Friday Favorites – Aug. 22, 2021

Another week of FAVORITES! So this week I am loving a few items and for random different reasons. I’m honestly at a point in my life where I’m loving the minimalist life style.. of course to a degree. So all of these items below are things that I’m absolutely loving and something I feel like I can’t live without!

ITEM#1: CASALUNA TOWELS

Okay.. so this is random but ever since I had my youngest son I have a texture issue when it comes to towels. I KNOW RANDOM RIGHT!!! The sound of towels as I’m folding them in half is like nails on a chalk board. It’s the weirdest thing but it seriously gives me goosebumps. I have tried every towel possible and for the first time EVER in 8 years.. I found a towel that doesn’t bother me. The funny thing is I started off just buying the hand towels & wash cloths to match my Casaluna throw pillows in my room. When I received the towels in the mail.. my first impression was soft and thicker than others I have seen. But the true test for me is washing them a few dozen times. Well.. 4 months later.. these towels are still just as soft and plush! I will truly freak out if target ever stops selling them!!!! They have a wide variety of colors to pick from. Target often runs sales on their towels… so if the price scares you.. wait till Target runs their 20% towels sale. But if I’m being honest…they are worth every penny and I would pay full price all day every day!

ITEM#2: THE HOME EDIT WORK BOOK

So something I found on Netflix while we were home in quarantine, was this show called “Home Edit” on Netflix. Have you seen it? I am always up for home organizing show. Makes me realize my clutter truly isn’t that bad.. basically makes me feel a little better about myself for a small second. Well.. upon watching it… I ordered EVERYONE of their books and some of their containers to organize my fridge. The book I was most excited about was the “The Home Edit Workbook” . This book is truly a workbook and it broken up into sections and spaces in your home and walks you step by step in organizing it all. I MEAN IT IS SERIOUSLY A ORGANIZING FOR DUMMIES WORK BOOK!!! Organizing can be so overwhelming and they help break it down space by space. I have already organized 2 spaces and cannot wait to share with y’all the final view. All of this clutter in our closets and in drawers is causing my anxiety to spike badl, so like the book says take 1 drawer and space at a time.

ITEM #3: THE GYM KEG

WATER! WATER! H20! WATER! We all know water is good for the body. And if you are anything like me… I know I need to drink water but like everything, I never do as i’m told. I struggle tremendously with getting a decent water intake in everyday. I bought this jug to help that. If I just rely on drinking 8 single water bottles or 8 cups… I’m going to tell you right now. IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! I have no concept for the water intake I need if I mentally think of it like that. But if I have my jug filled up I physically see how much water I need to drink in a bigger picture. And by noon if I see my jug isn’t half gone… I don’t know what happens but I mentally get that jug drank by the end of the day. And don’t get me wrong some days are harder, especially if I don’t take it with me while running errands. But for the most part if I fill this jug up in the morning and take it everywhere with me for the day… it will ALL get drank.
