My Favorite Things This July
These little Favorite Things posts are so fun to put together, but I’m also loving the side effect of the gratitude I get from doing it. When was the last time you sat down and thought about what’s bringing you joy this month? There’s no reason to get too introspective about it, though you can if you like! By simply acknowledging the little things that put a smile on your face, you’ll actually feel happier! Cool, right?
Here’s a list of my 8 favorite things this month to give you some inspiration.
8 fun favorites for July
1. July Summer Playlist
It’s a constant party with this one! Dance and groove and enjoy these upbeat tunes at your next BBQ or when you need a burst of feel-good energy. Listen on Apple or Listen on Spotify.
2. Prebiotic Bubbles
This prebiotic sparkly drink has only 20 calories & 5g of sugar. It’s the perfect summer alternative to soda, plus good for your digestion and belly. A little bird let me know that they’re also great with vodka!
3. Tequila Paloma
This is my new favorite grown-up summer drink. Over ice, pour 1.5oz of white tequila, juice of half a lime, and top with equal parts of grapefruit juice and Squirt or club soda. It’s refreshing and not too sweet.
4. Summer Reads for Days
Have you read Jennifer Weiner’s books yet? I grabbed her book That Summer from the library just based on it’s cover (the joys of wrangling toddlers!), and I loved it. I then proceeded to check out ALL of her books from the library and I’m making my way through all of these light, fun, easy summer reads.
5. Perfect Summer Skin
A cult favorite, Best Skin Days is a 5-in-1 skin beautifier. It’s a serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, sheer coverage, and blue light protector all in one. You can even send a photo to their consultants, and they’ll match your skin tone. I’ve been wearing this every day, and it’s got good enough coverage without feeling heavy and caked on, especially on hot summer days. Click here to get 20% off with my affiliate link.
6. Can Top Sealers
Call me lame, but these can covers are my newest “must have” for the kitchen. And since you know how I feel about too much stuff, you know they’re good! You can finally say ‘goodbye’ to tinfoil on your canned goods in the fridge, because these covers have three sizes of rings in the lid to fit small, medium or large cans. I give them extra bonus points for the bright colors that make me happy.
7. The Best Coffee Creamer
Nut Pods is the first non-dairy coffee creamer that actually tastes creamy to me, and they are delicious without too many calories. With just 10 calories per TBSP, I get a yummy coffee without a sugar spike or an upset tummy from the dairy. Right now I’m all about the Toasted Marshmallow flavor. For a fun treat, I mixed some with Peanut Butter powder and Greek yogurt to make a fluffer-nutter. And yes, I’ll be doing it again!
8. Sparkly Pool Fun
It sparkles! Need I say more? This blow-up pool tube will make all of your pool parties that much more fun, because there’s no such thing as too much glitter.
