free of harmful chemicals) is typically grown in healthier, better soil, which in turn grows better quality cotton. Organic farming practices are generally more sustainable, and are also better for the environment, because organic cotton creates 46% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional cotton simply because they don't use harmful chemicals and toxins (and because they also use fewer mechanical farming practices). <a href="https://knickey.com/" target="_blank">Knickey</a> undies are created with 95% Certified Organic Cotton (with 5% elastane for stretch), feature a forgiving waistband that never digs in (seriously, I can't say it enough, they are just so comfortable), and minimal leg elastics for secure placement. I personally really love the <a href="https://knickey.com/products/high-rise-brief" target="_blank">High-Rise Brief</a> (which I chose in colors Beach Bum, Peachy Keen and Mist). They have more than just undies though, they also offer bralettes (I'm excited to try <a href="https://knickey.com/products/tank-bralette" target="_blank">this one</a>), as well as maternity undies, socks and more!

It's just a beautiful, light, tropical scent that makes me happy and makes me think of the best place on earth... the beach of course! I came across <a href="https://currentcandleco.com/" target="_blank">Current Candle Co.</a> last summer on Instagram, and then once again last winter at one of our local surf shops, <a href="https://goodvibessurfshop.com/" target="_blank">Good Vibes Surf Shop</a>! I've purchased more than a few of their candles now and I can confidently say, Current Candle Co. makes THE BEST candles ever! They make all natural soy wax candles (I seriously need them to make surf wax scented wax melts next... hint, hint, haha), using natural soy wax combined with 100% phthalate free fragrance oil, and a natural cotton wick (free from lead and zinc) for a clean even burn (they really do burn super clean and nice compared to a lot of candles I've used in the past). My favorite scent is of course their <a href="https://currentcandleco.com/products/surf-wax-1" target="_blank">Surf Wax candle</a>, but every single scent of theirs that I've smelled so far is a winner! Maybe coconut or surf wax isn't your thing? They have quite a few other scents like <a href="https://currentcandleco.com/products/vanilla-1" target="_blank">Vanilla</a> (such a good one for all seasons of the year), White Birch (perfect for winter and the holiday season), spiced honey (autumn perfection), <a href="https://currentcandleco.com/products/aperol" target="_blank">Aperol</a>, <a href="https://currentcandleco.com/products/caribbean-teakwood" target="_blank">Caribbean Teakwood</a>, <a href="https://currentcandleco.com/products/lavender-2" target="_blank">Lavender</a> and so many more! If you have a candle lover in your life (or maybe you're the candle lover haha), these candles from <a href="https://currentcandleco.com/" target="_blank">Current Candle Co.</a> make the best gifts! Find all current candles <a href="https://currentcandleco.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> and grab one (or a few) to make your home smell like a surfer's paradise!

Her pieces are so beautiful, delicate, exquisite and perfect... with a nod in style to sea dwellers, wave walkers, and those with saltwater in their veins, it's perfect for a salty soul like me. As most of your know, we moved to the beach a year ago, and finally after living my whole life feeling like I never quite fit in anywhere, I finally feel like I'm home. The sea is home for me, that feeling I feel when I'm sitting out on my surfboard and the community we've found here that has welcomed us with open arms, I finally feel a sense of belonging after so many years of searching for that. I've been looking for a piece of jewelry to wear since we moved down here that represented that feeling for me, and since surfing has captured my soul and the surf community is the one that we've grown to become a part of here, these pieces from <a href="https://jamesmichelle.com/" target="_blank">James Michelle</a> just felt right. This <a href="https://jamesmichelle.com/products/yin-wave-necklace" target="_blank">Yin Little Wave Necklace</a> is one of the prettiest necklaces I've seen in a long time and I can't wait to start wearing it every single day. It's available in 14k gold fill, 10k gold plated or sterling silver, and paired with a box style chain, it's perfectly minimal and feminine. The<a href="https://jamesmichelle.com/products/plated-surfer-ring" target="_blank"> Surfer Ring</a> is another piece of her jewelry that I am so ridiculously happy about, it's a simple way to add a touch of shiny to any outfit but also keep it simple. I love that when I slip on my James Michelle jewelry, I can wear a little bit of the sea and the waves that I love so much, on me.

It's been so much fun decorating our home since we moved in (in January of) this year, and I've gone with a California style surf inspired vibe. Lots of neutrals, light colors, natural fibers, rattan furniture and of course surfy and sea decor, like a tide clock, used surfboard fins, found seashells and coral, dried florals like pampas grass and palm leaves, a wooden wave, a vintage carved wooden whale, surf art, and more. I still have a few pieces of art and decor I have on my wish list to buy for our home and also still searching for a few vintage (or handmade) art pieces, but one thing I'm really stoked to hang up in our home soon is this <a href="https://slightlychoppy.com/products/aloha-flag-tan" target="_blank">Aloha Flag (in tan)</a> from <a href="https://slightlychoppy.com/" target="_blank">Slightly Choppy</a> (a piece I've had my eye on for several years). I plan to hang it on the wall near our Atlantic tide clock (where you'll be able to see it throughout most of our entire home) and I love that it will match everything so well since it is neutral in color (but is also comes in <a href="https://slightlychoppy.com/products/aloha-flag" target="_blank">this beautiful blue colorway</a>). I also love that it has a vintage feel to it, and especially love that each flag is handmade by the artist and designer, Scott (who is also a surfer and painter), in a salt boat shed in Newport Beach, CA! There is so much history in the location where these are crafted, an area that was known for nautical craftsmanship in days gone past, and <a href="https://slightlychoppy.com/" target="_blank">Slightly Choppy</a> aims to preserve that feeling and inspire a homage to the history while also drawing inspiration from favorite surf spots to create these beautiful flags. I love that these flags are more about authenticity and handmade imperfection (which we know is always the most perfect), making them slowly, one at a time and giving them that heirloom feel, rather than just creating as fast as possible in a factory and to make a quick sale. <a href="https://slightlychoppy.com/products/aloha-flag-tan" target="_blank">This flag</a> reminds me to slow down a bit and enjoy the aloha feeling that comes with surf life.

font-family: helvetica;">Hey there! It's been a minute. We moved into our new home in January and life has been an absolute whirlwind to say the least! We are so much more busy here day to day than we were back in Pennsylvania, which is both nice and hectic. We spend a lot of time outdoors, at the beach, at the skatepark, the pool, and we are absolutely loving our new home and our new life here! I'm so incredibly grateful to be able to live here so close to the ocean (we're about a 12 minute drive to the nearest beach) and raise our kiddos here. And it's obviously been a hot second since I shared some favorites with you guys, I'm stoked to share some new favorites with you that we've been trying out recently and grown to love, here they are below, let me know if any of them are your favorites too!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-5HERwJqkgg119ctYX4yPnqmCLyatdW3IxpJnjCMa8-tHG6zImpUHmq2RkZtCcryLgG-9_B5nmEhNrDnU-veIvEfIcSUstTwpaqtzxc9mS8uZs3XnFw4ZLTR0WvIEk_GYVkoncT4pAgN-HQhtxude3s9X6YtjQsW0_zMckD-FjvjVlYByllVK1F0L/s2242/20220405_172445.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2240" data-original-width="2242" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-5HERwJqkgg119ctYX4yPnqmCLyatdW3IxpJnjCMa8-tHG6zImpUHmq2RkZtCcryLgG-9_B5nmEhNrDnU-veIvEfIcSUstTwpaqtzxc9mS8uZs3XnFw4ZLTR0WvIEk_GYVkoncT4pAgN-HQhtxude3s9X6YtjQsW0_zMckD-FjvjVlYByllVK1F0L/w640-h640/20220405_172445.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.stasherbag.com/" target="_blank">STASHER</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">One thing I've always loved are zipper bags, because they're so useful; but one thing I also truly dislike are zipper bags, because they're so wasteful. Use them once and throw them away, if you're careful you might be lucky to get a few uses out of them if you carefully hand wash and dry them, but usually they end up getting a hole in them pretty quickly or the zipper or slide closure gets jammed or breaks. So as much as I love them, I stopped buying them regularly years ago, I think I only bought maybe 2 boxes in 6 years. One of my biggest issues with zipper bags (one of the main reasons I quite buying them) is because if I have them, I'll use them. I mean, they're so convenient, perfect for throwing snacks into for kiddos (crackers and cookies and apple slices and everything fit perfectly) and also great for temporarily storing small seashells and shark teeth when you're at the beach. So when we were staying with family at the end of last year while we were waiting for our new house to be ready, and I found myself reaching for them quite often, I knew something had to change. Especially since we live so close to the ocean and it's easier for plastic to find it's way into the sea here. So in came <a href="https://www.stasherbag.com/" target="_blank">Stasher reusable silicone bags</a> to the rescue! I first heard of them a few years ago when they were on Shark Tank and a few months ago purchased our first small <a href="https://www.stasherbag.com/" target="_blank">Stasher</a> snack bag at World Market and let me tell you, the <a href="https://www.stasherbag.com/" target="_blank">Stasher</a> love is real. <a href="https://www.stasherbag.com/" target="_blank">Stasher</a> was kind enough to send some our way not too long ago to add to our collection (because once you have one<a href="https://www.stasherbag.com/" target="_blank"> Stasher</a> bag you'll realize how much you love them and need more) and we are so stoked about them! I love that they are made from platinum silicone which means they are heavy duty and can be used for years and years (instead of a day or less), they have about a million uses, and at the end of it's life (which will most likely be a looong time from now) you can actually send it back to <a href="https://www.stasherbag.com/" target="_blank">Stasher</a> to upcycle it so it stays out of the landfill and ocean (they'll even send you a prepaid shipping label)! What exactly is platinum silicone? It's a type of silicone made from sand (silica) & oxygen (it also contains no added fillers, polymers, or by-products). <a href="https://www.stasherbag.com/" target="_blank">Stasher</a> bags are completely non-toxic (they pass FDA and EU food grade standards), and can be safely subjected to heat without the worry of toxic chemicals. One small change can make a huge impact and Stasher definitely does.

You can find their products at most local surf shops, as well as online on their website and amazon! Their signature <a href="https://ululagoon.com/collections/air-freshner/products/air-freshener-black-palms" target="_blank">Coconut Surf Wax scent</a> is undoubtedly one of my favorites favorites, you can find one of their <a href="https://ululagoon.com/collections/air-freshner" target="_blank">Scented Mini Waves Air Fresheners</a> (which are ONLY $2.99) hanging in our car at all times and I may or may not have a couple stashed around the house (closets and bathrooms are one of the greatest places to put them). All of their products are made in the United States, and if you couldn't get enough of the coconut surf wax scent with their hanging mini waves, they also sell <a href="https://ululagoon.com/pages/scented-candle" target="_blank">candles</a> like <a href="https://ululagoon.com/collections/shop-all-products/products/candle-16oz-ulu" target="_blank">this one</a> and <a href="https://ululagoon.com/collections/shop-all-products/products/candle-11oz-white-ulu" target="_blank">this super aesthetic one</a> (um, yes please) and <a href="https://ululagoon.com/collections/shop-all-products/products/reed-diffuser" target="_blank">reed diffusers</a> (<a href="https://ululagoon.com/collections/shop-all-products/products/reed-diffuser" target="_blank">this one</a> lasts for up to one year)! If you're like me, and the hanging mini waves, candles and reed diffusers don't even cut it because you're so obsessed... then their <a href="https://ululagoon.com/collections/shop-all-products/products/fragrance-roll-on" target="_blank">Beach Please!

Their products are some of the best around for aesthetic organization, the colors are so pretty, but best of all, their quality is absolutely amazing! Since we moved into our new home earlier this month, I've found the need for A LOT more baskets and bins for organization and storage, and the ones from <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/" target="_blank">Open Spaces</a> are perfect for all our needs. From books storage in the kids rooms to household cleaners storage to... well, pretty much everything you can think of, these <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/shop/large-baskets?variant=41247734497458" target="_blank">Large Wire Baskets</a> and these <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/shop/medium-storage-bins/?variant=41113020891314" target="_blank">Medium Storage Bins</a> work wonderfully. We got them both in <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/shop/large-baskets?variant=41247734464690" target="_blank">powder blue</a> last year and love that color, but I chose the <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/shop/medium-storage-bins/?variant=41113020891314" target="_blank">cream color</a> this time and love it even more! We actually decided to forgo buying a dresser for our bedroom in our new home (both the kids have dressers though) because we don't love having extra unneeded furniture taking up space, so since we have a big walk in closet attached to our bedroom/bathroom, we decided to just hang everything we could and then use baskets on the shelf for storage of things like socks, underclothes and pajamas! I'm honestly loving that we done that because it utilizes our space so well, space in our walk in closet doesn't go to waste, we aren't using space in our bedroom that could be better off for extra room AND we didn't have to spend several hundred dollars buying a dresser for our room. All around win-win. I also love them for putting an extra beach towel and sunscreen in for guests when we have friends or family visit us!

And did you know that only about 9% of that plastic waste is actually recycled? The stats blew my mind a little bit honestly. I've tried over the past few years to be more live more sustainably, but now that we live near the ocean, I'm trying to be even more conscious of how much plastic we use and bring in and out of our home. I can't tell you how much plastic and trash I pick up on the beach every single time we go, and I want to make sure my family doesn't contribute to that trash we find on the beach. Thankfully our community has a huge bin to put recyclables in and we also have a recycling facility down the road from us, but I also want to make sure we aren't using single use plastic needlessly. Which is why I was really stoked to find the brand <a href="https://www.betterbasics.co/" target="_blank">Better Basics</a>! <a href="https://www.betterbasics.co/" target="_blank">Better Basics</a> is a brand that makes going green so much easier, they believe that doing better and caring for the environment (and the world we are living in and leaving for the next generation) should be easier, so they created a line of products to help do just that. Cleaning and soap refills, reusable containers, and biodegradable products designs to help us eliminate plastic from our lives, or at least seriously lower our plastic usage, and every little bottle saved from a landfill or not purchased, adds up and creates an impact over time. <a href="https://www.betterbasics.co/" target="_blank">Better Basics</a> was so kind to send over their <a href="https://www.betterbasics.co/collections/eco-friendly-essentials/products/simple-suds-starter-kit" target="_blank">Simple Suds Starter Kit</a> (I chose the Mandarin, Cedar, Basil scent). Each kit comes with one extra-large refill jug filled with enough soap to fill and refill your soap dispenser 4 times, a stainless steel reusable soap pump (I chose the white "cloud" color, but they also have other colors like natural and charcoal).

Can you believe that Christmas is only 5 days away? Don't even get me started on the fact that an entire new year is only 12 days away! This year has flown by! Are you ready for the holidays? I made some chocolate chip cookies yesterday and will probably be baking sugar cookies tomorrow, I bought everything for our Christmas dinner (only thing I still have left to buy is raspberries for the cheesecake... because I already ate all the ones I bought haha), all of our Christmas shopping is done and I definitely need to finish up the wrapping. We went a little smaller this year gift wise, and honestly it felt a little bit refreshing. I</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"> kind of took it as a challenge to find nice gifts for the kids within the budget I had that were things I knew they'd really love. Like we bought each of them a book, some useful things (like an ocean cleanup bag for Bodhi, and a backpack for Bella) and a couple toys each for them. For Frank and I, I mostly (with the exception of a bag of Laird Superfood coffee for Frank) shopped small and local for ourselves (everything of mine came from surf shops, and are we really surprised? haha). The weather has been nice here and we've been going to the beach when we can, it's so strange (and wonderful) to be on the beach during December, definitely makes it not feel like Christmas is THIS week since we are used to snow this time of year, but hey, I'm not gonna complain about it at all! Anyways, I'm sharing some new favorites that we are currently loving below, hope you love them too (maybe you'll even find ideas for a last minute gift or two)! Merry Christmas!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhf6BnrIuBE85WVU74LL9IPUB40x73PPzBjuTp4nNA_UGeyzNYdP4tPYoAbLpHZkKFWKq4rTaJtU0UzWW1jQBjyQsEtpnbDN_5IeSNsw_4O5gPld91HtXUSXxObC7M9XlAaQOquR3-RLuNzSKTnvOpz-jgQqtawHNNmoRemsWbSe-rBw39wF013wYNC=s4000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhf6BnrIuBE85WVU74LL9IPUB40x73PPzBjuTp4nNA_UGeyzNYdP4tPYoAbLpHZkKFWKq4rTaJtU0UzWW1jQBjyQsEtpnbDN_5IeSNsw_4O5gPld91HtXUSXxObC7M9XlAaQOquR3-RLuNzSKTnvOpz-jgQqtawHNNmoRemsWbSe-rBw39wF013wYNC=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://kamulabs.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">KAMU CBD</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">I've been hearing about CBD forever and finally took the plunge this year and tried it. I am officially a CBD fan for life now. It's helped so much with my anxiety, for sleep, and even skin issues! One brand I've been trying and loving recently is <a href="https://kamulabs.com/" target="_blank">KAMU CBD</a>. <a href="https://kamulabs.com/" target="_blank">KAMU Labs</a> is a brand who creates plant based wellness products designed to help improve sleep, immunity, mood and overall daily life. They formulate and craft their product in small batches, partnering with farms based in Oregon and Minnesota to create their products, using only sustainable, responsible, organic and pesticide-free practices, to ensure the CBD in their products is clean, top quality and free of any impurities. <a href="https://kamulabs.com/" target="_blank">KAMU</a> sent over a few of their best selling products for me to try out: their <a href="https://kamulabs.com/products/kamu-dream-cbd-sleep-aid" target="_blank">KAMU Dream</a>, <a href="https://kamulabs.com/products/kamu-vitality-cbd-wellness-and-immune-support-drops" target="_blank">KAMU Vitality</a>, and <a href="https://kamulabs.com/products/kamu-recover-cbd-cream-for-muscle-soreness-and-pain" target="_blank">KAMU Recover</a>. They are all great products with different functions, I'm loving the Dream drops for sleep support (definitely notice a difference in my sleep quality when I use this), the Vitality drops are great for supporting your immune system (which is more important now than ever, especially as we are going into the colder seasons of the year), and this Recover topical balm is a literal dream product. Recover balm is so great for any and all aches and pains, formulated to gently ease tension, soothe sore muscles, relieve discomfort and aid in recovery, all while supporting the body's natural ability to fight soreness and discomfort, and simultaneously providing instant relief through a cooling sensation.

Their loungewear is perfect for lazy days, adventuring, wearing out and about for errands, and yep, even sleeping! I have a thing for matching sets and I love the little front pocket (Bodhi loves putting little toys in the pocket) as well as the details of the thumb holes and peekaboo heels! They are so soft and the colors are absolute perfection, you know I'm all about neutrals and earth tones, the <a href="https://goumikids.com/products/sea-glass-loungewear" target="_blank">Sea Glass set</a> is probably my favorite, that color is just so good, and I also really love the <a href="https://goumikids.com/products/loungewear-sunstripe" target="_blank">Sun Stripe</a> color, a little brighter than I typically choose but I thought it was such a fun look and it's super cute on him. <a href="https://goumikids.com/pages/_go_?ref=7791:163620&discount=JOYFULTRIBE&utm_source=aff&utm_medium=aff&utm_campaign=aff" target="_blank">Goumi</a> loungewear is created with a bamboo and organic cotton fabric mix which is what gives their clothing that extra soft feel and I am here for it. <a href="https://goumikids.com/pages/_go_?ref=7791:163620&discount=JOYFULTRIBE&utm_source=aff&utm_medium=aff&utm_campaign=aff" target="_blank">Goumi</a> also carries knitwear, and you already know I'm obsessed. I picked this <a href="https://goumikids.com/products/knit-hoodie-storm-gray" target="_blank">Storm Gray Knit Hoodie</a> for Bodhi as well and I am just a little bit obsessed, it's so soft and perfect for autumn with plenty of room to grow into next year as well! I don't just love this brand for all of their amazing products though, another huge reason we love hem is because they give back! Since the beginning of their brand, <a href="https://goumikids.com/pages/_go_?ref=7791:163620&discount=JOYFULTRIBE&utm_source=aff&utm_medium=aff&utm_campaign=aff" target="_blank">Goumi</a> has donated 10% of their profits to some of the world's most vulnerable, by helping rescued human trafficking victims stay rescued and giving preemie mitts to families in need in the NICU! how amazing is that?

