April 2022 Hot List
Beauty
Beautycounter BEYOND gloss
I’m a lip gloss girl at heart. I like the shine. And I really like the feel (it reminds me of the roller ball lip gloss of my youth). Also, I am trying to be mindful of the chemicals that are in the products I put on my face - especially my lips. Beautycounter meets all of the clean beauty standards. And the products actually work well! Anyway, this new color Brulee is amazeballs!
Fashion
Bombas Slippers
We walked into a clients home last week for a wardrobe analysis appointment, and she was wearing these. They’re the slippers you want if you don’t want to wear full on, hard sole slippers, but you still want and need more support than a sock. And bonus, they’ve got those grippers on the bottom so you won’t wipe out on a hard surface. Machine washable too! And available in 10 colors. Needless to say, I ordered them immediately.
Food
Crunchy Spring Salad with Dill Dressing
Last spring, I was at the farmers market and got radishes (they remind me of my grandpa Myron). But I needed a way to trick the fam into eating (and liking) them too. I found this salad recipe and it’s been a hit ever since. There is something about the radishes and the dill that just taste like spring.
Home
Expandable Garden Hose
While this isn’t a cool or sexy favorite thing, it truly has changed my life! Since upgrading my outdoor space with flowers, I need to now be responsible and water them daily. In past seasons, dragging out the old fashioned hose and then recoiling it back up has been the bane of my summer.
But this 50 ft (it comes up to 100 ft) hose is lightweight and expands when the water is running through and then totally collapses when the water is off. It completely shrinks up! And therefore, it is so easy to put away. So much so, I just ordered another for the front door flowers.
