What I Ordered from Amazon in January 2025

*This post contains affiliate links.  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Hey y’all, happy Monday!  January was a sizeable month for Amazon orders because a) I had Christmas gift cards to spend, b) I started purchasing items that fifth grade is contributing for our upcoming school auction, and c) Olivia and I both needed formal dresses for upcoming events.  Here’s what we purchased…

 

Formal Dress Option #1

Brian and I attend a ball every year, so I have been hunting for formal dresses.  For the past couple of years I’ve opted for short dresses, but this year, I decided to go for a floor length gown.  The event is black-tie, so floor-length is probably more appropriate anyway.  I came across this dress, and y’all, it is STUNNING in person.  Stunning.  The quality is excellent, the ruffles on the shoulder are well-made and they’re stiff so they won’t lose their shape.  The dress has a side zipper to get in and out easier, and the slit is a zipper so it’s completely adjustable.  You can zip it all the way down to the floor for no slit, you can unzip it all the way to the top of the thigh, or you can leave it zipped anywhere in between to customize the length of the slit exactly to your liking.  The right shoulder strap without the ruffle is also adjustable making it easy to get the perfect fit.  I loved this dress so much in black that I decided to order it in red and pink to see which color I prefer for the ball, and I’m having trouble deciding.  I’ve worn a black dress nearly every year for the last 15+ years we’ve been attending, so I was thinking of changing it up this year.  Thoughts?






 

Formal Dress Option #2

Y’all, I LOVED this dress, too.  It is gorgeous, it fit me like a glove, and the feathers are just so unique!!  The one thing I didn’t like about it (and the primary reason I didn’t go with this option) was because the train was longer than I expected, and I didn’t want to have to worry about it getting stepped on constantly all night… especially on the dance floor.  This dress is awesome, though – well made, it has a back zipper for easy in and out, and both straps are adjustable to get the perfect fit.  It’s backless, too, which I love.  it also comes in other colors.

 


Daddy / Daughter Dance Dress Option #1

Olivia picked out two different dresses to try on for the Daddy / Daughter Dance.  The theme for the dance is Masquerade, so we’re going ultra fancy with décor of black and gold and silver.  Olivia said she wanted a black dress, and this one ended up being the winner.  It is truly stunning!!  The dress is excellent quality, it comes in tons of colors, and the tulle is super thick and dramatic.  She looks so beautiful in it.  I can’t believe this will be her last Daddy / Daughter dance.  :o(

 


Daddy / Daughter Dance Dress Option #2

Oh my word, this was the other dress we ordered for Olivia, and y’all, it is DARLING.  It’s very similar to the first one in that the top is sequins and the bottom is tulle, but this one has straps that criss-cross in the back and it has a big bow in the back.  The quality is fantastic, the bow is (easily) removeable, and it also comes in tons of colors.

 


Bar Cart

I’m doing yet another bar cart for our school auction, and this year I opted for a smaller, gold one rather than the larger rustic versions that I’ve done in previous years.  This one is so elegant, and it’s the perfect size. 

 


Wine Chiller / Bottle Opener / Bottle Stopper Set

This gold wine chiller is gorgeous in person, the quality is amazing, and it’s going to be the perfect addition to the bar cart.

 


Silly Wine Glass

My friend who is the other fifth grade room mom came across these wine glasses, and we thought it would be a cute (and comical) addition to the bar cart since the auction is for a Christian school.  We only bought one, and we’ll probably add a nice set of wine glasses with stems to go along with them.

 


Pink and White / Green and White Baker’s Twine

I bought these two spools of baker’s twine to tie Olivia’s Valentine’s Day goodie bags closed.  She is obsessed with Wicked right now, and since she did Taylor Swift Valentines last year, she wants to do Wicked ones this year.  Everything we’re buying is pink and green (of course), so we’re going to tie each bag closed with pink and green baker’s twine.

 



Floating Acrylic Shelves

These were on my December Amazon recap, and I ended up buying two more this month to add to my office wall so the shelves can go from the floor to the ceiling.  I’m incredibly pleased with how it turned out, and I LOVE the shelves.  They’re thick, they’re crystal clear, they have the perfect amount of depth so I can layer the items on them while styling, they are so classy and minimalistic, and they were super easy to install.  They came with every single thing needed to install them (other than a drill), and I cannot recommend them enough.  They would be perfect in a playroom, a kid’s bedroom, or any area where you’d like to display books, records, or any other decorative items.