You know I love a good small shop, and The Happy Sea is one of my new top favorites; they have so many cute items, each one of which has hand designed graphics fit for any mermaid (or merman) and are designs you'll want to wear again and again... or just stick on your vehicle so they're always on display... or both. Owyn, the owner and creative behind The Happy Sea, is a graphic designer with a background in marine biology and a lifelong love of the ocean, and her love of the sea definitely shows through her beautiful art work. Christmas is coming up fast (not sure how it's already November, but here we are and Christmas is already less than 2 months away) and if you need a good gift for the ocean lover in your life, <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/" target="_blank">The Happy Sea</a> is the perfect place to find it. They have items for everyone! A few of my favorites are this <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/collections/apparel/products/dark-gray-tri-blend-retro-surfboard-tee" target="_blank">Retro Surfboard Tee</a> (my husband loves this one), the <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/collections/apparel/products/protect-what-you-love-beach-tank" target="_blank">Protect What You Love Beach Tank</a> (literally so comfortable and I am loving it), this <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/collections/notepads/products/into-the-tropics-notepad" target="_blank">To The Tropics Notepad</a> (perfect for gift lists, grocery lists or to-do lists), and of course all of the stickers!! This <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/collections/stickers/products/3-5-protect-what-you-love-turt-vinyl-sticker" target="_blank">3.5" Protect What You Love Turtle Sticker</a> and this <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/collections/stickers/products/4-tropic-surfboards-vinyl-sticker" target="_blank">4" Tropics Surfboards Sticker</a> are two of my total favorites (planning on adding them to our car soon). Stickers make perfect stocking stuffers and I'll probably end up grabbing a couple more for Bella and Bodhi's stocking from one of our local surf shops that carries The Happy Sea (like this <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/collections/stickers/products/jellyfish-sticker" target="_blank">Jellyfish Sticker</a> and this <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/collections/stickers/products/4-whale-shark-vinyl-sticker" target="_blank">Whale Shark</a>). <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/" target="_blank">The Happy Sea</a> is a brand created by the sea, for the sea, and with each purchase they give back to the ocean through ocean conservation nonprofits such as the Orca Conservancy, Ocean Alliance, and Sea to Shore. You literally cannot find a more rad shop to shop for all your gifting (and home decor, clothing, and more) wants and needs, shop all of <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/" target="_blank">The Happy Sea</a> designs <a href="https://www.thehappysea.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTHD6Gmk1tXqaIsu5Ga-5SV7q9ALO5rT1N5P7GCAG9JUJwUl01JbAIO2jUOU1_oHMgFlTBjY0OnWbqgrhaf2Hu_iA3KltlCBsVvgSpev8VQ4UCwfRUZJXwjODTnSF3SYeJNqAV4ouO_p3CX34papd580502DOM9qVF1JkWLUg6-5zTnDQtm15Q3LjM=s3855" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3855" data-original-width="3855" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjTHD6Gmk1tXqaIsu5Ga-5SV7q9ALO5rT1N5P7GCAG9JUJwUl01JbAIO2jUOU1_oHMgFlTBjY0OnWbqgrhaf2Hu_iA3KltlCBsVvgSpev8VQ4UCwfRUZJXwjODTnSF3SYeJNqAV4ouO_p3CX34papd580502DOM9qVF1JkWLUg6-5zTnDQtm15Q3LjM=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEja7jvNzDhpUlsjUoRsaEfZC3h6OJVe4C50E-6zTs9w4ORIAGjqI0_zJFTSY1KLZxXC-kHwi0SBXOBnP0-HtkaLpXad9_QvCIp9Mf3jloTbn3ytZ6YvcfdPLEUNVFQlmNCO2Ux47EVw24nLCP69zl_9IP3VRvtp0idORjPkKGForEg3ydHihFIFOdOL=s4000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEja7jvNzDhpUlsjUoRsaEfZC3h6OJVe4C50E-6zTs9w4ORIAGjqI0_zJFTSY1KLZxXC-kHwi0SBXOBnP0-HtkaLpXad9_QvCIp9Mf3jloTbn3ytZ6YvcfdPLEUNVFQlmNCO2Ux47EVw24nLCP69zl_9IP3VRvtp0idORjPkKGForEg3ydHihFIFOdOL=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://nuunlife.com/" target="_blank">NUUN</a></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">Have you ever needed a gift for someone and didn't know what to give them? I mean, we've all been there. That someone who has everything, or doesn't have a lot of room for "stuff" and "extra "things" in their home, maybe that person is a minimalist who like useful or consumable gifts, but maybe that same person who likes consumable or gifts also isn't a huge fan of your typically cured meats and cheeses gift baskets. Give that person the gift of hydration this Christmas with <a href="https://nuunlife.com/" target="_blank">Nuun</a>! Nuun is a company with a mission to keeping you as hydrated as humanly possible.

One brand I've had my eye on for awhile but just recently got the chance to finally try out, is <a href="https://vitruvi.com/" target="_blank">Vitruvi</a>! Vitruvi offers beautiful diffusers that will fit into the aesthetic of any home, like this beautiful <a href="https://vitruvi.com/collections/diffusers/products/essential-oil-diffuser-honey" target="_blank">"Honey" Stone diffuser</a> that I can't wait to put in our new home (I haven't decided just where yet, possibly the kitchen or our primary bedroom). It's crafted from matte ceramic porcelain and bpa-free plastic, and the limited edition "honey" color signified happiness and clear thinking (perfect for our new home if you ask me), I love that it's so pretty is can double as decor! They also sell some super awesome moveable cordless diffusers (like this one) that can be charged and carried around your home wherever you'd like! Their 100% pure essential oils are great and they offer so many amazing blends that are perfect for setting the mood in your home. Whether you want relaxing (I suggest this <a href="https://vitruvi.com/collections/essential-oils/products/retreat-essential-oil-blend" target="_blank">Retreat oil blend</a>) or bright and cheery to start your morning (this <a href="https://vitruvi.com/collections/essential-oils/products/boost-essential-oil-blend" target="_blank">Boost oil blend</a> is lovely) or just want a nice scent for when you host friends for dinner on a warm summer evening (I love this <a href="https://vitruvi.com/collections/essential-oils/products/sweet-water-essential-oil-blend" target="_blank">Sweet Water blend</a>), Vitruvi has a scent for every nose. High on the top of my wishlist is their limited edition <a href="https://vitruvi.com/collections/essential-oils/products/holiday-essential-oil-kit?variant=40643429335220" target="_blank">Holiday Oils Kit</a> (featuring grove, golden, afterglow and fireside oil blends).

I found Her Waves last year after I started skateboarding and have ordered a few things from them since, everything is always such great quality and their shipping speed is always super fast. <a href="https://www.herwaves.com/?rfsn=6131606.a01dc53" target="_blank">Her Waves</a> is on a mission to help women live their passions, and support women both in water and out of water. Her Waves brings together a group of some of the most talented women artists, surfers, and skaters to create the products they offer and I truly love how they keep the environment at the heart of their brand as they strive for sustainability. All of their products are made within 90 miles of Los Angeles, California and are created using GOTS certified organic cotton, and all of their printing and embroidery is done by shops local (within a few miles) of the <a href="https://www.herwaves.com/?rfsn=6131606.a01dc53" target="_blank">Her Waves</a> headquarters using water-based, non toxic inks! They even ship with biodegradable and 100% recycled/recyclable shipping materials, and have a goal to be completely plastic free by the end of this year! Her Waves lives and breaths surfing and artist expression, they find and help promote both new artists as well as established artists from all over the world, and each artist is paid and supported through their network. When you purchase from <a href="https://www.herwaves.com/?rfsn=6131606.a01dc53" target="_blank">Her Waves</a> you'll not only be supporting a real person and not some big corporation, but you'll also be getting a limited edition item you can proudly wear, hang on your wall or stick on your car or water bottle! I'm so stoked that Bella and I will both be finding a couple items from <a href="https://www.herwaves.com/?rfsn=6131606.a01dc53" target="_blank">Her Waves</a> under the tree this year... like this awesome <a href="https://www.herwaves.com/collections/tees/products/wave-dancer-ringer-tee-1?rfsn=6131606.a01dc53" target="_blank">Wave Dancer tee</a> for me from artist Madeline O'Donoghue (which was also <a href="https://www.herwaves.com/blogs/her-stories/featured-on-obx" target="_blank">featured in Outer Banks</a>, one of my favorite Netflix series), and this beautiful <a href="https://www.herwaves.com/products/sunset-flowers-print?rfsn=6131606.a01dc53" target="_blank">Sunset Flowers surfer print</a> (for Bella, that I can't wait to hang up in Bella's new room) from <a href="https://www.herwaves.com/blogs/her-stories/artist-michi-pichel" target="_blank">artist Michi Pichel</a>.

One thing I've learned years ago is how important it is to only wear fabrics that are breathable and natural, organic cotton is the only fabric I'll use, and <a href="https://knickey.com/" target="_blank">Knickey</a> is my absolute favorite brand. Organic cotton isn't just softer though, it's also better for your body! Why and what is the difference between regular old cotton and organic cotton you're probably wondering? Organic cotton is grown without pesticides and toxic substances (which are things you definitely don't want touching your body all day, especially the most sensitive parts of your body), organic cotton is usually grown in better, healthier soil too, which in turn generally makes it better quality. It's also better for the environment, since organic cotton creates 46% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional cotton simply because toxic fertilizers and and pesticides, and using fewer mechanical farming practices. Okay, so now we know why organic cotton is so much better, let me tell you why you need some <a href="https://knickey.com/" target="_blank">Knickey</a> undies... here's a little secret... they are THE MOST comfortable undies I've ever worn. I've been wearing their brand for almost a year now and I still to this day am impressed not only at the softness (I'm pretty sure they've actually gotten softer) and the quality, they have held up so well and are 100% worth the $14 per pair price (another secret is that if you buy more, you save more money per pair)! They have so many beautiful colors to choose from (currently 7 core colors and 5 limited edition colors), and so many styles for every single body shape (they actually just released a new style, <a href="https://knickey.com/products/high-rise-thong?variant=41146088095936" target="_blank">the High Rise Thong</a>, last week). I'm really excited to add a couple new pairs of their undies (like this <a href="https://knickey.com/products/mid-rise-brief?variant=40259532652736" target="_blank">Mid-Rise Brief in Bumble</a> and these <a href="https://knickey.com/products/high-rise-brief?variant=8009540468787" target="_blank">High-Rise Briefs in Midnight Moon</a>) to my dresser, and also stoked to finally try out one of their bras too, this <a href="https://knickey.com/products/triangle-bralette?variant=39684764860608" target="_blank">Triangle Bralette in Midnight Moon</a> is so pretty!

She keeps her products natural and safe, using only minimal, intentional ingredients like the highest quality organic and natural and oils, clays, butters, waxes, botanicals, herbs, minerals, and pure therapeutic grade essential oils. With Lola Jane Naturals, simple doesn't mean boring, simple means better, and as a natural and minimalist minded woman, I find it so refreshing to have found a brand that shares the same values of simplicity and quality over quantity. The <a href="https://lolajanenaturals.com/shop/rosewater-facial-toner" target="_blank">Rosewater Facial Toner</a> is one of my absolute favorite products (that I've actually been using for a couple of years), it's so light, makes my skin look and feel amazing, and it has only 9 ingredients (that are also vegan)! Some new things I'm excited to try soon is this <a href="https://lolajanenaturals.com/shop/seasalt-lavender-body-polish" target="_blank">Sea Salt + Lavender Body Polish</a> that smells absolutely heavenly (and consistency is amazing as well). This <a href="https://lolajanenaturals.com/shop/face-mask" target="_blank">Antioxidant Clay Facial Mask</a> (that has only 5 ingredients, including sea clay, spirulina and colloidal oatmeal) is another one I'm really stoked about, and also comes with a porcelain bowl (I chose the granite color because I loved the simple neutral look), my skin is exposed to the elements a lot and this one is formulated for skin that sees a lot of the outdoors so that's why I chose this one, can't wait to try this clay mask out on my face that sees the sun and wind and sea air so often. I'm also really looking forward to trying this new <a href="https://lolajanenaturals.com/shop/heel-balm" target="_blank">Heel Balm</a> from <a href="https://lolajanenaturals.com/" target="_blank">Lola Jane Naturals</a>, it's the perfect way to nourish and hydrate dry cracked heels and feet, and goodness knows I need it with how often I'm barefoot and walking on the beach (and in parking lots to get to the beach haha). <a href="https://lolajanenaturals.com/" target="_blank">Lola Jane Naturals</a> is the best place for all things natural skincare so make sure to head <a href="https://lolajanenaturals.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to grab what you need to upgrade your skincare routine!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg-6ti6WU1l9tvU0dCL93yK_htNVjQdMNPtVdx3V6SoQ4YxTRURLrZF0ZDzTCU6iUi_nhL016MrVvH5U87XHUY44Imlqq7ZsdQoN7TNVIMvX8ZH16Ox2PONRMwZgJ4sEGNxKA5zAi3rC0gLcDNh5YHGqbXXrDLkWhpz2atmEdEbb2kIKbziJ11Kdu1-=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg-6ti6WU1l9tvU0dCL93yK_htNVjQdMNPtVdx3V6SoQ4YxTRURLrZF0ZDzTCU6iUi_nhL016MrVvH5U87XHUY44Imlqq7ZsdQoN7TNVIMvX8ZH16Ox2PONRMwZgJ4sEGNxKA5zAi3rC0gLcDNh5YHGqbXXrDLkWhpz2atmEdEbb2kIKbziJ11Kdu1-=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://taleofamermaid.com/shop" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">DEVON DEMINT - TALE OF A MERMAID</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">If you haven't been following <a href="https://taleofamermaid.com/" target="_blank">Devon</a> from over at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mermaidsightings/" target="_blank">@MermaidSightings on Instagram</a>, you've been missing out, and you need to go follow her as soon as possible. She writes the most soul etching words, all the things you feel but don't know how to articulate from feelings into words, she does with her poetry, and it's magical. She is a mother, writer and surfer living in Southern California (where she is native to) with her husband and 3 kids, and also runs a local skateboarding collective for women in addition to writing her beautiful poetry whenever she has a spare second between momming, surfing and every day life. Her words always speak to me so deeply, her love of being a mother while also not sugarcoating the difficult days; her love of the ocean and water; so simply yet so eloquently she puts to paper and brings to life the thoughts and feelings of her thoughts and moments and days of being a human, woman, wife, mother and surfer; her words are so relatable and make this life thing not feel quite so alone. One of my absolute favorite poems she has ever written is this <a href="https://taleofamermaid.com/shop/prescriptionpoem" target="_blank">"Prescription" Handsewn Poem</a>, it so perfectly says of anxiety and of water the way I have always felt, nothing melts anxious thoughts and feelings like stepping into the sea. I absolutely cannot wait to frame and hang this up in our new home once we are finally moved in. I'll probably be picking up another one of two of her other poems eventually (like this <a href="https://taleofamermaid.com/shop/out-of-water-hand-sewn-poem" target="_blank">"Out of Water" Handsewn Poem</a> and this <a href="https://taleofamermaid.com/shop/buoyant-handsewn-poem" target="_blank">"Buoyant" Handsewn Poem</a>) to hang in our new home. Her poems are printed on handmade recycled cotton rag paper (hand made by Devon) with hand sewn or painted details, so each and every poem is a labor of love from beginning to end.

Their products smell amazing, the scents are lovely, but even better than that, is the fact that they are better for the environment than most brands. They are committed to sustainability, and great home fragrance goods that are phthalate free, cruelty free, and responsibly sourced. All of their candles are made with 100% domestically grown soy wax, and all of their products are developed, produced, tested, packed and shipped by the </span><a href="https://pfcandleco.com/" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank">P. F. Candle Co.</a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"> team at their warehouse in Los Angeles, California! They are also teamed up with Climate Neutral, an organization that helps them offset and neutralize their carbon footprint, I love finding brands that truly care about the planet and the earth that we will be leaving for future generations. They also donate to local organizations to give back to their community, such as the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, The Natural Resources Defense Council and the Downtown Women's Center. We haven't been able to really use candles that much over the past few years because we rented and lived in an apartment, and now that we will be moving into our new home soon, I can't wait to start using all natural candles again, this </span><a href="https://pfcandleco.com/collections/sweet-grapefruit/products/sweet-grapefruit-standard-soy-candle" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank">Sweet Grapefruit Soy Candle</a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"> from </span><a href="https://pfcandleco.com/" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank">P.

All of their baskets are beautiful, the loveliest addition to any home or to your accessories collection, perfect for storing blankets or toys, or carrying your things to the beach or bringing to the farmer's market to carry all of your locally grown vegetables and fruit, baked goods, organic honey, and kombucha! Not much can make a good basket even better, unless it's the fact that <a href="https://leahcalifornia.com/" target="_blank">Leah California</a>'s baskets are sustainably made and ethically sourced! THAT definitely makes them better! Each piece is hand crafted by artisans in Mexico, where the artisans have been weaving palm leaves into baskets, bags and hats for generations! They have passed on the knowledge and skill for so long to preserve the art of bringing natural materials into life. They carry on their traditions and ancestral technique of boiling, dying, hand braiding and sewing the palm leaves into the works of art that <a href="https://leahcalifornia.com/" target="_blank">Leah California</a> offers in her shop. While it can take years to fully master the technique, once learned, each artisan can hand weave 1 to 2 baskets per day! So much love and work goes into each and every piece at Leah California. <a href="https://leahcalifornia.com/collections/accessories/products/sunset-basket" target="_blank">This Sunset Straw Basket</a> is one of my absolute favorites, I can't wait to fill it with goodies for a picnic on the beach (which sounds like the perfect date night idea for my husband and I, kinda thinking charcuterie board picnic on the beach at sunset). This <a href="https://leahcalifornia.com/collections/accessories/products/mercado-tote" target="_blank">Mercado Straw Market Basket</a> is at the top of my wish list, it's so beautiful, and would be perfect for farmer's market days and family beach days. I also really love these <a href="https://leahcalifornia.com/collections/artisan-baskets-collection/products/baja-straw-basket-large" target="_blank">Baja Storage Baskets</a> and these <a href="https://leahcalifornia.com/collections/artisan-baskets-collection/products/san-juan-straw-basket-small" target="_blank">Sonora Storage Baskets</a>, definitely need to grab a few of these for organization once we are in our new house.

font-family: helvetica;">Happy Saturday! So excited that the weekend is finally here, we've had a busy last few days with Thanksgiving and then my husband's first black Friday working in retail (was that ever crazy). The kids and I went to the mall to see him and also see what black Friday was all about (because I had never been out on black Friday) and it was both my first AND my last time ever going out on black Friday haha (didn't even end up buying anything at the mall except food lol). Yesterday I shared the first installment in my 2021 Holiday Gift Guide series (find that one <a href="http://www.thejoyfultribe.com/2021/11/2021-holiday-gift-guide-for-kids.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>) and today I am so excited to share my second gift guide in the series, my Holiday Gift Guide for Men! I'm sharing some brands that are some of our absolute favorites and some products we really love, all perfect gift ideas for the men on your gifting list (because we all know men are notoriously difficult to buy for). Find them all below!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiFasUIK_0a-10ifDPgxmi8HnTsifWpkUX4oGd09-2gjDH-CVs0COB2yamW46j_dOiQlCz_WA4VfFTvdERWt-2VJmIisU__Ce-TQcD6z8kCM7bCir18Au-Sl06DGjvVT3pVIh459YT3W4UPpFuCRnW3yQZ637oZ4VThh549tc4xqsBMwoEfrCJNwEzz=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiFasUIK_0a-10ifDPgxmi8HnTsifWpkUX4oGd09-2gjDH-CVs0COB2yamW46j_dOiQlCz_WA4VfFTvdERWt-2VJmIisU__Ce-TQcD6z8kCM7bCir18Au-Sl06DGjvVT3pVIh459YT3W4UPpFuCRnW3yQZ637oZ4VThh549tc4xqsBMwoEfrCJNwEzz=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://olukai.com/collections/men?redirect=true" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">OLUKAI</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">We first came across the brand <a href="https://olukai.com/collections/men?redirect=true" target="_blank">Olukai</a> a few years ago at <a href="https://surfcitysurfshop.com/" target="_blank">our favorite surf shop</a> (that is now local to us) and my husband really liked their shoes.

