And the award goes to YOU, dear friend!  For being so wonderful and awesome and because YOU SURVIVED THE LAST TWO YEARS!  It’s been rough, but we made it.  Let’s all breathe a collective sigh of relief.  Phew, I feel better!

And it’s Friday!  Do you have any fun plans this weekend?  I’m going to be doing some things around the house and just laying low.

If you’re catching up on blog posts, I shared 30 things I used every.single day in 2021, the top 21 posts of the year, the best sales, and our home decor updates.

On this week’s Amazon Live, I walked you through my pantry and how I keep it neat and organized.  Our Tuesday Goodies was a fun one too!

1This belt was your #1 favorite thing of the year! Or actually, a ‘set of belts’ because you got four different styles with your order. They’re stretchy, versatile, and easy to wear. $22 for 4

2 • This Lace Sleeve Top was a close runner up. It comes in several color options and fits TTS. Under $20

3 •  I was a little surprised to see two swim coverups in the Top 5! I wore both of them a ton last summer.

4 • I loved this Knit Swim Coverup in the beige color, but they have several colors to choose from. It fits like a dress, so is perfect for lunching on the beach or at the pool.

5 • I have this Packable Puffer Vest in several colors and consider it a MUST HAVE. It’s great for travel and comes with its own packable pouch that fits easily into your tote.

6 • This Quilted Crossbody Bag is a STEAL and looks high end.  I like it so much I got it in both the ‘beige medium’ and black.

7 • The Sun Hat that never goes out of style. This one has made the top sellers list every year!  It’s stylish, packable and nearly indestructible!

8 • This Crossbody Bag looks like Madewell with the braided and grommet detail.

9 • I’m surprised these High Waist Joggers made the list. They’re buttery soft and super comfy.

10 • The only No Show Socks I wear anymore and I was bummed when they sold out.  But good news, they’re back! Only $15 for a pack of 6!

11 • These Stretch Bracelets look great from day to night and come in a set of 7 for only $8.

1 • I adore the font on these script labels and used them in my pantry.  They come with so many words, so pretty much everything can be labeled!

2 • During our Winter Storm 2021, Brian brought these Battery Operated Light Switches over and they were a lifesaver!  You just flip the switch to turn them off and they’re super bright!

3 • I’ve had these Faux Tulips for years and they are the BEST, most realistic looking and feeling.

4 • Y’all were crazy for the Electric Lighter and it’s sleek design.  It’s electric, so no flame, and also rechargable.

5 • Oh man, is this Microwave Plate Cover useful!  Imagine never having those gross splatters all over your microwave and having to wipe it off after every use.  Even if you put a paper towel over your plate, it gets all soggy and icky.  This plate fits conveniently over your plate and contains all the splatters!  Then, you can simply sponge it clean or throw it in the dishwasher.  I’ve had mine for years and it’s still going strong!  Over 18,892 positive reviews.

6 • I’ve been asking how I lived without this Pot Organizing Rack for so long. I love how it makes grabbing a pot so easy and also keeps them from getting scratched.

7 • These Softest Sheet Set might be my most requested link to date! Everyone raves about these sheets, they’re super soft and inexpensive! 273,992 | 4.5 star reviews

8Cork Pop Wine Opener was my favorite thing of 202o! See my girlfriends’ FAVE THINGS of 2020 here.  Brian and I use this every week!

9 • These genius Rug Grippers help keep your rugs from moving around and they’re easy to peel off without harming your floors.

10 • I use the Undergarments Organizer to keep the intimates organized and easy to find.  I also have them in James’ drawers.  46,617 | 4.5 star reviews

2 • The Puff Sleeve Top is versatile for work to weekend and fits TTS. On sale!

3 • The Fleece Tunic Sweatshirt was top of the list at Target.

4 • These Sandals are on a crazy good sale. They were $99, now $44!

