A peek at everything I loved in April 2024!

FOOD

Bubbly Bellini Bliss. I still can’t get enough of this flavor of seltzer. Oh my gosh! It is summer heaven and I love it.

32 ounces of vanilla bean paste. Cue all the heart eyes! This is the best purchase ever. I will never run out.

Thin Mint Bites. I was prepared to be underwhelmed and the exact opposite happened. These taste like tiny mint truffles and they are incredible.

HOME

Tineco iFloor 3 Breeze. This has been life changing. Since moving in the fall I haven’t been able to find anything to successfully clean my floors. I’ve spent a lot and returned a lot. This is INCREDIBLE. It’s so smooth and easy to use too.

Small portable folding table. I got these last year but they have been great to take to baseball practices for Jordan. He can use these for play or eating. They are so compact and light.

Dagne dover tech organizer. Another thing I’ve gone through multiples of – cord organizers. I should have just got this one in the first place. It’s the best!

Neck and shoulder relaxer. I have always held tension in my upper back and neck. This is remedying that super well.

BEAUTY

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Blush. Oh my gosh – this might be my most favorite blush ever. It is a blush/highlighter combo and so gorgeous. My favorite shade is Happy.

Killian Sunkissed Goddess. This may be my new summer scent. It’s as if bronze goddess and soleil de blanc had a baby. SO summery.

Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Gloss. I bought this by accident but it was a gorgeous shade! I tried it and instantly fell in love. Excellent gloss!

FASHION

A New Day Sandals. These are so comfortable, I love the shade for summer and could not beat the price.

Free People Button Up Shirt. I am very dedicated to a denim shirt but this may be my new favorite – ever. I just bought the other colors. It runs huge but it is so soft. A must have!

Pumeiy V Neck T shirts. This brand is my favorite for bodysuits, but now I am loving the t-shirt too. As a note, this looks cropped but I am so short, it is not cropped on me. If you’re tall, it might be too short!

Dagne Dover sunglasses case. One of the best purchases of the year. This case holds 3 pairs of glasses (so I use it for my everyday glasses, then 2 sunglasses) and the color heatwave is amazing. I want the entire line in that color.

MEDIA

Palm Royale. I’m obsessed with this show and can’t get enough. I feel like I’m in a total 60s era.

Just For The Summer. Favorite book of the month, by far. Abby Jimenez can do no wrong!

Til Death Do Us Part podcast. Clearly I’m in my murder podcast era too. I only like the ones about husbands and wives (no kids can be involved. and yes, Eddie thinks I’m nuts) and this one is excellent. I’ve almost exhausted their list. It’s a husband/wife recording and they are so funny – I love them.

KIDS

Divided serving box with handle. This has been my dinner box, mostly for Jordan. I pack it up with snacks/dinner/etc and take it to our evening activities for the older kids. He loves it!

The best bubble machine! We’ve had this for years but I just ordered a new one. Nothing beats this bubble blower!! It puts out so many bubbles at one time. It’s super fun.

Lego sunflowers. Both Max and Emilia are super into legos and adored building these. They each got one and they are so pretty!

The post April Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

It’s one of the best sales of the year!!

I love sephora sales because I stock up on so many of my usual favorites, as well as try a few new things.

I’m sharing a few items that I have in my cart that are new to me. EVERYTHING else below is something I use and love (or have used and loved) – these are all my personal recommendations. I ramble about them too. They probably come as no surprise considering I’ve talked about almost everything before, but here we are! I’d love to hear what you love so I can build out my wishlist!

I like to get the big items like dyson hair tools at this sale. Also, good skincare, value size shampoo and sunscreen. I also love it to buy perfume during the sale, because you can rarely find that on sale (if ever!) – especially Tom Ford, Jo Malone, Killian, etc. None of this is sponsored, I just loooove talking beauty products with you.

2024 SEPHORA SPRING SALE FAVORITES

I have a few new-to-me things in my cart that I’m excited about! There are some of the things I want to grab:

Sol de Janiero Rio Radiance Body Spray SPF 50.

Sol De Janiero Rio Radiance SPF 50 Body Oil.

Sol De Janiero Rio Radiance SPF 50 Lotion.

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye.

Laniege Sleep Mask.

Dr Idriss Roll on Serum.

