A peek at everything I loved in July 2025!

FOOD

Chobani s’mores creamer. This is the best flavored creamer I’ve ever had in my life. Thank goodness pumpkin comes next because I’ll be sad when I run out!

Trader Joe’s aglio olio seasoning. We FLY through this seasoning. I love it on just about anything! It has a little kick and it’s so great.

Brightland squeezeable olive oil. I adore brightland olive oil and was so excited to get it in a squeeze bottle. They are all I use now!

HOME

Mini travel white noise. I never thought I’d be a white noise person, but as a parent I’ve slept with a monitor on with some white noise now for almost 10 years! I loved having this for travel.

Handheld mini fan. Never leave home without it. Never!

Smeg kitchen scale. We go through kitchen scales like crazy. They’ve always been flat digital scales and that works great for my sourdough. But I LOVE this smeg one. I love that it’s a bowl! I can put things directly into it and it is so pretty to look at. I don’t mind leaving it out.

BEAUTY

Kosas blush in Heartbeat. I am a blush fanatic. It’s my favorite thing to try. This shade is stunning. It screams summer! It’s like a bright coral red, but very flattering and wearable.

Conair ceramic hot rollers. I’ve been a hot rollers girl my whole life – velcro rollers make my hair so frizzy! And they also rip my hair out. Nothing holds a curl like these.

Olehenriksen peach glaze lip treatment. This is SO comfortable on the lips that I can’t be without it. I have one everywhere.

FASHION

Hat clip. I use this for my cuyana visor almost every day!

Strappy nude slides. I’ve wanted a pair of strappy flat sandals in nude and these are SO comfortable. I love this brand for comfort.

Naghedi small St Bart’s tote. I’ve tried all the dupes for naghedi and nothing is as good as the real thing. It’s so stretchy and beautiful. This is my summer crossbody and I love it. So chic.

Scalloped dress shorts. This is the first time I’ve actually tried shorts under a dress (like the short nap dress!) and why haven’t I always been doing this?!

MEDIA

The Summer I Turned Pretty. It’s just a comfort show for me! I can watch it over and over again. I read the books so I know what happens and I don’t wonder what if!

Broken Country. Oh my gosh – this book gutted me. I loved it and couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Ina’s mini cooper ride playlist. This is so fabulous from the queen herself.

KIDS

Adidas lite racer 7.0 sneakers. Max has loved these shoes for years but now Emilia and Jordan have a pair. They all love them!

Aqua shark handheld game. Jordan LOVES this little retro game. It’s great for dinners out too.

Paint by number canvas. Emilia’s current favorite craft. She has done one of these every week!

Perfectly Logical brainteasers. We have had so much fun doing these together. I love this book.

[none of this is sponsored, i just love to tell you what i love every month! there are a few general affiliate links above! xo]

The post July Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

Oh how I love this day!!

Every year I share my favorites from the Nordstrom anniversary sale and after asking if you wanted to see them this year, I was super excited to share them again! I don’t worry about trendy or crazy new items in the sale – I love it for classic basics and there are things I’ve had forever that are at a great price. You’ve probably read about many of these below in my favorites post each month! That’s one of the reasons I like to post this… to share some of those things I’ve used and loved over the last year. I linked some of the things over on LTK if you’re a frequent user of the app too.

This year, the sale has SO many good things. I think it’s the best it has been in years. Multiple pieces I love (spanx air essentials, varley, longchamp, etc). Things I’ve had for years and use daily or weekly. This isn’t sponsored and I just love sharing what I love!

What are you eyeing?

Naghedi petite tote. This is a much smaller version that you can use as a crossbody!

Longchamp city tote. Another favorite. I have many of these totes and they pack up to nothing. Unbeatable!

Longchamp cosmetic case. This is my #2 pick. I have gifted these and have some myself. They are great to use as pouches or a little purse.

Allsaints card case. I love the allsaints brand. This is the exact kind of card case I have and love.

BEAUTY

Dyson hair dryer. If there is one dyson item to get, this is it! We love the dyson hair dryer and all use it. We’ve had it for years.

Dyson airwrap. This is my second choice! I use the airwrap frequently and it gives my hair so much volume.

Dyson airstraight. I bought this earlier this year and am loving it. It is SO easy to use.

Simplehuman mirror. I’ve had this as my makeup mirror for at least five years. It’s great.

Higher Dose sauna blanket. Another must have that is rarely on sale. We use the higher dose blanket every week – multiple times a week. I’ve had mine for years and it gets constant use. It’s still going strong.

Hourglass makeup brushes. These are super high quality and feel wonderful on the face.

Armani cheek tint set. Obsessed. I’ve used these exact two colors for a few months straight. I love them.