 


Dave Matthews Band Journal

When styling my bookshelves, I knew I wanted to make the area a tribute to music, so I used one of my Christmas gift cards to purchase this journal.  I wish DMB had some kind of official coffee table book, but they don’t, so I went with this journal instead.  They’re my favorite band of all-time, so I had to have them somewhere on the wall one way or another.  ;o)  This journal has the lyrics to their song Crash on the front and the lyrics are in the shape of a record.  The design paired with the gold foil on the black background is perfect for the aesthetic I’m going for in there.

 


Victory Over Vestibular Migraine

This book was highly recommended to me a couple of months ago by someone who reached out to me about my vertigo and dizziness and tension and headaches.  She said that she read and implemented much of this book and that it has changed her life.  While I’m thinking now that the root of my problem may be my atlas (time will tell), I do think that it is causing vestibular migraines, so I’m going to dig into this book to learn everything that I can.  These days, you really have to be your own advocate for medical issues.  This is not the first time I’ve had to do this, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

 


Bible Pens

My pink Bible pen ran out of ink since I have used it so much this past year, so I bought a backup pack of pens to replace the ones as they run out.  These are awesome because they don’t bleed through the very thin Bible pages!

 


Taylor Swift Gem Art Bookmarks

Olivia loved the first set of these that she got for Christmas, so I bought this second set for her, too.  Each set comes with four bookmarks (they have a slit in them so they slide over the top corner of the page in your book and rest there), and you get to add the jewels to them.  So it’s a craft that’s also functional.  My girl LOVES a craft, so I’m going to give these to her for Valentine’s Day.  It’s actually the perfect gift since they’re heart-shaped.  <3

 


Braces Flossers

The orthodontist gave Jacob and I both the Platypus Flossers after we got our braces, and they’re the best things ever because they make flossing so easy.  Well, they’re crazy expensive, too, so I was excited to see these on Amazon that are much more affordable.  These make flossing with braces quick and easy, and it was time for us to restock since Jacob just got braces, too.


 

Wicked Valentine’s Day Card

As I said before, Olivia is obsessed with Wicked right now, so I thought it was only appropriate to get her a Wicked themed Valentine’s Day card.  This is technically not a Valentine’s Day card (it’s blank inside), and it could be used for many different events, so it’s also great for birthdays, thank you notes, and many other things.  When you purchase this card, you’re also supporting a small business, so that is a win in itself!

 


Happy Monday, y’all!

Five on Friday - My Top Five Amazon Bestsellers of 2024

*This post contains affiliate links.  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

As an Amazon Creator, Amazon sends me a nice little recap at the end of each year sharing how many times readers clicked my links, how many items readers purchased from my links, my best sellers from each month, and my overall best sellers from the year (among other stats). 

Last January, I shared my Top 5 most purchased items in 2023, so I thought it was only fitting to share my Top 5 most purchased items in 2024!  Just like last year, one of the items was a link that I shared from a blog post SIX years ago, and another one of the items was a link from a different blog post also posted six years ago.  It’s still mind-blowing to me that both of those posts are still making their rounds on the internet all these years later.

There was a little blip in my data this year, though… my #1 seller is “no longer available” and therefore, it won’t even show me on my report what the item was!!  Such a bummer!  I’ve gone back into the report multiple times since the end of December hoping it would show up, but unfortunately, the info is still unavailable. 

With that said, I’m going to share my Top SIX best sellers of 2024, since the #1 spot is blank.  LAME.  Haha. 

And if you want to see the entire list of my Top 20 most purchased items, you can check it out here in my Amazon Storefront.

O N E – ????

I tried to go back and look at months and months of data to figure this one out, but sadly, I couldn’t.  Since the item is NLA, I’m sure it probably wouldn’t show in those old reports either since it won’t show in the yearly recap.  So, I guess it’s just going to remain a mystery to all of us… as well as a disappointment.  Haha.

 

T W O – Pendaflex File Folders

My #2 spot in 2023 was hanging file folders, and my #3 spot in 2023 were these standard (non-hanging) file folders.  Well, in 2024, the non-hanging file folders moved up to the #2 spot.  These are selling like hotcakes because of this blog post, because apparently y’all like to organize like I do.  ;o)  And the price is unbeatable.