Color Wow Money Mist Leave in Conditioner.

Now, on to my classic favorites that I recommend.

My Skincare Essentials.

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream. This will always be a repurchase for me. I use it as eye cream, as face cream – it’s incredible. Totally worth it for me.

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Pads. I am loving this. They are gentle enough for daily use.

Supergoop Value Size Sunscreen. I buy one of these every summer. It stays in the garage and we have sunscreen every time we step out.

Luna Sleeping Oil.Been a favorite for years!

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen. This is incredible under makeup. Such a great primer.

Dermalogica SPF 50 Moisturizer. Also another great facial sunscreen. It’s lighter with no fragrance.

Tan Luxe The Butter. Favorite self tanning cream.

Herbivore Cloud Milk Body Cream. I use this daily and it smells incredible. Light vanilla-ish.

Skin Services Softening Body Lotion. This is a new-to-me lotion and it’s so light and thin, but incredibly moisturizing. I don’t have anything like it!

Sol De Janiero Bum Bum Cream. Classic fave. Will wear it forever.

Sol de Janiero Bom Dia Body Scrub. This scrub smells so delicious. I love using it and how the shower smells after.

Dr. Dennis Gross Daily Peel Pads. I use these a few times a week at night. Swear they work on the texture on my face.

Dr Dennis Gross Facial Steamer. One of my favorite beauty purchases ever!

Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip balm. This saves my lips every night.

Laneige Lip Glowy Balm. Every flavor of this is wonderful. So soft and moisturizing.

Kate McLeod The Dry Brush. I use this before every shower!

My Makeup Essentials.

Beauty Blender. I am never without a beauty blender for foundation/bb cream/concealer/etc.

Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer. I don’t like primers but LOVE this. It just evens out the skin and smooths it – I use it on its own or mix with a tinter moisturizer or foundation.

Iconic London Blurring Skin Tint. Also love this!! I’ve been mixing it with the above. Still light coverage, but very natural and nice.

Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint. I still don’t like heavy foundation on my skin, and this is my current fave if I want a little more coverage. I’ve used this for two years and love how much it evens out my skintone. I’d say it’s light to medium coverage.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue. If you like really light coverage, this is still my absolute favorite. I’ve used it forever.

Too Faced Born This Way Concealer. My favorite concealer under my eyes. It is so perfect and not too drying.

Gucci Bronzer. Best bronzer ever. I’m on my third one.

Charlotte Tilbury Setting Powder. I use this over tinted moisturizer or sunscreen. It’s awesome.

Iconic London Radiance Complexion Booster. Use this mixed in with all my tinted moisturizers!

Iconic London Liquid Highlight. Adore this highlight for mixing with foundation or moisturizer. It’s very liquidy and it’s pretty golden (almost too golden for me!) but it is wonderful for mixing. I use this almost everyday.

Westman Atelier Contour Stick. My favorite contour stick of all time. I use the shade biscuit. I’m on my second one and it is a great formula.

Gucci Luminous Matte Blush. This is such a stunning matte blush. Lasts forever.

Rare Beauty Luminous Blush. I just got three of these last week and I’m obsessed. It’s a blush and highlighter in one. I LOVE THESE.

Merit Cream Blush. If I want a cream blush, this is what I reach for.

Rare Beauty Silky Touch Highlighter. This is such a gorgeous highlighter and creamy formula. It’a almost always sold out too. If you see it, grab it!

Hourglass Unlocked Mascara. I hate buying expensive mascara but omg this is WORTH IT. It’s a tubing mascara and does not flake or smudge, plus gives excellent length.

Benefit Gimme Brow. The ONLY thing I use on my brows. It’s so natural. Nothing compares to the tiny brush.

Nars Pro Prime Smudgeproof Base. This is my favorite for eyeshadow base. Have used it forever.

Makeup by Mario Moistureglow Lip. Obsessed with this. It is SO moisturizing and love the colors. Like a balm with a lot of color!

Tarte Maracuja Lip. I adore these, I have so many different versions and colors and I love them all. Another product you don’t need a mirror to apply.

Lawless Forget the Filler Gloss. Can you tell I am obsessed with balm and gloss?! I probably have five of these.

Lawless Forget the Filler Balm. Equally as good as the above!!

