Wow I was so excited to get these to satisfy my cravings even though I don’t buy these kind of snacks often… and I was even more excited to open them when I saw they are dye free! 👏🏻

These have the perfect amount of pickle flavor, tanginess and spice. They have a nice crunch and the heat creeps up on you but isn’t overbearing. Adding these to my snack line up for the summer!

Nothing like a good, slow, summer Saturday morning. ☕️💅

Got this ladder golf set as PR and now it’s our fav outdoor game to play! So sturdy and packs away in a carrying case. Even has a magnetic score keeper on the side!

Medela sent me this organic nipple balm for my honest review and I only wish I found it sooner! Early on in my breastfeeding journey I had the WORST cracked nipple that would not heal and both were so sore and raw. I did use other nipple creams that worked well but the application was painful due to the sticky texture and rubbing it in. I absolutely love that this has a pump which makes it much easier to use but it also literally melts into your skin with no sticky feeling so it helps so much with the tenderness! I also love that this is organic and only has four plant based ingredients. Mamas who are breastfeeding, you need this!

What has been your holy grail on your breastfeeding journey?

Goodbye, flat hair! Influenster gifted me this in exchange for my honest review! Swipe for the before 👉🏻 last slide

I have LOVED this product! I have very fine hair that tends to look so flat. My hair is naturally very straight and I can’t seem to get any volume without curling it. This totally fixed that problem for me! My hair falls so nicely with very little styling and even without additional products. My hair seems to dry quicker and it doesn’t dry flat at all. There is so much volume at the root and throughout. My hair is so soft and shiny and there’s no weird residue left behind. My only complaint is the spray nozzle is a bit too direct. It doesn’t mist very well so I spray it into my hand and then apply to my hair. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who needs a little extra oomph!

This collab with @properhealthofficial could not have come at a better time! I spent the last week with the ick and it was absolutely awful but hydration is key in recovery! Proper saved the week keeping me hydrated and refreshed while my body worked off whatever this illness was. I was sooo impressed with the flavors, especially the watermelon berry! So good. I love that these didn’t leave me feeling bloated like other hydration drinks I’ve tried and I could easily customize the flavor by changing the amount of water.

What’s your go to flavor for your drinks?

But shoutout to @gocontigo because these really do not spill 👏🏻🤣

Imagine missing out on your grandchildren because your pride mattered more than an apology.

One simple “I’m sorry” could’ve changed everything. Instead, little moments turn into missed memories, bedtime giggles, tiny hugs, holidays, milestones, and all the love only grandparents get to experience.

I know you tell everyone I keep them from you, but all I ever asked for was a sincere apology… we just don’t matter enough for you to take accountability.

Influenster gifted me this kids watch to review. The first month is free and the plan is affordable! The screen is great quality and the camera is decent for a kids device. The video is great quality. The app was difficult to navigate and some features have improper English. I love that my daughter can use this to text or call me anytime and I have a GPS feature to keep track of her location. It has a social circle which allows kids to post content for approved contacts to see, but I felt uneasy about who could access them. It has a schedule you can set to disable features aside from being an actual watch and SOS. The SOS feature just sends a notification in the app though and there’s no dial out option to call emergency numbers. We have it set around school, bed time and gymnastics. The cons of this watch make this not our first choice despite the cool features. The GPS isn’t very accurate and sometimes you have to update the location from the watch itself. It shows our daughter is a block away from home every time we are home. The heart rate feature is cool and accurate. The steps feature is cool and fun to keep kids active but it does add steps when you are sitting still. Anyone who wants to contact the watch user needs to have the app to contact them. I can’t expect everyone to download an app for it. We also found the app difficult to use and we could only get my husband added as a contact by scanning the QR code on the watch, which isn’t feasible for our long distance family. The app is also confusing and would definitely be complicated for grandparents. This is a good starter watch but not our top choice.

Absolutely obsessed with this and the fact it doesn’t use synthetic fragrance!

Stella’s picks!

We went shopping at cotton on today!

Native gifted me this shampoo and conditioner bundle and immediately it took me back to my childhood with that coconut scent! It smells just like the shampoo we all used back in the 90s and early 2000s! I’m a sucker for nostalgia. I also try to stick with clean ingredients for my skin and hair care so I love that these are pretty clean compared to most shampoos and conditioners. My hair feels soooo silky soft and bouncy when I use these on wash day! They rinse clean and leave no icky residue behind. I do think I prefer my salon hair care still but this is a good combo for days I feel like my hair is getting too used to my usual shampoo and needs something new!