Bader The Rich Cream. My holy grail eye and face cream. It’s so expensive but you need a drop – that’s it. It lasts forever.

Dr Dennis Gross Peel Pads. I use these every other day and have for years. Definitely a favorite.

TSC mint roller. I love all TSC items and this is perfect for travel. It’s the best.

Osea body balm. This balm feels like a serum on the skin, it’s incredible.

Osea oil set. One of the best sets. The oil is fabulous.

Supergoop sunscreen. This is one of my favorite sunscreens.

Coola sunscreen. Same with this!

Oribe dry texture spray. This is incredible for beachy waves. One bottle lasts a really long time.

Bio Ionic long barrel curling iron. I just recently got this curling iron and it’s excellent. The long barrel is a game changer.

T3 curling iron. I’ve had this one for years – and it’s what I’ve used before I bought the above!

Good Girl perfume set. I hate these bottles and branding, but this perfume is my go-to. The dry down is so good.

HOME

Our Place cookware set. This is one of the best deals ever – especially because the color is so good.

Our Place wonder oven. Equally as great! This oven does EVERYTHING. We have one downstairs and love it.

Staub baking dish set. I am in love with these colors!

Le Creuset baking dish. Use it constantly. At least once or twice a week.

Le Creuset dutch oven. Another thing I use nonstop.

Wood carving board. The juice grooves in this board are what make it so great. Definitely a must have.

Wood charcuterie board set. I am getting this! Absolutely love how this set looks.

Double drink dispenser. This is so beautiful and I’ve never seen a double like this. It’s on my list to purchase.

Matte black citrus press. So is this! It’s so pretty.

Black and gold serving bowl. I got one of these last year and it is STUNNING.

Freeze champagne glass set. I have the margarita glasses like this – they are excellent. Definitely getting these ones too.

Oil and vinegar cruet. Another thing on my list – beautiful.

Barefoot Dreams blanket. Best blanket ever! We have multiples, I have gifted probably 10 or 20 of these over my life.

BEIS duffle bag. I really trust the quality of BEIS. I have two weekender bags and we really like them.

BEIS carry on. We have two of these and love them!

Away carry on. And I have one of these in the checked luggage side. It’s really great too!

Boll & Branch waffle blanket. This is on our bed and we use it every night. It’s such a nice weight.

Boll & Branch sheets. And these are the sheets we’ve used for years! I usually get a new set every other year during this sale.

All season down comforter. Two years ago I bought three of these for our new house. They are wonderful.

Malawi storage basket. This is so gorgeous. I want it for our living room.

KIDS

Doona stroller. This is a #1 must have purchase if you’re having a baby. I couldn’t have survived without it!

Doona liki trike. Once Jordan was out of the stroller, we got this. He still uses it today! It’s convertible and so easy to use.

Veer Cruiser wagon. We’ve had a veer wagon since 2019 and while very pricey, it’s one of the best things we bought. It can fit 4 little ones or 2 older ones. Max is just growing out of it now (at 10). We use it for walks, the zoo, the beach, etc. It folds up so nicely. It’s been our only wagon and we adore it.

Nanit monitor. I still use this every single day. I wish it existed when I had my first child.

Barefoot Dreams stroller blanket. Just like the blankets above, I have gifted many of these! My kids still use them every day and for travel too.

Slumberpod. If you travel or use a pack and play a lot, this is a game changer. It fits over the crib and makes it blacked out – it’s unbelievable. And folds up to nothing!

Baby Bjorn bouncer. I used this constantly with all three as babies. And have gifted it to many people too.

Stokke tripp trapp chair. Another game changing item for kids, baby through elementary!

Rainbow cardigan. I bought this for Emilia last year and she loves it! She wears it as a little spring/fall jacket too.

Zella skort. The cutest!

Under Armour soft shell. I got this coat for Max last year at the sale. He loves it. It’s so soft.

Nike jogger set. The boys have many of these and they are always a favorite.

Sorel waterproof boot. We’ve had lots of different sorel boots for the kids and they’ve all been wonderful. Especially if you live in a snowy area.

Hunter rain boots. Rain boots too! All three kids have a pair.

On Cloud running sneaker. My kids run cross country and these are what Max runs in. He loves them.

The post My 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

I love prime day! Since we moved over a year ago, I have been able to find so many home deals during this sale. Today I’m sharing my top 20 favorites – the things I think are really worth it in the sale.

Most of these probably sound familiar because they are in my monthly favorites over and over again. Everything is something I have and love!

You can find more of my picks here, as well as my amazon store front.

