I’m often asked, “what are your most loved products?” So I wanted to start a monthly thing here on the blog where I share the products I reach for the most each month. This should be easy considering I supposedly use them often, right? I thought it would be fun to add some personal life highlights of the month too!
Since we are sort of early in September – what a fabulous month by the way – my birthday month; let’s start with August. August was awesome, the girls started back at school, Jasmine being at Penn State as a Sophomore and Erica is a Junior in high school. Jas moved into her very first apartment – a big milestone – and Erica has started her journey into college preparation + scored 40 points higher on her last SAT than the previous. Handclaps for Erica!! My youngest brother celebrated his 46th birthday and if you are as grateful as I try to be – being gifted another year of life with the year we just had is a HUGE blessing!!! Happy Birthday, Markos!
I think that’s about all that happened in August for now let’s get into the product sharing…