Dior Lip Glow Oil. Another classic that I always have with me. my current favorite is the berry shade.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm. I have one of these stashed everywhere.

Sephora Pro Foundation Brush. This is the brush that I use for my westman atelier products. I love how it blends! It’s super soft and I find it to be a great brush for the price.

Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow. I love these for a single swipe of color. My favorites are space cowboy and rebel star.

Makeup By Mario Master Matte Nuetrals Palette. My favorite matte palette.

Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. My everyday eye palette!

Natasha Denona Glam Palette. I use this when I want a little more drama.

My Hair Essentials

Crown Affair The Hair Towel. I’ve used hair towels for years but this specific one is THE BEST. It has a strap to tuck the towel in and secure it.

Dyson Hair Dryer. Eddie got this for me for Christmas last year. It is life changing. I would only ever buy it if it is on sale, and if you have a lot of hair. It adds so mcu volume and body!

Dyson Air Wrap. Another thing I didn’t think I’d ever buy, but last year I did. It is AMAZING! This can definitely be a one stop shop for your hair. If I could only take one hair tool with me to a deserted island, it would be this. It’s so pricey and rarely ever on sale!

Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Shampoo. Favorite shampoo ever! Get the value size if you can.

Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Conditioner. Same as the above. The scent is so good too.

Moroccan Oil Root Boost. I love this for some volume when styling. I use on wet hair before drying.

Color Wow Dream Coat. This is key in the warmer months for no frizz.

Kerastase Hair Oil Serum. I use this once a week on my ends.

Living Proof  Restore Perfecting Spray. My favorite leave in condition. Doesn’t weigh down my hair at all.

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. This is my favorite spray to use on dry hair. Adds texture and volume but isn’t sticky.

Sol de Janiero Leave In Conditioner. Again, the best scent.

T3 Whirl Trio. I bought this at a VIB sale a few years ago and still use it weekly. It is an amazing high-quality set that took me a long time to buy (so pricey!) but I use it SO much. And I love that it comes with three sizes of the wand.

My Fragrance Essentials

I am a warm fragrance person. I love all things vanilla, amber, mush, a very very light hint of floral – those are the scents I gravitate towards. These are a few of my all-time faves that I highly recommenced. Fragrance never goes on sale so this is the perfect time to try. I also always try travel sizes first when possible before buying a big bottle.

Glossier You. This has been one of my favorites for YEARS. It’s delicious.

Tom Ford Vanilla Sex. One of my newest perfumes and I adore it. Smells wonderful.

Carolina Herrara Good Girl. As a note, I hate this bottle. It kept me from buying it for years. But this is basically the best scent ever.

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. My go to summer scent. A light coconutty but warm fragrance.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry Warm and delicious with a hint of red cherry. It’s so good.

In Too Deep Perfume. More warm deliciousness.

Kilian Paris Love Don’t Be Shy. This is kind of marshmallowy and sweet but also light with light floral. It’s delicious.

Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom. A longtime favorite of mine. Warm and floraly.

The post 2024 Spring Sephora Sale Favorites! appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

A peek at everything I loved in March 2024!

FOOD

Bubbly bellini bliss. This is amazing. Tastes SO summery and delicious. I am assuming it’s a limited edition summer flavor. Go find it!!

Sourdough pizza recipe. I make this once a week. It is the easiest sourdough pizza recipe I’ve found and incredibly delicious too!

Alton Brown’s chewy chocolate chip cookies. My new favorite chocolate chip cookie. This has replaced almost all others. At least for now.

HOME

Bread Knife. I make so much sourdough these days that this knife is NECESSARY. It has become something I can’t live without.

Step 2 planters. Okay, we have tons of step 2 stuff for the kids – but I just learned that they have planters!! Now they aren’t rustic or warm looking (what I usually go for), but after having multiple raised garden beds rot away and fall apart, I got these ones for my deck. My herbs will go in here and I love that there are separate compartments. They also look SO sharp! They don’t look plastic-y from a distance.

Stoneware serving bowl. This is what I have on our counter for fruit, and I’ve also used it for salad too. It’s so pretty and simple!

