It’s been a little while since I shared a favorites post, and honestly — it feels good to get back into it. As we wrap up April and head into May, I wanted to highlight a few things that have been making my life better, easier, and just a little bit brighter lately.
Some are beauty staples, some are self-care lifesavers, and some are just too good not to share. Let’s get into it!
If you’re acne-prone like me, this stuff is magic in a bottle. I dab it onto my larger blemishes at night, and by morning, they’re noticeably smaller and less inflamed. It’s one of those “keep on hand at all times” products for me.
Takeaway: A good drying lotion can save your skin (and your sanity) during unexpected breakouts.
These are a game-changer for anyone who loves wearing backless dresses or tops. They’re perfect for days when you don’t want to wear a bra but still need a little coverage — and yes, they actually work for women with larger busts (blessing!).
Takeaway: Comfort and confidence are possible without a full bra situation.
My allergies have been terrible this spring, but this fine mist has been a lifesaver. I use it to rinse out my nose before applying my regular nasal spray, and it cuts down on itching and irritation dramatically.
Takeaway: Sometimes it’s the simple routines that make you feel human again during allergy season.
I’ve been loyal to these for almost two years now. Yes, they’re a little pricier than drugstore options — but the quality is undeniable. They give that salon look without the salon prices (or time).
Takeaway: A little investment in your press-ons = salon-quality nails at home.
I’m super picky about toners because I have sensitive, acne-prone skin. This one is a dream — it feels refreshing without the harsh smell that pure witch hazel usually has, and the light rosewater scent is such a bonus.
Takeaway: A gentle toner can make your skincare routine feel like self-care instead of just another chore.
This lotion is thick, rich, and perfect for dry, eczema-prone skin. Both my kids use it too, and it keeps everyone’s skin moisturized without being greasy.
Takeaway: Never underestimate the power of a good, hardworking lotion — especially if dry skin runs in your family.
I struggle with low iron, and there were days I could barely keep my eyes open even after coffee. Since starting these iron capsules, my energy levels have been so much better. I don’t feel like I need a daily nap just to survive anymore.
Takeaway: Take care of your inside health — it makes a world of difference on the outside too.
I’m absolutely hooked on this brand, but the rosemary water mist especially has been amazing for my locs. It leaves my hair feeling refreshed and helps maintain strength without buildup.
Takeaway: Consistency and hydration are key for healthy hair, especially with protective styles like locs.
I’ve been using Beetles polish for at least five years and honestly, I’m obsessed. I use it specifically on my toes, and it can last nearly a month without chipping. I love it so much that I own over 50 colors — and no regrets!
Takeaway: Sometimes investing in a small hobby (like DIY nails) pays off in lasting confidence.
Final Thoughts
That’s everything I’ve been loving as we transition from spring to summer. It feels good to get back into sharing little favorites with you — sometimes it’s these everyday essentials that quietly keep us going strong.