My Top 20 Prime Day Favorites

Tineco iFloor 3. I’ve mentioned this MANY times but it changed my life. I mean, not to be dramatic. It changed my cleaning life! This cleans my floors like NOTHING else. It is incredibly satisfying and cleans so well. There are some weeks when I use it daily! I also have another version for the larger floors in my house. It is equally as incredible and the battery and tank last a little longer.

Kindle Paperwhite. I can’t live without my kindle these days. Max also has one and uses it constantly when we’re on the go. I take mine everywhere. I actually get anxious if I forget it at home! I also have the tiny kindle which I love to take in small bags or leave in my car so I always have it!

Parchment Paper Sheets. I buy these over and over again. Can’t live in my kitchen without them!

Breville Barista Touch. During prime day this past summer, I made an impulse purchase and oh my, was it wonderful. I love this and so does everyone who steps foot in my house! It’s like having a little coffee shop in your home. The coffee is incredible.

Moccamaster Coffee Maker. If you’re more of a pot-of-coffee person, this is for you. We have one of these and I use it for all holidays, when I’m entertaining /have guests. Eddie doesn’t drink coffee and that’s the only reason I don’t use it daily. It makes excellent coffee!

Breville the Smart Oven® Air Fryer Pro. This is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I love having it in my kitchen to easily reheat items or make things like quick chicken fingers for the kids. Definitely my favorite air fryer too!

Samsung Frame TV. If you’ve been considering a frame TV, this is the time to get one. Prime day is when we got ours before moving and we have two in our house – our kitchen and bedroom. I love it even more than I thought. Especially in the kitchen! It’s such a fun way to add a variety of art or holiday color to the room. Everyone always thinks it’s actual art too. This is the frame I have around it.

wernies No Show Socks. Best socks ever! They do not slip at all. I have repurchased these many many times.

Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones. I have tried every version of headphones imaginable. These are my current favorite and what I’ve been using the most. I love how they are not heavy on the head. They are very comfortable.

Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows. A few years ago I was googling the best pillows. I’ve done this many times and we’ve never been satisfied. But 3 or 4 years ago we got these (and have since replaced once or twice!) and they are INCREDIBLE. We both love them. We have the king version.

Clean skin club facial towels. I’ve been using these for over a year every night and I swear they’ve changed my skin. I was going through so many towels to ensure I always had a clean one for my face, and with little kids and hand washing, it was hard to determine that. I LOVE these – they are so convenient and easy to use.

Cordless Dust Buster. We have three of these! They live in all corners of the house and garage and are so easy to prop up on the charger. We also use them for our cars.

Our Place Griddle Pan. I LOVE this. I use it as a baking dish mostly – it’s so much nicer than a sheet pan and is excellent quality.

Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor. I got this in 2021 when I had Jordan and it was one of the best purchases. I love it. I travel with it and still use it every night.

Little Tikes Bounce House. I don’t know how we survived 2020 without a mini bounce house – and we STILL use it constantly. The kids love this and it fits in our basement and also works outside.

Magnatiles. Possibly the most versatile toy ever – my kids (ages 10 to 3) all still adore magnatiles. They keep them busy and are easy transportable. They have built some really cool things with them!

Toniebox. Jordan absolutely loved his Toniebox. It is incredible and I wish these existed when Max was his age!

Yoto Mini. This is what Emilia and Max have – it’s like the toniebox but for older kids. Emilia has used hers every single day for YEARS. She listens to it at night, we take it in the car, on vacation, everything.

Osea Body Balm. I love all Osea products, but this balm feels incredible on the skin. Almost like a serum. I use it right after the shower, before the oil.

Wall Charger, Surge Protector. I have a few of these and I like to travel with them. They are also great in the kitchen. We all have so many different devices these days that having this is necessary.

(this is not sponsored, I just love to share what I love! there are some affiliate links above. thank you for reading!)

The post My Top 20 Prime Day Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

A peek at everything I loved in June 2025!

FOOD

Fruit Riot sour mango. This combo with the strawberry and peach is so incredible. We all love it!

Chobani toasted coconut vanilla yogurt. This was too sweet for me at first because I only use plain greek yogurt. But once I cut it with plain, I ended up loving it. It’s amazing with grape nuts and fruit! Definitely tastes like dessert.

Torres fried egg chips. This brand makes my favorite truffle chip and when I heard about these, I had to try. They are DELISH.

HOME

Corn brush. Corn on the cob season! I live for it but if there is one strand of silk, I’m done. This is saving me.

Dock and Bay beach towels. These are the best because they dry SO fast – they don’t get soaking wet like terry towels. They also fold up super small to go in your bag.

Mini travel umbrella. I am the worst and never ever have an umbrella. This saved my life about 50 times this month. I keep it in all my bags and it’s SO tiny!