BEAUTY

Osea Body Balm. I’ve been using osea for years, but I never had tried the balm before. Oh my gosh. This is like a serum for your body. It feels unlike anything else I’ve ever tried. I adore it. I top it with the oil, which I’ve had forever.

Sol De Janiero Bom Dia Bright body scrub. This is my current fave scrub. The smell is incredible. And I love that even after a shower, when I was into the bathroom I’m hit with the most delicious scent! Even the kids are like… “what smells so good?!”

Kopari Golden Aura Body Oil. I also adore this for use after any moisturize. It smells divine. It’s a very light, warm and comforting scent. It doesn’t linger or give me a headache!

Gucci Blush in Silky Rose. I’ve used the gucci bronzer (it’s the best!) for a few years and just got a blush. WOW. The texture and formula is spot on. I’ve been using a very old blush palette and this is going to be in the rotation from now on.

FASHION

Wide leg jumpsuit. Oh my gosh – last year I fell in love with the spanx air essentials jumpsuit and this is almost IDENTICAL!!! It’s nearly the same for a fraction of the price. The material is incredible. And the colors!

Sorel Impact sneakers. Obsessed with these. I love the shape, color, how the bottom is so detailed and most importantly – they are SO comfortable.

Cream top handle bag. I LOVE this bag. It feels so luxurious and I adore the nuetrals for spring. I never want to spend $$$ on a white bag because of color transfer and it getting destroyed. This is the perfect compromise.

Demellier santorini basket bag. On the other hand, this is a higher end basket tote but the mint sold me like crazy. I’ve wanted one of these for the last few years and it’s a lower price than so many of the higher end basket totes. The minute I saw this mint I actually preordered it and I can’t handle how gorgeous it is!

MEDIA

Apples Never Fall on Peacock. I loved this book and this series is SO GOOD. The cast is fabulous and I thought it was so well done.

Expiration Dates. It was my favorite book that I read this month. Super enjoyable!!

Anyone But You. I loved this movie. I watch is constantly. It’s such a good, funny, mind-numbing romcom!

KIDS

Crayola pip tiles. Love these tiny little magnatiles! I can throw them in my bag and Jordan loves playing with them at the kids’ activities.

all in motion tennis skort. I got a few of these for Emilia (there are more colors in store!) for tennis and general running around this spring and summer. Super comfortably and cute.

Hurry up chicken butt game. This is ridiculous but my kids LOVE it. The name of the game alone makes them howl with laughter. It’s like hot potato but funnier.

[none of this is sponsored, i just love to tell you what i love every month! there are a few general affiliate links above! xo]

The post March Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

We’re in the midst of the amazon spring sale and I thought this was the best time to share my faves with you! You can see some of my favorites from that sale here. But the whole thing inspired me to do one of these general favorite posts because I LOVE reading them from other people. I mean, who doesn’t love discovering a great find that can be dropped on your doorstep in two days?

I probably discovered almost all of these things from posts and IG stories just like this!

If you’re a regular follower, you’ve read about many of these in my favorites posts over the last decade! I also still have my amazon store front which has reading lists, summer favorites, baby and kid must haves and gift guides. And more!

Share some of your faves below with me!

Current Amazon Favorites

Parchment paper sheets. I have repurchased these a million times. I’ve used them for years and it’s the best way to use parchment paper with ease.

Diamond kosher salt. I also get my kosher salt from amazon! Diamond is my favorite kind, no matter what. This is also where I get my giant tub of flaked salt too.

Rotary cheese grater. This has been LIFE CHANGING!! If you are adamant about grating your own cheese (the best for tacos, mac and cheese, soup, etc), this is a must have. It suctions to the counter and grates cheese so quickly. It’s the best.

Loaf cake keeper. As a banana bread family, we use this every week! I also keep my sourdough sandwich bread in it too.

Farmhouse stonewear bowls. Speaking of sourdough, I needed a very heavy stone bowl to stretch and fold my dough. This is perfect. And it’s neutral and pretty too.

Simple Modern trek tumbler. I’ve raved about these for years so I’ll keep it simple: much better than Stanley. Spill proof, sleeker, lighter, etc.

Frost Buddy tumbler cup. I also LOVE this little tumbler for drive thru coffee! You can use it with cold and hot coffee.