I mean, everyone loves shoes, and they are a really great and practical gift that can be used over and over again, so I'm stoked for him to find some new shoes from <a href="https://olukai.com/collections/men?redirect=true" target="_blank">Olukai</a> under the tree this holiday season.

My husband loves dates, and I love all of the health benefits of them, so this brand is perfect for us! Not only does Wanna Date spread taste delicious (my husband really loves it on toast) but it's packed full of nutritious vitamins and minerals! I mean, I'm not a doctor, but eating <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/" target="_blank">Wanna Date spread</a> could possibly double as a daily multivitamin (only kinda joking lol). Dates are filled with vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin B-6, and also contain riboflavin, calcium ,thiamin, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, niacin, manganese, copper, organic Sulphur and potassium. Dates are heart healthy food, with a low glycemic index, full of fiber, and are a great "natural energy" food! With Wanna Date spread you can get all of the health benefits of dates without chewing on an actual date, put some on toast, with your ice cream, on an acai bowl, in a smoothie, the possibilities are endless! Wanna Date has a ton of great flavors from their <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/products/original-date-spread" target="_blank">original flavor</a> to <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/products/chocolate-date-spread" target="_blank">chocolate</a>, <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/products/cinnamon-date-spread" target="_blank">cinnamon</a>, <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/products/vanilla-date-spread" target="_blank">vanilla</a>, <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/products/pumpkin-spice-date-spread" target="_blank">pumpkin spice</a>, and even plant based date-dough bites like <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/products/chocolate-brownie-date-dough" target="_blank">chocolate brownie dough</a>, <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/products/birthday-cake-date-dough" target="_blank">birthday cake date dough</a>, <a href="https://eatwannadate.com/products/snickerdoodle-date-dough" target="_blank">snickerdoodle date dough</a> and more... a flavor for every palate. AND Wanna Date spreads are paleo, gluten free, dairy free, fat free, cholesterol free, sodium free, soy free, vegan, kosher, non-GMO, no added sugar, and only 25 calories per serving! It doesn't get much better than that!

They are what I like to call a "manly man" store, they are a "moto-outdoors" inspired specialty shop for men with a focus on quality, American made, goods ready for whatever adventure you might throw their way. Men are notoriously difficult to buy gift for, but <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/" target="_blank">Rambler</a> makes it so easy to find the perfect gift. Their entire store is filled with nothing but the coolest items, things made in the USA, high quality products made to last for years, and everything that your man needs... or didn't know he needed... until now, that is. This <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/store/p2862/Pendleton_Burnside_Flannel_-_Slate_Multi_Plaid.html" target="_blank">Pendleton Burnside Flannel in "Slate Multi Plaid"</a> is a shirt they carry in stock at their location here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (they also have another location in Peoria, Illinois, as well as a website that ships anywhere) and it is a real winner. My husband tried it on at the <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/" target="_blank">Rambler</a> store and sent me a picture... and I was just over here like "wowee, is there a summer heat wave because I need a tall glass of water right now" hahaha. Seriously though, it is such a nice looking shirt, so flattering, and I'm honestly in awe at the craftsmanship of <a href="https://www.wearerambler.com/store/p2862/Pendleton_Burnside_Flannel_-_Slate_Multi_Plaid.html" target="_blank">this flannel shirt</a>. It's so thick and cozy and soft, definitely one that will last him for years to come.

The quality of their water bottles is amazing and we love that they keep our water cold for so long. My husband just recently got rid of his old (original) one that I for him years ago because it had finally seen it's better days, so with the start of a new job, he needed a new water bottle, so it was the perfect time to get him this <a href="https://takeyausa.com/collections/actives/products/actives-insulated-water-bottle?variant=39279930474605" target="_blank">32oz Actives Insulated Water Bottle With Spout Lid</a> one (pictured in Cobalt). He absolutely loves it (I may have given this gift to him a little early because he needed it now instead of having to wait until Christmas), he loves how cold it keeps his water, the handle that makes it easier to carry, and the color (I'm sure it will be covered in music stickers pretty soon). I'm also going to be gifting him this <a href="https://takeyausa.com/collections/actives/products/actives-insulated-water-bottle?variant=33296053207149" target="_blank">64oz Actives Insulated Water Bottle With Spout Lid</a> (pictured in Onyx) on Christmas morning that will be perfect for all of our family beach trips this upcoming summer. These <a href="https://takeyausa.com/" target="_blank">Takeya</a> bottles are double-wall insulated and keep things cold for 24 hours or hot for 12 hours, are sweat free (which men's no water rings on your furniture or moisture in your bag), it's made from food grade stainless steel and won't transfer or hold on to flavors, they're BPA-free so no worries about toxins in your drink, AND they are better for the environment! We love how eco friendly <a href="https://takeyausa.com/collections/actives" target="_blank">these water bottles</a> are because we can refill them over and over again and fill them with water purified in our Berkey water filter, instead of having to buy plastic water bottles (with chemicals filled water) that will end up in land fills or the ocean.

They are a US made brand, with every item being hand made in sunny coastal California, and are a brand with little ones, mamas, sea seekers, and swell chasers in mind. Ya know, my kinda shop, and I am here for all of the ocean loving, California surf vibe goodness. They sell so many adorable items, like this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/989587231/ocean-nursery-banner-surf-nursery-decor?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details" target="_blank">"Wild as the Sea" Banner</a> that is going to be perfect in our new home (I haven't decided just where I'll put it yet, either Bella's room of Bodhi's room). I'm also pretty obsessed with all of their adorable tee shirts, this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/960692350/pray-for-surf-shirtsurfer-boy?ref=shop_home_active_32" target="_blank">"Pray for Surf" tee</a> is seriously the cutest ever, and this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/931269720/surfer-boy-shirttrendy-surf?ref=shop_home_active_17" target="_blank">"Chasing Swells" tee</a> is one I definitely need one in my size. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OldCoastCo" target="_blank">Old Coast Co.</a> has that perfect something for all of your gifting needs, from tees and sweatshirts and onesies to home decor (like art prints and banners) to personalized sketch books and leather alphabet mats to handmade resin letters! Their shop is just the coolest!

One little known fact about me is that my Dad actually owned and operated a recording studio for most of my childhood! It was so cool being exposed to so may different kinds of music and meeting so many people from so many different walks of life and from all over the world. Growing up, I played the drums (and am currently picking up ukulele) and my husband played the guitar, you could say music flows through our kiddos veins. They love singing and listening to music and playing music, so we decided it was time for them to finally have their own instruments! I came across <a href="https://loogguitars.com/" target="_blank">Loog Guitars</a> a few years ago and loved the look of them, they are such cool instruments and the quality is really great! Bodhi is getting the <a href="https://loogguitars.com/products/loog-pro-vi-acoustic?variant=31609200672830" target="_blank">Loog Pro VI Acoustic</a> for Christmas, and Bella is beyond stoked that she is going to be getting the <a href="https://loogguitars.com/products/loog-ukulele?variant=39419265679422" target="_blank">Loog Ukulele</a> for Christmas (or maybe her birthday since she already knows about it haha).

It's always been one of those things that accidentally got overlooked for something else on her wish list. But 2021 is the year it's finally happening! She is going to be absolutely STOKED to find this rad new watch from <a href="https://www.freestyleusa.com/" target="_blank">Freestyle Watches</a> underneath the tree this year. She's learning about time in school too, so this will be the perfect way to help her learn even more, she'll always have the time on her wrist when I ask her what time it is and if she can tell me the time! This <a href="https://www.freestyleusa.com/collections/view-all/products/shark-classic-clip-mint-blush" target="_blank">Shark Classic Clip Watch in Mint Blush</a> from <a href="https://www.freestyleusa.com/" target="_blank">Freestyle Watches</a> is the absolute cutest, it's so girly and feminine (I'm a little obsessed with the colors myself haha) and she is going to love it. Of course, Bodhi wants to be just like big sister, so he'll be getting this <a href="https://www.freestyleusa.com/collections/view-all/products/shark-classic-gold-black" target="_blank">Shark Classic Clip Watch in Gold/black</a> Freestyle Watch too! I love that his has fun colors too, but they're muted colors so they'll match so well with all of his clothing, because I anticipate he'll be wanting to wear it constantly haha! The generous sizing that <a href="https://www.freestyleusa.com/collections/view-all?page_num=6" target="_blank">Freestyle Shark watches</a> has is so great, because while it's not a one size fits all, it's a one size fits almost everyone kinda deal. Both of the watches I chose for the groms fit wrist sizes 5 inches through 8 inches! And did I mention that they are water resistant? They're perfect for kiddos who get water everywhere while washing their hands, and especially for anyone who loves water and is in water often, so whether that be the ocean, a lake, the pool, or even the bathtub (lol) <a href="https://www.freestyleusa.com/" target="_blank">Freestyle Watches</a> has got you covered.

We've actually owned a few pieces from them in the past and we loved them so much that we decided why not get the same ones again! The quality of this set from <a href="https://miniware.com/" target="_blank">Miniware</a> is great, they've outlasted every other brand of kids dishes we have. Besides the great quality, I really love the simple, neutral colors, you all already know I'm not about that neon or bright primary colors look and these fit the bill for me, color wise, functionality wise, quality wise, they're just great. The cups in this <a href="https://miniware.com/collections/gift-bundles/products/copy-of-little-foodie-3-color-combos" target="_blank">Little Foodie set </a>(we chose <a href="https://miniware.com/collections/gift-bundles/products/copy-of-little-foodie-3-color-combos" target="_blank">vanilla and aqua</a>, but they have other colorway options as well) are absolutely perfect for smoothies (one of our favorite ways to use them), and the bowls are great for real food as well as snacks (I love the silicone lid for easy snack storage while on the go or if Bodhi doesn't finish his crackers). The plates are Bella's favorite plates (she loves the little feet on them), and Bodhi is obsessed with the fork and spoon (honestly, out of all of the utensils for kids we've ever tried, <a href="https://miniware.com/" target="_blank">Miniware</a> is THE BEST). <a href="https://miniware.com/" target="_blank">Miniware dishes</a> are created using plant based biodegradable and petroleum free PLA, and the lids and straws are made with 100% food grade silicone (which can be easily recycled at the end of it's lifespan. Oh, and did I mention that Miniware is dishwasher and microwave safe?

I love that wooden toys can be passed on from child to child, and even passed down generations because the quality is so good. Better quality equals longer lasting items equals less finding it's way into land fills and our oceans. <a href="https://thisandthatetc.com/" target="_blank">This & That Etc.</a> is a wooden toy brand we've loved for awhile, and their <a href="https://thisandthatetc.com/products/united-states-map-puzzle" target="_blank">United States Map Puzzle</a> and <a href="https://thisandthatetc.com/products/classic-alphabet-puzzle" target="_blank">Classic Uppercase Alphabet Puzzle</a> are two of our favorite products that are not only fun but educational as well! My kiddos love these puzzles, Bodhi discovering which letter goes in what order on the <a href="https://thisandthatetc.com/products/classic-alphabet-puzzle" target="_blank">alphabet puzzle</a>, and Bella learning which state is which and where each state is located in the United States with the <a href="https://thisandthatetc.com/products/united-states-map-puzzle" target="_blank">United States map puzzle</a>. One thing I love about these wooden toys (besides how much my kiddos love them) is that they can double so easily as decor! No bright colors that don't match with anything, the colors of the wood used on the puzzles is so pretty and goes so well with any home style! If personalized items are more up your alley, this <a href="https://thisandthatetc.com/products/custom-name-puzzle?variant=32653162938422" target="_blank">Custom Name Puzzle</a> is so fun (would make a perfect baby shower gift for anyone who is having a baby) and we LOVE this wooden <a href="https://thisandthatetc.com/products/classic-tic-tac-toe" target="_blank">Classic Tic-Tac-Toe</a> game from<a href="https://thisandthatetc.com/" target="_blank"> This & That Etc.</a> (we've had ours from them for years and still have so much fun with it).

One brand I came across over the summer that we are really loving is the brand <a href="https://novembermaker.com/" target="_blank">November Maker</a>! She sells such cute hair clips and hair accessories and of course we especially love all of her ocean themed hair clips! We are ocean lovers through and through (I mean, we did just pick up our lives and move half across the US to raise our family by the sea, so I guess we do kinda love the ocean), so her <a href="https://novembermaker.com/collections/nm-littles/products/shell-yah" target="_blank">Shell Yah Clip</a> is going to be the most perfect addition to Bella's hair accessory collection. It's so minimal and dainty and I love that the neutral colors go so well with everything! This <a href="https://novembermaker.com/collections/nm-littles/products/flower-power" target="_blank">Floral Bebe Clip</a> is also really adorable and will be so pretty in Bella's hair.

I've always loved that I can count of them for quality, no nonsense products that work great and of course lots of fun bubbles! Bella and Bodhi love <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/" target="_blank">Tubby Todd</a> and I love their products because they are all natural! Their products are created using all natural ingredients and are perfect for sensitive skin, they even sell unscented products for extra sensitive skin. We've always used their scented products and I'm really excited to finally try out their unscented products now). Another reason we love them is because they are made right here in the USA! Their products make great stand alone gifts, but also perfect stocking stuffers. This year, Bodhi will be finding the <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/collections/all-1/products/the-regulars" target="_blank">The Regulars Bundle (fragrance free)</a> in his stocking, and Bella will be beyond stoked to find this <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/collections/all-1/products/bath-bomb-bundle" target="_blank">Tubby Todd Bath Bomb Bundle</a> in hers! We got her a set of these bath bombs in her stocking last year and she LOVED them, she had so much fun watching the color of the water change in the bathtub when we dropped the bath bomb in! This <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/collections/all-1/products/all-over-ointment" target="_blank">All Over Ointment</a> is also another really great product from Tubby Todd that we love (and great for dry and sensitive skin).

There's nothing like slipping into a brand new pair of pajamas, and doing it on Christmas Eve so you can be wearing brand new pajamas on Christmas morning when you wake up to open gifts as a family is the best thing ever. But even better than just any regular pajamas are <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/" target="_blank">Plain Jane Pajamas</a>! They're my absolute favorite brand of pajamas for the kids, they are so soft and comfortable, and the quality is off the charts, they last forever! Bella and Bodhi both still wear their Plain Jane pajamas from last Christmas (almost a year later) with only a few stains, no holes or issues that cheaper made pajamas have. I have a couple pairs too and I can tell you without a doubt that they are the softest pajamas I've ever owned (I definitely sleep better when I wear them because of how comfortable they are). <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/" target="_blank">Plain Jane</a> also sells pajamas for men now too! So excited to gift this <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/collections/all/products/shift-dress-in-b-w-stripe?variant=39575368335411" target="_blank">Shift Dress in B&W Stripe</a> to Bella this year, and this <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/collections/all/products/pj-set-in-larkspur?variant=39562843095091" target="_blank">PJ Set in Larkspur</a> to Bodhi, aaaaand I may be finding this <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/collections/all/products/long-sleeve-jogger-set-in-larkspur" target="_blank">Long Sleeve Jogger Set in Larkspur</a> under the tree for myself this year!

A few months ago I came across a brand called <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/" target="_blank">Open Spaces</a> while scrolling Instagram one day, and I was needless to say... obsessed.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">I'm all about clean lines and neutral colors and well, I really, really love baskets to put things in (maybe a bit too much, to my husband's dismay lol), it makes organization so much easier and makes a space look pretty awesome too if you ask me. <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/" target="_blank">Open Spaces</a> really knocks it out of the park by checking off all the boxes (literally haha) of things I love and look for when it comes to aesthetic and functionality in our home. They've got the nice neutral colors, natural wood lids for their containers, wire metal baskets... yep, pretty much perfection.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhsTMVsgLGuHITR7RZnTIw1cOmUf-kAQKe5qxwc08dePB6nz-HRj21-5ZWfTs_0n4eZJlr9zISJDuEvvuhW9DWpMHWw4C9HPjoBK3QoU29hY2zDIp_HCAMEXzvgyisf9x6swFgWWCHDiyb-wiJXX7t2R1LSVtVqD_lUBDzCkyZg6zWpc5fwbUkbTPH8=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1362" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhsTMVsgLGuHITR7RZnTIw1cOmUf-kAQKe5qxwc08dePB6nz-HRj21-5ZWfTs_0n4eZJlr9zISJDuEvvuhW9DWpMHWw4C9HPjoBK3QoU29hY2zDIp_HCAMEXzvgyisf9x6swFgWWCHDiyb-wiJXX7t2R1LSVtVqD_lUBDzCkyZg6zWpc5fwbUkbTPH8=w426-h640" width="426" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">So first can we just talk about these containers and baskets? I love them, okay? For whatever is it that you need organized, they're gonna take your organization to the next level. I love these <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/shop/medium-storage-bins/?variant=41113020858546" target="_blank">Medium Storage Bins</a> for easy LEGO blocks storage and small Barbie accessories, these <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/shop/small-storage-bins/?variant=41113128075442" target="_blank">Small Storage Bins</a> are absolute perfection for bathroom storage (they are pretty much perfect for skin care, makeup, and feminine products).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">The thing I love most about baskets and bins is everything has a place. It makes staying organized so much easier because you have no excuse to not put something back in it's place and where it belongs, your home and space stays cleaner and your mind less stressed, and of course you always know where to look when you need that one thing, so you don't have to search your entire home for it and still not find it. Put it in a basket and easy peasy lemon squeezy, you automatically know where it is every single time!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqR8qZovch00-IIvCetXqFdQTNyW312kyritSiBUDXfUODszqxItfO0HjBNP9cxrCFtKYZe07ls6QTdIUYX2zPxKtj4zci_7Yl_AJvQ8h0xM-VyHSW5ZudIvbRcXHYAa0EVfP1ddfaZcXyGfNeJVEWd_oGtM3B0K4MjCq2fo0JqqWg-PtOxZvRCy9x=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqR8qZovch00-IIvCetXqFdQTNyW312kyritSiBUDXfUODszqxItfO0HjBNP9cxrCFtKYZe07ls6QTdIUYX2zPxKtj4zci_7Yl_AJvQ8h0xM-VyHSW5ZudIvbRcXHYAa0EVfP1ddfaZcXyGfNeJVEWd_oGtM3B0K4MjCq2fo0JqqWg-PtOxZvRCy9x=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNwjrLYrwGOv_Pi_UXn0EwxtKcolMf2V6KNZVc5sT24zE1huagWjJpy-a7hdpaZ2HCSDM0UgJ3YXJYuvuOncKrmlj5DzVJQWQ5IISG3Eq_JJr8WyTCxwj3MhzDC_rfTC5DkiIgLYBSjXN6MnmoIltOnTTNbK9dhBXwyOrvLbVsUfICRn0GNlxsqIyO=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNwjrLYrwGOv_Pi_UXn0EwxtKcolMf2V6KNZVc5sT24zE1huagWjJpy-a7hdpaZ2HCSDM0UgJ3YXJYuvuOncKrmlj5DzVJQWQ5IISG3Eq_JJr8WyTCxwj3MhzDC_rfTC5DkiIgLYBSjXN6MnmoIltOnTTNbK9dhBXwyOrvLbVsUfICRn0GNlxsqIyO=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfDy1PWwLI7SDTWhcX8KORFJNudgqdASQfgCXdiILS4a_qKi4-Y0-KWkXnSSsN4zFBowJFJ5nUQYk0MnOUDWHRmi7QmeJPEqAqm4jNyyZImR_t-jLhbYSRxKLANjE1Id5dOeT8o5oA24t_Fs6zMDuzG0v-8gJVYHICKajC2VKmpoAabJtMgop_YsKl=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfDy1PWwLI7SDTWhcX8KORFJNudgqdASQfgCXdiILS4a_qKi4-Y0-KWkXnSSsN4zFBowJFJ5nUQYk0MnOUDWHRmi7QmeJPEqAqm4jNyyZImR_t-jLhbYSRxKLANjE1Id5dOeT8o5oA24t_Fs6zMDuzG0v-8gJVYHICKajC2VKmpoAabJtMgop_YsKl=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">These <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/shop/large-baskets/?variant=32365783318574" target="_blank">Large Wire Storage Baskets</a> are also another favorite of mine from <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/" target="_blank">Open Spaces</a>: they're just the right amount of classic mixed with modern, and great for storing blankets and bedding and clothing... they're just great, mkay?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">But can we also just take a minute to chat about and appreciate this <a href="https://www.getopenspaces.com/shop/entryway-shoe-rack/?variant=32365895876654" target="_blank">Entryway Rack</a>?