 


T H R E E – Martha Stewart / Avery Sticky Tabs

Coming in at #3 for 2024 are these sticky tabs by Martha Stewart / Avery.  These tabs come in two different sizes, the colors are beautiful, and they can be positioned and repositioned as many times as needed, allowing you to add tabs to regular notebooks, notepads, etc.  I wrote about these originally in this post, and it’s still popular after all these years.

 


F O U R – Gold Bond Age Renew Neck and Chest Firming Cream

Oh, I had a feeling this was going to be on the list!  This item can be purchased at most stores, but Amazon typically has the best price.  I started using this a couple of years ago, and it has made a huge difference in the skin around my chest and neck.  My neck and chest skin is rougher, more wrinkly, and more uneven compared to the rest of my body (probably from years and years of exposure to the sun), and this cream has worked wonders on smoothing it out.  I just apply a small amount (about the size of a pea) to my neck and chest every night before bed and it works its magic while I sleep.  One tube is a little pricey, but it lasts for months.

 


F I V E – Turmeric

This turmeric was my #5 best seller of 2023 and it’s my #5 best seller of 2024, too! 

I started taking this in summer 2023 and I cannot say enough incredible things about it.  It has made miraculous differences in my body, and I’ll never go another day without taking it.  Here is my original post about it in case you missed it:

Ohhhhh turmeric.  Where to even begin?  I am totally convinced that this supplement is a gift straight from heaven.  Of all of the supplements that I’ve started taking, turmeric has had the biggest impact on my overall health and wellness.  I’ve been taking it for seven weeks now, and when I say that it has made a huge difference in my life, I mean it.  By taking just one capsule a day, the inflammation in my body has decreased dramatically.

While some inflammation can be a good thing (it’s what helps our body heal from injury), too much inflammation can be a terrible thing causing pain in the body, chronic insomnia or fatigue, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders, swelling, weight gain or weight loss, infections, and stomach irregularities like constipation and diarrhea.  Chronic inflammation in the body can even damage healthy cells, tissues, and organs that can eventually lead to cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases. 

For some reason I have been experiencing symptoms of chronic inflammation in my body for more than a decade, and my recent bloodwork most definitely reflected that.  I haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause, but until then, turmeric has become my best friend.

Some of the symptoms I have from inflammation are major swelling in my feet and ankles every single day, finger swelling (especially after a walk or run) – so bad sometimes that I can’t even twist my wedding bands around on my finger, let alone remove them – and my fingers are SO painful after a run, and the area around my c-section scar has always been puffy and swollen (from nine years ago).   

I also get lots of headaches (typically on the right side of my head), and I have a lot of pain in general, down the back of my head and neck, and also in my SI joint and my sacrum since they were damaged during childbirth 12 years ago.  My SI joint was bothering me so much earlier this summer that I was planning on getting another steroid shot.

Until I started taking the turmeric.

Since starting this magical supplement seven weeks ago, everything has improved… and I actually started seeing the benefits around the four-day mark of taking it.  Here are some of the things that have happened to me since I started taking it…

My feet and ankles no longer swell.  This first picture was taken at 7:36 PM on September 6… two days before I started taking the turmeric.  This is what my feet, toes, and ankles looked like every single day at the end of the day… and sometimes even at the beginning of the day.  So much swelling.  It literally looks like somebody took my ankle and blew it up like a rubber glove.  The skin is all smooth because it’s stretched so tight, and you can’t even see my ankle bone.  This has been my life nearly every single day for years.

This second picture was taken at 5:21 PM on September 21, almost two weeks after I started taking the turmeric.  I’m wearing the same jeans, the same shoes, and I’d had a similar day to the day I’d had when I snapped the picture above.  But look at the difference.  No swelling.  No smooth, tight skin.  And you can see my ankle bone.  It’s an actual normal-looking foot.

Here's the side-by-side so you can really see the difference:

Another benefit I’ve noticed is that my fingers no longer swell when I walk or run, and I now have zero pain in them after a workout.  Before, my fingers would swell so terribly that I couldn’t even twist my wedding rings on my finger, and now I can slip them right off immediately after a run.  In a way, this has actually become a problem.  Haha.  My fingers have shrunk so much that my wedding rings no longer fit… they are HUGE now and I’m going to have to get them resized because I’m worried my engagement ring is going to go flying off one of these days.  That has almost happened several times already.  Haha. 

