Random Recent Faves

It’s been a really hot minute since I’ve shared just a random selection of recent faves but I was just feeling it today and thought I’d throw a few out for ya today. While October is probably my very favorite month, September is definitely in the running. After a really hot summer, I really am hoping September delivers some fall teasers at least for a few days.

Salt & Honey candle #target

I love a good candle but I am also very sensitive to smells. When my frend Rachel shared this candle I knew I had to give it a try and it has been the perfect scent. It has a light but very homey smell and the container is so pretty. There are a few other scents in this same container if varying colors but I’m loving the Salted Honey scent.

fed and fit Carne Guisada #meals #dinner

If you are looking to spice up dinner with some soul filling mexican food, this carne guisada dish created by Fed & Fit is amazing. I made it for the 2nd time last night and we devoured it. While it does require some cook time for tender meat, it’s totally worth the wat! I doubled the recipe so we can have leftovers. I sign up for the weekly meal plan emails from Fed & Fit and have grabbed so many recipes of hers to try. Almost all have been wins for my family.

I know I already shared this new to me makeup as part of my What’s up Wednesday post last week, but I am serious when I tell you I’m in love with this makeup. While I didn’t purchase the set shown above, I did pick up the blush in soft peach, bronzer in seine and highligher in cava, along with the brush. They have several sets that can be bundled for a discount and I will defintiely be grabbing more products next time. Merit beauty made my makeup routine so quick and easy and I seriously have received compliments on my makeup which I’m not really sure has ever happened.

Bioptimizers

In the past few years as I transitioned from peri-menopause through menopause, sleep has become a top priority. Especially after my moms Alzheimers diagnosis and learning what a significant role sleep plays in our brain health, I wanted to insure a good nights sleep. While I did try hormone replacement therapy two different times and it did work to help me sleep, I didn’t want to stay on it forever. Magnesium is one of the supplements I added to help with sleep but it’s important to take the right kind as diffferent forms work for different things. Magnesium breakthrough is a new to me brand that contains 7 types of magnesium and not only has it helped with sleep but it has also helped me be more regular which is sometimes an issue with a high protein diet.

re-lyte

Hydration is always important, but if you haven’t heard about the brutal summer we have had in Texas, it’s definitely sucked. I struggle as it is to drink enough water so adding a supplement to one of my stanley cup chugs during the day really helps but I was not happy with how much sugar was in another brand I was trying. Re-lyte has been a great alternative and I’ve been using for about 6 months now. I also tried LMNT and loved the flavors but did not love the price (1.50 per serving) compared to about .60 per serving for the canister of re-lyte hydration.

Hope whatever you are doing this weekend you are finding some joy in the in betweens!