It's been busy, busy, busy over here recently and I promise I'll share more soon and stop being so cryptic haha. There are big things in the works for our family and I'm so stoked to share in a couple of weeks! We've been trying to enjoy the autumn weather, but goodness am I ever NOT ready for full on cold. It was 35 degrees here a couple of mornings ago and I am just not here for that haha. I'm all about summer and autumn is nice too, but almost freezing weather, that's a big nope from me; about the only freezing thing I'm currently interested in hearing about is the chocolate gelato I got today from our favorite local gelato shop lol! Anyways, without further ado, here are some favorites we are currently loving! Hope you love them too!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjKfyaIaGXy9Wc1y9TYd14r6Nib7qIZEAt7_zAshSNQOS49hyzQTE1wjRNoVgL-eVTyMnLEg69hLu9hU3QPksyiBW29I4PuatGkvV7bDUV1GAUCRM6WmpMl8JnocGqJeNdFP-w_ATKIJr8xkQD4FqnYIP-tJ1YWkauYLkzDY9Kx0g-EqT_66vBoxh3P=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2047" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjKfyaIaGXy9Wc1y9TYd14r6Nib7qIZEAt7_zAshSNQOS49hyzQTE1wjRNoVgL-eVTyMnLEg69hLu9hU3QPksyiBW29I4PuatGkvV7bDUV1GAUCRM6WmpMl8JnocGqJeNdFP-w_ATKIJr8xkQD4FqnYIP-tJ1YWkauYLkzDY9Kx0g-EqT_66vBoxh3P=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://puj.com/" target="_blank">PUJ</a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">If you've been around since before Bodhi was born, you might remember me sharing about <a href="https://puj.com/" target="_blank">PUJ</a> before, we were big fans of the brand then and nothing has really changed, we still love their products! Their <a href="https://puj.com/products/puj-big-hug-toddler-hooded-towel" target="_blank">"Hug" hooded towels</a> are at the top of our love list, they are just like being wrapped in a big cozy warm hug (even better if they're right out of the dryer) and the kids both adore them. It's their favorite part about getting out of the bath (because let's face it, getting out of the bath is never fun, but these make it not so bad), and they love getting all cozy in them. They'll sometimes stay wrapped up in them even after getting dried off and getting their pajamas on, they're cozy while watching a show or reading a book too! We currently have the <a href="https://puj.com/products/puj-big-hug-toddler-hooded-towel" target="_blank">Big Hug towels</a> for both kiddos, and we also had the <a href="https://puj.com/products/puj-hug-baby-hooded-towel" target="_blank">baby hug towels</a> when Bodhi was an infant. <a href="https://puj.com/" target="_blank">Puj</a> also makes kid sized washcloths (these <a href="https://puj.com/products/puj-fresh-washcloths" target="_blank">Puj Fresh washcloths</a>) that we also love for bath time! They're so crazy soft and I might even love them as much as the kiddos do haha! Another great product that we've always loved from <a href="https://puj.com/" target="_blank">Puj</a> (and need to get a couple more in the future) are these <a href="https://puj.com/products/puj-phillup-hangable-kids-cups-scandinavian-colors-2-pack" target="_blank">Puj PhillUp Cups</a>! They're perfect for drinking water, rinsing after brushing your teeth, washing kiddos hair, and even as bath toys (which I'm absolutely certain is bodhi's favorite use for them).

I love finding clothing that compliments that lifestyle and one day while scrolling Instagram, I came across the cutest little shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/momofagrom" target="_blank">Mom of a Grom</a>! Of course I immediately was like ooooh over all of their adorable designs. Bella saw this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/805179458/surf-like-a-girl-t-shirt-kids-youth?ref=shop_home_active_34" target="_blank">Surf like a Girl tee</a> and "needed" it, like it wasn't just a want, it was apparently a need. Haha. Some of her biggest role models that she looks up to are surfers (and skateboarders) like Bethany Hamilton and Sky Brown, so she is beyond stoked to wear this tee and also can't wait to learn to surf this next summer. I chose this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/721577009/swell-t-shirt-toddler-child-2t-5t-unisex?1" target="_blank">SWELL toddler tee</a> for Bodhi and I think it's just perfect for him! It's definitely going to be a staple in his wardrobe this next summer, and will even be great this fall and winter with a long sleeve tee layered underneath. They have all the cutest tees (and hats) for all of the little surfer and skater groms in your life, find all of their rad designs <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/momofagrom" target="_blank">HERE</a> and find their Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/momofagrom/?hl=en" target="_blank">here</a>!</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjAh708hrJZT-iQSDM1tbxGzWYi2ZD2GyLrQ9-8wyCcF-FrA0au0VwOaVfB0KsWGPa7WBRwnN31dU701wPYDRKeWWCvHCACoaAPidr_UwPvyRk0oMNMF7BFLDReMGBfic_nxMOO4XDpHwNMf7XHODudccg3sQxmV-C0Z388Feq9hHpbe0cWmP4j99HX=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjAh708hrJZT-iQSDM1tbxGzWYi2ZD2GyLrQ9-8wyCcF-FrA0au0VwOaVfB0KsWGPa7WBRwnN31dU701wPYDRKeWWCvHCACoaAPidr_UwPvyRk0oMNMF7BFLDReMGBfic_nxMOO4XDpHwNMf7XHODudccg3sQxmV-C0Z388Feq9hHpbe0cWmP4j99HX=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgl7j2R7NjhXtjnPTbOz6maJ_qlApmKZv9OqlPqOpwRHlRNsp6PzxyfHugtKaHO8WQF8yV_N72N1o1zsHLkCQnUN3kIcI5G3w4IkfbsfyqX2mSyue0Wz8dLa2P3mWXzs6IglDPGq3n8M84EMhA2GJNTMmlkDZoNO701k1jPyM-KKU4ICr0zksioGsby=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgl7j2R7NjhXtjnPTbOz6maJ_qlApmKZv9OqlPqOpwRHlRNsp6PzxyfHugtKaHO8WQF8yV_N72N1o1zsHLkCQnUN3kIcI5G3w4IkfbsfyqX2mSyue0Wz8dLa2P3mWXzs6IglDPGq3n8M84EMhA2GJNTMmlkDZoNO701k1jPyM-KKU4ICr0zksioGsby=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://shoppehr.com/" target="_blank">PEHR</a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://shoppehr.com/" target="_blank">Pehr</a> has been a part of our family for literally years, since Bella was a teeny tiny toddler. I think I ended up winning a product of theirs in a giveaway on Instagram which is how I found out about them and it al just kinda spiraled from there (considering how many products of theirs we own at this point, but it's a good kinda spiral haha). Blankets, bedding, decorative pillows (I have a whale one I bought from them several years ago that I've been saving for when Bodhi finally has his own room), pillow inserts, mobiles, quilts, swaddles, bibs... we've pretty nearly had it all at one point or another haha. Their storage though... the bins and hampers and pints and I mean.... I could go on. I love those on another level. They have been used for so many things over the years in our home, toy baskets, blanket and swaddle storage, skateboard helmet and protective gear storage, books, stuffed animals, accessories, and even pretend play! Bella and Bodhi love dumping the toys out and pretending that the big hamper storage containers are bathtubs and swimming pools, they love turning them upside down and using them for hide and seek, they're really just a great item with so many uses! I'm really excited about these new <a href="https://shoppehr.com/tools/search/results?q=daisy" target="_blank">Daisy storage bins</a> we've just added to our collection, they are so cute and have such a fun and whimsical look to them. We chose the <a href="https://shoppehr.com/products/novelty-pint?variant=39428860772440" target="_blank">Novelty Pint</a> which is perfect for small throw blankets and favorite dolls, and this <a href="https://shoppehr.com/products/novelty-mini?variant=32961043759192" target="_blank">Novelty Mini size</a> is absolute perfection for hair accessories, art supplies and favorite stuffies! Also, not that I needed another reason to love <a href="https://shoppehr.com/" target="_blank">Pehr</a>, buuuut they have also recently started selling <a href="https://shoppehr.com/collections/organic-baby-clothing" target="_blank">clothing</a>! Say whaaaat?! Yep, they now have the cutest little outfits and pajamas. Cue the excitement right there because pajamas are my jam! Bodhi's jam too apparently, he absolutely loves these little <a href="https://shoppehr.com/products/toddler-pajama?variant=39597679837272" target="_blank">Rocketman Toddler Pajamas</a> and asks to wear them constantly now, they're super soft so I really don't blame him, plus they are made from organic fabric which I love!

It's so good, a really great alternative to sodas and sugary drinks and it also has health benefits that I love. What I am not a huge fan of though is super strong tasting kombuchas. I've had a few here and there that tasted like straight up carbonated vinegar and needless to say, I wasn't in love with those haha. The milder tasting ones are more my vibe and the ones I tend to love the most, and I recently found a new kombucha brand that I dare say might be my most favorite kombucha brand ever! <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/" target="_blank">Rowdy Mermaid</a>! Have you ever heard of them? I came across them and was of course my ocean loving soul was drawn to their name and logo, I mean, have you ever seen cuter branding? And the taste is even better! It's mild, but packed with flavor! The kids even love it, they think it's a super fun treat and I love that they can get some extra good live cultures for gut health when they drink it instead of sugar and artificial color filled garbage. <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/" target="_blank">Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha</a> was created to be less sugary, less acidic, less "vinegary" and safer for your entire family, I think they truly knocked it out of the park with their taste and formulation (you can read more about the origins of <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/" target="_blank">Rowdy Mermaid</a> <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/pages/origins" target="_blank">HERE</a>). <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/" target="_blank">Rowdy Mermaid</a> was kind enough to send over a variety of their amazing kombuchas and we are fans for life! We have loved all of the flavors but a few of our favorites have been <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/products/savory-peach" target="_blank">Savory Peach</a>, <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/products/alpine-lavender" target="_blank">Alpine Lavender</a>, and <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/products/rowdy-belly" target="_blank">Rowdy Belly</a> (Bella and Bodhi's favorite), and on the top of the list of ones I really want to try is their <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/products/grapefruit-rise" target="_blank">Grapefruit Rise Kombucha</a>, the not yet released <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/products/hibiscus-pulse" target="_blank">Hibiscus Pulse</a>, and their new <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/collections/adaptonic" target="_blank">Rowdy Mermaid Adaptonic sparkling immunity tonics</a>! They also sell super rad merch, and this <a href="https://rowdymermaid.com/products/rowdy-mermaid-shirt" target="_blank">Rowdy Tee Shirt</a> is one of my favorites that's currently in heavy rotation in my wardrobe, it's literally one of the softest tees I've ever owned and so comfortable!

Wow has it ever been a busy week! We've gotten so much done, and thankfully one of the things marked off on my to-do list is this post! You all know I love sharing my favorite things with you aaaaand there may be a discount code for one of the brands too! Not many things planned for this weekend other than marking more things off of our to-do list (holiday gift guides are also in the works and I'm just a litttttle excited about them), spending time with my husband and kiddos, maybe making some homemade cinnamon rolls, and hoping the weather is nice enough to get a little bit of surfskating in and spend some time outdoors seeing the beautiful autumn leaves that are starting to change colors! What are your weekend plans?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjeI11KucL3ovFQzLHLMJK9NMNCLOf3Qky1-s6AfQD0k2mr0uZzr8Lc2K4WgGmxZejIuelE1JsXD6ygTVZaiahg0qi1a0oZbwm2_OQ9q8kWUnXqYk4YFra1Gtdq_0dBvndMyDHp_uJRVmJVitJXb23dnhUFCKqpdEZZzkwpc2EhK3VYg8jPDyeoMCjz=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2047" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjeI11KucL3ovFQzLHLMJK9NMNCLOf3Qky1-s6AfQD0k2mr0uZzr8Lc2K4WgGmxZejIuelE1JsXD6ygTVZaiahg0qi1a0oZbwm2_OQ9q8kWUnXqYk4YFra1Gtdq_0dBvndMyDHp_uJRVmJVitJXb23dnhUFCKqpdEZZzkwpc2EhK3VYg8jPDyeoMCjz=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://imbodhi.co/" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;">IMBODHI</span></a></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I haven't really added a lot of items so my closet this year, I've actually probably donated of half of my clothes in the past few months because they were just hanging there not being worn and I thought to myself what was the point of having them if they weren't being used. So going forward I've been trying to be more intentional about the items I am adding in. Only adding items that are high quality, even if that means spending a bit more and owning less, buying something only if I truly LOVE it and can see myself wearing it for a long time and not purchasing just because it was on sale for a good deal or cheap or trendy, only adding in the things that speak to me, that make my soul happy every time I wear them and that I actually enjoy wearing! No more uncomfortable clothes, items that are colors I dislike, things that maybe I'll fit into someday, stuff that's are too big for me, clothes that I don't really love as much as I could or hardly ever reach for. One thing I HAVE added to my wardrobe recently is this beautiful and outrageously comfortable piece from <a href="https://imbodhi.co/" target="_blank">IMBODHI</a>! It's the peak of comfort, pretty sure it's illegal in some countries for clothing to be this comfortable (okay, kinda joking about that one haha), but ya get my drift, it's just a super nice, super awesome piece of clothing! It's the <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/u/1/#">Bōdhi Jumper in Oatmeal</a> in case you were wondering, and also in case you were about to ask, yes, you absolutely NEED it in your closet, trust me, I'm pretty sure it's not a want, but a need. Perfect for lounging, running errands, pretty much whatever! <a href="https://imbodhi.co/" target="_blank">IMBODHI</a> likes to call it their "Do-Everything-Outfit" and I'd be inclined to agree, it's the perfect minimalist outfit. Oh wait, you weren't convinced just yet? Maybe this'll do it... it's made from environmentally friendly plant based fabrics (tencel, which is created from eucalyptus fivers)! How rad is that?! You won't need to worry about constantly shedding microplastics into the environment and it's also so breathable for your skin!

I mean all the things I've tried anyway, buuuut if the products I own are any evidence of how amazing all the rest of their products are, then I'm pretty positive that literally everyone in the world needs to know about them as soon as possible. Take their <a href="https://thelyfestyleco.com/collections/summer-essentials/products/beach-mist-after-sun-spray" target="_blank">Beach Mist After Sun Spray </a> for example: during our last trip to Lake Erie, I miiiight have gotten a little bit too much sun. I thought I was fine until I got home and realized how red the back of my legs were (ouch!), literally on fire, so I thought to myself, why not give this spray a try and see if it's all it's cracked up to be. When I tell you this product is what sold me. Within 3 hours of the first spray, my sunburn was 50% gone, done a second spray a little while later and within an hour I'd say it was a good 75% gone. I decided what could one more application before bed hurt... I kid you not, my sunburn (which was pretty bad mind you) was completely 100% GONE the next morning when I woke up. Like are you kidding me, it's such amazing stuff and it's a product I plan to make sure we always have on hand from here on out. Also really loving their <a href="https://thelyfestyleco.com/products/100-natural-brow-oil" target="_blank">100% Natural Brow Oil</a>, I haven't used it as consistently as I'd like (chalk that up to mom brain and our everyday busy life that has been extra busy as of late) but I have noticed a difference in my brows since I've started using it when I remember (usually a couple nights a week). I wish I would have taken a before photo so I could share an "in progress" photo so you could see the difference, but it's absolutely made a change in my brows that have been a bit sparse since I overplucked them in my early teens ages go haha. <a href="https://thelyfestyleco.com/" target="_blank">The Lyfestyle Co.</a> also sent over this <a href="https://thelyfestyleco.com/collections/haircare/products/detox-hair-serum" target="_blank">Detox Hair Serum</a> (which is amazing for split ends, dry scalp and color treated hair) and this <a href="https://thelyfestyleco.com/collections/haircare/products/refresh-dry-shampoo" target="_blank">Refresh Dry Shampoo</a> (which works wonderfully well and the only 4 ingredients are are a legit yessss from me) AND this <a href="https://thelyfestyleco.com/products/bamboo-body-polish-1" target="_blank">Bamboo Body Polish</a> that smalls absolutely divine and is perfect for any skin that needs a gentle exfoliation! I of course LOVE that all of their products are all free of parabens, sulfates and harsh chemicals, and are created with positivity and good vibes in mind!

