This month I bought a lot because I ordered all of our Halloween costumes on Amazon. Plus some other things that we needed around the house. So this month was another big order month and I know the next few months will be as well!linking up with Tanya
Dog Probiotics
Walter has been on daily probiotics since January. We couldn't find this brand the last time he needed a refill, so we went with another brand. It was in packets and way harder to portion out. I found his old one on Amazon and purchased it.
Callus Remover
This is sort of a gross purchase, but after the Summer and wearing sandals daily, my feet were just awful. I get pedicures, but between them, my feet just needed a little fix up. This one is amazing. You can use it on soaked or dry feet.
Halloween Costumes
We are going as characters from Toy Story and bought everything from Amazon. I had to return my leotard and get a new one since the one I received fit me everywhere but the length. The new one is a bit big, but I am going to make it work.
Security Camera and Doorbell Camera
We have been wanting to get a doorbell camera for several years and never did. Plus we wanted a camera for in the backyard as well. I don't know why it took us this long to get them, but we finally have them up and installed.
L'Oreal Paris Mascara Primer
I use this stuff before I put on my mascara every time I wear eye make-up. This stuff is amazing and cheap. Don't waste your money on expensive primers.
Lululemon Align Legging Dupes
I heard these were Lululemon Align Legging Dupes and by first impressions, they feel like them. I have worn them once and they are currently in the laundry, so I am not sure how well they wash just yet. They are really soft, high waisted and long enough. I did the bend over test to make sure you couldn't see through them and you can't. They don't suck you in as much as the Lululemon ones do, but these are an amazing dupe. I will be ordering another pair of these.
Cotton Gloves
I took Avery to the doctor two weeks ago since her hands were just getting sooo bad. She had cuts, raw knuckles and scabs all over her hands and it was getting worse. She has a case of eczema and the aftermath of washing her hands so much. She was giving an anti-inflammatory and an anti-bacterial creams plus a heavy lotion/cream for her hands. At night, she needed gloves and they recommended these, but they sent the wrong size. I sent them back and we just used clean small gloves.
Bike Inner Tubes
One of the girls bikes had a flat and it wouldn't stay pumped up. We have changed one tire tube in the past, so I looked for those ones, but they didn't have them. I found a two pack and they worked perfectly for their 16 inch bikes.
Hot Pink Belt
After shopping around in Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Target, I couldn't find any pink belts or material that I could make a belt out of for my Halloween costume. I found this one and bought it since it would arrive in time and looked similar to the one on the movie cover. Amazon had one that was even closer, bit it was way more expensive.
What did you buy this month?
Your Halloween costumes on Insta were amazing. You rocked that Barbie leotard!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I loved seeing your costumes on IG - SO fun! I hope you all had a blast for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time. It was a lot of fun!
DeleteI've been wanting cameras around our house for so long. We need to just buy some and get them up! I need to look on Cyber Monday and see what's on sale!
ReplyDeleteThat is another good day to buy them. They are worth it!
DeleteI have that foot callous remover and it's gross but the best!!! LOVED your family's Halloween costumes!!!! SO.MUCH.FUN!
ReplyDeleteIt really is. I can't believe what comes off of your foot when you use it. And thank you. We had a great time!
DeleteGreat Halloween costumes. I like the leggings!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing is pics of yall in your costumes, but I see I can go to insta for that!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely post them here on Friday!
DeleteSo glad the costumes worked out, y'all looked so cute! Yay, I am glad you like the leggings. Don't put them in the dryer. I always air dry all of mine anyway, but was careful to do that with those, just in case!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was fun. Even Rory had a good time dressing up. I air dried mine too. Just don't want to risk them snagging.
DeleteYour costumes were so fun! I'm so sorry to hear about Avery's hands...sounds so painful! Thanks for linking up with Prime Purchases and Hello Monday! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time dressing up. And thank you. Her hand is doing better.
DeleteI'm jealous of your doorbell. I'm wanting a RING myself.
ReplyDeleteLove you got all your halloween fun stuff from Amazon
It has been a cool purchase for sure. You can talk to people through your doorbell even when you are not home. We went all out on our costumes this year!
DeleteI loved the halloween costume picture you posted on Instagram! So cute!!! We have a ring door bell and wyze cameras through our house looking inside and out. It is so nice to be able to check on things without being a creeper in the window lol. I will have to check those leggings out.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We had fun dressing up this year! I love the idea of the cameras. Especially with how the world is right now. The leggings are a good purchase!
DeleteI feel for you with the gloves; my youngest two have eczema on their hands and it is so hard to keep it under control.
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo tough to keep their hands healthy. Especially this year!
DeleteLoved all your costumes. My husband's finger tips crack during the winter. He usually moisturizes and then wears latex gloves.. never thought out cotton gloves. Will look into them.
ReplyDeleteThe girls pediatrician said the cotton gloves are better since they don't rub on the wounds. And thank you. We had fun dressing up!
DeleteI was looking to buy a mascara primer and the Loreal primer sounds great!

It is a great one and so cheap!
DeleteToy story! I have to see pictures.
ReplyDeleteThey will be posted tomorrow!
DeleteI need the callus remover ASAP. I loved your family Halloween costumes! I work in dermatology and we would recommend the same treatment for Avery. I hope she has been doing better!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for that. I am glad to hear that we were on track with her treatment. And the Halloween costumes ended up being great ones!
