Happy Friday all! We were in Graeagle for the first part of the week (Saturday through Wednesday) and it was sooo nice to get away. We were staying in cabins and far from people, so it was really nice to decompress and get away. I hope you all had a good week.
Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.
ONE. When I stayed with my friend Nathalie last October in Oklahoma, she introduced me to Micellar Water. I had never used it before. Now I am one of routine, I wash my face in the shower with a daily cleanser and sometimes a shower mask. At night, I take my make up off with a makeup cloth. But I was noticing when I woke up that my face was "greasy". I bought a travel bottle of Garnier Micellar Water at Ulta one day and I started using it in the morning. I had a bunch of leftover foundation on the cotton pad every morning. So now I use it after my makeup cloth to get everything off. Don't worry, I still really wash my face every morning.
What I am getting at is the Micellar Water gets everything off and it isn't harsh on your skin. I really love it. So much so, that I finally bought a full bottle of it at Target. You can get $2 off at Target right now through August 30th, so I got this for $4.79 for a full bottle. Plus I used my Target card for an extra 5% off.
TWO. Before my trip to Graeagle, I decided last minute that I needed a new duffel bag. I have a great weekender bag by Hershel, but it is not large enough for our 4 to 7 day trips and I hate bringing my big suitcase that I use for work/personal trips. It is so much easier to lug around a large duffel on these camping/cabin trips.
I ran over to REI to see what they had and I ended up finding the best deal. I found the bag below on clearance and that is only because it was the last one left. The sales associate who was helping me out said this bag is amazing because it has many compartments, is perfect for camping/hiking/cabins or even for flights. It folds up pretty small and you can carry it on your back. This thing is amazing. It is normally $113, but I got it for around $50. It is so hard to find a decent duffel for under $100 and that is 75 liter capacity.
THREE. So I don't remember if I mentioned on here, but I finally got myself one of the Shiatsu Massagers that we got my dad for Father's Day. After my golf lesson, golf practice, running, walking, cleaning and more calisthenics last week, my legs, hips and arms were so sore.
My dad tells me how much he loves the massager and so I finally bought one for myself. And I got it on sale. You can get it for less than $30 right now. It has heat and the massagers work really well. The only thing that was different about it is that you plug it into the wall to charge, so no batteries. But this thing can go around your thigh, around your neck/shoulders, around your back and so on. It is truly a great item and a great gift.
FOUR. Weekly funnies.
Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything and Becky.
I bought that massager for my mom and she says it's incredible - I need to try it too LOL! Hope you have a great weekend! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteIt is incredible. After my parents rave reviews, I had to have it!
DeleteIsn't that massager amazing? I use mine all the time. It's just so good because you can use it anywhere. It's always been hard to find something that can easily massage my hip, but this one is able to get to it really well! I love it.
ReplyDeleteIt is really amazing. My parents loved theirs after we got it for them and now I love mine. I use it daily!
DeleteI'm going to check out that cleansing water; thanks for letting us know about it!! Glad you guys were able to get away for a bit.
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome and pretty cheap too. It gets all my make up off and even just cleans my face so well.
DeleteThat Osprey duffel is one of our absolute favorite purchases ever. Seriously! It's the best! I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteIt really is the best. I am soooo glad that I found it and on clearance!
DeleteHow wonderful that you were able to get away! I just bought myself a new weekend bag this summer and am really hoping I get to use it soon.
ReplyDeleteBuying a new bag every so often is good. I needed this bag for a long time and kept putting it off.
DeleteI love that Garnier face cleanser too - its a one stop shop. It does so well at taking my eye make up too. & it doesnt break me out.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing at taking off make up. Even make up that you used other cleansers and they didn't get it all off. It is sooo gentle on your face. I LOVE this stuff and the price is good too.
DeleteThat massager would make a great gift! I need to start putting these in my "Christmas ideas" note now, lol! Hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great gift for sure. I love mine.
DeleteWow! Who knew about the micellar water! That last meme has got me laughing out loud!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing stuff and at an amazing price.
DeleteThat's a great looking duffel!
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo durable too!
DeleteThose funnies are needed this week! Glad you guys are having a great break and I love micellar water!
ReplyDeleteAmanda @ Cupcake N Dreams
I am glad you enjoyed them! It is the best right?
DeleteThat looks like a great duffel bag.
ReplyDeleteLove the last quote!
It is a great bag for sure. And getting it on clearance was great too!
DeleteThat massager is incredible! I have purchased this one and another one on Amazon and I swear by them. I keep one in my home office and one in my bedroom. They're the best! Also, a micelar water is a great cleansing option. They don't strip your skin at all and they still remove dirt and debris!
ReplyDeleteOh I like the idea of having two massagers. I told my husband he needs to get one of his own, so I don't have to share it. That is why I love micelar water so much. It is sooo gentle on my skin.
DeleteThat first meme is definitely accurate! I like that duffel bag.