Scout insulated cooler. This is my go-to cooler to use with kids. When I want to throw in some yogurts, fruit, etc but not pack full-on lunch boxes, this is awesome. It’s the best size! Also love using it for sports in the warm weather.

Motion sensor night lights. We have these all over our home. Wonderful with having kids.

Lightweight gold step ladder. I bought a few of these when we moved – we now have four! They are SO slim and lightweight – I like to store them all over the place. This sounds crazy but they are actually just so pretty to look at.

Press iron and steamer. I loathe ironing and this has changed that for me. This is like a flat iron for your clothing. I use it every week.

Pumiey bodysuits. I never thought I’d be a bodysuit person but these have changed me. They are like if a light lululemon align material was made into a bodysuit. And I love all the cuts!

Best no-show socks. The only socks that don’t slip AT ALL. They are the very best. I almost exclusively wear these.

Kitsch silk scrunchies. These silk scrunchies are what I use in my hair anytime I put it up while at home. I adore them.

Manta scalp massager brush. I bought both my mom and myself one of these for christmas. It’s a more gentle scalp brush and it’s flexible too.

Kenra blow dry spray. I’ve been using this for over a decade. Excellent heat protector and I swear it cuts my blow drying time in half.

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. This is a polarizing product but I love it. It’s almost like a vaseline. I use it every night on my lips and hands. It is always on my nightstand.

Vitamin d3+k2 spray. Use this daily and have for years. One of my favorite supplements!

Cordless stick vacuum. I’m on my second one of these (the first broke in our move) and I love it. This is my kitchen vacuum. It’s so incredibly lightweight and it is excellent for crumbs. I can’t live without this.

Washing machine cleaner. I use this every month!! We do a ridiculous amount of laundry in our house.

De Solv It laundry saver. This has saved so many of my lululemon clothes – and anything else that has a lot of modal in it. This removes stains even after clothes have been in the dryer. I have yet to find something it doesn’t work on.

Mattress vacuum cleaner. I was influenced to purchase this and it’s fabulous. It’s actually gross how much it picks up from the mattresses. Gross and satisfying.

Felt tip pens. If you’re a pen and paper person, these are GOLD. Love how they write.

(none of this is sponsored, I just love to talk about what I like!) 

The post 20 of My All Time Amazon Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

A peek at everything I loved in February 2024!

FOOD

Purely Elizabeth Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola. This may be the best store-bought granola I have ever had. It’s SO good. My kids love it too.

Salt & vinegar pistachios. These are irresistible – the best salty snack. If you love salt and vinegar chips, these are incredible.

Favorite Day bunny bait. A snacky staple this time of year – it’s a great little weekend treat. This goes for all easter candy, anything in an egg shape is superior! Like dove peanut butter eggs, peanut butter m&ms, lindt eggs and more.

HOME

Sourhouse Goldie. This has been a HUGE game changer for my sourdough starter!! I keep my starter in this and it rises and falls like clockwork. It keeps the temperature stay consistent and high enough – at a temp that I don’t even reach in our house.

Raisenne Proofing Mat. On that same note – this has also been a big help for my actual dough. I’ve been using it for all sorts of dough (I like our house to stay cold) and it helps it to rise quickly and efficiently.

iHome multiport charger. I’ve mentioned these before but they are a lifesaver in both our house and my car. We have so many things that have to be charged and this streamlines them a bit!

Matte hot pink wrapping paper. This paper is fabulously neon and I think it’s going to be my signature wrapping! I adore it.

Acrylic necklace hanger. I bought these for my delicate necklaces and they come with sticky backs – they are so pretty! And you can really stick them almost everywhere. Super useful!

BEAUTY

Unconquered perfume. I discovered this through scentbird and it’s incredible. Warm, some musk, a little coconut, but not summery. New favorite perfume!

Summer Fridays lip oil. The pink shade is this is so pretty – it’s so light but is flattering with just a little color. This is so, so moisturizing, it’s wonderful.

Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut body oil. I use this daily after my shower, it smells exactly like sol de janiero. I love that it has a pump and I mix it with body cream.

FASHION

Target sandwash sweatshirt. This is an exact (maybe even better?!) dupe for the lululemon softstreme sweatshirt at a fraction of the cost! It’s incredible. I have black, green and purple and I love them so much.