In addition to that, my wrists have also shrunk.  I never even realized it, but apparently, I had swelling there, too.  Since starting the turmeric, I have had to start wearing my Apple Watch band one notch tighter, and I can almost wear it two notches tighter.

My c-section scar is no longer puffy and swollen.  It just looks like a regular scar.

And my stomach has been flatter since I started taking the turmeric, too, so I’m assuming I was experiencing some kind of inflammation in my gut as well.

My SI joint has stopped hurting COMPLETELY (although, in full disclosure I’m also doing some additional stretching, so that could be part of it), but what a Godsend.  I have been able to walk and run with zero pain and I’m so glad that I won’t have to do the steroid shot again.

My headaches have also decreased significantly. 

Sounds too good to be true, I know.  I can barely believe it myself.   

This supplement has truly been a Godsend for me, and in addition to helping reduce inflammation, it has tons of other benefits without any negative side effects.  So, if you have high inflammation in your body, issues with swelling, pain with old injuries, headaches, or just any other random pain in general, I cannot recommend starting turmeric enough!  Turmeric is also supposed to be excellent for arthritis, digestive disorders, allergies, respiratory issues, and depression.  There are also studies that suggest it could help prevent cancer among other things.  It honestly sounds like a miracle supplement!

I use this Nature’s Bounty brand because it’s non-GMO and it’s free from artificial colors, flavors, artificial sweeteners, sugar, starch, milk, lactose, gluten, wheat, yeast, fish, and sodium.  I only take one capsule every morning with breakfast and that’s it.  It’s super affordable, and worth every single penny.  I will be taking this for the rest of my life.

All of the things I said in my original post above still hold true today… more than a year later.  I still take this supplement daily and I will continue to do so foreverrrr.

 


S I X – Dream Pairs Girls Western Boots

Well, this one was unexpected.  Haha.  We bought these cute boots for Olivia’s Daddy / Daughter dance last year as the theme was “Denim and Diamonds,” and apparently y’all loved them as much as we do because they came in the #6 spot for 2024.  They come in different colors, are very affordable, and they are soooo comfortable.  My girl hates pretty much all shoes that are not tennis shoes, but she loves these. 


  

I wasn’t going to share further data, but the #7 item is so good that I thought it needed to be shared again.  This document safe bag came in at #7 even though I only just started posting about it towards the end of the year… y’all snatched many of these up last year!  Preparing for our homes to be destroyed by a fire and/or another natural disaster is not something anyone ever wants to think about, but it’s important to be prepared for it in the event that it ever does happen.  While tangible items aren’t nearly as important as humans and pets, there are a few tangible items that are important – birth certificates, social security cards, passports, laptops with sensitive information, etc. – and they should always be stored in a safe space.  This document bag is fireproof up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and it is water resistant making it the perfect place to store those irreplaceable items.  It includes 4 passport mesh bags, 16 card slots, 4 disc pockets, 7 folder layers for documents, and one main pocket of large space for other valuables such as laptops, iPads, jewelry, etc.  It is portable and has a strong handle so you can grab it and go quickly, and it has a combination lock to keep everything secure. 



And my #1 seller from 2023 (literally every single month of 2023) was my #10 seller this year, so it still made the list!  I have sold hundreds upon hundreds of these document boxes since this post went live six years ago, and they’re still going strong all these years later!  It’s the long length and the split lid for me.  ;o)

What I Ordered from Amazon in December 2024

*This post contains affiliate links.  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Happy New Year, friends!  I unintentionally took off the first few days of the month – that is what happens when sickness runs rampant in your house in the month of December and you just can’t get it together – but I’m back today with a supersized post of all the things I purchased last month from Amazon.  I should be back on my regular posting schedule now, too, so stay tuned, because I have lots of fun stuff coming… New Year’s goals, my word for the year, recapping last year’s goals, and much, much more!

December was a huge month for Amazon purchases since Christmas was right around the corner.  I had intended to purchase more in brick and mortar stores this year, but then I got Covid nearly midway through the month, and I was stuck at home, shopping online.  What can you do? 