Personally, I love them too (lime and lemon have always been favorite flavors of mine), but I'm not always a fan all of the ingredients, especially the artificial food dyes (my kiddos always seem to be drawn to the red popsicles and that never goes well), and let's not forget loads of corn syrup that they're filled with (and I'm not even going to mention how each one is wrapped in plastic... oops, I guess I did mention it lol). Thankfully, I have been able to start making some of our own since one of our favorite brands, <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/" target="_blank">Zoku</a>, recently sent some super awesome reusable popsicle molds our way! I'm so stoked to create fun and healthier options for the kiddos now that we have these <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/collections/pops-ice-molds/products/mini-pop-molds" target="_blank">Mini Pop Molds</a> (such a fun shape and absolutely perfect for little hands) and this <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/collections/pops-ice-molds/products/mod-pops" target="_blank">Mod Pops Mold</a> (absolutely loving these for bigger popsicles). Fill up the molds with your liquid of choice or homemade popsicle mixture, pop them in the freezer and voila you have homemade popsicles! It only takes around 6 to 8 hours to freeze to completion, and both style of molds come with built in "drip guards" for the sticks so you don't have to worry about getting messy while you enjoy your homemade treats! <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/" target="_blank">Zoku</a> also sent over this <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/collections/neat-stack/products/11-pc-neat-stack" target="_blank">11 Piece Neat Stack</a> set nesting food storage containers which I am really excited to start using! They are leak proof, dishwasher, freezer and microwave safe, color coded (especially great for meal and snack prep if you're trying to eat healthy) and they also come with a freezer ice pack to help keep your food fresh for longer if you're out and about! A couple of our other favorite <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/" target="_blank">Zoku</a> products are these two toned items, <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/collections/vacuum-insulated/products/stainless-steel-powder-coated-18-oz-bottle?variant=39382185738355" target="_blank">this stainless steel water bottle</a> is awesome (I have the Ash color and it's so pretty in real life), love <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/collections/drinkware-accessories/products/two-tone-pocket-straw" target="_blank">this reusable straw</a> (that comes with a carry case small enough to fit in your pocket or attach to your keychain), and my husband's most favorite, this <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/collections/coffee-tea/products/3-in-1-powder-coated-stainless-steel-tumbler?variant=31968779075699" target="_blank">12 oz stainless steel tumbler</a>. We have been trying to stay on a budget lately even more than usual and <a href="https://www.zokuhome.com/collections/coffee-tea/products/3-in-1-powder-coated-stainless-steel-tumbler?variant=31968779075699" target="_blank">this tumbler</a> has been a lifesaver for him to bring a coffee from home to work so he doesn't have to stop and buy one (it's already saved us so much money). He has a 45+ minute commute everyday to work and he loves that his coffee is still hot when he gets there every morning!

Can you believe that autumn is officially here? This summer (and entire year really) have seriously flown by! We are definitely missing summer a whole lot around here already, but Bella and I did get to wear our new Billabong sweatshirts today so it wasn't all bad! But seriously, this year is absolutely flying by at record speed: school has started again, the weather is cooling off (it was downright cold here this morning), all of the pumpkin things are everywhere (snapped a picture of these pretty ones at the orchard last week), had an eye exam and got some new glasses, my mom and two of my sisters came for a visit this past week all the way from Missouri (thank you mom for making that 12 hour trip to come spend some time with us)... what a BUSY last month or two it's been for us! I'll share more about all of the things going on here in the next month or so, but for now, I'm sharing some super fun things below that we are loving lately! Let me know if you love them too!</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgetSkKRGB7nPB3oL5aQr5WDEMxEN9xq-OI3U6oemUvSvWKLRLtR4pw1oWpYgwv6eggxMt4j_tkmI6bLNdP8IRGTFEcDref6-eRBwvC_QW3WZhqo6tjY7uQGEOKYJuy0qM5qgMVAbTHSKE/s2048/20210924_171359+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgetSkKRGB7nPB3oL5aQr5WDEMxEN9xq-OI3U6oemUvSvWKLRLtR4pw1oWpYgwv6eggxMt4j_tkmI6bLNdP8IRGTFEcDref6-eRBwvC_QW3WZhqo6tjY7uQGEOKYJuy0qM5qgMVAbTHSKE/w640-h640/20210924_171359+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://swash.design/surfbunnies" target="_blank">SURF BUNNIES</a></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">You guys already know I'm a huge fan of surf culture and beach lifestyle, so pretty much everything from <a href="https://swash.design/surfbunnies" target="_blank">Surf Bunnies</a> is at the top of my wish list. Based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Surf Bunnies is a brand all about connecting women and creating community and sisterhood in the Grand Strand area of Myrtle Beach and across the Carolinas through surf culture and beach lifestyle. We are planning to move to Myrtle Beach this year and I can't wait to join in on activities and meet the ladies who are a part of this, but in the meantime I'm joining them in spirit from afar. I recently purchased their <a href="https://swash.design/surf-bunnies-shop/t-shirt" target="_blank">Original Surf Bunnies Tee</a> and I am absolutely obsessed with it. It's so comfortable, cute, and has that amazing vintage feel even though it's brand new.

I mean, it's probably time I started actually making an effort to take care of my skin anyways since I'm hitting that part of my twenties where I'm a whooooooooole lot closer to 30 than 20 haha. I may not be great at getting my hair done and I may have never even had a manicure done in a salon lol, but I've been researching alllll of the products, trying a few new things, and this <a href="https://le-vel.com/Products/THRIVE/SkinSerum" target="_blank">Thrive Skin Infinite CBD Correcting Serum</a> is absolutely one of my favorites that I will recommend again and again and again and again (okay, you get the point). My friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hollyboatwright/" target="_blank">Holly</a> is the one who got me hooked on this and sells the best skin care (as well as vitamins and shakes). She's a consultant for Thrive and dare I say "thriving"?! Haha, but in all honesty, she's so great and if you need great skincare, she's absolutely the one to hit up! You can find her on instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hollyboatwright/" target="_blank">@hollyboatwright</a> where she'll answer any questions you have, make sure you get only THE best deals, will walk you through the ordering process, will send you samples of vitamins and shakes if you want to try before you buy, AND has been known to give away lots of free product credits (so you can get more products for less). Anyways, back to the serum, I've been using it on my skin for a little over a month and I absolutely LOVE how it makes my skin look and feel. It's infused with CBD which is a natural anti-inflammatory and as soon as I apply it to my face, literally within seconds, I can already tell a difference in my complexion. Redness gone, fine lines smoothed out, skin tone evened, it's seriously amazing! <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hollyboatwright/" target="_blank">Head here to give Holly a follow on Instagram</a> and find out how you can get your own Infinite CBD Correcting Serum to up your skincare game!</span></div></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvuF5jExsTECoR6ngnv2a38dk4lPGklW2_f8GRZJv8BW5HFW5p6j7h1DgQmRMKmK1uU39oqCavEfjZr0Qik_HSbvDcADPYbYZpT-iQ7PN_K9ssEnpTGhVxUKuZFp9U9QjlkhCf6hxLfww/s2048/DSC_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvuF5jExsTECoR6ngnv2a38dk4lPGklW2_f8GRZJv8BW5HFW5p6j7h1DgQmRMKmK1uU39oqCavEfjZr0Qik_HSbvDcADPYbYZpT-iQ7PN_K9ssEnpTGhVxUKuZFp9U9QjlkhCf6hxLfww/w640-h640/DSC_1080.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0uIeVKiUX8-xk4Ye44mrcS2cGCJJF5od0PufIE76RsW39IFavCzAW-pBMqU4TbDdPxzzfu49znWhNx5E3u4-IDwRHr9PSBLmrP3ZupcpBhk6vqI6YyjP76OW0YnVTuHsSOY6rVd5H-k/s2048/DSC_1097.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0uIeVKiUX8-xk4Ye44mrcS2cGCJJF5od0PufIE76RsW39IFavCzAW-pBMqU4TbDdPxzzfu49znWhNx5E3u4-IDwRHr9PSBLmrP3ZupcpBhk6vqI6YyjP76OW0YnVTuHsSOY6rVd5H-k/w640-h640/DSC_1097.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://intelligenceofnature.com/" target="_blank">ION INTELLIGENCEOF NATURE GUT HEALTH</a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">I first discovered <a href="https://intelligenceofnature.com/" target="_blank">Ion Intelligence of Nature (formerly known as Ion Biome)</a> last year when I was on a search for anything that might help Bodhi's eczema. His skin issues aren't something I really shared on my social media, but it was such a tough time for our entire family. It was so hard seeing him in pain, itching so badly, scratching until his skin bled and it seemed nothing was helping. We tried so many creams, lotions, oils, baths... so much. Finally, I asked a few friends who I trusted what they would recommend, and <a href="https://intelligenceofnature.com/collections/shop-all/products/gut-health-supplement?variant=39683611656246" target="_blank">Ion</a> was suggested on more than one occasion. I ordered a bottle not really expecting anything but hoping just the same (it was a keep your expectations low but keep your hopes high kinda deal, ya know) and I was amazed. This (combined with one other product) are what we used and I can tell you today that his eczema is GONE. Yep, he is 100% eczema free, the most perfect smooth skin, something I never thought I would say. So many nights I spent holding him while he cried and itched uncontrollably, me crying and praying while holding him, it was awful just seeing him in agony and I am so grateful that my friends suggested this product. The past few months I've actually started developing eczema myself (no idea why, nothing has changed except adding in exercising 6 days a week into my routine) and the itchy inflamed patches are driving me crazy, so I've recently started incorporating the same protocol for myself that helped him. Crossing my fingers that I'll eventually see the same as we did in him (I'll definitely update once I see more changes), but I can truly say this product changed our lives. Your interest is probably piqued by now and you're wondering exactly what is Ion... <a href="https://intelligenceofnature.com/" target="_blank">ION*</a> is a line of all-natural, soil-derived gut health products that goes beyond probiotics to strengthen the gut lining in adults, children, and pets (yep, it's even safe for your fur-babies). It helps to improve communication between the gut and the brain, protecting the bloodstream from toxins like glyphosate, gluten, antibiotics, and more! How awesome is that? While Ion is not a probiotic or prebiotic, it contains an active ingredient called Terrahydrite (which is a family of molecules made by bacteria). These molecules are derived from carbon frozen in uncompromised and untarnished soil and completely free of modern chemicals. Ion is great because it has so many purposes and supports your gut in a variety of ways, which in turn can support your entire body and help it function the way it was created to; like boosted immunity (which is more important these days more than ever), supported digestion, helps alleviate gluten sensitivity, and helps enhance mental clarity. Adding <a href="https://intelligenceofnature.com/collections/shop-all/products/gut-health-supplement?variant=39683611656246" target="_blank">this</a> to our daily supplement routine was one of the best decisions I've ever made, we have several bottles but the adult sized bottle with the pump top is so convenient and easy to use!

Bella and Bodhi have their matching retro sunglasses and I literally cannot handle it when they wear them. I gush about how cute they are in them pretty much every 2 seconds, they're that cute. They wore them for the first time during our recent trip up to Lake Erie, they wore them almost all day, they stayed on really well too while they played in sand, splashed in the water, swam, and even when they wiped out a few times in the waves! They are great! Another amazing product from <a href="https://babygrain.co/" target="_blank">Baby Grain</a> that we love is this <a href="https://babygrain.co/products/liewood-dante-beach-set" target="_blank">Liewood rainbow beach toy set</a>! They've played with this a ton every time we've gone to the lakes over the past month or so, the bucket is sturdy and carries sand and water well, and the sand molds are just too sticking cute (the pink shell is one of my favorites). Also really loving this super cute <a href="https://babygrain.co/products/snack-cup-taupe" target="_blank">Taupe Snack Cup</a> lately too! It's perfect for holding Bodhi's favorite crackers, and I love the neutral color, plus it folds down really small for storage while not in use, not to mention it also comes with a lid so you can bring it anywhere without worrying about spills.

He's requested an ice cream cake and I'm so excited to give him his gifts (some <a href="https://lairdsuperfood.com/products/peruvian-dark-roast-ground-coffee" target="_blank">organic coffee from Laird Superfoods</a>, a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1002676193/nomad-bar?ref=yr_purchases" target="_blank">bar of natural soap from Ocean Inspired Soaps</a>, and <a href="https://www.imperialbarberproducts.com/shop/shave/after-shave-bundle/" target="_blank">some shaving products from Imperial Barber Company</a>), hoping to spend some time outdoors as long as the weather cooperates and spend lots of time together and celebrating our favorite man all weekend long! What are your weekend plans? Let me know in the comments below!

You can keep those around all autumn and winter long thanks to <a href="https://saltyface.ca/discount/JOYFULTRIBE10" target="_blank">Salty Face</a>! Their <a href="https://saltyface.ca/collections/frontpage/products/gradual-face-tan" target="_blank">gradual face tan</a> is amazing and gives just the right amount of glow without being overdone, and makes it so much easier to wear less makeup too! Their <a href="https://saltyface.ca/collections/frontpage/products/freckle-stain" target="_blank">freckle stain</a> is my absolute favorite product though, it's so easy to throw on and get the most perfect freckles! I actually have quite a lot of freckles naturally, but sometimes I like a little extra for that just in from the beach and soaking in the sunshine all day kinda look and let me tell you, it is perfection! Their <a href="https://saltyface.ca/collections/frontpage/products/gradual-face-tan" target="_blank">Gradual Face Tan </a>is a tanning water created with clean ingredients and no yucky chemicals, it is also vegan friendly, cruelty free and gluten free! Their <a href="https://saltyface.ca/collections/frontpage/products/freckle-stain" target="_blank">Freckle Stain</a> (probably one of my most favorite products ever) is made with the same standards and quality that their <a href="https://saltyface.ca/collections/frontpage/products/gradual-face-tan" target="_blank">Gradual Face Tan</a> is, nothing but clean ingredients. It's perfect if you don't have freckles but want them, or if you just want to add a little extra oomf to your own freckles! I personally get a lot of freckles during summer (and have them all year, they just lighten up in the colder months) but I love layering these with my natural ones to slightly amplify and accentuate them an even more. It's super easy to apply and looks so natural!

Our last bottle lasted us almost a year (used mostly as all purpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, streak free cleaner, and foaming hand soap, but a few times as laundry detergent). <a href="https://branchbasics.com/" target="_blank">Branch Basics</a> is human safe, plant and mineral based, fragrance free, is biodegradable, cruelty free and not tested on animals, non-GMO, and contains no harmful preservatives! Literally everything you could want in a household cleaner. But how well does it actually clean you might be wondering? Pretty well if you ask me! On top of all that, it's a minimalists dream, not only because of the amazing ingredients, but because of the one bottle for everything deal! It's also environmentally friendly, just one bottle of concentrate means when you run out, you can just buy ONE refill bottle of concentrate to refill all of your bottles instead of having to re-buy the entire kit, plus they sell an amazing set of glass spray bottles that you can buy if you prefer to avoid plastic ones. Not sure if you are ready to commit? You can always try their mini concentrate for $10 here (but I can promise you'll love it enough to want to order the big bottle).

Maybe you wanted something that was all beach related? Well, I found the perfect one, the <a href="https://beach.ly/" target="_blank">Beachly subscription box</a>! It's perfect for anyone who lives at or near the beach (whether that's an ocean beach or a lake beach) or really just anyone who loves the beach lifestyle! <a href="https://beach.ly/pages/women" target="_blank">Beachly</a> was kind enough to send over their summer subscription box for me and I have absolutely LOVED everything in it! The beach cover up, the Sun Bum sun screen, the beauty face mask, the insulated cooler tote, the round beach blanket, the pretty bracelet... everything has been so, SO GOOD and it's been great trying out all of the things they sent! I'm stoked because their Fall Box is shipping next and let me tell you, it's a good one, like seriously good. Filled with THE CUTEST things like a sweatshirt, a backpack, jewelry, home decor and beauty products, you won't want to miss this one. <a href="https://beach.ly/" target="_blank">Beachly</a> is a quarterly subscription box that is filled with anywhere from $250+ to $325+ worth of goodies all for only $99 (even less at only $85 per box if you prepay for the year). When you sign up for <a href="https://beach.ly/" target="_blank">Beachly </a>that means every 3 months a box filled with a ton of goodies that compliment your beach lifestyle will arrive on your doorstep ready for you to love and enjoy! Not only does it feel nice to get 4 coastal inspired boxes per year filled with 6 to 8 items per box that are 50% off of normal retail, BUT you can feel great knowing that every box gives back! <a href="https://beach.ly/" target="_blank">Beachly</a> has partnered with <a href="https://sea-trees.org/" target="_blank">Seatrees</a> to help restore coastal eco systems by planting and protecting the ecosystems! They also have a beauty subscription box as well as a <a href="https://beach.ly/" target="_blank">Beachly box</a> for men!

Ever take your ring off to sleep or do dishes or while you're working out or doing any of the things that aren't exactly great for delicate jewelry? Ever misplace said rings because you didn't have the perfect place to store them? I've misplaced my rings a few times, thankfully I've found them pretty quickly, but I decided that I didn't want to have to feel around underneath my bed or nightstand or pull the microwave out looking for them anymore, so <a href="https://themrsbox.com/" target="_blank">Mrs. Box</a> for the win! It's the perfect place to store your rings whenever you're not wearing them and you'll always know where they are! This beautiful <a href="https://themrsbox.com/products/the-jones-noble-single" target="_blank">Jones Noble ring box</a> is actually my second ring box from the Mrs. Box (the double ring box like I got is actually currently out of stock but you can sign up for restock notifications <a href="https://themrsbox.com/products/the-jones-noble-double" target="_blank"><i>here</i></a> or check out the <a href="https://themrsbox.com/products/the-asher-noble-double" target="_blank">Asher Noble Double</a> here that is similar), I got <a href="https://themrsbox.com/products/the-norah-mae-classic-double" target="_blank">The Norah Mae Classic Double velvet ring box</a> a few years ago when my husband upgraded my ring (and still absolutely love it). These ring boxes make the perfect heirloom to pass onto your children and grandchildren someday, their quality is amazing and they are so unique, unlike any standard ring boxes you might find in a jewelry store. Another product from The Mrs. Box that I cannot recommend enough is <a href="https://themrsbox.com/products/the-gem-pen" target="_blank">the Gem Pen</a>! It's one of my favorite ways to give my ring a little clean and a lot of extra sparkle in between deep cleanings and only takes a few seconds to take your the stones in your ring from dull and dirty to wow and shiny!