BEAUTY

Naturium restoring body lotion. I go through body lotion and oil like a crazy person and this one is fantastic. Has a pump, super thick and nourishing. No scent!

YSE skin glow. This was a fave last summer and it’s great. I use it for minimal makeup or no makeup days. I use it as sunscreen but with a glow. It has such a pretty finish on the skin.

Kosas heartbeat blush. This color is incredible. I am such a blush fiend – this is like a hot firey red/orange/coral and so lovely for summer. I adore it!

FASHION

Lulu align dress. I know I talk about this over and over again but it’s just the best one. I have worn it ten million times and it holds up SO well.

Crewneck flowy dress. I bought this a few months ago and it’s another dress I’ve been living in.

Alo visor. I LIVE in a hat outdoors. Spring, summer and fall – constantly. I love this alo one. It is cute and looks a little more fun that my regular black ones. And the sweat band is good!

MEDIA

Atmosphere. Best book of the month. Unreal. Her characters kill me.

Ginny & Georgia. I really loved this season so much!

KIDS

No leak googles. We saw a few kids have these on vacation and ordered some instantly. My kids live in goggles and these are by far the best. Comfortable, don’t fog up, don’t leak – they are so good.

Toy camera. Jordan got this for his birthday and he adores it. He takes it everywhere! It is so cute.

Chroma blends watercolor markers. My kids are obsessed with these, especially Emilia. They are so satisfying to use too.

The post June Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

A peek at everything I loved in May 2025!

FOOD

Go raw snacking granola. My favorite granola is still the cookie granola, but this comes in as a close second. It is SO good! Super crunchy, tastes amazing. The kids love it too.

San pellegrino CIAO sparkling waters. I think I’ve mentioned different sparkling waters every month recently, but we are all loving these ones. They are san pellegrinos version of spindrift and so delish.

Johnnypops rainbow popsicles. My kids adore these! They are so refreshing. We are fans of every flavor.

HOME

Dock and Bay beach towel. My favorite quick drying towel that I take EVERYWHERE. It folds up so small and can go in any bag for the kids.

Wood serving bowl board. Got this a few weeks ago and used it all weekend for hosting. It’s so nice.

Clipa bag hanger. Many times, I forget about my favorite bag hanger! But this is a must if you have a top-handle bag that doesn’t have a strap – it’s perfect for hanging the bag right next to you so you don’t have to put it on the floor.

Hulken bag. End of the school year when I remind you just HOW MUCH I love this freaking bag. It does everything and is also great for travel. I got them for the end of year teacher gifts this year again. Huge hits!! Costco apparently has a dupe, but I haven’t tried it yet.

BEAUTY

Laniege lip glaze in strawberry sprinkle. Another month, another mention of this. It’s my go-to right now. I have one at home, my car, in my bag, etc.

Byoma nourishing body oil. Basically I want to say Byoma everything!

Prequel moisturizing milk. This lotion is SO smoothing. I wouldn’t suggest using it right after shaving (def burned my legs!) but otherwise it’s incredible. And so light but moisturizing at the same time.

JVN Blowout styling milk. More milk… ha. This is for hair and it’s super lightweight – I use it on both my own hair and Emilia’s. I take a small amount and work it through when damp before blow drying. It doesn’t weigh hair down at all.

FASHION

Wide leg palazzo pants. Obsessed with these pants with a tank top or tee. They are so comfortable, flattering and not too long! Being only 5″1′ that is key. If you’re tall they might be too short, just FYI.

Crochet tank tops. Super cute for the season – I got one in black and pink!

Tie dye summer maxi dress. I’ve found a lot of easy casual dresses on amazon this month that I love, and this is my fave. I live in dresses in the summer and I’ve found a ton that are just simple, light and flowy and that I can throw on. They are polyester so it’s not the best material but it feels fairly silky and looks cute and flowy!

Slim nude flip flops. These are SO comfortable – they are the slim flip flops but with memory foam! So much more comfortable than other versions I’ve tried over the years.

MEDIA

My Favorite Bad Decision. Best read of the month, hands down. And I read SO MANY GOOD ONES this month!!

The Dating Detectives podcast. One of you recommended this to me last month and I LOVE it.

KIDS

Girl’s athletic shorts. Emilia needed new gym shorts for school and I ordered a pair of these – she ADORES them! They have tights under, a tennis ball pocket and are so super cute.

Dinosaur autobrush. Jordan has loathed brushing his teeth from day one. This doesn’t replace his regular brush, but this has made him LOVE brushing his teeth in the morning and night! I wish I had found it two years ago.

The Lord of the Rings box set. Max is currently reading this and this is the set we have. We have the paperback, but I kind of want to get him the hard copies!