5Ali-Shaun was CRAZY for these ON Sneakers They are light as air and she loved them so much that she bought a pair for her husband! They’re all over my gym and when I researched the technology behind them and read about the construction, I realized they’re not just cute, but designed for runners.  I ended up getting them for me and Brian too!

6 • These sassy Espadrilles are on sale for $59, was $99.

7 • These Ankle Booties from Target are still in heavy rotation.  They have a comfortable lower heel and are a steal at just $29!

8 • These  NYDJ Jeans are different from your traditional skinny jean with a more forgiving cut that makes you feel uber comfortable and never self conscious in them. They have the cutest crop length, which makes it easy to show a little ankle.  The ankle part of these jeans has a flirty slit with rivit detail.  And, bonus, they have a comfortable high rise.  They’re made with “lift-tuck technology to flatten the tummy and lift the rear.”  I mean, if I didn’t love them already, this put it over the top! 40% off

9 • We are all crazy for these ultra flattering Mother Jeans. They fit TTS, but if you’re in between sizes, go up one.

10 • If you haven’t tried the Stars Above brand at Target, give it a look.  These joggers are crazy soft and comfortable and under $20!

1Makeup Brush Set Brushes make all the difference when applying makeup.  This pretty rose gold makeup brush set includes 5 big kabuki brushes and 9 precise eye brushes.  88,052 | 4.5 star reviews

2 • These handy No Bend Hair Clips keep your hair out of your face while applying makeup, but also tame your hair without any leaving and crease or bend in your hair!  You can also use them to train your bangs by clipping them to where you want your hair to lay.  I love them for taming my cowlicks especially.  After I’ve done my hair, I place on each of my cowlicks to help make them lay flat.  Best $6 I’ve ever spent!

3 • Comparable to the Silk Hair Scrunchies at Anthropologie, these keep my hair up while I’m working out, or just around the house.  They don’t pull or break my hair and they’re the perfect size.  I also love the colors!

4 • I use this Cuticle Oil religiously and it helps prevent hangnails and keeps my cuticles moisturized.  It absorbs fast and doesn’t leave my hands all oily.   96,000 | 4.5 star reviews

5 • I use a Vitamin C Serum every.single.morning and my skin looks brighter and more youthful.  I use this one, but the TruSkin Vitamin C with Vitamin E and hyaluronic acid has over 92,000 positive reviews.  It boosts brightness, fades dark spots, softens fine lines and wrinkles and all skin types can benefit from it.

6 • Y’all have heard me raving about this St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse since the day I got it.  I’m just so impressed with the color and how easily it goes on.  The mouse makes it so easy to apply and there’s no messy spray.  You can also rinse off after 1-3 hours, depending on how dark you want your color to develop.  It smells nice too! Use this mitt to apply it so you don’t stain your palms!  I just applied it yesterday to liven up my winter skin!

7 • A ride or die item for me for years!  I spray Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray into my hair after I’ve curled it and it creates a sexy, voluminous texture.  My hair is never “done” until I spray this into it!

8 • The Cheirosa Hair & Body Mist is deliciously scented with notes of caramelized vanilla and toasted macadamia nut.  Some people say they love it for Fall, but I think it’s perfect for this time of year and goes great with warm weather, sunshine and sandy beaches!  You can spritz it from head to toe and even onto your clothing or bed linens.  The word Cheirosa means “to smell incredibly delicious” and it does!

9 •  I had all these broken hairs around my face that wouldn’t grow and kept breaking, until I started using Olaplex No. 3 Repair Treatment.  You can tell a difference in the texture and softness of your hair as soon as you use it!  It’s the only brand that specifically designed to strengthen your hair from the inside out.

10 • This Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is divine, goes on like butter and smells heavenly.

11Lisbon Wants Moor Nail Polish is my go to nail color for year round. It’s a pale shade of pink that is the perfect natural color for your nails.  In fact, I’m wearing it right now!

12 • If you’re looking for a quality morning and night lotion, this is a great set – CeraVe AM & PM Lotion.  It’s dermatologist recommended too!
