One more month til baby month! August has come and gone, and I am now officially in fall mode. 馃槈 I cannot wait for all my favorite ‘ber months! Bring on September, October and November! I love sharing all my favorite things – so here is what I was LOVING during the month of August!!
August 2023 Monthly Obsessions
Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Macchiato
Ok this was a new drink last year but it was one of my FAVES. You have to like a sweeter drink – but I actually love the apple crisp syrup in the drink and it is the perfect September drink when we are apple picking, and cooler weather is just BARELY starting to make an appearance.
The Barbie Movie
If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet, let me just go ahead and say: The Barbie Movie was everything I hoped it would be and more. I actually went and saw this with my mom and it made me so happy to share that experience with her. It was funny, poignant, witty and FUN all at the same time. It also really hit me in the feels being pregnant with my own daughter.
Used To Be Young by Miley Cyrus
I have always been a fan of Miley’s music but her newest song is SO GOOD. Basically it’s been on repeat since it came out so. 10/10.
Levis Baby Boy Overalls
I am simply *OBSESSED* with Noah James in overalls. He is 18 months now and I cannot get enough. Overalls on little boys are so stinking adorable and
L’Ange Duo Hair Straightener
I have been using this hair straightener for at least 2 years, but I just realized how GOOD this straightener is for curls with collar bone length hair and it’s actually criminal that this hasn’t been included in a Monthly Obsessions before today.
Beis Weekender Bag
I know it can be hard to spend $100+ on a duffle bag. I GET IT. But trust me on this one: it’s so so so worth it. I’m obsessed with all things Beis right now – all of the bags / luggage I’ve gotten from this brand have been phenomenal. I am using the weekender bag as my hospital bag to have baby 3 and it’s PERFECT.
Physicians Formula Butter Glow Concealer
I grabbed this on a whim when I was Target the other day because I love the glow highlighter than I mix with my tinted moisturizer so much. I was super intrigued to see how the coverage was and I’m SO impressed. It’s really creamy, blends beautifully and sits really nice on the skin. It has light/medium coverage, which is great. My only disappointment is that it comes in two shades: white and also white. There is zero shade range and that’s really unfortunately. If you are my skin shade or lighter, it’ll work great for you. Anything darker – even my own self with a tan – this will be too light for.
ShuShop Paula Low Top Sneakers (Golden Goose Dupes)
I grabbed these from a local boutique in my area during an influencer event and literally could not stop myself from buying a pair. They are SO CUTE and will be SO cute for fall. I’m obsessed with them. They’re super comfortable and have the Golden Goose vibes on a budget.
Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger Snaps
I went to Trader Joe’s for the first time in like 3 years the other day (we just don’t have one super close to us) and remembered how delicious these are. I love ginger and I REALLY love ginger during this pregnancy so these are like the perfect third trimester snack.
E.L.F. Stay All Day Blue Light Micro-Setting Mist
This setting spray is SO good! I’m typically a die-hard Urban Decay All Nighter Spray girlie – but this spray is fantastic for the price. Plus, I love that it’s got Blue Light protection. I work on my phone / computer for hours a day and know how harmful that blue light can be to our skin. I use a blue light under eye protector, but it’s great to have it all over my skin with my setting spray. Plus, I can reapply during the day.