The post May Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

A peek at everything I loved in April 2025!

FOOD

Caprese cottage cheese toast in Easy Everyday. I could truly eat this… everyday! Can’t get enough.

Gomacro bars. My favorite find of the month!

Chobani birthday cake creamer. I don’t go crazy over flavored creamers like I did in my 20s,  but this one is SO good. It truly tastes like birthday cake. Best iced latter ever.

Dill pickle pistachio snack packs. Was very excited to find these since the salt and vinegar ones are a snack staple.

HOME

Waterproof outdoor rug. I have one of these on our deck and it’s the best.

White serving trays. ‘Tis the season for outdoor entertaining! I got these to carry food out for our dinners on the deck and I love ’em!

Stone car coasters. I probably mentioned these way back in the day, but they are something I can’t live without in my car. They instantly absorb any liquid and they are great if you like to get iced coffee.

Gel car air freshener. Speaking of car things, I stick one of these under my seat and love it. It doesn’t have a strong fragrance but it does absorb odors. Perfect for the sports/kid mobile.

BEAUTY

Georgio Armani liquid blush. The cool pink and coral pinch have been in my rotation constantly. Sometimes I use both and mix them!

Laneige Glaze Craze lip balm in strawberry sprinkles. Adore how foolproof and cool toned this is. I want one in every bag.

Ouai St Bart’s leave in conditioner. Emilia and I both have been using this. It smells so wonderful – such a good summer scent.

Dry Bar big hair besties. My current favorite velcro rollers. They give so much volume up top!

FASHION

Oura ring. This is a repeat fave but I LOVE my ring. It’s ugly and I hate how it looks, but it tells me so much useful info. I adore it.

Frame slim palazzo jeans. I hate that I’m listing another expensive item here but let me tell you… best jeans I’ve tried in YEARS. I probably haven’t bought a pair I loved in 10 years. This is it!!! They are so stretchy and soft.

Straw sweatband visor. Funny I’m listing this in “fashion” too… but these are my favorite visors since they have removable sweatbands. They are awesome!

MEDIA

Ransom Canyon. I’m such a sucker for soapy dramas like this. It’s like Yellowstone + Virgin River. I loved it!

Great Big Beautiful Life. No surprise here… Emily Henry’s new book was definitely my favorite of the month! It’s so good.

KIDS

Kids slip on sneakers. Jordan LOVES these because he can so easily slip them on himself. They are his play shoes for outside and definitely his favorites.

Giant Connect 4. The kids got this for Easter to have out by the pool. It’s one of their favorite games so we are super pumped!

Polarized sunglasses. Max and Emilia don’t really go outside without sunglasses. I always get each a pair + one extra so we always have them on hand! Their eyes are sensitive and they love these ones.

The post April Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

I love the spring sephora sale! It’s all about summer makeup and skincare, the best sunscreens and summery perfumes – it gets me SO excited for warmer weather!

EVERYTHING below is something I use and love (or have used and loved) – these are all my personal recommendations. I ramble about them too much. They probably come as no surprise considering I’ve talked about almost everything before, but here we are! I’d love to hear what you love so I can build out my wishlist!

As a note: I like to get the big items like dyson hair tools at this sale. Also, good skincare, value size shampoo and sunscreen. I also love to buy perfume during the sale, because you can rarely find that on sale (if ever!) – especially Tom Ford, Jo Malone, Killian, etc. None of this is sponsored, I just loooove talking beauty products with you.

2025 Sephora Spring Sale

My Skincare Essentials.

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream. This will always be a repurchase for me. I use it as eye cream, as face cream – it’s incredible. Totally worth it for me.

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Pads. I am loving this. They are gentle enough for daily use.

Supergoop Value Size Sunscreen. I buy one of these every summer. It stays in the garage and we have sunscreen every time we step out.

Luna Sleeping Oil.Been a favorite for years!

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen. This is incredible under makeup. Such a great primer.

Dermalogica SPF 50 Moisturizer. Also another great facial sunscreen. It’s lighter with no fragrance.

Tan Luxe The Butter. Favorite self tanning cream.

Herbivore Cloud Milk Body Cream. I use this daily and it smells incredible. Light vanilla-ish.

Skin Services Softening Body Lotion. This is a new-to-me lotion and it’s so light and thin, but incredibly moisturizing. I don’t have anything like it!

Sol De Janiero Bum Bum Cream. Classic fave. Will wear it forever.

Sol de Janiero Bom Dia Body Scrub. This scrub smells so delicious. I love using it and how the shower smells after.

Dr. Dennis Gross Daily Peel Pads. I use these a few times a week at night. Swear they work on the texture on my face.

