Here are a few things I can’t live without this summer:
Thistle Farms Geranium Spray – Stave off skeeters naturally. My blog friend Tori at Baby Bloomr (who is absolutely hilarious ya’ll) gave me a bottle and it is the goods. A little bit about Thistle Farms from their website: Thistle Farms is a non-profit business run by women who have survived lives of violence, prostitution, and abuse. Thistle Farms products are hand-made by the very women they benefit. All proceeds go back into Thistle Farms and the residential program, Magdalene, where the women live in community for 2 years.
Planet Jill silver circle photo charm as reviewed here. I wear this necklace nearly every day.
Lee Jeans Slender Secret 5 Pocket Jeans – They will make you look thinner, which you’ll need once you get completely addicted to item number four. I wear these nearly every day that it’s not 100 degrees fahrenheit. ( Note I am a Lee Jeans Fit Ambassador so a few times a year they send me nifty new products to wear.)
Coconut M&Ms – Slap your mama good. Hide from your children good. Buy for your husband to score points good.
Big House White Wine – Normally I’m not a fan of white wine, but I really like this. Now as far as reds, I’ve never met a red wine I didn’t like.
Swarovski Crystal Earrings – I have a pair of hoop earrings I bought last year at the Biltmore Estate gift shop with birthday money from my mother-in-law and I love them. I wear them nearly every day.
Oikos organic greek yogurt with honey – Oh MY! I love this stuff.
Victoria’s Secret Miracle Bra wireless push up tankini top – I wear it every time we hit the pool.
Smartshield eco-friendly self tanner with SPF 15 - As reviewed here, this is the best smelling self tanner I’ve ever purchased.
What are some things you are loving this summer?
I love your blog. I do SEO for a living and I noticed a that you are the number 2 ranking for mom blog! To that I say congrats! Not sure if you did that on purpose but I seriously love your blog!
Really, the geranium spray works? I love the smell of scented geranium and mosquitoes love me!
Love those coconut M&M’s!!
Thistle Farms products are just wonderful, as are the stories that come from the ladies who have completed their program. I’ll have to check out the spray!
The geranium spray really works! Plus it helps out a great organization so you can feel good while irritating the heck out of mosquitos.
Jamie – many thanks for mentioning our Geranium Spray….(and we are serious Tori fans at Thistle Farms)....greatly appreciated!