Here’s what I purchased in the month of December…


 

Clipfolio

I found this exact clipfolio for Olivia at Homegoods in a different design, and I loved it so much that I went back to Homegoods to grab one for myself only to find that they were all sold out.  Thankfully, hers had a brand name on it – Steel Mill & Co – so I was able to find them on the internet, but nobody had this exact clipfolio with the cute patterns I’d seen in the store.  This clipfolio is unique (and different than the others made by this brand) because it has a wider spine, and it holds, not one, but two notepads – one on each side – rather than just having a pocket on the left side to hold a few things.  I decided to use one of these for my prayer journal this year because I plan to have one pad of paper for all of the things I’m thankful for and one pad of paper for all of my prayers and intentions.  This particular clipfolio with the wide spine and room for two notepads only comes in two designs, so I chose this one as I liked it better than the other option.  The design isn’t my favorite, but it’ll have to do since function is more important at this point.  The clipfolio itself is beautiful, though, and it comes with a gold clip on the outside, a pen holder, and slots to hold two different notepads.  One of the notepads contains a daily planning page, but I’ll be removing those and replacing them with my own since I won’t be using it as a planner.  I also love that it has a rubber band attached that keeps it all together when closed.


 

Legal Pads

Since I needed my own notepads for my prayer journal, I bought this pack on Amazon.  I’ve always hated legal pads because they’re usually wide-ruled, and I’m a college-ruled gal, but I found this pack of college ruled legal pads and they are fantastic!  They’re also made from 100% recycled materials.  They come in a pack of 12, so I gave Olivia a couple of them because she squealed with delight when she saw them… she is definitely her mother’s daughter getting excited over a new pad of paper.  Haha.


 

Taylor Swift Style by Sarah Chapelle

This book went on super sale (HALF OFF!) just before Christmas (and it’s still half off!) so I snagged two of them… one for Olivia as a Christmas gift and one for myself.  If you don’t follow Sarah Chapelle, she is huge on Instagram because she posts every detail from every outfit that Taylor Swift wears when she’s out and about.  She put together this book, and it is seriously beautiful.  It chronicles many of Taylor Swift’s outfits through all of her eras, and the author explains the “why” behind each of the outfits – the deeper meanings behind why Taylor chooses to wear what she wears.  This hard cover edition is stunning with over 200 photos, gilded gold edges, foiled color accents, and colored endpapers, and I can’t wait to have some time to flip through mine.


 

Bracelet Holder Option #1

Olivia has been making Rainbow Loom bracelets for everyone for nearly a year now, so I have quite a collection from her.  I wear one every single day, so she’s made me a bunch in various colors and patterns to match any and every outfit.  I had all of them laying in a tiny dish next to my bathroom sink, and the dish was overflowing, so I wanted to find some kind of bracelet holder to store them so I could see them all.  I ended up ordering three different holders to try, and this was the one that I decided to keep.  I love that this one utilizes vertical space rather than precious horizontal space, and the bracelets cling to the edges and don’t slide down on each other making it the perfect option since I can see every single bracelet.


 

Bracelet Holder Option #2

This option is very similar to option #1, but it utilizes horizontal space rather than vertical space.  I love the sleek look of this one, and it would be great for someone who has plenty of space, but I just didn’t have enough room on my bathroom counter for it.  This one was returned.


 

Bracelet Holder Option #3

This was the third and final option.  I liked this one because of the thinness of the bracelet holder… I knew that would make it easier to remove bracelets from the insides than having them on a thicker holder, but again, this one took up too much horizontal space.  It actually took up a lot of vertical space, too, as it’s really tall.  All three options were nice, though… it just depends on what you’re looking for to suit your own needs.


 

Stanley Straw Cover

After recently being sick and then having sickness in the house again, I decided to buy a straw cover for my Stanley.  I bring that thing everywhere, and there’s no telling how many germs get in and around my straw, so I decided that when I take it out in public (like Olivia’s class parties – yuck) I’m going to start using a straw cover.  This bow straw cover is DARLING and it comes in tons of different colors, and it’s just perfect to keep my straw covered and protected from unwanted germs.


 

2025 Calendar

I keep a calendar on my bulletin board in my office right by my desk, and I refer to it often while working on the blog.  It was time for a new calendar for 2025, so I went with this one as the designs are pretty neutral and lovely.


 

Floating Acrylic Shelves Option #1

After purchasing two beautiful books in November and December (both about Taylor Swift – ha!), I decided that I want to be able to display them somewhere where they can be enjoyed.  I’m a HUGE coffee table book lover and we have various books all over the house.  I typically stack them in threes or place them, spines out, on bookshelves, but this time I wanted something that would showcase the beautiful covers of the books.  I have one small wall in my office that’s bare other than my oil painting that I did when I was a child, and I always put my Christmas tree there during the Christmas season.  When I took my tree down the other day, I thought the room looked so boring without it, so I decided to grab some floating shelves to showcase some books and other cute things there when my Christmas tree isn’t up.  I bought two options – this option is a pack of four, 16.5 inches wide, and 3.7 inches deep – and they hold a lot of books!  I ended up keeping this option because they were wider than the other ones that I purchased and they are deeper, so I’ll be able to overlap even the thickest of books.


