When you post recipes online, you get asked a lot "what brand?", "which one?", and "where do I buy it?" I gotcha! Here is a list of some of the things I bought this month, what I'm loving right now, and how I'm using it. All with a handy link to make your shopping super easy!

DIY & Beauty Supplies

Castor Oil: I've been really loving oil cleansing & exfoliating scrubs lately. And castor oil is my favorite base. Great for skin and doesn't clog pores.
- For oil cleansing, I mix castor oil with jojoba oil and add 15 drops Purification Essential Oil in a 2 oz dropper bottle. I wash my face with a small amount of the oil mix. Get all the instructions here.
- For my exfoliating scrub, my go-to right now is equal parts (about 1/2 tablespoon each) castor oil, sugar, and ground coffee with a few drops of Thieves essential oil (smells like pumpkin spice!). I've been making a fresh batch a couple times a week before I shower and using it as a body scrub. My feet are so soft right now!

I bought a new satin pillowcase. I'm a big of the animal print! I do have to guard it every night because my 8 year daughter is trying to steal it! My skin and hair love satin and silk pillowcases. Learn about why your hair & skin need a satin or silk pillowcase here.
I ordered a new set of dermaplaning razors. I got these. Needing these razors is new to me and started after I turned 40. Completely changes how makeup looks on my face. Learn more here.

It's been several years since I did a clarifying mask on my hair and it was showing! So I grabbed a jar of applesauce and clarified my hair yesterday. My hair is soooo soft today and has so much more volume. Learn about using applesauce to clarify your hair here.
My favorite breakfast right now is overnight oats. Chia seeds are so good for healthy hair. My hair is noticeably different when I eat chia seeds regularly. One of these bags lasts a few months for me. (Don't worry! I have my favorite overnight oats recipes coming on the blog soon!)
If you haven't heard, the 2nd edition of my eBook The No Poo Method is available now!

Lifestyle Favorites

This ruffle sleeve t shirt with an over-sized pocket is my most worn clothing item recently! Pretty much as soon as I wash it, I wear it again. It's comfy, cute, and goes with lots of different style bottoms (jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts). I have it in yellow (currently out of stock but there are several other cute colors).
It's sweater weather and this is my favorite sweater right now. I have it in the khaki color. Bonus! As I'm writing this, it's on sale and has an available coupon!
I've always folded my jeans, leggings, and pants but decided to switch it up & hang them. I got these hangers. I was skeptical that they could hold the big load of 10 pairs of pants per hanger. But they work!!

Kid Favorites

My 8 year daughter started rock climbing and bought this chalk bag.
Mabel's new favorite hobby is clay. She *had* to have the set with the sculpting tools. I got her this set and she's been crafting all day everyday!
Mabel has started taking hot lunches to school. It took a few tries to find a thermos that is cute and doesn't leak. This one is the winner!