font-family: helvetica;">It's been a fast summer over here, we've been trying to slow it down a bit but so far it just seems to be speeding up faster and faster (probably because we're planning a big move later this year and have a bout a million things on our to do list). We've been doing lots of skateboarding, swimming, spending quality time with each other, eating watermelon and popsicles, and Bella even started learning how to swim this past weekend! It's been a good summer (even though the weather has been meh and rainy a lot) and we've had lots of fun! Of course I wanted to pop in here and share a few things we've been loving this summer, read all about them below!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEIhAI4BvHKb_R1myTLsvb88O-I0bnZWqWT8hLxviKgP6_NSZQPtPlVRmjGrawVmE5ldmMX8ps0lGw8BkxKnVPTybPNk2AqmhjJRB2zb6EcRpUzIU_9niLxm1YW-JmUzrq4zRiVXCZqHo/s2048/DSC_0066+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEIhAI4BvHKb_R1myTLsvb88O-I0bnZWqWT8hLxviKgP6_NSZQPtPlVRmjGrawVmE5ldmMX8ps0lGw8BkxKnVPTybPNk2AqmhjJRB2zb6EcRpUzIU_9niLxm1YW-JmUzrq4zRiVXCZqHo/w640-h640/DSC_0066+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNHgrxj0-pdx3oNubm6tbsSIaVhKWxHc7neAgVxLaF9chpdV_zrnTUXWX7wVS-mrSAwxQMAsoJTciGTaQYnIeFRXKOU762d6-rKPtm79Pl72RYgqwnyF7aF7MVWC2UxJLBagAIZS9FvY/s2048/DSC_0046+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNHgrxj0-pdx3oNubm6tbsSIaVhKWxHc7neAgVxLaF9chpdV_zrnTUXWX7wVS-mrSAwxQMAsoJTciGTaQYnIeFRXKOU762d6-rKPtm79Pl72RYgqwnyF7aF7MVWC2UxJLBagAIZS9FvY/w640-h640/DSC_0046+%25282%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://tiganilux.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">TIGANI LUX</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">You've probably seen me share about <a href="https://tiganilux.com/" target="_blank">Tigani Lux</a> several times over on Instagram already if you follow me on there, it's not often that I come across a brand that has products so beautiful it stops me in my tracks, but <a href="https://tiganilux.com/" target="_blank">Tigani Lux</a> did. I knew their stuff was beautiful from seeing photos online, but when their products arrived, seeing them in person and trying them on was seriously on another level! I am obsessed, and I don't say that lightly, their clothing is so beautiful and well made. I am in love with all the natural fibers, the linen, it feels so wonderful and natural on my skin, and so breathable compared so a lot of fabrics and so perfect. I wear the <a href="https://tiganilux.com/collections/bottoms/products/makenzie-shorts?variant=19148104204342" target="_blank">Makenzie Shorts (in Natural)</a> shorts constantly, they're perfect to throw on with a cute and simple tee (love pairing it with a surf brand tee), I also love wearing them with my swimsuit (they're great to wear in place of a coverup especially while walking the beach). This <a href="https://tiganilux.com/collections/knits/products/billie-slouch?variant=19169180942390" target="_blank">Billie Slouch (in Apricot)</a> is so lovely and the color is even more beautiful and the perfect shade of warm peachy pink in person, it's been a little to warm to wear it consistently but as soon as the weather starts cooling off in another month and a half I'm gonna wear this constantly (and I especially can't wait to wear down to the beach to watch the sun rise over the ocean in a few months once we've moved). I literally just need one of everything they sell, and you definitely are gonna feel the same once you check out all the pretty things <a href="https://tiganilux.com/" target="_blank">(here)</a> over at <a href="https://tiganilux.com/" target="_blank">Tigani Lux</a>!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwwgGD6ra-KPBV7GN20GiL5t4lWzgVgLOJOqCUWnsrODuSZ-IP59pIj-Q7ZB944vonMsQ6Z_07VCdPSAOBlqLcD2ZpV_qa5TreDG3rsjt3c51jyNu9phHWDDLIppcOkKPu4NYjOhvSkC0/s2048/20210704_201257.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwwgGD6ra-KPBV7GN20GiL5t4lWzgVgLOJOqCUWnsrODuSZ-IP59pIj-Q7ZB944vonMsQ6Z_07VCdPSAOBlqLcD2ZpV_qa5TreDG3rsjt3c51jyNu9phHWDDLIppcOkKPu4NYjOhvSkC0/w640-h640/20210704_201257.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVHQ7Q50Z3inQWhDNwgrry7PeDE1cE0M_3AJ10WfbAn3u-WWiFL_9E-1rTHnnv0dtuJeqLpxl3FIhItPBw6IlRS7rjjLmg0shIzBdXKoeNAxeXwNwutpSW4Z6feWlCQoBFQGz1CiRxFuY/s2048/DSC_0681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVHQ7Q50Z3inQWhDNwgrry7PeDE1cE0M_3AJ10WfbAn3u-WWiFL_9E-1rTHnnv0dtuJeqLpxl3FIhItPBw6IlRS7rjjLmg0shIzBdXKoeNAxeXwNwutpSW4Z6feWlCQoBFQGz1CiRxFuY/w640-h640/DSC_0681.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.mamasblooming.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">MAMAS BLOOMING</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">I love finding small shops that I have things in common with, and crazy enough this shops is based out of a little town in Missouri near where I grew up, it's such a small world sometimes! Anyway, I am a huge fan of this brand to say the least, they sell handmade products with natural ingredients and some of the cutest items that are perfect for gifting as well! I picked out this <a href="https://www.mamasblooming.com/product-page/free-range-bodysuit" target="_blank">Free Range Bodysuit</a> for my new niece Eliana that is due in November, it's going to look so adorable on her, and this <a href="https://www.mamasblooming.com/product-page/mama-belly-butter" target="_blank">Mama Belly Butter</a> is going to make a perfect gift for my sister in law (who is expecting my niece)! Cannot wait to send these their way before too long along with a couple of other goodies! My absolute favorite product from <a href="https://www.mamasblooming.com/" target="_blank">Mamas Blooming</a> though is this <a href="https://www.mamasblooming.com/product-page/bye-bye-bug-spray" target="_blank">Bye Bye Bug Spray</a>! I was slightly skeptical that it would actually work if I'm being completely honest, BUT I have been absolutely blown away at it's effectiveness! We've used it a few times now, most notably Independence Day night to do sparklers and fireworks. Usually I'm a mosquito magnet, last year we didn't have any bug spray to use and I ended up getting about 30 mosquito bites (I was pretty miserable and itchy to say the least), so this year I came prepared with the goods. This year I sprayed this all over us as soon as dusk settled and the stars started peeking out, the mosquitos were like "sayonara dudes" as they ran for the hills. So, like you should totally buy it. We chose the 2-5 year formulation so it would be safest for Bodhi, but it worked perfectly for all of us!

He loved it so much in fact, it's all he's used since then! Not a single bit of conventional canned chemical filled shaving cream has touched his handsome face since then haha. Their prices are great (more like amazing at only $15 for the <a href="https://www.imperialbarberproducts.com/shop/shave/field-shave-soap-canister/" target="_blank">shave soap</a> in the container, or if you just want a refill, the <a href="https://www.imperialbarberproducts.com/shop/shave/glycerin-shave-soap-puck/" target="_blank">shave soap puck</a> is only $12), but the fact that they last as long as they do is the best part. I love how environmentally friendly they are because of the refill options and my husband is able to get them to last on average 1.5 years before he even needs a refill! I mean, how cool is that?! They also sent over their <a href="https://www.imperialbarberproducts.com/shop/shave/" target="_blank">After Shave Bundle</a>, which includes <a href="https://www.imperialbarberproducts.com/shop/shave/bergamot-after-shave/" target="_blank">Bergamot Aftershave</a> as well as this <a href="https://www.imperialbarberproducts.com/shop/shave/after-shave-balm-face-moisturizer/" target="_blank">After Shave Balm & Face Moisturizer</a>. He's never used their other products before so I'm excited to see how he likes them (I plan to gift these to him for his birthday next month along with some roasted coffee beans from one of our favorite places).

It is 100% compostable and is the world’s first compostable phone case! It's created using flax shive and a plant based biopolymer and it's so compostable you can even throw it in your backyard composting bin and it'll break down right there (but it's also high quality which means it won't just break down in your pocket). I've been using it for a little over a month now and it seems to be holding up great and protects my phone shockingly well!

I got my husband his first belt from <a href="https://missionbelt.com/" target="_blank">Mission Belt</a> about 4, maybe 5, years ago and he's been wearing their belts ever since! He LOVES them, they're comfortable and easy to adjust. We love that there are no holes so your belt is never too loose or too tight, they are micro-adjustable so they'll always fits just perfect every single time and you'll never have to damage your belt by having to put new holes in it to make it fit just right. I love how these belts are better for the environment because you don't have to replace them very often, they last forever, where when he was using traditional belts, they'd crack and break within a few months of daily use. The quality of Mission Belts is absolutely amazing, and worth every single penny. Okay, so their name is <a href="https://missionbelt.com/" target="_blank">Mission Belt</a>, so you're probably wondering, what exactly IS their mission? Well let me tell you, it's a good one. One dollar for every single belt sold at Mission Belt <span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">fight hunger and poverty world wide through micro-lending!

I have a very beachy, surf inspired and minimal style so it's going to fit right in, and I know my husband will love this clock just as much as I do. If you're needing a unique gift for someone in your life who also loves the ocean, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TimberWave" target="_blank">Timber Wave</a> is the perfect place to find it! They have so many beautiful clocks and plant holders (which I mayyyyy need to get too), each with different designs, perfect for every aesthetic! <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TimberWave" target="_blank">Timber Wave</a> is a small family owned shop, based in San Clemente, California, where each item is hand created using sustainably and locally harvested woods and eco friendly water based paints (that are also fade proof). All of the printing on each clock is done using 100% solar power (which is super rad), the clock parts are manufactured in the USA, and each item is assembled by hand! Not to mention that a portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to non-profits who help protect and preserve our oceans. I chose the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/673799615/birds-eye-view-ocean-table-clock-coastal?ref=shop_home_active_8&pro=1&frs=1" target="_blank">"Bird's Eye View" Ocean Table Clock</a> for my husband and I can't wait to see it sitting on his night stand! It's even prettier in person than in photos and the attention to detail and craftsmanship put into this clock is perfection.

I know he's going to love them! I was so excited when I opened the packages because everything smells SO GOOD, I literally can't wait for him to start using them, aaaaand I mayyyy even borrow them on occasion for myself because they smell THAT amazing haha! Not to mention being made from clean, high quality, sustainable and environmentally friendly ingredients! I'll be gifting Frank <a href="https://jackhenry.co/collections/face/products/the-face-kit" target="_blank">The Face Kit</a>, which includes <a href="https://jackhenry.co/collections/face/products/cleanse" target="_blank">Cleans+ Cleanser</a> (which can also be used as shampoo), <a href="https://jackhenry.co/collections/face/products/face-toner" target="_blank">Face Toner</a>, <a href="https://jackhenry.co/collections/face/products/nightly-detox" target="_blank">Nightly Detox Oil</a> and <a href="https://jackhenry.co/collections/face/products/super-face-moisturizer" target="_blank">Super Face Oil</a>, along with the <a href="https://jackhenry.co/collections/hair/products/hair-refresh" target="_blank">Hair Refresh Salt Spray</a> (which smells good enough to eat). All of their products are made in Southern California and crafted with organic and minimal ingredients (ingredients you can actually read the name of instead of being like "say what?"). <a href="https://jackhenry.co/" target="_blank">Jack Henry Co</a>. came about because the founder of the company one day looked at one a hair product they had been using and found that it contained 33 ingredients (many of which were synthetic and known irritants) and decided they wanted better! Something that was effective, contained no harmful ingredients, and that was full of ingredients that are better for you (and the earth). <a href="https://jackhenry.co/" target="_blank">Jack Henry</a> remains steadfast in their desire to create products that are top notch, formulated and crafted in-house, and never tested on animals. Their containers are made from amber glass and are 100% recyclable (it's also great to note that the amber tint to the glass protects the ingredients inside from light and UV rays that could potentially damage the products at a molecular level). Definitely have my eye on their <a href="https://jackhenry.co/products/beard-oil" target="_blank">Beard Oil</a>, <a href="https://jackhenry.co/products/deodorant" target="_blank">Deodorant</a> and <a href="https://jackhenry.co/products/supremo-organic-coffee" target="_blank">Supremo Organic (Fair Trade) Coffee</a> for my husband's upcoming August birthday!

font-family: helvetica;">Happy Friday and Memorial Day weekend! I'm so happy about my husband having an extra day off this weekend, not many plans here, just gonna take it easy and go from there (but probably gonna make a target run because we need more bubbles for our bubble machine, and thinking we might pick up a rotisserie chicken for tomorrow's dinner). I am of course, eternally grateful for the ultimate sacrifice made by so many so that we can have our freedoms. What are your weekend plans? Sharing all our recent favorites below, let me know if any of them are year favorites too or if you found some new favorites to love from this post! Happy Memorial Day (and the unofficial start of summer) friends!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OceanInspiredSoaps?ref=usf_2020" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">OCEAN INSPIRED HANDMADE SOAPS FOR EVERY OCEAN LOVER</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">Unless you're new around here, you'll know how much I LOVE the ocean, and all things ocean and surf inspired. The ocean is my happy place. I recently came across the sweetest little shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OceanInspiredSoaps?ref=usf_2020" target="_blank">Ocean Inspired Soaps</a>, and I am absolutely in love with all of their handmade products. Their soaps are all handmade (and hand poured) with natural ingredients and the soaps are even created using sea water! Yes, sea water! How cool is that?! And not just any sea water, ocean water from our future home (we are planning on moving later this year), Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! They paddle out on paddleboards and collect sea water from the Atlantic Ocean to create these soaps! Ashley, the owner, was so kind to send over the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/988717218/betty-bar?ref=shop_home_active_3" target="_blank">Betty Bar</a> for myself, and the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/988568890/dawn-patrol-coffee-bar?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Dawn Patrol Coffee Soap Bar</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1002676193/nomad-bar?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">Nomad Bar</a> for my husband (thinking I'll give him one now and save one to add to his Father's Day gifts), and this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1002498935/all-natural-coconut-lip-balm?ref=shop_home_active_4" target="_blank">All Natural Coconut Oil Lip Balm</a> (that I'm loving)! I love how clean, simple and natural the ingredients are, no chemicals or toxins to worry about, plus the soaps smell naturally amazing (such a light and wonderful scent)! These soaps are perfect for any ocean loving person in your life, those who feel the pull of the tides in their souls... or I mean, ya know, anyone bathes. Haha. They're just really great soaps and you NEED them.

I found one I loved, but it was sadly a little out of my price range after the first month, so I was on the hunt for a really great protein powder that was plant based AND also tasted good. I'm happy to report I found the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/EarthChimp-Probiotics-Superfoods-Gluten-Free-Plant-Based/dp/B07HCGMWFL" target="_blank">best protein powder ever</a> from <a href="https://earthchimp.com/" target="_blank">EarthChimp</a>! It tastes amazing, so good that I can combine it with just ice and almond milk in the blender and enjoy it without having to add a bunch of stuff to mask the taste ( even though I do love adding some peanut butter sometimes). It's also really affordable, less than $40 for around a month supply! It's plant based and full of amazing ingredients like pea, sunflower and coconut proteins, an organic fruit blend (made from bananas, dates and baobab, flax seeds, chicory root, probiotics and digestive enzymes, monk fruit extract, agave fiber, and more! It's not too sweet, not too unsweet, it's just right and doesn't give your stomach any icky feelings that some protein powders give you. It's literally one of my favorite treats, you can drink it by itself, add it to any smoothie (I love adding it with frozen bananas, peanut butter and cocoa powder for an extra rich taste), add it to muffins, pancakes (adding it to banana egg pancakes is another one of my favorite ways), add it to chia pudding, the options are endless! It has 20 grams of protein per serving, plus it's only 120 calories for an entire serving (2 scoops), not to mention being non-gmo and containing no added sugar or salt, dairy, gluten, gums or soy! The packaging is environmentally friendly, it comes in a paper bag rather than a plastic tub, it's made in small batches in Dublin Ireland AND <a href="https://www.amazon.com/EarthChimp-Probiotics-Superfoods-Gluten-Free-Plant-Based/dp/B07HCGMWFL" target="_blank">available on Amazon</a> (so you can prime it and get it to your home in 2 days)! So many reasons to love <a href="https://www.amazon.com/EarthChimp-Probiotics-Superfoods-Gluten-Free-Plant-Based/dp/B07HCGMWFL" target="_blank">this protein powder</a>! Grab it here and let me know how you like it!

Okay, can you tell I'm obsessed yet? Haha, but seriously, these are 1000000% worth every single penny. We've never had any issues with shrinking after washing and drying them (like so many sheets do), they're perfect for sensitive skin because of how smooth and soft they are (no scratchiness here), and you'll never want to get out of bed again after you purchase <a href="https://glnk.io/182l/thejoyfultribe" target="_blank">these</a>.

It's an all in one ocean inspired soak, scrub, and rinse for hair, body and bath! It smells like summer time in a container, and is created from 100% natural and organic ingredients! Beach Rinse is crafted from ingredients like salt, kelp and natural oils (like nut and seed oils and essential oils for fragrance). They sent over the <a href="https://www.beachrinse.com/products/pacifica-ca?_pos=2&_sid=f162f1b95&_ss=r" target="_blank">Pacifica</a> and <a href="https://www.beachrinse.com/products/hawaii-maui-3-4oz?_pos=2&_sid=527117343&_ss=r" target="_blank">Maui</a> Beach Rinses and I am OBSESSED with both of them. <a href="https://www.beachrinse.com/products/pacifica-ca?_pos=2&_sid=f162f1b95&_ss=r" target="_blank">The Pacifica</a> one smells like coconut sunscreen, it reminds me of a long day spent by the sea, soaking in the sun and splashing in the waves. The <a href="https://www.beachrinse.com/products/hawaii-maui-3-4oz?_pos=2&_sid=527117343&_ss=r" target="_blank">Maui</a> Beach Rinse is equally as amazing, it smells so good, just like pi<span style="background-color: white;">ñ</span>a colada, I could literally eat it (I mean, not gonna of course, haha, but it smells that good enough to eat). What I'm loving most about these products besides how amazing they smell, is how versatile they are! I love how I can use it to give texture and moisture to my hair (kind of like a salt spray), that I can use it as an exfoliant for my skin that leaves is silky smooth and moisturized. If it's a warm and relaxing bath you've been looking forward to all day after the kids are asleep, you can even use it as a salt soak in your bath! The Holidays may be awhile off still, but there's no better time to start thinking ahead, and these would make the perfect gifts or stocking stuffers. <a href="https://www.beachrinse.com/" target="_blank">Beach Rinse</a> is also ocean friendly, all of their packaging is recyclable, and they also sell reusable glass containers with compostable refill bags!

Bodhi is almost 2.5 and still rarely sleeps through the night, and that's what lead me to discover this amazing shop! First off, I'm just gonna say that Ashley, the owner of <a href="https://beebalmandash.com/" target="_blank">Bee Balm and Ash</a>, is pretty much the sweetest and most down to earth person on earth. Not to mention how helpful she is! I came to her recently with an issue that I've been stumped on, and she suggested her <a href="https://beebalmandash.com/collections/fertility/products/fertility-hormone-balancing-healthy-menstrual-cycle-conception-roller-ball-essential-oil-blend" target="_blank">Fertility Roller</a>, I promptly ordered it and low and behold, the difference it's already making is amazing and insane! Definitely NOT trying to get pregnant (in case you were wondering that because of the name of the roller haha. I am very happy with our two and very done having more kids), BUT fertility equals hormonal health and hormonal health and fertility equal whole body health. I've been having issues with my cycles for a little over a year now so I'll update in another month or two after I've used it longer, I can for sure tell a difference already though! Anyways, back to my original story, sleep deprivation! When I found her shop, I was of course immediately drawn to the sleep products, both the <a href="https://beebalmandash.com/collections/child/products/sweet-dreams-child-sleep-aid-roller-ball-essential-oil-blend" target="_blank">Sweet Dreams Roller</a> and <a href="https://beebalmandash.com/collections/room-sprays/products/slumber-room-spray" target="_blank">Slumber Room Spray</a> in particular. We LOVE them both, the roller is perfect to swipe on him during our bedtime routine, and I love spraying the slumber room spray right before bed. The room spray is such a calming, light and lovely scent, it's something I look forward to every evening now because it smells so amazing and is such a calming scent to make counting sheep easy. Ashley also sent over this <a href="https://beebalmandash.com/collections/child/products/focus-child-focus-and-study-aid-roller-ball-essential-oil-blend" target="_blank">Focus Roller</a> that we are completely in love with! I roll it on Bella's wrists when it's time for her school every day and I can 100% tell you it works. She has always had a lot of difficulty concentrating on her work but whenever she uses this, she has so much more focus and get's her school done so much faster. She actually asks for it if I forget because she can tell a difference in herself with it. I may or may not have even used it myself a few times when I didn't feel like working out and needed a little more focusing myself.

