We are headed on vacation tomorrow to the beach and we can’t wait! It’s always nice to be able to take a break from everything, not have to worry about much, and just enjoy time doing whatever you want. We’re going with family and already have some fun things planned out like going to the spa, on a boat tour to look for dolphins and a brewery tour. Do you have any upcoming vacations? If so, let us know where you’re going!
On another note, can you believe that yet another month has flown by, talk about crazy! The good news is, we’ve got some really good current favorites from June that we are about to share with ya.
Current Favorites: June 2019
Lovestitch Clothing:
We have been a fan of Lovestitch for a few years now. We just did a collaboration on the blog with them where we share 7 outfits to wear this summer. Let’s just say when we received the pieces, we were doing a big ole’ happy dance. Their clothes are the perfect combo of boho meets California girl.
Hey Frida Bars:
If you read our 11 healthy snack ideas blog post, then you know how we feel about Hey Frida bars. They have quickly become one of our favorites. We honestly could eat bar after bar, they are just that good! The best part is they are packed with good for you ingredients.
Morgan Harper Nichols and Lindsey Eryn:
I (Lydia) have opened up here and there about not going off to college and working on pursuing this blogging dream of ours. To be honest, most days I have no clue what I’m doing and it’s definitely been hard on me (read more about my thoughts here). That being said, I am always on the lookout for inspiration to help lift me up and remind me that I AM on the right path. Without fail, Morgan Harper Nichols and Lindsey Eryn are always doing just that.
Morgan Harper Nichols makes art and writes words inspired by stories people send via DM. You can sign up for free daily texts and email here. I also just subscribed to her daily devotional app called Storyteller.
Lindsey Eryn has a lifestyle + business podcast called The Daring Romantics. It was created for dreamers, visionaries + idea people who dare to move mountains, disrupt culture + live well. You can sign up for daily texts here and weekly emails here.
Bike Shorts:
Still not sure if I can pull off the bike short trend, but I just got a pair of leopard bike shorts. They’re super comfortable and now I’m just looking for an oversized tee to pair with it. Here is my inspo pic for the outfit I want to recreate.
Gucci Ace Sneakers:
White sneakers are basically my best friend, haha! I wear them every single day and the Gucci New Ace sneakers are my most worn. They are definitely an expensive pair of sneaks, but with how often I wear them, they’ve gotten their money’s worth.
iPhone Tripod:
A while back we shared on stories that we needed help on how others film videos on their phone. We couldn’t figure out how to prop it up or try to balance it on our camera tripod. Someone shared that they make tripods for phones and oh my gosh, it has made our life so much easier. The best part is the iPhone tripod comes with a Bluetooth remote and it’s under $25.
We also put together an Amazon page for you, so you can shop our all-time favorite purchases. You can follow the page as we’ll continue to be updating it.
Anine Bing Sweatshirt + Anine Bing Tee:
Truth time: we just can’t get enough of Anine Bing tees and sweatshirts! If you have no idea who/what we’re talking about, you can read our Anine Bing review.
We might have a slight problem because we keep adding more and more to our collection, oops! We typically stick to wearing our own clothes, but we have been sharing all of our Anine Bing pieces. Funny story, Lydia said she won’t be able to move out because then she wouldn’t have access to all the tees and sweatshirts, haha!
Rainbow Nail Trend:
Have you seen the rainbow nail trend yet? Basically, every one of your nails is a different color or you could choose five different colors to create a pattern. I am so obsessed!
Travel Makeup Bag:
We’ve seen others talk about this travel makeup bag from Amazon and it’s pretty great. I love that it has compartments that can be customized to fit your makeup + it has a spot for your brushes. A total win to have everything in one place vs carrying it all in more than one bag.
Make sure you order the exact one linked above… here’s why! There a ton of different brands that sell this makeup case, but the one I have shared has a variety of PU leather and canvas cases that you can choose from. The PU leather is just a few dollars more, but the material and look is worth it!
Skincare Fridge:
Another popular item we’ve heard others talk about, a skincare fridge. Technically, it’s just a mini-fridge that you can store your skincare products in. I know it seems kind of crazy, but putting chilled products on your skin feels so good! So far I’ve put some face masks, eye serum, moisturizer, an essence that’s in a spray bottle, and a facial roller in the fridge.

And that’s a wrap on this month’s edition of current favorites. Let us know if you’d like us to continue putting out this type of blog post each month! You can check out last months favorites here.
