10 things I loved in August

August always feels like a blur, equal parts golden sunsets, back-to-routine energy, and those little daily joys that carry you through the in-between moments. As I looked back on the month, I found myself smiling at the simple things that made it feel special: products I reached for on repeat, small rituals that grounded me, and bits of inspiration that brightened my days. Here are 10 things I loved in August… maybe they’ll spark a little joy for you too.

Sam Edelman Lorraine Loafer - I have these in three different colors. And best yet, they last years!

Gap 365 High Rise Pleated Trouser - Loved them so much, got them in a second pair. You can play with kids, go to work, hang out all day in them.

WaterBoy Electrolyte Daily Packets - I throw these in my bags and it makes the routine water less boring. Not too salty, but not too sweet (which a lot of electrolyte packets can taste like.)

Auden Scoop Bralette - I am always on the hunt for a non-padded, but durable bra. I wear this under scrubs, under t-shirts, literally all the time… and the price point is it.

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream - It’s a perfect weight for this transition season between hot and cold weather. This cream doesn’t smell and give the hydration I need.

Joie Chili Spin 360 - After my first child, I always don’t friends, “You don’t need a spinning carseat.” I was gifted one for my second child, and boy, I’m eating my words!

Samba OG Shoes - A cute sneaker all the girls are wearing.. for $100. Great with trousers or athleisure.

Living Proof High Shine Gloss - If you find that your hair needs shine, especially after you blow dry - try this product. You put it on in the shower after conditioning. Leave it on for 5 minutes, rinse it out, and you will be so impressed.

Double Standard Primer & Mascara Duo - I love how this is two products in one. Makes it easy for quick routines, easy for travel, and easy to bring your lashes to the next level.

Melissa and Doug Fruit Cutting Set - I purchased this for my 2.5 year old daughter and she will play with it for a solid 30 minutes. And for toddlers, that means it’s a keeper.
