May Favorites

Here’s what I was loving in the month of May. Have you found anything knew that you were loving last month?

Birchbox “Arrow Boost Color Enhancing Lip Balm” in Berry Busy – It looks purple in the packaging, but when you put it on your lips (or cheeks) it turns to a nice bright pink. I have another brand, but this Birchbox one seems to have better color payoff.  It lasts for a couple hours on the lips without having to reapply. It feels like chapstick on the lips and doesn’t dry them out like some lip products.

Perfect Bars– I talked about these in my favorite protein bars post. I have been loving these lately. I really enjoy the texture and flavor of these. The dark chocolate chip peanut butter is my favorite flavor, although I like most of them. I however, don’t enjoy the price tag. I usually only eat half the bar at a time, because they are quite calorie dense.

Trader Joe’s Raspberry and vanilla cream bars– These little bars are so delicious, and the perfect size for a sweet treat. It’s hard to eat only one of these, but the ingredients and macros aren’t that bad. Yes I tore the box open so I could eat one.

Nickel & Suede Earrings – Nickel & Suede is a local Kansas City company, although they will ship all over the US. I love these earrings because I (1) have sensitive ears and (2) can’t handle heavy earrings.  This is the perfect option when you want to have larger and fun statement earrings but you can’t take the weight of large earrings. Because they are leather they are super lightweight and easy to wear. Just remember to take them out before you get in the shower! I also have a rose gold cuff from them that I love as well. Everything is also pretty reasonably priced, and they make great gifts (it’s been my go-to lately).

Eddie Bauer Dress – These are all part of the Departure dress line. To be honest I really didn’t even know Eddie Bauer had dresses that I could wear to work, or dresses at all. The fabric is so light weight and it really packs and travels well. I care about this because I travel a lot for work and these dresses don’t get all wrinkled in my suitcase. I actually own all three off these, and wear at least one every week. Eddie Bauer is always having a sale, so there’s no reason to pay full price!
