LAURA GELLER Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation
I absolutely love this powder foundation! It's perfect for days when I want a little coverage but don't feel like doing a full face of makeup. I also use it on full coverage days to set my liquid foundation. I love the beautiful finish it gives!
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Seductress
This has become my absolute favorite lipstick!! It stays put for hours, even through eating and drinking, and the nude pink is a perfect tone for that "your lips but better" look. I have this same formula in 3 other shades!
OLOV Electric Body Hair Trimmer
Y'ALL. This trimmer is a MUST for the bikini area! It doesn't pull or tug the hair or nick the skin, and it gives a super close trim.
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
My holy grail blush, this gives a slight shimmery finish and blends out beautifully in the most gorgeous peachy-pink shade. So flattering on a lot of skintones!
Hanes Boys EcoSmart Fleece Sweatpants
Sawyer HATES wearing jeans (denim feels scratchy on his skin), so these are our saving grace. Sawyer wears these every day when it's cool outside.
Skechers Women's Go Run Consistent 2.0 Advantage Sneaker
I just bought myself new tennis shoes for the first time in 5 years since my other pair literally had no tread left on the bottom. I am in LOVE!! These are so lightweight and feel like a hug on my foot! Super comfy and affordable!
MAYBELLINE Color Tattoo Longwear Multi-Use Eye Shadow Stix
The older I get the more I want to simplify my makeup routine. I absolutely LOVE these eyeshadow sticks! You just put a little on your lid and blend it out with your finger and the color stays all day! I have this gorgeous green shade and I'm obsessed.
e.l.f. 16HR Camo Concealer
My absolute holy grail concealer! I've been using this same formula for the last 4 years. It covers my dark circles and stays put without creasing, even on my oily skin!
NYX Setting Spray - Matte Finish
I have oily skin, so I like to set my makeup with a setting spray to help keep it in place. This one is incredible for locking it in and keeping the colors from fading, and definitely keeps my shine down.
Hanes Women's Originals SuperSoft Loungewear Set
Who doesn't love a cute, comfy matching set? This is perfect for hanging out at home or pj's, and it's even cute enough to wear out to run errands without looking like you're in WalMart in your pajamas!
Minimalist 2% Salicylic Acid Face Wash
This has replaced my La Roche Posay face wash as my new favorite face wash. As I've gotten older, my skincare needs have changed and this stuff is working wonders to clear my skin up!
Minimalist 10% Vitamin B5 Face Moisturizer
This has replaced my former holy grail moisturizer recently. My skin has gotten a little oilier and more sensitive as I've aged, and my old moisturizer was breaking me out. I decided to try this since I loved Minimalist's face wash so much and OMG... It's totally transformed my skin! LOVE!
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads
First of all, I LOVE this brand. First Aid Beauty is a brand I first discovered 10 years ago after receiving some of their products in a Boxycharm box. But secondly, these facial pads are amazing! The older I get, the more textured my skin has become and these help to smooth my skin and keep it looking healthy!
SHAPERMINT Wireless Push Up Bra
I work from home but I still like to keep myself "presentable" in case someone stops by- which includes wearing a bra. I love this bra because it's super comfy, like a sports bra, but supports "the girls" so well! I forget I even have it on.
Kids
Star Projector Galaxy Night Light
Sawyer LOVES his astronaut night light! This thing has so many settings and looks amazing when it's turned on. I kinda want one for my own room! LOL
Bluey
Y'all know Sawyer LOVES "Bluey"! He has a lot of Bluey toys now but this one talks, with that cute little accent!
Walt Disney World
We are a Disney family, and we are currently planning our third trip to the parks! This book is a MUST when planning a Disney vacation!
PIGGY
Sawyer's favorite game for the last few years has been PIGGY, a Roblox game about a killer pig. Similar to the "Five Nights At Freddy's" game, Sawyer loves everything PIGGY and PIGGY-related.