Who else has been counting down the minutes until the weekend? We are planning on...well, to be honest, we don't exactly know yet, we're just gonna play it by ear haha but I do know we'll have lots of family time and all the fun! What are your weekend plans? Don't forget to check out all of our favorites below... which ones are your favorites?<br /><br /><a href="https://www.babylit.com/" target="_blank">BABYLIT BOOKS</a><br />Babylit books has been one of our go-to places for children's books since... well, a long time haha. I purchased our first Babylit book (Pride and Prejudice) as one of Bella's first birthday gifts if that tells you anything about how long ago it's been (she's going to be 8 later this year!). Their board books are perfect for little hands and they hold up amazingly well to all of the craziness that toddlers put books through (if you're a parent you definitely know what I'm talking about lol). Bodhi loves pulling all of our Babylit collection out and sitting on the floor by the bookshelf, looking over all of the pages in the books. He loves pointing things out in the books and they also make a pretty fun toy when you stack them up and then knock them over (he thinks anyway haha). Some of our recent favorite titles are <a href="https://www.babylit.com/little-naturalists/little-naturalists-ansel-adams-and-his-c.html" target="_blank">Little Naturalists Ansel Adams and His Camera</a>, <a href="https://www.babylit.com/new/little-naturalists-johnny-appleseed.html" target="_blank">Little Naturalists Johnny Appleseed</a> and <a href="https://www.babylit.com/books/swan-lake.html" target="_blank">Swan Lake</a>. They also sell books for older kiddos too! Bella absolutely loves this <a href="https://www.babylit.com/catalog/product/view/id/7425/s/the-llamacorn-is-kind/" target="_blank">The Llamacorn is Kind book</a> and the illustrations are the sweetest.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm still very particular about the jewelry I wear, I prefer dainty and natural looking pieces, and I love that <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/" target="_blank">Little Sycamore</a> checks all of those boxes (and more) for me! Their jewelry is made with raw crystals and stones, and made to wear on a daily basis, quality is very high up on my list of things I look for when buying jewelry, because I want it to last for years and years while still looking nice and Little Sycamore's pieces are some of the best I've come across. I am obsessed with their Elements Collection, and since I'm drawn to water, naturally the <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/collections/the-elements-collection/products/water-element-ring-rose-gold-gold-or-silver?_pos=2&_sid=e7a764cd6&_ss=r&variant=31207695745107" target="_blank">Water Element Ring</a> was my first choice. I chose rose gold (it also comes in silver and gold) and are made with 4 </span><span>rectangular crystals (</span><span>blue and green variations of Tourmaline)</span><span> lined up in a row. Each ring is completely unique and the crystals have subtle differences in height to represent the movement of water, with waves and ripples gliding across it. I absolutely love it. I'm already planning on wearing it for our next family beach photo session later this year. The next pieces I chose were the <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/collections/bands/products/stacking-ring-bands-1?variant=13631492849707" target="_blank">Wave Ring</a> (are we sensing a theme of water loving here? haha) and the <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/collections/bands/products/pebble-ring-rose-gold-gold-or-silver?variant=15462391742507" target="_blank">Smaller Pebble Ring</a>, these are both so beautiful, can be worn separately but I love stacking them and I wear them constantly, like every single day kind of constantly! I also decided to branch out and try something new, because why not right? I've never had an anklet before but decided it was time to change that when I spied the <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/products/pebble-anklet-rose-gold-gold-silver-1?_pos=1&_sid=be216e1b3&_ss=r&variant=32211612467283" target="_blank">Pebble Anklet</a> (that I also chose in rose gold just like all of the rings). It's so beautiful and dainty, and adds such a fun little unexpected statement to any outfit! They also sell <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/collections/necklaces/products/add-on-necklace-extender?_pos=1&_sid=8d0e1c779&_ss=r&variant=31595817336915" target="_blank">necklace extenders</a> (for only $5!) and I'd been needing some so I grabbed a couple of those. I'm pretty sure I'll never not be in love and obsessed with all of <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/" target="_blank">Little Sycamore</a>'s designs, they're just so natural and it's like wearing a bit of nature since so many of their designs are hand crafted from the earth or nature inspired. Already have my eye on some more beautiful pieces from <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/" target="_blank">Little Sycamore</a> because I truly LOVE their jewelry... like this <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/collections/bands/products/multi-color-rainbow-rose-gold-gold-or-silver?variant=39278570897491" target="_blank">Multi Rainbow Ring</a> (from their new Rainbow Collection), this <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/collections/bands/products/mountain-peak-bands-rose-gold-gold-or-silver?variant=31823002042451" target="_blank">Peak Ring</a>, this <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/collections/the-elements-collection/products/air-element-ring-rose-gold-gold-or-silver?_pos=1&_sid=15118c081&_ss=r&variant=31207719305299" target="_blank">Air Element Ring</a>, and of course this amazing <a href="https://littlesycamore.com/collections/rings/products/emerald-wrap-ring-rose-gold-gold-or-silver?_pos=1&_sid=88d3583e1&_ss=r&variant=32324060348499" target="_blank">New Beginnings Ring</a>.

Each doll is made from hand picked cotton, and Peruvian artisans who are paid fair trade wages and benefits hand knit each and every stitch that goes into making your doll. <a href="https://blablakids.com/" target="_blank">Blabla Kids</a> has actually been working with the same artisans for almost 20 years to sustainably create each doll they offer which I think is absolutely incredible in our fast paced world. Their sweet and simple designs are a child's dream, Bella absolutely adores her <a href="https://blablakids.com/collections/blankets-pillows/products/2690-pillow-rainbow-pink" target="_blank">Pink Rainbow Pillow</a> and her <a href="https://blablakids.com/collections/blankets-pillows/products/pillow-butterfly" target="_blank">Butterfly Pillow</a>, they sit on her bed after she makes it every day and are such a cute pop of color in her room.

They're made from stainless steel, vacuum insulated so your kiddos water can stay cold for hours on end, BPA/BPS/BPF free, super easy for small hands to open and close, and they are spill proof when open and leak proof when closed! The <a href="https://www.camelbak.com/recreation/bottles/kids/CB-2284.html?dwvar_CB-2284_color=Bare%20Steel" target="_blank">12 ounce size</a> is great for kids of all ages, ours are 7 and 2 and these work great for both of them! We chose the bare steel option, but if minimal isn't your jam, they come in a bunch of other cute options with colorful prints that your child will love! They're also dishwasher safe which all of us busy moms love, they are sweatproof and stay dry on the outside, and we love the handy carry handle!

They're actually based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and we cannot wait to hang out with them when we move down there, I actually met Allison (one of the owners) a couple years ago when we were on vacation in Myrtle and it was so cool to finally meet in person and put a face to the name! We have several of their pieces but this <a href="https://finfirstmb.com/products/long-live-long-haired-boys-toddler?_pos=6&_sid=ccbc66b7f&_ss=r&variant=32087100492" target="_blank">"Long Live Long Haired Boys" raglan tee</a> is probably one of my most favorite, I mean, since we have a long haired boy, how could I not love this one?

Life is busier than ever and I don't find time to show up here as often as I'd like (working on that), buuuuut I wanted to pop on and share some recent favorites! But first, what we've been up to recently! We are one day closer to our move (not sure when it is yet but sometime in the next 6 months) to South Carolina and we are counting down the days with crazy excitement, I joined Beachbody and it has changed my life! I'm not saying that lightly, I'll probably share a full post on that soon, but just gonna say, if you're tired of feeling tired all the time and are ready for a change, Beachbody might be for you too! If you need an in or want more info, I got you girl! (Just send me an email or message me on Instagram and I'd love to share more). We've been staying outside as much as we can now that the weather has gotten warmer (today is rainy and cold but it's been so nice lately), skateboarding a tonnnn (finally nailed that rail grab after almost a year of skating and it was the best feeling! We've taken lots of trips to local parks which the kids love (the giant sandbox at one of the nearby parks is Bodhi's favorite), Bella has been drawing lots of awesome pictures (she drew the raddest photo of me on a skateboard on a half pipe for my birthday gift). Oh yeah, I turned 27 last week, still not sure if I feel older or the same, but I'm grateful for another rotation around the sun with the people I love. Easter was fun, I shared the kiddos Easter baskets in my Instagram stories and if you didn't catch it, I decided to go with an ocean theme and I am still so happy with how they turned out. Anyways, enough of that, who's ready for some favorites?!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/" target="_blank">CARLY JEAN LOS ANGELES CLOTHING</a></span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, so I'm literally so stoked about this brand, <a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/" target="_blank">Carly Jean Los Angeles</a> has been one of my favorite clothing boutiques for ages, so I may or may not have fan-girled out a little bit when they agreed to send a few pieces my way to add to my closet and to share about with you guys! I've been wearing the pieces for a couple months now and I can say that without a doubt that the quality is amazing and the pieces are also comfortable and so effortless to style. The <a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/products/logan-skinny-jeans-medium-wash?_pos=2&_sid=f511460cb&_ss=r&variant=33467078213720" target="_blank">Logan skinny jeans</a> they sent are favorite my go-to piece, I actually love wearing jeans and I wear them almost daily, these fit perfectly, run true to size and are so stylish. I usually throw them on with a solid colored tee, my checkered vans and a necklace. On chilly days I love pairing them with this stinking adorable <a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/products/california-dreamin-pullover-beige?_pos=1&_sid=cbd8fc3f9&_ss=r&variant=33444948082776" target="_blank">"California Dreaming" pullover</a> (also can be found <a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/products/california-dreamin-pullover-charcoal?_pos=2&_sid=cbd8fc3f9&_ss=r&variant=33444947558488" target="_blank">here in grey</a>) that I am absolutely obsessed with. I love that the sleeves aren't your average sweatshirt sleeves and these are fun and feminine, the neutral color is kinda right up my alley, plus it give me that California surf vibe and you know I'm here for it. Lastly they send this Ellie Floral Tiered Midi Dress that I LOVE (found <a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/products/ellie-tiered-midi-dress-mustard?_pos=1&_sid=6ba708c6c&_ss=r&variant=33477727748184" target="_blank">here in mustard</a> and <a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/products/ellie-tiered-midi-dress-taupe?_pos=2&_sid=6ba708c6c&_ss=r&variant=33510436274264" target="_blank">here in taupe</a>)! It's a completely different style than I've normally ever worn but hen I saw it on their website I fell in love. I wore this dress recently on a date day when my husband and I went to Phipps Conservatory and since I knew we were going to be doing a lot of walking I wore some white sneakers with it and they complemented each other so well. I plan on adding a few more <a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/" target="_blank">CJLA</a> pieces to my wardrobe this year since I'd like to create more of a capsule wardrobe and their pieces are such staples.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21fZU_NcPtqFaey8QCfBs7puJlzhV8iAZqyhas792AZdHEZ7mIXey-JKR7t0zUZzcMahcywm4rEaOzgWW0s72fJvfJm1hDb05QQeqyEtagf1lrfaYvMGfFN2ajveAeCGetu6bRJ50PcI/s2048/20210125_142559+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21fZU_NcPtqFaey8QCfBs7puJlzhV8iAZqyhas792AZdHEZ7mIXey-JKR7t0zUZzcMahcywm4rEaOzgWW0s72fJvfJm1hDb05QQeqyEtagf1lrfaYvMGfFN2ajveAeCGetu6bRJ50PcI/w640-h640/20210125_142559+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaenLlD8A8iEEZ0jqouO36GW6xV49c9qnXuvtCGBY9UX4S4Vz6J_wtB6JJFmFu9VauSyV9M2DTUFtJwjRIeaeV_OSST5dXMFIQNZqxDxrGNx2M0J5ydzYSjF1Bi9Lx-CWb27ZIKzR4vCk/s2048/DSC_0572+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaenLlD8A8iEEZ0jqouO36GW6xV49c9qnXuvtCGBY9UX4S4Vz6J_wtB6JJFmFu9VauSyV9M2DTUFtJwjRIeaeV_OSST5dXMFIQNZqxDxrGNx2M0J5ydzYSjF1Bi9Lx-CWb27ZIKzR4vCk/w640-h640/DSC_0572+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSjh5oPM3849y6QTSRUSpJAMKi9EpPJJkncrYAkmDhGrZs9P4f1x2m4YTUIa4rvUNbP_kHOngnlisL6_LYEhBb_OuoaEDttWYLrOF3sIQ1l6-OV7plH7TPIrlXlRU7-Oj-pJdxjntPhQI/s2048/DSC_0105+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSjh5oPM3849y6QTSRUSpJAMKi9EpPJJkncrYAkmDhGrZs9P4f1x2m4YTUIa4rvUNbP_kHOngnlisL6_LYEhBb_OuoaEDttWYLrOF3sIQ1l6-OV7plH7TPIrlXlRU7-Oj-pJdxjntPhQI/w640-h640/DSC_0105+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/736828305/mini-shaka-sculpture" target="_blank">MARK KOENIG "MINI SHAKA" SCLUPTURE</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes late night etsy browsing leads to finding the coolest things, that was what happened not too long ago.

I mean, if you're going to live the stoked life, why not let your home reflect that and be stoked too! I seriously cannot wait to decorate our new home when we move later this year (we have no idea yet when, but when we do, things will probably move pretty quickly) when we move to South Carolina. I plan to keep a beachy bungalow, modern surf shack vibe throughout our new home and this is gonna be the raddest addition to a bookshelf or my nightstand!

I mean, while they do play wit traditional play dough sometimes, I much prefer other brands who actually tell you more about themselves. I've had my eye on the coolest playdough ever from <a href="https://www.landofdough.com/" target="_blank">The Land of Dough</a> for awhile and I was able to include some in their Easter baskets this year. Their dough cups are really unique and completely safe for kiddos, not to mention they are eco friendly! The combination of all that really brought it all home for me. They're crafted from all natural ingredients, the colors are plant based (say whaaaaa!), all of the glitter is COMPOSTABLE (yasssss), they are scented with essential oils (and not artificial fragrance made up of a million toxic ingredients), they come in eco friendly packaging, come in the most fun designs AND they are hand crafted right here in the USA! If that all didn't get your attention (or maybe it did) you can read a little more about them here). This <a href="https://www.landofdough.com/products/mermaid-lagoon" target="_blank">mermaid lagoon</a> and <a href="https://www.landofdough.com/products/sand-sails" target="_blank">sand and sails</a> play dough are perfectly adorable and I love this rad <a href="https://www.landofdough.com/products/over-the-rainbow" target="_blank">over the rainbow dough cup</a>! I can't wait to use this <a href="https://www.landofdough.com/products/land-of-dough-learning-numbers-kit" target="_blank">learning numbers kit</a> to work with Bodhi for number learning (he knows some numbers and can count some but more learning can't hurt haha). They also come with the cutest little wooden scoops and I fully plan on swiping one for our laundry detergent when the kids aren't looking hahaha.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDaj9aPXLtsrmGcXEAiExU_eBm2oHCcI0SWR-xDJ0v1QaJbZzx19_7juG8XCk2pZuxm7SadWjZwb1gkAYqh2W8SOhjRkLhRMa69vlj8jpuDmN-EHz47CMwQ8SRjFjJCq-R-9zCxMyyOTw/s2048/DSC_0649+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDaj9aPXLtsrmGcXEAiExU_eBm2oHCcI0SWR-xDJ0v1QaJbZzx19_7juG8XCk2pZuxm7SadWjZwb1gkAYqh2W8SOhjRkLhRMa69vlj8jpuDmN-EHz47CMwQ8SRjFjJCq-R-9zCxMyyOTw/w640-h640/DSC_0649+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6rI_WA-GQjJGK_qNbaul8wrBub1C_otmkikkfu4Vzoj4q5kWeiuZr-3s2k379Xf1hJ_xQIvbUyIVvUen_tZ0d55d34x3JaytgUB2Iq4V2wYxHPax2pHqWv0JvEIrn2s79bvL0IMCg2ys/s2048/DSC_0656.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6rI_WA-GQjJGK_qNbaul8wrBub1C_otmkikkfu4Vzoj4q5kWeiuZr-3s2k379Xf1hJ_xQIvbUyIVvUen_tZ0d55d34x3JaytgUB2Iq4V2wYxHPax2pHqWv0JvEIrn2s79bvL0IMCg2ys/w640-h640/DSC_0656.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjmdLX7foIQWqQZe06a5wxAnH1fOdjvM1-_zVTgit_7l2ZCQvsv-ejNOYSawZ1STRdakg9aYLBYt9f3B9CEFAvj8iCIksKOm9_wHQyGbWL8AsyUisSPIDU5TeUERmep-_TOIUcXiQYAkU/s2048/DSC_0663.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2047" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjmdLX7foIQWqQZe06a5wxAnH1fOdjvM1-_zVTgit_7l2ZCQvsv-ejNOYSawZ1STRdakg9aYLBYt9f3B9CEFAvj8iCIksKOm9_wHQyGbWL8AsyUisSPIDU5TeUERmep-_TOIUcXiQYAkU/w640-h640/DSC_0663.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.merrell.com/US/en/home" target="_blank">MERRELL SHOES</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Who needs a good pair of shoes? I mean, besides me, like literally everyone haha. <a href="https://www.merrell.com/US/en/home" target="_blank">Merrell</a> is a brand we really love and they recently sent us some goodies to add to our shoe collection (not that I really have that much of a collection, I own like maybe 9 pairs of shoes lol). Their brand is outdoorsy and they carry a lot of sustainable, eco friendly styles so they fit right in with our lifestyle since we like to stay active. We love hiking on the weekends, I workout at home every day plus I love skateboarding in my free time, my husband has to walk a lot at work during the work week, so it's important we both have good shoes in our life. My current favorite pair of shoes are these <a href="https://www.merrell.com/US/en/mtl-skyfire-undyed/47400W.html" target="_blank">MTL Skyfire Undyed Shoes</a>, they are literally are a cloud like hug for your feet. I wear them every single day when I exercise and I love how supportive they are throughout my entire routine whether I'm doing cardio, Pilates, running, leg day... I haven't found any reason to dislike them, only more and more reasons to love them! They can even be dressed up to go with a pretty dress like I wore recently! These barefoot shoes (<a href="https://www.merrell.com/US/en/vapor-glove-5/48727W.html?dwvar_48727W_color=J135374&ref=vapor%20glove" target="_blank">women's vapor glove</a>) are another favorite of mine, I actually also have them in <a href="https://www.merrell.com/US/en/vapor-glove-5/48727W.html?dwvar_48727W_color=J135378&ref=vapor%20glove" target="_blank">aqua</a> and have worn them hiking all over and I love how i can feel the earth better with the thinner soles so I can keep better footing while climbing on steeper areas. I love <a href="https://www.merrell.com/US/en/vapor-glove-5/48727W.html?dwvar_48727W_color=J135374&ref=vapor%20glove" target="_blank">this grey color</a> and I discovered they're also pretty nice for skateboarding in addition to hiking, walking, running and everyday errands.

No seriously, we use them every single night. Every evening, when I flip the little switch on our <a href="https://yogasleep.com/collections/dohm-sound-machines/products/dohm?variant=39518239817923" target="_blank">dohm natural sound machines </a>and the soothing sound starts, it signals the beginning of our bedtime routine and sleep coming soon. It's the perfect way to gently ease our kiddos (and ourselves) into sleep mode, and the way it covers up noise from outside our home is amazing. Very rarely can we hear things like cars and neighbors and all the noises that can come from outdoors when we turn these on. Having that constant and calming sound helps us sleep so much better. It's still so funny to me how that my husband had one of these sound machines when we first got married and at first I was like "oh my goodness I hate this so much, do we have to sleep with this noise on?", which then quickly changed to "oh my goodness I can't sleep without this and where has this been my whole life" haha. It honestly is a game changer for good sleep.

I first was drawn to their minimal and aesthetic branding hen I saw it several years ago on Instagram, I loved their simple look but especially loved their minimal and natural ingredients in all of their products. I'm going on almost 2 years now of using their <a href="https://imp.i358707.net/NKkP5K" target="_blank">shampoo</a> and <a href="https://imp.i358707.net/yR2La2" target="_blank">conditioner</a> and still absolutely loving it and the way it makes my hair feel. Not to mention, their products are seriously affordable! I'm always looking for good deals since we are a single income family and I have been blown away at not only the quality of their items but the prices. Want to know how much a bottle of their shampoo (which lasts forever btw) is? $4.50! That's all! I love that they keep future generations in mind as well since a lot of their packaging is environmentally friendly! I love buying this <a href="https://imp.i358707.net/MXmjPK" target="_blank">$11 shampoo bag</a> to refill my shampoo bottle, and their refillable <a href="https://imp.i358707.net/mg5bLX" target="_blank">real silk dental floss</a> is unmatched, nothing else works as good on my teeth! Their <a href="https://imp.i358707.net/7m5xEy" target="_blank">bamboo toothbrushes</a> are priced great ($4 for a set of 2) and brush awesomely. I also picked up this <a href="https://imp.i358707.net/Kej9rx" target="_blank">crystal deodorant spray</a> to give a try, loving it so far!