Dr Dennis Gross Facial Steamer. One of my favorite beauty purchases ever!

Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip balm. This saves my lips every night.

Laneige Lip Glowy Balm. Every flavor of this is wonderful. So soft and moisturizing.

Kate McLeod The Dry Brush. I use this before every shower!

First Aid Beauty Ingrown Hair Pads. I love using these under my arms, especially in the summer.

Touchland Hand Sanitizer. I love these, but Emilia is the one who really loves them! Def a good time to stock up because they are pricey and don’t go on sale.

Soft Services Hand Cream. This was a gift but I keep it by my bed and it’s luxurious and great to use right before bed.

My Makeup Essentials.

Beauty Blender. I am never without a beauty blender for foundation/bb cream/concealer/etc.

Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer. I don’t like primers but LOVE this. It just evens out the skin and smooths it – I use it on its own or mix with a tinter moisturizer or foundation.

Iconic London Blurring Skin Tint. Also love this!! I’ve been mixing it with the above. Still light coverage, but very natural and nice.

Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint. I still don’t like heavy foundation on my skin, and this is my current fave if I want a little more coverage. I’ve used this for two years and love how much it evens out my skintone. I’d say it’s light to medium coverage.

Ciele Serum Foundation. This is another excellent one like above that has great coverage but also sunscreen! Sits really nicely on the skin and does not ball up.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue. If you like really light coverage, this is still my absolute favorite. I’ve used it forever.

Haus Labs Concealer. I discovered it this year and it’s my holy grail now. Obsessed.

Too Faced Born This Way Concealer. This is what I used for YEARS before the above. Also good on the face and not too drying.

Gucci Bronzer. Best bronzer ever. I’m on my third one.

Fenty Bronzer. This is slightly lighter and cooler than the gucci and I like it in the winter time for a very light contour.

Charlotte Tilbury Setting Powder. I use this over tinted moisturizer or sunscreen. It’s awesome.

Iconic London Radiance Complexion Booster. Use this mixed in with all my tinted moisturizers!

Iconic London Liquid Highlight. Adore this highlight for mixing with foundation or moisturizer. It’s very liquidy and it’s pretty golden (almost too golden for me!) but it is wonderful for mixing. I use this almost everyday.

Westman Atelier Contour Stick. My favorite contour stick of all time. I use the shade biscuit. I’m on my second one and it is a great formula.

Rare Beauty Liquid Contour. While I do prefer a stick, the cool toned shades of this are INCREDIBLE. And it blends so nicely!

Gucci Luminous Matte Blush. This is such a stunning matte blush. Lasts forever.

Rare Beauty Luminous Blush. I just got three of these last week and I’m obsessed. It’s a blush and highlighter in one. I LOVE THESE.

Patrick Ta Major Headlining Blush. This cream and powder duo has incredible shades AND incredible staying power.

Merit Cream Blush. If I want a cream blush, this is what I reach for.

YSL Make Me Blush Blush. These colors are also incredible. And this is so pigmented and beautiful.

Georgio Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint. Another liquid blush that I am loving. Especially in the peach shade.

Rare Beauty Silky Touch Highlighter. This is such a gorgeous highlighter and creamy formula. It’a almost always sold out too. If you see it, grab it!

Hourglass Unlocked Mascara. I hate buying expensive mascara but omg this is WORTH IT. It’s a tubing mascara and does not flake or smudge, plus gives excellent length.

Benefit Gimme Brow. The ONLY thing I use on my brows. It’s so natural. Nothing compares to the tiny brush.

Nars Pro Prime Smudgeproof Base. This is my favorite for eyeshadow base. Have used it forever.

Makeup by Mario Moistureglow Lip. Obsessed with this. It is SO moisturizing and love the colors. Like a balm with a lot of color!

Tarte Maracuja Lip. I adore these, I have so many different versions and colors and I love them all. Another product you don’t need a mirror to apply.

Lawless Forget the Filler Gloss. Can you tell I am obsessed with balm and gloss?! I probably have five of these.

Lawless Forget the Filler Balm. Equally as good as the above!!

Dior Lip Glow Oil. Another classic that I always have with me. my current favorite is the berry shade.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm. I have one of these stashed everywhere.

Fenty Gloss Bomb Stick. Best formula ever – it’s so silky and moisturizing.

Fenty Gloss Bomb Ice. If you’re someone who loves a mint lipgloss, this is a fabulous one. Always have one in my car.

Sephora Pro Foundation Brush. This is the brush that I use for my westman atelier products. I love how it blends! It’s super soft and I find it to be a great brush for the price.

Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow. I love these for a single swipe of color. My favorites are space cowboy and rebel star.

Makeup By Mario Master Matte Nuetrals Palette. My favorite matte palette.

Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette. My everyday eye palette!

Natasha Denona Glam Palette. I use this when I want a little more drama.

On til Dawn Setting Spray. This is essentially hairspray for your face. NOTHING MOVES.

My Hair Essentials

Crown Affair The Hair Towel. I’ve used hair towels for years but this specific one is THE BEST. It has a strap to tuck the towel in and secure it.

Dyson Hair Dryer. Eddie got this for me for Christmas last year. It is life changing. I would only ever buy it if it is on sale, and if you have a lot of hair. It adds so mcu volume and body!

Dyson Airstraight. I just got this a few weeks ago and I LOVE it. I feel like it has totally cut out a section of my hair styling time and it’s amazing.

Dyson Air Wrap. Another thing I didn’t think I’d ever buy, but last year I did. It is AMAZING! This can definitely be a one stop shop for your hair. If I could only take one hair tool with me to a deserted island, it would be this. It’s so pricey and rarely ever on sale!

Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Shampoo. Favorite shampoo ever! Get the value size if you can.

Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Conditioner. Same as the above. The scent is so good too.

Crown Affair Volumizing Shampoo. I have tried a lot of volume shampoos and this is by far my favorite. The conditioner is good too!

Moroccan Oil Root Boost. I love this for some volume when styling. I use on wet hair before drying.

Color Wow Dream Coat. This is key in the warmer months for no frizz.

Kerastase Hair Oil Serum. I use this once a week on my ends.

Living Proof  Restore Perfecting Spray. My favorite leave in condition. Doesn’t weigh down my hair at all.

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. This is my favorite spray to use on dry hair. Adds texture and volume but isn’t sticky.

Sol de Janiero Leave In Conditioner. Again, the best scent.

T3 Whirl Trio. I bought this at a VIB sale a few years ago and still use it weekly. It is an amazing high-quality set that took me a long time to buy (so pricey!) but I use it SO much. And I love that it comes with three sizes of the wand.

My Fragrance Essentials

I am a warm fragrance person. I love all things vanilla, amber, mush, a very very light hint of floral – those are the scents I gravitate towards. These are a few of my all-time faves that I highly recommenced. Fragrance never goes on sale so this is the perfect time to try. I also always try travel sizes first when possible before buying a big bottle.

The Maker Dream. This was a new find in 2024 and the scent is fabulous. So warm but not too sweet.

Replica Afternoon Delight. Another new find this year, I’ve been wearing it consistently every single day for months. It might be my current #1 right now!

Glossier You. This has been one of my favorites for YEARS. It’s delicious.

Tom Ford Vanilla Sex. One of my newest perfumes and I adore it. Smells wonderful.

Carolina Herrara Good Girl. As a note, I hate this bottle. It kept me from buying it for years. But this is basically the best scent ever.

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. My go to summer scent. A light coconutty but warm fragrance.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry Warm and delicious with a hint of red cherry. It’s so good.

In Too Deep Perfume. More warm deliciousness.

Kilian Paris Love Don’t Be Shy. This is kind of marshmallowy and sweet but also light with light floral. It’s delicious.

Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom. A longtime favorite of mine. Warm and floraly.

The post My 2025 Sephora Spring Sale Favorites. appeared first on How Sweet Eats.

A peek at everything I loved in March 2025!

FOOD

Sour cherry preserves. I’m on a real english muffin, almond butter, cherry jam kick. It’s so good.

Bees Knees salted honey. This… is amazing. I thought I loved hot honey? New obsession unlocked.

Blueberry yogurt pretzels. I first had blueberry pretzels 12 years ago and I constantly think about them. They are so good. Like deliciously artificially good. Such a fun snack! My kids are loving them too.

Starbucks Iced Cherry Chai. I can’t get enough of this. It is so super delicious! The cherry cold foam… oh my gosh.

HOME

Breville air fryer pro. I’ve had this for years but am instantly reminded how wonderful it is. It’s super easy and such a great air fryer!

Easy plant. I’ve wanted to get house plants since we moved in. We have TONS of natural light and I knew I needed to find the right plants but I also wanted good, high quality ones. We just don’t have many places around here that fit the bill. In my search I discovered easy plant and I bit the bullet a few weeks ago. I got a trio and two stands and I LOVE them!! The pot makes the watering process so easy and there is no guessing game. I don’t have a green thumb so this is key. I am so happy with them!

Fresh Wave odor absorbing gel. I use this in my car under the front seats. If you have kids and they are in activities and you basically live in the car every evening… um you get it. This is great! No scent – it doesn’t make the car smell fragrant – but it does absorb odors. I change it out every two to three months or so.

