Stanley Quencher vs. Simple Modern Tumbler

If you’ve scrolled IG in the past year or so, you’ve no doubt seen the famous Stanley Quencher. You truly cannot miss it. And there’s a reason for that — it’s good. Like, in terms of tumblers, it’s one of the best I’ve ever used (and that includes the gigantic ones they give you at the hospital after you have a baby). But then out of nowhere, the Simple Modern…

August Amazon Best Sellers

It’s time to share the August Amazon best sellers! There are some really great items in this month’s lineup. If self-care is your thing, you need these Mighty Patch pore strips. They remind me of the strips we used to use in high school — except they’re so much better. I also can’t recommend this pomade stick enough if you’re going for a slick-back pony. Pair it with this frizz and…

August Best Sellers

How are we already in September? I’m actually in disbelief. I swear it was just February. But here we are, it’s time to share the August best sellers. This month had some truly classic pieces like these ultra high rise ankle jeans and this crewneck t-shirt from lulu. I could totally see these paired together with this oversized knitted coat in the fall or winter. I’ve also been on a…

3 Reasons Why You Need the Tineco Wet-Dry Vacuum

If there’s one cleaning task I do on the reg, it’s vacuuming/mopping. I vacuum at least every day if not multiple times a day, and I try to mop at least once a week, but that whole process used to take me way too much time. So, when someone shared the Tineco Floor ONE S3 wet dry vacuum cleaner on IG, I was intrigued. If I’m being honest, I assumed…

St. Barths Mini Tote Review

One of the most popular bags the past year has been the St. Barth’s tote. You really can’t scroll through Instagram without seeing someone wearing it. And I have to admit, I’ve fully jumped on the train too. My first St. Barth’s purchase was the large tote. It was pretty much my go-to bag for most of last year. It’s great because it will carry basically anything you need to…

July Amazon Best Sellers

Another month, another round of Amazon best sellers to show you! With Amazon Prime Day, there were a lot of items from Amazon that you fell in love with this past month. One of the best sellers from the event was the Tineco Wet Dry Vacuum. See the vacuum in action in this IG post. It’s truly disgusting to see how filthy the water is when you empty it out. I…

July Best Sellers

In case you couldn’t tell by last month’s best sellers, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was a huge hit. There are still a lot of items available, so be sure to check out what I just ordered. I was actually shocked at how many of you purchased these crop step hem jeans. They’re sadly sold out, but I’m hoping they get restocked soon. I’ll be sure to share if they do –…

Hermès Oran Sandals Vs. Gucci GG Cut-Out Leather Slides

Maybe one of my most requested product reviews is for the Hermès Oran Sandal… more specifically how they compare to the Gucci cut-out slides. The Hermès sandals are classic and have actually been around since 1997, but they’ve gained a ton of popularity in the last several years. In fact, because they’re so popular, tons of brands have created dupes of these sandals — many of which look nearly identical. I own…

[Updated] 2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

I hope y’all are loving the 2023 NSale. I’ve found some really cute things this year! A lot of what I initially shared on the blog has sold out since Public Access started, so I’ve updated the graphics and links to only include items that are still available. This year, I ordered a ton of pieces that I can’t wait to style for fall like this ribbed cardigan and these Veronica…

Where I Shop for My Kids’ Clothing

Butterfly Print Knit Zipper Pajamas Any time I post photos of my kiddos on IG, I get tons of DMs asking where I like to shop for them. I figured a blog post was the best spot to round up some of my favorite shops. I wrote a post about our favorite pajamas recently too that might be helpful. So, without further adieu, the sites I shop most frequently for…

Eleftheria Sandal Review

My go-to sandal of the summer has to be the Eleftheria Sandal by Ancient Greek Sandals. I was looking for a strappy sandal about a month ago and actually tried two different pairs before I decided on the Eleftherias. These sandals are so beautifully crafted. They’re also comfortable and super durable since they’re handmade in Greece using traditional techniques. Every time I share these on IG, I get tons of questions…

Our Favorite Pajamas for the Kiddos

Picking out cute pajamas for my kiddos has quickly become one of my favorite things about parenting. And based on how quickly my kids are growing (time, slow down!), I find myself buying new pajamas more often than I ever thought I would. I spent a lot of time finding my go-to spots for pajama shopping when Four was a baby, but by now, I usually just check my favorite…

May Amazon Best Sellers

There is some really great stuff on the Amazon best sellers list from last month. After I shared a look at how I organize our family calendar, a lot of you stocked up on these chalk markers. They’re great for writing on mirrors, for crafts, writing in books, etc. And I love that they’ve got a super fine point. Y’all also loved this toy leaf blower that I recently bought…

May Best Sellers

If you can’t tell by the warm weather, summer is officially here. I guess *technically* it doesn’t start until June 21st, but anything after Memorial Day Weekend is considered summer in my books. In Texas, it starts getting hot by May, so it definitely feels like summer outside. Last month’s best sellers were also a good reminder that summer is here. Y’all loved alllll the fun summery tops and shorts.…

Dagne Dover Vida Tote Review

I love a roomy tote. I ordered this popular L.L.Bean tote not too long ago after seeing so many people post about it. But I’ve found that with all the things I tend to carry when I’m out and about, I needed something with some compartmentalization. Meet the Dagne Dover Vida Tote. I needed something that was durable, would fit tons of daily essentials, and still looked cute. This bag checks all…

New Balance Sneakers Review

New Balance Sneakers Review I’m a big fan of sneakers. If you’ve followed me for any time, you probably know this. Becoming a mom turned me into an even bigger fan because they’re so comfortable to wear when you’re chasing kiddos around. On a recent shopping trip with my mom, I found a few pairs of New Balance sneakers that I had to leave the store with. I’m glad I…

April Amazon Best Sellers

If it wasn’t clear that summer is on the way, last month’s Amazon best sellers are proof! There were two swimsuits and a super cute sarong on the list. I’m wearing a small in this hot pink bikini. Several of the best sellers are repeat offenders — aka y’all have loved these items for a long time. This thermal round brush is always at the top of my best sellers list. So is…
