HELLO GUYS! I have basically been collecting Amazon finds since JUNE! I have so many things to share with you guys so I am separating them into categories and will be sharing then over in my Instagram stories all week long! If you don’t follow me on Instagram you can follow me here! There is a ton of home/organization finds, some fall clothes, and some beauty items as well!
Clothes Finds
Green Mock Neck Sweater - I ordered this one last minute and it will be in on Wednesday! But I will try it on in stories and then report back here with my final thoughts on it!
Color Block Sweater - This sweater is SO cute and so cozy. I bought it on a whim just to see if I would like it and it was my favorite thing from the whole order. I love the color block detail but I like that it doesn’t cut you off at a weird spot with the color blocking. It probably fits true to size, but I got an XL just to have that extra length. I wanted to make sure that I could wear it with my Spanx.
Rust Orange Plaid Button Up - I went back and forth with this top! At first, I didn’t like it right when I pulled it out of the bag because it wasn’t the material I was expecting at all. I thought it was going to be a flannel but it is a dressy button-up. BUT, I do like it! I decided it could be worn with black jeans and booties and a hat and be so cute!! Definitely keeping it. I sized up to an XL for a more oversized fit.
White Knit Sweater - I tried this sweater in green about two years ago and ended up returning it. I decided to give it another try and to size up this time because people were still raving about it. I am so happy that I reordered it because I love it now! Its a cozy material and cute with shorts or jeans {depending on where you live}. As I said, I sized up to an XL and happy that I did that.
Pink Drawstring Shorts - These were an impulse buy where I swiped up on someone’s link. I love how casual these shorts are and I actually bought them to wear with my Blondie Tee from Inspired Boutique. These shorts are super cute and can be dressed up or down!
Yellow Floral Dress - Again I love this dress and this print of it so much! I also sized up to an XL in this one for the same chest issue as the black one. I think this one could be taken from Spring to Summer into Fall!
Black Floral Dress - I LOVEEEE this dress! I love the way it fits and how flattering it is. It can be taken from Spring into Fall no problem. I did size up to an XL because I got a Large and it was way too small for my chest. If you have a smaller chest I would get your normal size and you should be fine.
Mustard Yellow Dress - I was hesitant with this dress when I ordered it because I wasn’t sure how it was going to look in the chest area. It was either going to be perfect or it was going to hit in the middle of my chest and look really weird. But it ended up looking great! It’s a more still material but I like that because the dress keeps its body/shape. It doesn’t hang down on your sides. The only thing I will say is that you will need to steam it between each wear. But if that doesn’t bother you then you are set!

Organization Amazon Finds!
Who knew when we moved into our house that I was going to want to organize everrrrrrrything in here?! I guess maybe I knew? haha I love it when everything has a place and everything is in that place or I actually have a hard time getting work done! Are you this way? I know a lot of people in my family who are the same way. Anyways, I’ve seen every blogger out there organize their house with things from the Container Store and I juuuuuust can’t afford to do that. I got 99.9% of our organization items from Amazon for a much prettier price.
Spice Jars with labels - these were a great find! The premade labels had about 90% of what I needed and then I was able to use the blank circles and fill in what I needed. These were things like everything but the bagel seasoning and extra salt and extra pepper labels!
Candle Warmer - This is a candle warmer and it does work great for that but I mostly use it for my coffee in the morning! When I teach I sip on the same cup of coffee for about four hours and it tends to get cold. When I use this I get to have hot coffee the whole time I am teaching!
Egg Carton - We had one of these when we lived in Boston but somehow it got cracked in the move! We eat a lot of eggs so we got the one that holds 18 but they also have options that hold 12 eggs!
Steam Mop - This is a more recent purchase but I really do love it! It’s great that I can really get my floors clean without using a ton of chemicals. That always makes me nervous with the pups! It gets so much off the floor, you will seriously be disgusted by what it pulls up!
Lazy Susan - I actually use this one for our alcohol bottles… You can use them for pretty much anything but the bottles are heavy enough so the sides aren’t needed on the lazy susan!
OXO Pop Containers - We have a TON of these in our fridge. They are pricier but I think they are well worth it. I also feel like I should mention that we have been collecting ours for like three or maybe even four years. We didn’t just go out and buy them all at once. Some have come from Amazon, some from Target or Wayfair. I can even find them at HomeGoods sometime. But I will say the set that I linked you get the most bang for your buck. The last time I went to Target to grab three of them I left with this set because it was cheaper!
Shampoo Bottles - I LOVE these! I shared these with you right when I got them and still love them. I got them for our guest bathroom because there is only a window ledge to set them on so it looked really messy with all the random bottles. But these make the space look so much cleaner and really it’s just more aesthetically pleasing.
Food Labels - I grabbed these to put on my OXO containers and love the way that they look! They had all of the labels I needed!
Glass Bottles - I got these bottles with a pump so that I could put the syrups for my coffee in them! They work great plus they look so cute! I need to get labels for them but they are also just cute by themselves! You could also use them for soap.
Drawer Organizers - These came in handy in our kitchen, especially for our cooking utensils. But we also use them in like our drink drawer and our fast food sauces drawer. Haha these are probably two of my favorite places in the kitchen lol does anyone else have either of these drawers?!
Lazy Susans with sides - This is a different style of lazy susan that I have. I have one in my bathroom for like dry shampoo and different bottles that I have. I keep another one in our guest bathroom where I keep the things that they might need when they stay like toothpaste, face wipes, medicines. If you are curious as to what all is in it you can read the blog post I wrote here!
Chip Clips - This one didn’t make the graphic because I forgot to add it! But these chip clips are a GAME CHANGER. We always had normal clips and they just pop off the bag. These hold the chips in and keep them fresh! We love them.