 

Floating Acrylic Shelves Option #2

This option came in a pack of 6, but they’re only 15 inches wide and 1.73 inches deep.  Since the depth of these was not very big, I couldn’t overlap any of my books, so I decided to send these back.  These would be great for thin children’s books, though!  They would also be PERFECT for showcasing records. 


 

Taylor Swift Gem Art Bookmarks

I bought this set of gem art bookmarks for Olivia for Christmas, and they ended up being such a blessing because it gave her something to do while she was recovering from Flu A that she developed on Christmas morning.  These bookmarks are precious and easy to make.  You just pull off the plastic to reveal a sticky surface, and then you use the tool to place the jewels (all numbered so you know what goes where) on the sticky surface.  The bookmarks have a soft fabric backing, and the corner opens so you can slide the bookmark over the top corners of your pages to hold your place in a book.  These are seriously cool!


 

Taylor Swift Gem Art Bookmarks #2

Since she loved the first pack so much, I got her this second pack for her birthday (that’s coming up soon!) as they’re designs from different albums than the ones in the first packs.


 

Digital Camera

This digital camera was a Christmas gift for Olivia, and she has been so excited to have it.  She loves taking pictures, but she doesn’t have a phone yet, so we thought this would be the perfect gift for her.  It takes high quality pictures and videos, and now she can transfer all of them to her computer easily and print the ones she wants to display.  The camera is highly rated and it comes in an array of colors.


 

Digital Camera Case

We also bought this case for her.  It has a hard shell, so it protects the camera fully.  One side holds the camera, and the other side is large enough to hold all of the camera accessories – the charging cable, the SD container, the extra wrist strap, etc.  But overall, the case is small enough to carry in a purse or bag.


 

Wire Flower Art

This was another gift for Olivia for Christmas.  She hasn’t put this one together yet, but it is a really unique craft that makes a beautiful display when you’re done with it.


 

Taylor Swift Necklace

I loved this TS necklace because it looks like a friendship bracelet, and it has a little guitar charm (perfect for our little guitar player) and a guitar pick with a Taylor Swift quote engraved on it. 


 

Loom Band Massive Refill Kit

As I said earlier in the post, Olivia is a bracelet making machine, so she needed some refills on the loom bands as she was pretty much out of every color.  This pack comes with 26 different colors of bands for a total of 12,730+ bands, 500 clips, and 6 hooks… all for just under $16.  That is SUCH a great deal, and the bands are excellent quality even though the brand is generic.


 

Cat Sticky Notes

Olivia loves cats and she loves paper products, so I bought these cute cat sticky notes to put in her stocking.


 

Muffin Tin

I only have one muffin tin that I got years ago from Bed, Bath and Beyond, and every time I make cupcakes/muffins, I’m annoyed that I have to bake them in two batches because I only have one pan that holds 12.  I bought this one hoping that it would nest inside my other one, but it was much smaller, so I sent it back.  I ended up finding my exact muffin tin on Bed, Bath, and Beyond’s website, so I ordered that one instead.


 

Girls Underwear

Our church’s outreach center posts an Amazon wish list every year at Christmastime for needs in our community.  I went on and purchased several of the items that nobody else had purchased and this was one of them.


 

Kids’ Toothbrushes

This was another purchase for our church’s outreach center.


 

Baby Shampoo

This was another purchase for our church’s outreach center, and we purchased several bottles.


 

Baby Lotion

This was another purchase for our church’s outreach center, and we purchased several bottles.


 

Magnesium

I started taking this magnesium last year for its muscle relaxing benefits, and I was in need of a refill.


 

Turmeric

I started taking this turmeric for its inflammation-reducing benefits (and OMG does it work!), and I was in need of a refill.


 

Multi-Vitamin

I’ve been taking these multi-vitamins for a few months since they discontinued my other ones, and I was in need of a refill.


 

Dentastix

Maui was in need of a refill of her nightly treats, so these were purchased again this month, too.


 

Happy Monday, y’all!