We've always taken the kids with us when we went before but we decided to go solo this time because for one we don't get to spend enough time together just us two (and it's so important to keep dating your spouse no matter how long you've been together or married), and two, we just wanted to be able to take our time and enjoy every detail of every plant, instead of chasing a toddler through the entire place haha.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a little different at Phipps right now than it normally always has been but it's still the most beautiful place ever to visit. Tickets must be purchased in advance (there are timed slots but once you come in you can spend as long as you'd like in the Conservatory). There is one pathway through instead of being able to go whichever way you want, and masks are required, but the all of the greenery was so worth it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs68dOorvG5eNj4P9RDZtnTnVQ2I5jOEWBgHtAiK8NHydczjWDH7O91kfZcJEGEju4OM3-18As6PUw9LJDJR9Nzewe70rUtLUybtwjXX-xPw59JcNjs9C0k3MjrG0ud70KZD0JjdLshdk/s2048/DSC_0127+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs68dOorvG5eNj4P9RDZtnTnVQ2I5jOEWBgHtAiK8NHydczjWDH7O91kfZcJEGEju4OM3-18As6PUw9LJDJR9Nzewe70rUtLUybtwjXX-xPw59JcNjs9C0k3MjrG0ud70KZD0JjdLshdk/w640-h426/DSC_0127+%25283%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Everything was so fragrant and beautiful, colorful and lush, you feel like you're in a jungle in parts of <a href="https://www.phipps.conservatory.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Phipps Conservatory</a>. Of all of the rooms, two rooms are tied for my top favorite, no matter how much I try to decide, the decision is impossible to pick one favorite between the two. Which rooms are those you're probably wondering? (or you possibly could care less hahaha). It's a solid toss up between the desert room with alllllllll of the most beautiful cactus and succulents and agave you can lay your eyes on, it's truly a wondrous room and filled with so much (a bit prickly) beauty.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmJmddFB_NxdfTGQ6n0suvyRO_yiKZC0k8e3RIDFfJzwLwdc0tVPq1NQt6wq8ObbKOUos1QTbpnWAR5SqVxBex_181Nd6NO1i_XBzANfcOsYXucvn3INygLj2ccn7h6OGHk6Ms2qOM50o/s2048/DSC_0196.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmJmddFB_NxdfTGQ6n0suvyRO_yiKZC0k8e3RIDFfJzwLwdc0tVPq1NQt6wq8ObbKOUos1QTbpnWAR5SqVxBex_181Nd6NO1i_XBzANfcOsYXucvn3INygLj2ccn7h6OGHk6Ms2qOM50o/w640-h426/DSC_0196.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;">My second favorite room is the fruit and spice tree room, I mean, wow, if you have never been in this room, you are seriously missing out. It smells what I imagine heaven might smell like, all of the citrus blooms fill the air with the most daintily sweet and amazing smell. Not to mention some super rad banana and mango trees among the many trees. I always am a sucker for all of the citrus of all kinds because my husband and I sort of met because of oranges (yes, the fruit haha, it's a long story, maybe I'll share here someday, who knows).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My husband's favorite room is the serpentine room, all of the beautiful flower beds with every flower in it's proper place and sitting just so, it's such a beautiful room.</div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The Cuba room is always so fun, I love the waterfalls, the giant palm trees, the cute huts and of course learning about Cuba. The train room is great too, it's always been a favorite of the kid's so I made sure to take some videos and photos of that room for them to see when we got home. Really, you can't go wrong with any room at Phipps, every single one is amazing, they even have outdoor spaces during the summer!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2l9AcCnG4xzcu6T2J0r9rU6YeIsdOuGLKihqQi79gO6PVCGI9pD0VKg6NrF6cg0sNtfPY6rRNJqx6sE-n_4RNpVyCV6SbLB71NXpjhNVPn0DOsHKNA7etS9pnnLhi4UEiDd3tT6t7Les/s2048/DSC_0115+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2l9AcCnG4xzcu6T2J0r9rU6YeIsdOuGLKihqQi79gO6PVCGI9pD0VKg6NrF6cg0sNtfPY6rRNJqx6sE-n_4RNpVyCV6SbLB71NXpjhNVPn0DOsHKNA7etS9pnnLhi4UEiDd3tT6t7Les/w640-h426/DSC_0115+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSFGcPGv4xffERsTD7XuUIs7LZiHE7PycC8PkIigf5z1pNnx4-kN9BJiCOxU6i4ENd-2WP1T7xWSDUE7IgNli9bK2BXJgHj0KSs0qwmDj3oN36PdVkyeLA-Q42q5xyMyuZB_XrCRaocbI/s2048/DSC_0093.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSFGcPGv4xffERsTD7XuUIs7LZiHE7PycC8PkIigf5z1pNnx4-kN9BJiCOxU6i4ENd-2WP1T7xWSDUE7IgNli9bK2BXJgHj0KSs0qwmDj3oN36PdVkyeLA-Q42q5xyMyuZB_XrCRaocbI/w640-h426/DSC_0093.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Before we left, we made sure to stop in at the gift shop because they always have the cutest things in there and I love how many eco friendly products they have in there that you can buy to switch out items in your home to make your home more sustainable! If you are hungry, make sure to grab a quick bite to eat at their café, not only is it cute, their food is also amazing (we've eaten there a couple times before) and there are so many healthy options! Lots of vegan, vegetarian, gluten and dairy free options if you are on a plant based or limited diet, truly something for everyone!</div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;">We already can't wait to go back again!

The children's gift guide is always the one I look most forward to, probably because I love seeing Bella and Bodhi's faces light up on Christmas morning, hearing their squeals of delight and the happiness in their voices as they open each gift. I can still remember that feeling of being a kid and opening up gifts on Christmas morning to find exactly what I wanted, I love being able to do the same thing for my own kiddos. It's honestly one of the things I look most forward to as Christmas approaches, their excitement for the season and their anticipation for Christmas morning. Every single one of the items in this gift guide were hand picked with intention and care, gifts I know any child would love (because I know my little ones are going to love them) and would be excited to find under their tree. High quality finds, non-toxic items, eco friendly products, unique gifts, cozy gifts and fun gifts fill the blog post below and you'll also find lots of discount codes, because I know how important it is to save even a few dollars here and there when you have little ones you're raising, plus you'll be supporting lots of real people just like you and me when you purchase from these brands! What was the most memorable gift you received as a child? What did your kiddo(s) ask for this year?</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJBbiB4UJRCIblW7GEtbxta6n2Jek6194RygcWuy4jdz_cH2wa56K3cdb6nJujnUGFRu4Mnc5NNJ8MO39Ixy-R122_zQ8zY4TCgB6ooBxnDn8pJIUefhDBZAkPbRBjUk5SiyBct-96mhw/s2048/DSC_0647+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1513" data-original-width="2048" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJBbiB4UJRCIblW7GEtbxta6n2Jek6194RygcWuy4jdz_cH2wa56K3cdb6nJujnUGFRu4Mnc5NNJ8MO39Ixy-R122_zQ8zY4TCgB6ooBxnDn8pJIUefhDBZAkPbRBjUk5SiyBct-96mhw/w640-h470/DSC_0647+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></span></span></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://shopplainjane.com/" target="_blank">SHOP PLAIN JANE</a> <b style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;">|</b> <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/collections/all" target="_blank">PAJAMAS</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gifting new pajamas to our littles (along with a holiday book) on Christmas Eve became a new tradition in our home a few years ago, and it's one of my favorites. Bella gets so excited to see what new pajamas she'll get every year, and I get so excited for her excitement. This year the kids will be getting new soft as butter modal cotton pajamas from <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/" target="_blank">Shop Plain Jane</a>. We love, love, love their pajamas, and we love that they are an American made and owned business, each item sewn in California. Bella will be so excited for <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/collections/gowns/products/ribbed-flutter-sleeve-in-glazed-ginger" target="_blank">this flutter sleeve night gown</a> since she loves night gowns, and <a href="https://shopplainjane.com/collections/all/products/pj-set-in-morning-blue" target="_blank">this pajama set</a> will be perfect for Bodhi!

Their toys are so high quality and worth every single penny, they'll enjoy hours of play with their toys.

Ryan and Wren has been our go-to place for hair clips for several years and we love that they offer so many styles for so many occasions. You pretty much never see Bella without a <a href="https://ryanandwren.com/" target="_blank">Ryan and Wren</a> clip in her hair these days, she loves picking out a new clip each day after brushing her hair, and I love that she can express her style and mood that day with her hair accessories. Another reason she loves them so much is because they're flat and can actually fit comfortably underneath her skateboarding helmet! They're perfect for stocking stuffers and I can't wait to give her these in her stocking on Christmas morning. They also make great gifts for friends, we got an extra one (<a href="https://ryanandwren.com/products/snap-clip-saltwater-taffy-glitter?_pos=1&_sid=03bf65e68&_ss=r" target="_blank">this one</a>) to send to Bella's best friend that lives several states away and it'll be so fun to see them matching when they can see each other again!

I love the simple terrazzo design on the deck, it's the perfect amount of style, feminine and minimal. She actually picked the design out one day when we were looking at skateboards together, though she had no idea that we would actually get it or that we were even looking at it for her (she thought I was looking at them for myself haha, and I asked her which design she liked best). <a href="https://retrospec.com/products/retrospec-alameda-skateboard-complete?variant=32624304750689" target="_blank">The Alameda Complete Skateboard</a> comes ready to ride, is constructed with a 7 ply Canadian Maple deck, and perfect for beginner and experienced skaters alike.

Both Bella and Bodhi love playing in the sand, especially Bodhi, and he loves beach toys. Naturally I gravitate towards sustainable made and eco friendly toys since beach toys are so easily lost. We've thankfully not lost that many since we try to keep a tight reign on them and keep them a bit further from the water, but sometimes a rogue wave will come out of nowhere or I lose track for a minute or two and I'm like where are the toys! Usually we end up finding them, but I love being able to know that even if we do lose them that they are made with the earth and environment in mind. I've had my eye on <a href="https://lovelotte.com/products/eco-beach-toy-set" target="_blank">this Eco Beach Toy set</a> from <a href="https://lovelotte.com/" target="_blank">Love Lotte</a> for awhile and I'll be so stoked for the kids to play with them next summer at the beach. They're completely biodegradable (which makes my heart happpppyyyyy) and are such a great alternative to the flimsy plastic options you'll find in most stores and washed up on beaches. The muted tones of this set are really nice and the set comes with a bucket, scoop, trowel and rake, just perfect for building a sand castle with little (er, should I say, big) imaginations!

Recently I discovered the five-panel style hats and I kinda have all the heart eyes for them, especially the ones from over at <a href="https://radriverco.com/" target="_blank">Rad River Co.</a>. I mean, have you even seen just how CUTE their hats are? They're going to be perfect for every day wear and for keeping the sun off the kiddos faces. So many perfect colors, sizes for everyone in the family (from infant to child to adult) and they'll be perfect stocking stuffers. I chose the <a href="https://radriverco.com/products/cotton-five-panel-hat-in-blush?variant=34610081562779" target="_blank">cotton five-panel hat in blush for Bella in size 2</a>, recommended age range for the size 2 is 3 to 5 years but it fits her perfectly (I made her close her eyes so I could try it on her hahaha), the color is the loveliest shade of pink! For Bodhi I went with <a href="https://radriverco.com/products/test-1?variant=34566010994843" target="_blank">the waterproof (made of nylon) five-panel hat in clay (in size 2</a>, which is recommended for ages 9 to 36 months), his hats are prone to taking dips in the water on occasion (mostly because he's a risk taker around water and has no fear of giant waves haha) so this one will suit him well, not to mention the color is absolutely the best ever.

You could say we're a little obsessed with muslin fabric, I love how natural is feels, how breathable it is, and how it ALWAYS keeps you the perfect temperature no matter what the weather is, not to mention that it just gets softer with each wash. I can't even remember how many quilts we own from Clementine Kids at this point, but let's just say that there are enough to go around for all of us, even when we have family or friends over haha, we love them that much. We love all of the fun and designs and I especially love that the prints and colors are bright but not so annoyingly bright that they don't fit in with our regular home style, they're just the perfect amount of fun and classy. I can't wait to give <a href="https://clementinekids.com/collections/reversible-quilts/products/magnolia-quilt" target="_blank">this beautiful Magnolia quilt</a> to Bella, I love magnolia flowers so much, they remind me of my Dad (who always loved magnolia trees) and also remind me of South Carolina (one of our favorite places, and our future home state) so this will be a special gift for her that she can snuggle up under while reading, movie night and playing with dolls. For Bodhi I chose <a href="https://clementinekids.com/collections/reversible-quilts/products/national-parks-quilt" target="_blank">this amazing National Parks quilt</a>. It will be perfect for him because we are 100% outdoors people... well, we didn't used to be, but Bodhi had such a pure love of the outdoors as soon as he was born that his love of nature rubbed off onto us and now we're a nature loving family! He's going to love looking at all of the National Park scenes on it during snuggle time and on cold days!

I mean, when you find something that's good, why fix what ain't broke am I right? They recently launched either holiday collection, the <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/products/tubby-advent" target="_blank">Tubby Advent Gift Set</a>, and let me tell you, it is absolute perfection and smells just like the holiday season should. The collection includes <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/products/tubby-advent-pomegranate-creme-hair-body-wash" target="_blank">Pomegranate Crème Hair and Body Wash</a>, <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/products/tubby-advent-gingerbread-bubble-bath" target="_blank">Gingerbread Bubble Bath</a> and <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/products/tubby-advent-winter-mint-everyday-lotion" target="_blank">Winter Mint Everyday Lotion</a> (each coming in at 8.5 oz.), and there are actually three different options for purchasing the collection, just the 3 body care items, or the 3 body care items + a Kid Made Modern Advent Calendar, or the 3 body care items + bath bombs (which is what we were gifted by Tubby Todd). Bella is going to be so thrilled to try bath bombs! I love that I don't have to worry about any of the ingredients in any of their products and that they use more natural ingredients that are good for sensitive skin. Another reason to support <a href="https://tubbytodd.com/" target="_blank">Tubby Todd</a> is because they are a US made brand!

I've been eyeing up balance bikes all summer, trying to decide which one is best, but <a href="https://retrospec.com/" target="_blank">Retrospec</a> (one of our all time favorite brands) made it an easy choice for us since they just released their <a href="https://retrospec.com/products/baby-beaumont-balance-bike-2-3yrs?variant=37527336321196" target="_blank">Baby Beaumont Balance Bike</a>! It's geared towards ages 2 to 3, comes in the prettiest colors (there are 5 different color options, we chose the "<a href="https://retrospec.com/products/baby-beaumont-balance-bike-2-3yrs?variant=37527336321196" target="_blank">eggshell</a>" color), it has the most adorable little woven basket on the front (will be perfect for holding his teddy bear while he rides) and don't even get me started on the minimalist design of this bike... I mean, I literally need one for myself! The no-pedal design encourages balance building, improves coordination and makes for an easier transition from little to big kid bike in the future when they're ready, and the handlebars and seat are both adjustable to grow with your child! without pedals, you child can safely learn to control their own speed which reduces the chance that they'll end up going faster than they feel comfortable with! The step through frame is easy to scale for little legs and the durable design sits low to the ground keeping your little one from taking spills from too high up. I mean, can you tell I'm just a liiiiitle bit stoked for this bike? He's going to literally lose his mind when he opens it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-84ha4ZOcTvri3Tt90EF0q6q0mnwWw46Yw7n_nR0h03ozwuzZz4nZ7JSc_cTWGUOe1WX8ISV0D283SWwC1mPIiktMf9X1rcfCmh_RjBfMqDNi2wo4ZONhiFAmWnx6medQZE6XfeINpc4/s2048/DSC_0567.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-84ha4ZOcTvri3Tt90EF0q6q0mnwWw46Yw7n_nR0h03ozwuzZz4nZ7JSc_cTWGUOe1WX8ISV0D283SWwC1mPIiktMf9X1rcfCmh_RjBfMqDNi2wo4ZONhiFAmWnx6medQZE6XfeINpc4/w640-h426/DSC_0567.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://kindcultureco.com/" target="_blank">KIND CULTURE CO.</a> <b style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;">|</b> <a href="https://kindcultureco.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-shine-doll-ii" target="_blank">MERMAID</a> AND <a href="https://kindcultureco.com/collections/good-deed-fairies/products/belle" target="_blank">FAIRY</a> <a href="https://kindcultureco.com/collections/all-products" target="_blank">DOLLS</a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;"><span><span>Bella loves dolls, especially mermaids and fairies, and I love anything that promotes kindness. <a href="https://kindcultureco.com/" target="_blank">Kind Culture Co.</a> is such a wonderful company, we've loved them since they launched a few years ago and it's so awesome to see how far they've come in such a short time. Their dolls are absolutely stunning, so beautiful (and bespoke looking), the perfect size for cuddling too! They have multiple skin and hair colors to choose from, all so pretty! I chose <a href="https://kindcultureco.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-shine-doll-ii" target="_blank">The Shine Doll ll</a> from the <a href="https://kindcultureco.com/collections/frontpage" target="_blank">Kindness Doll Collection</a>, she is a pastel colored mermaid with multicolored hair and so sweet!

I am so excited for these dolls, I couldn't love this company and their mission any more if I tried and a portion of their proceeds from each purchase even goes to childhood education!

Being naturally minded like I am though, I'm always looking for alternatives to mainstream products, and ZDough is a long time favorite in our home. ZDough is created from non-toxic food grade ingredients like flour, water, salt, vegetable oil, cream of tartar and food coloring, and essential oils for scent! No chemicals so no worries! The addition of the essential oils in their playdough is the perfect sensory experience for kids (or adults) and every scent we've ever played with always has had the most amazing smell! <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ZDough" target="_blank">ZDough</a> recently released their newest scent, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/887587127/candy-cane-swirl-play-dough?ref=shop_home_active_5&frs=1&crt=1" target="_blank">Candy Cane Swirl</a>, just in time for the holiday season, it's so pretty, covered in sparkles (you can choose a non glitter option if sparkles aren't you thing though) and smells just like a peppermint candy cane! It also comes in an awesome glass jar that can be reused again and again with their play dough refill pouches (so you can choose a new scent every time)!

What girl doesn't love nail polish? A couple of months ago she was begging for me to let her paint her nails, but I was hesitant to let her use anything that had lots of toxin chemicals in it and that had strong fumes, but I started searching google and came across a brand called <a href="https://www.piggypaint.com/" target="_blank">Piggy Paint!</a> I actually remember hearing about them a few years ago but had forgotten about them but I was living everything I was reading when I found them again. I ordered a bottle, had it shipped to us and she LOVED IT! That may even be putting it lightly haha. She takes her time and does such a great job on her nails, and I love that I don't have to worry about what toxins might be leaching into her skin and what fumes are entering her airways, because Piggy Paint is non-toxic! They have minimal ingredients, are virtually odorless, are water based, Free of ALL harsh chemicals, are cruelty free and vegan, come in so many fun and vibrant colors and dry super fast!