Home Amazon Finds
Rugs - I have two different sizes of this rug in our guest bathroom and I love how cute they are. I love the tassels and the length of it in front of the shower! In front of the shower I have a 2x4.3 and in front of the sink is a 2x3. It’s definitely more of a cream than a white. For some reason, the photo shows more white.
Volcano Candle - I had no idea that these were sold on Amazon! I bought one from here during quarantine because I wanted it quick and it came in two days! I was so surprised. Usually, I say wait for a sale from Anthropology or Francesca’s but if you’re in a pinch… Amazon has them as well!
White pumpkins - I have these in my entry table in a dollar spot tobacco tray from Target and they fit perfectly! They are a great subtle touch of fall which I love.
White Blanket - I have had this for a very long time and I just got a new one! I ordered a white one to go with our new decor, I used to have it in grey. I actually had it as one of my giveaway items back in December or January! It is a great blanket to cuddle up with. Its as long as I am.
Meyers Acorn Spice Hand Soap - I LOVE THE SMELL OF THIS. It is so good! It is out of stock at both of our Target’s so I resorted to Amazon and I am so happy that I found some. Grab some while you can! Either the handsoap or the dish soap will make your kitchen smell like fall.
Plant Mister - I got this to water all of the succulents that I bought for our house and it’s perfect and holds enough to water all of them. Plus it doesn’t hurt that it doubles as home decor. You can read about which plants I bought here!
Speaker - I just had to add this because we have gotten so much use out of this speaker. We use it in the pool and in our garage when we are working out. I love that it is lightweight and portable. It just connects to your phone and boom you have music!
Speaker Case - I also grabbed the case just to have a place to put it! It’s less than $12 and worth it!
Floor Pillow - I bought this floor pillow for the floor up in my office. I like to put it under my desk so the boys {dogs if you are new} have something to lay on. Oscar {our bigger dog} will put his front paws and head on it and sleeps! Its also cute decor. I think I will get some more of these when I start to work on our formal living room space.

Beauty Amazon Finds
Blush Pink Brush - Honestly at first when I bought this it was literally because I liked the color but now I REALLY like this brush. It’s great because it’s a little more still than a wet brush so it really gets the tangles out but still doesn’t hurt your head.
Makeup Brush Cleaner - WOW. That is all I have to say about this stuff. It cleans my brushes in like .5 seconds and then dries in another .5 seconds. I could actually clean my brushes, put on moisturizer, and then begin putting on my face with the same brushes. I am so impressed with how well it cleaned them. 10/10 recommend!
Benefit Gimmie Brow - I love this stuff! I still use a pencil to fill in my brows before using this to get a fuller look. But if I am just throwing on some tinted moisturizer I will swipe this through my brows and be happy. It looks great.
Sun Bum Tinted Chapstick with Sunscreen - I love to use this stuff when I will be working outside in the yard or hanging out at the pool. It’s great to put on just to make sure that your lips won’t get chapped. That is literally the worst feeling! The color is also so pretty on!
BEAKEY Blender - I saw these allllllll over Instagram, people were saying that they were a great option for a beauty blender and they were right! I love these! I like to use them for my under eye correcter that I use. I also like to use it for powder under my eyes. Make sure you always get them damp!
Golden Star Beauty Tanning Lotion - I have been testing this tanning lotion for about a month and a half. I am so impressed with how good of a product it is. It is easy to apply, it comes with a glove. It smells so good, I think it smells like strawberry pop tarts! It doesn’t come off on my sheets and it gradually fades away. I am not left with weird blotchy spots on different parts of my skin which were the thing I was most worried about with self-tanner. I wanted to make sure it didn’t look super fake!
type: A Deodorant - I have been using this deodorant since June when we lived in Boston. I LOVE it. I love that it is aluminum-free and that it is sweat activating. When I start to work out it really starts working for me. Plus it doesn’t hurt that it smells like the avatar ride at Animal Kingdom.. haha. It also is easy to use. It is in like a tube almost like toothpaste that you push up and it comes out the top in three holes.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - This is another product that I bought back in Boston. It is just a small container but it is supposed to help with cellulite. I’m not 100% sold on that part yet {I need to remember to use it more consistently!} but I do know that it smells AMAZING. I would recommend it for the smell of it alone.

Teaching Amazon Finds
For this, I put together a whole blog post that I will be linking here! I will drop the graphic and links below but I go into a ton of detail in the VIPKid Rewards blog post! In that post, I talk about my favorite rewards for each level that I teach. If you aren’t a teacher there are some great toys for your kiddos. Again, you can find that blog post here!
