📦 ✨ Some of my favorite purchases


Hi Reader -

We just got back from our very quick, but very nice, trip to Ludington, MI. The laundry is in progress, the kids are ready for bed, and I'm browsing through Prime Day deals.

I wanted to share some of my most-loved purchases. Not random things that happen to be on sale, but my actual favorites.

👩🏻‍🍳 For the Kitchen

👚 Clothes

👸🏻 Health/Beauty

  • I used to try to cut pills with a butter knife but this little gadget is so much more accurate.
  • This pill container fits perfectly in my purse and holds a lot. It's great for traveling.
  • These bathroom organizers make me feel like I have my life together when I look in the cupboard.
  • I bought this humidifier last year after debating it for a long time. I love it can go through the dishwasher (no gross mold) and I wake up less stuffy when I run it.
  • This sunscreen is all I wear on my face in the summer. And it has lasted a long time.

🏡 Home & Yard

  • I bought these solar lights in April & still love them.
  • This glass diffuser looks so nice on my desk.
  • This rechargeable headlamp has gotten a lot of use from fixing things to crocheting lol
  • I love this vacmop so much that I bought my mom one & she loves it, too! I use it daily but I don't use the solution it comes with, just vinegar water.
  • I love that this spin mop keeps my clean/dirty water separate.
  • Silly & cute, we love these remote covers & they help us not lose the remotes.

✈️ Travel

  • I loveee my Kindle.
  • This toiletry bag stays packed with my travel size things so when a trip comes up, everything is ready.
  • This little umbrella stays in my car & has saved me many times.
  • This backpack holds a ton, including my laptop, and is the perfect carry-on.

⍰ Question for you

I'm shopping for a robot vacuum but there are wayyy more than I realized & I'm getting overwhelmed. If you have one you love (or don't love), can you let me know?!

Shopping for anything specific? I'm happy to help you look!

Good night :)

Hi Reader- I have a quick "techy" tip today that is actually going to make your life in the kitchen a whole lot easier 🤓 Have you ever searched for a recipe on Google, only to be buried in a mountain of results that aren't quite what you’re looking for? Or a bunch of sites that don't even look legit? (me too) Google has a new feature that lets you pick your "Preferred Sources." Basically, it’s a way for you to tell Google: "Hey, I know and trust Melissa’s recipes. Whenever I’m looking for...