Artificial tulips. These fake flowers are the most realistic ones I’ve ever seen. They are so good and I’ve used them for years. Make it instantly feel like spring!

BEAUTY

RMS magic luminizer. If you’ve followed along, then you know I’ve loved this for years. This provides the most natural glow that is so so pretty. I use it on my cheekbones, bridge of my nose, cupids bow, brow bone, etc. It’s so natural and you only need the tiniest amount. I love it.

Kitsch XL thermal rollers. I’ve been using these to add body to the top of my hair and am so happy with them!

Crown Affair hair towel. I’ve now used this for over a year (or more) and I have two that I can switch between. They just released it in black and if you have dark hair that is dyed, it’s such a game changer. I use this daily and can’t live without it. The strap and the back makes it SO worth it.

FASHION

Varley Zip Through Knit. Particularly in the azure blue! I got one of these a few years ago and LOVE it for spring and summer. Their new blue shade is absolutely stunning and I’m so glad I grabbed it. It’s much brighter than their usual neutrals.

Joy lab high rise skort. I LOVE THIS. It is so comfortable, so cute and such great quality. And the leopard print is so good (so are the solids) – you know how leopard can be iffy? This one is super cute!

MZ Wallace Denim small sutton. Maybe it’s because I love the 90s at heart but a denim bag is my favorite. I have multiple MZ Wallace bags that I’ve used for well over 10 years (my first diaper bag with Max!) and the quality is incredible. They are just so easy to use and fit so much.

MEDIA

Substack! In case you missed it I launched a substack this month to celebrate one month out from Easy Everyday and I love it. It feels like old school blogging – more personal – and it’s such an incredible community. You can subscribe here!

Care and Feeding. Definitely my fave this month – a hard read but so good.

Paradise. What an incredible thrilling show! The cast is awesome.

KIDS

Scented water wow books. My kids loved water wow books when they were younger. I grabbed the scented ones for something fun for Jordan to do at his siblings’ sports and activities. He (and Emilia!) both love them and it keeps them entertained for quite a while.

Gemstone name necklace. These are sooo cute – I’ve got them for my nieces and Emilia and just bought another for a birthday. The downside is that they take forever to arrive but they are adorable and great quality!

Daise foaming body wash. Both Max and Emilia LOVE these. All of the scents are so good! I mentioned this sundae one last month, but this is a fraction of the price!

It’s amazon spring sale time!

You guys loved when I shared this during prime day, so I wanted to share again. You can find all my picks for the sale here (everything is something we have or I bought during this sale!) and see a few up above. But I wanted to mention my top 10 (well, 12, because I can’t help myself) – the things that I think are stand outs and what I use daily or weekly!

Amazon spring sale favorites + the best of the best.

Here are my top 12 spring sale picks!

Hulken bag! This might be the first time it’s on amazon! I use this more than ANY bag. It’s incredible for using for trips, groceries, school stuff, work. etc. I can’t live without them.

Zero gravity chairs. I bought these last summer and we LOVE them. They are incredibly comfortable, super light and easy to move around and we all love them. 63K reviews don’t lie.

Tineco vacuum map. How can I profess my love for this? Sometimes I use this EVERY SINGLE DAY – every day of the week! It is the best. It cleans my floors like nothing else.

Oura ring. I am IN LOVE with my oura ring. The data it provides for sleep, stress, recovery, etc is incredible. Yes it tracks activity/steps and all that, but it’s all the other data that blows my mind. I wish I would have got it sooner!

Cosmetics bag. My favorite makeup bag! I’m on my second one and just love these. They open so nicely.

Weighted vest. I only have a 12lb weighted vest but I love it. I actually like wearing it around my kitchen more than just walking with it!

Dyson car vacuum. Hello, my entire life revolves around vacuums now. This is 40? I bought this yesterday during the sale!! Very pumped.

Air doctor air purifier. I’ve had these in our home since we moved in! I knew it would help in a new build especially when there was still work being done in our basement. I am so happy with these!

Lens wipes. I have a box of these at all times and I keep the packets EVERYWHERE!! Not only do I use these constantly for my own glasses and sunglasses, but even my kids use them for their sunglasses. They are excellent.

Rotary grater. Anything that requires a lot of cheese? This is what you need to use. Or even for taco night. It is fabulous.

Briotech spray. Look up the uses for hypochlorous acid spray and your mind will be blown. I am never without this now.

Bioderma shower oil. So guess what I use this for? To remove sunscreen on myself and the kids! The fact that it has a pump is gam changing. And I use that super thick white sunscreen all over them – oil cleansers are the only thing that removes it. I love this one, it lathers up, removes everything and then I go in with regular soap!

What are your top picks?! I’ve love to hear below!