OLLY Kids Chillax Gummies
These gummies have worked wonders to help Sawyer get through the day without his anxiety overwhelming him! He loves the taste and they are helping him to overcome his fears and worries- HUGE win!!!
Dr. Meter Noise Cancelling Headphones
If you have a kid with autism, you understand all too well that too much noise can lead to epic meltdowns. These noise cancelling headphones are a MUST for loud events!
What's Happening to Tom? Puberty Book
When Sawyer first started showing signs of puberty, I had no idea how to explain the changes in his body so he could understand. I found this book, and it has been a lifesaver for both of us!
Sprunki Game Plushies
Sawyer's latest obsession- Sprunki!! He loves this game, and has asked for several of these for his birthday. 😉
Home and Entertainment
DASH Stirring Popcorn Maker
Sawyer LOVES popcorn- it's one of his favorite foods- so I invested in this handy popcorn maker. So much cheaper than microwave bags, and the popcorn comes out so light, airy, and delicious.
"Atypical"
This series is a must-watch for autism families! "Atypical" tells the story of Sam, an autistic teen, and his family. It's one of the best representations for life as an autism family that I've seen!
"Forever Boy" by Kate Swenson
Finding Cooper's Voice is the first autism blog I ever followed. I have absolutely adored reading her stories about Cooper and life as an autism family. "Forever Boy" is Kate's book about Cooper and their quest to find joy in a difficult life.
"Half My Sky" by Carrie Cariello
Carrie Cariello is one of the first bloggers I found when I set out to find other autism moms. Reading her stories about her son Jack remind me so much of our life with Sawyer, and her ability to let Jack grow and try new things is inspiring.
Keurig K-Express Coffee Maker
If you know me, I HAVE to have my coffee in the mornings! Being the only coffee drinker in the house, though, I didn't want to brew a whole pot to waste most of it. This Keurig machine is my saving grace!!
Mom, I Want to Hear Your Story Book
I received this as a gift a couple of years ago and I love the prompts it gives me. I really wish my mom had done one of these!! I know someday my daughters will love reading what I wrote for them. ♥
Instant Pot Duo - 8 Quart
When I tell y'all this is a MUST HAVE for all busy moms, I ain't kidding! I don't know how I ever cooked without one. I can make anything in this pot, and it cuts cook time and clean-up down so much.
Nintendo Switch
Our whole family loves the Switch! Sawyer can play it as a handheld game, or we can hook it up to the TV and have a friendly game of MarioKart together! This is a GREAT buy for families!
IRON °FLASK Co-Pilot Insulated Mug
Sawyer wanted a Stanley cup because his sisters had one, but I was not about to spend that much on a cup I wasn't even sure if he'd use or not. Enter the Iron Flash mug... This thing is just as "cute" as a Stanley and it keeps drinks cold or hot for just as long or longer! We also love that it came with a straw and two different lid options!
Cake Boss Coffee in Chocolate Fudge Cake
My all-time FAVORITE K-cups to buy! This coffee not only tastes delicious but it smells absolutely heavenly! It fills the room with this incredible chocolatey aroma. You will love it!
GOFULLHOME 2025 Novel Vacuum-Based Magnetic Phone Holder
A phone holder in your vehicle is a must, y'all, and this one is awesome! My dash is not level, so I needed something that would attach to the windshield, and I love this one! It holds my phone safely and very securely!
Berkshire Life EchoSoft Blankets
These blankets are the softest, coziest blankets I've ever used in my life! I got one as a gift a few years ago and it has stayed on my bed ever since. The kids kept trying to steal it so often I had to buy them each their own!
Coolife Luggage 3 Piece Set
I travel a lot for my day-to-day job, and this luggage set has been a lifesaver! When I'm running through airports, the multidirectonal spinner wheels are a MUST to keep my luggage rolling with me without flipping over, and the hard case (with a combination lock!) keeps my stuff safe and protected. This is the exact color I got too, which makes it easy to spot on the conveyor belt when I have to check a bag. 😉