Gap vintage neon pink sweatshirt. Hello, all I’m going to tell you about today? Sweatshirts! This neon pink sweatshirt is another huge fave this month. It’s perfect. And you’ll notice a theme. I’m obsessed with red and pink.

Beyond yoga spacedye leggings. Like these red and pink leggings! Red + pink is my favorite combo to wear – it is so fun, happy and bright!

MZ Wallace box tote. And this too. I got it at christmas, it’s a big of the splurge but fits so much. And the perfect color combo! I live for a crossbody.

MEDIA

The Women. Best book I read in February, period. Heart wrenching in the best way!

Breakfast in a Nancy Meyer’s kitchen. This is the best playlist ever.

Starstruck on HBO. This is SUCH a fun and funny show. I love it! And there are enough seasons to get a good binge in.

KIDS

Tulip puff paint. Makes me feel like it’s 1995 again. The kids LOVE using this. Like absolutely love it.

abercrombie kids ypb hoodie & pants. Emilia finally fits into some of the abercrombie kids stuff and these sets are SO cute. They are exactly like the spanx air essentials material – so silky, soft and lays so nicely. Looks super high end! Also, protip: never buy abercrombie at full price. There are constant sales for 30-40% off (kinda like jcrew does) or even more.

Melissa and Doug take along train set. Jordan got this for Christmas and it’s the best toy ever. He loves trains and this is so easy to pack up and move around the house – but also take with us. It’s definitely going to be a travel essential for us!

The post February Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

A peek at everything I loved in January 2024!

FOOD

Veggie Straws Hearts. This the snack of the year for us so far. The kids love veggie straws and these heart ones are SO cute. And poppable!

Trader Joe’s step up to the snack bar mix. The original version (with honey mustard pretzels) and the spicy version (with jalapeno pretzels) are both incredible. During the holiday season I stock up. This is a great happy hour or entertaining snack. Or just a good salty nighttime snack!

Favorite Day hot cocoa whipped cream. This is a seasonal item so I believe it’s out of stock. But Target has it every holiday season and it’s so good. We also love the marshmallow flavor too!

Kodiak cakes protein pancakes. These are nothing new – Eddie has eaten them for years. But we’ve cracked the case of what keeps the kids satisfying in the morning until school lunch, and it’s these! We do two with some butter and it’s an excellent combo for them. Very satisfying! Emilia also likes the waffles.

HOME

Bosch mixer. I bought this mixer last month because I’m deep into sourdough sandwich bread making. And it is SO GREAT for that. My kitchenaid does not work for multiple batches of sourdough. This works so well and I love it.

Candle warmer lamp. This is a repeat fave because it’s so good. I love how pretty it is. I’ve gifted many in the last month! It adds so much a room, I just love it.

CB2 pasta bowls. These are fabulous bowls. They are almost like a big plate with a lip OR a bowl. Everything can be served in them!

Valentine’s juice glasses. I love themed EVERYTHING, so these glasses were a must for me. On that same note, these double walled heart mugs are also great!

FASHION

Eberjey gisele lounge set. I’m loyal to the nordstrom moonlight pajamas, so I’ve never seen a reason to get these ones. But I got a lounge set at christmas and LOVE it. I love that the pants and more jogger-like and banded at the bottom. Super soft and cozy.

Amazon ankle socks. These socks are the BEST and they do not fall down. I love them so much.

Nike fleece crewneck. I mentioned the hoodie version of these a few months ago, and the crew neck is just as good. They are slightly oversized and the way they fall is just so lovely! I also love that there are soooo many colors.

BEAUTY

Skinny confidential ice roller. This is the BEST ice roller I’ve ever used. It’s huge, it’s cold at all times because of the stainless roller. I love it.

Dior lip glow oil and lip balm in Berry. Oh my gosh! I’ve tried these before and while I like them, haven’t been wowed. However, I got the berry color which is a much cooler purple shade. It looks too dark, but on the lips it is such an excellent cool toned color and I adore it. I’ve almost gone through the entire balm. I love it and won’t ever be without it.

Herbivore cloud milk body cream. This is what I’ve been using daily and it smells incredible. It’s so thick and moisturizing. I love it.

Virtue healing hair oil. Another new thing in my hair routine. This smells phenomenal!