I LOVE this product. I typically air dry my hair lately because I’m busy and this has actually helped smooth my hair so much in the process. I love the spray nozzle which gives a super fine mist and it’s almost a continuous spray. My hair instantly feels softer and dries with half the frizz it usually has. My hair feels so soft and silky especially at the ends. It’s also extremely affordable and knocks my high end products out of the park!

I was gifted this Aussie Ultra Wonder Mist to review and I was skeptical because of the retail price but I am actually loving this! This is an all in one spray that can be used daily as a hair primer, heat protectant and frizz preventer. This has left my hair feeling so soft, looking shiny and frizz free! Being postpartum I have baby hairs and lots of flyaways and nothing tames them but this did a pretty good job! I love using this before a good blow out.

While it is said to be a daily mist I do find that it doesn’t work for my hair when I use it on dry hair, but my hair tends to get oily pretty quick and this mist feels heavy on my hair when applied to dry hair. It’s super lightweight and softening when applied to wet hair though! So I have been using it on wash day and I love it!

We absolutely love this little car! So many ways to learn with sounds, shape sorting and a ball drop in the door panel!

Medela sent me this through Influenster in exchange for my honest review and as a second time breastfeeding mom I cannot recommend this enough! I had the older version with my first baby and this one is basically the same just more modernized. It is so efficient at removing milk. You control the rhythm so you can be fully in tune with your body and know exactly what you need to get the most milk out. It’s so quiet and no batteries required because all the work is done with a little handle. Surprisingly it does not wear my hand out using it. It’s so easy to clean and I always have it in my diaper bag just in case my wearables die on me!

Our sweet Marlene is 6 months! (Late post)

She is sitting up all on her own and becoming so independent.
She is soooo close to crawling!
She is OBSESSED with food, especially steak & yogurt.
She loves her big sis the most and gives her the biggest belly laughs.

We are so blessed to have this little munchkin 🩷🩷

Bai sent me this new blood orange flavor to try and WOW… just wow. This drink is so smooth, light and refreshing and the flavor is bold and bright. I love that it is packed with electrolytes and vitamin C! Only 10 calories and no artificial sweeteners but still deliciously sweet. I will definitely be keeping this stocked in my fridge!

Thank you so much @influenster and @native for gifting me this sugar scrub to review! I absolutely love sugar scrubs and I was so excited to try this! First, it smells wonderful. It reminds me of the tropical flavor gum I used to chew in high school. Sweet and cool but not too strong. The texture is so silky and soft and not too aggressive like some other sugar scrubs. It’s rich and creamy and gently exfoliates without feeling harsh on the skin and my skin feels so smooth after each use. The clean ingredients are just another added bonus! I love this scrub so much!

Trying out this new scrubber @scotchbrite and @influenster sent me!

I really love the idea behind this soap dispensing sponge. It really simplifies the dishwashing routine and I don’t have to keep reaching for the soap bottle every time it gets a little less sudsy. I love the stand that holds the sponge so it can dry quickly without making a mess. I also think the button placement is well thought out and I don’t accidentally squeeze it while scrubbing.

That being said, there are a couple areas I feel need improvement. The sponge has a hole directly beneath the dispenser and the soap seems to fall right through instead of soaking into the sponge. The sponge can also only be used with the scrubber on one
side and I actually like the other side better.

Overall it does a fantastic job cleaning my dishes!

OBSESSED with this face mask! Unlike others this one only takes 10 minutes to set and youre good to go. My skin feels so soft and smooth and the redness is completely gone after one use. I use this once a week! Cannot recommend enough

With the first snow, the light is BRIGHT but I don’t love a full black out curtain, so I’m grateful to be given the opportunity to add these to my home!

Completely custom curtains to fit your style from no light filtering to total black out, choose your custom size, your preferred pleat, color, etc! They even have a measurement guide on their website to help you get the perfect fit! I am obsessed with how beautiful these look in our living room.

native sent me PR and I am obsessed with this! It smells incredible, a lot less vanilla than I expected and like a luxury perfume. My skin feels so soft and moisturized and the ingredients are clean! I absolutely love how it felt getting into bed after my shower last night smelling this good 😌
