The July Edit

Hi Everyone,

I hope you’re well — TGIF!

I wanted to send over this month’s list of everything I’m loving right now. The big baby news kind of overshadowed some of my normally scheduled programming on Substack, so thank you for your patience! Let’s chat through it.

For My Home

• Crow Canyon Serving Spoon & Ladle - You all know I’m very into splatterware right now and this serving spoon as well as this ladle have recently been added to my collection. They’re such a cute and fun addition to my kitchen!

• Zara Home Hurricane - I’ve been looking for a small, unique hurricane for pillar candles in my living room and this one is adorable and super affordable. I got the smaller size!

• Bamboo Dish Brush Set - I’ve been using these dish brushes for years and love them. Great deal alert!

For My Kitchen

• Jacobsen’s Flakey Sea Salt - This salt is dare I say.. better than maldon? It’s incredible. I even recently bought their on the go salt tins from William Sonoma and I’m obsessed. Great gift for the cook in your life!

• Staub 1.5 qt Dutch Oven - I’m embarrassed to admit this but midway through July (like literally today) is usually the time I start to get nostalgic and ready for autumn. I bought this to do the William Sonoma style simmer pots all autumn long and can’t wait for my house to smell like fall.

• Lineage Nose to Tail Collagen - I recently got this collagen and am obsessed. Collagen is so important during pregnancy (one of my girlfriends swears it made her not tear with her second), so I’ve been putting it in my smoothie every morning and loving it.

• Cosmic Cultures Matcha - I tried this matcha earlier this year when they did a collaboration with Glow With Ella and I’m beyond obsessed. Best matcha I’ve had by far and it comes in the cutest reusable container. Code ANNA10.

For My Mind

• Functional Maternity - My friend Mia (on this week’s episode of Back to Basics) recently recommended this book to me and it’s phenomenal. A must-read for every expectant mother!

• Promix Relax - Something I’ve implemented recently to help me sleep (the second trimester insomnia is hiiiiiittting) is Promix’s Relax supplement. It’s a mixture of magnesium bisglycinate and lemon balm, so it gives me the perfect night’s sleep without a weird hungover feeling the next day. While you’re on their site, I also highly recommend checking out their beef protein in vanilla (just launched!) which I’ve been adding to my morning smoothie and loving. Code ANNA for a discount!

• Dr. Shannon Ritchey on On Purpose - Loved this episode about functional exercise and muscle building. Great listen!