MEDIA

Mercury. Absolutely loved this book this month. It was fantastic.

Love Marry Kill Podcast. I mentioned this earlier this week, but I discovered it this month and have binged so many episodes. It’s so, so good.

Page. kindle covers. Sort of falls into this category. She has the BEST kindle covers ever.

KIDS

Kids kindle. Max got this for christmas. I was worried because I didn’t like another “screen,” but he reads so much and takes so many books in the car. Oh my gosh. It’s been wonderful and he LOVES it. He reads even more now. It’s incredible.

Soft gym joggers. These feel like lululemon joggers for kids! They are excellent. Max loves them.

Rainbow acrylic step stool. I love the stools that we have from serena and lily. But this is a fun colorful version that is very lightweight. We have it in the toy room!

The post January Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

A peek at everything I loved in November & December 2023!

FOOD

American Spoon hot cocoa mix. I bought this for the first time this year and am LOVING it. I save it for special occasions because it is that good.

Trader Joe’s Butter Waffle Cookies. These cookies are incredible. So buttery, with a great crispy crunch. Tastes like a waffle cone, but better. And more vanilla-y.

Trader Joe’s Baked Lemon Ricotta Cheese. I hate that this is limited edition because it’s incredible. I love adding it to a cheeseboard. It tastes like lemon cheesecake in the best way possible!

Sweetapolita sprinkles. They will always be the best for pretty and fun sprinkles. No others can compare!

HOME

Dash Popcorn Maker. We have used this every week for two months now. It’s perfect for our weekly movie night! And easy to use. The kids love it.

Candle Warmer Lamp. Finally broke down and got one of these and I LOVE it. It is perfect for smaller candles. And it really does allow the scent to travel through the whole house!

Thymes All Purpose Cleaner. This is my favorite candle scent during the holidays and I love using this cleaner in my kitchen too. It makes everything smell like a christmas tree.

TUL Retractable Pens. New pens for the new year. These ones are so good!

BEAUTY

MAC Relentlessly Red + Natasha Denona Emilia Lip Pencil. This combo has been my go-to red lip all season. I LOVE IT. I’ve worn the MAC shade for well over a decade (it’s my book tour lipstick!) and matched with this pencil, it gives the most effortlessly ombre color. Perfect.

Chanel Amarena Gloss. And this gloss! I love it over the red lip or alone. Chanel gloss is utter perfection. This is red with sparkles, but still sheer enough to pull off.

Fenty Skin Butta Drop Cinnamon Body Butter. I got on the bandwagon for this body cream and adore it. It’s super thick and luxurious. It also smells incredible!

I Need a Nude Eye Palette. Since I’ve been doing a red lip most days, I use this for neutrals and love how it has matte shades but also some sparkle. So super flattering!

FASHION

Wondershop Puffer Vest. This was my best Target find all season. It’s the perfect weighted vest and the neon pink is incredible. It’s not TOO puffy – and it’s so pretty!

Hillhouse Lafayette Sandal. Best go-to shoes this season too!! I love everything Hill House and this heel is so low that these are super comfortable. They are gorgeous. I’ve also had the higher platforms for a year and love them!

Hobo Fern Sling Bag. My current favorite bag is this mini backpack, but used as a sling. It’s so classic and the leather is super soft. It also fits a ton! I can fit a big pack of wipes and a water bottle in here, which are necessary.

MEDIA

Snowed In. My favorite book of the past two months! I’ve been reading so many great holiday reads.

Dolly Parton’s Rockstar album. It’s so good! I just love it. It was the only break I took from Christmas music this month.

KIDS

Little Sleepies Joggers. I can’t rave about these enough for the kids, especially Jordan (2) and Emilia (6). They both love how comfortable these are. They are so soft and wash great too.

Mix & Match magnetic vehicles. Jordan got a few of these for Christmas and I also got them for my godson Cooper. They are so fun! The vehicles pull apart and you can mix and match them. They are lightweight and easy to pack in a purse for on-the-go play too .

Palm Pals. It’s no secret how much Emilia loves stuffed dogs and stuffed animals in general. But I discovered these palm pals which are tiny enough to fit in your palm – like a little beanbag. Max loves little stuffed animals like that. So they each got a few for Christmas, and they are such a hit! So cute and sweet.
