Sigh.
I can’t even put into words how happy I am at this moment. Today has been FULL of sunshine. It was 72 degrees today and I wore the cutest sandals with tiny little jewels and the sun beams danced off of them all over the 100-year-old floors in this house.
I could see spring.
So today I wanted to share another edition of “Products I Wish I Would Have Bought Sooner.”
I love it when I discover products that I never heard of.
Products that make my life easier.
Products that solve problems.
Products that amaze me every time I use them.
There’s no gatekeeping around here. Friends tell friends when they’ve discovered something amazing.
So just in case you haven’t heard about these products? I had to share.
Here are 11 products I wish I had known about sooner.
10 Products I Wish I Would Have Bought Sooner (March Edition)
//this embroidered tulip pillow //
2. This embroidered tulip pillow
I’m so so so happy I discovered this pillow.
The detail on it is amazing and it looks so high-end. It looks just like a version of a much more expensive pillow and it’s SO PRETTY.
You can see the blue and white embroidered pillow here.
You can see even more blue and white pillows here.
// self tanner //
2. This self-tanner
You know how much I love my L’Oréal tan wipes.
But what if you don’t have time for tan wipes to work?
You need a new self-tanner friend.
This is the self tan EXPRESS.
It’s a mousse that you put on and it immediately makes your legs look tanner. The longer you leave it on—the more tan you’ll get. I usually leave it on for about four hours and then wash it off. The best part is that if I’m going out to dinner, I can put it on and my legs look tan. Then I just wash it off when I get home.
You can see the self-tanner here.
And I love this brush for easy application here.
// long-handled brush //
3. This long-handled brush
It’s so hard to get self-tanner on your back (or moisturizer, too).
This brush is the answer.
You can apply the self-tanner (or moisturizer) on the brush and then just use it to apply it to places you can’t reach with your hands.
And it also works well on the back of your legs, too. I look in the mirror and use the brush to apply the self-tanner.
It’s such a problem solver.
You can see the brush here.
// this faux hydrangea //
4. The best faux hydrangeas
You know how much I love hydrangeas.
And hydrangea season is here.
I’m actually growing them out in the garden, but these hydrangeas look like they came straight from the garden.
You can see the faux hydrangea here.
And you can see the faux branches here.
// click and spray mop //
5. This click and spray mop
I shared this mop years ago and I have tried so many different versions of this and I keep coming back to this mop.
If you have a dog named Buddy?
This is the perfect mop for you.
It makes cleaning up messes or mopping the floor SO EASY. You just spray and mop. No buckets, no mess. Just click and spray and mop.
I wash the pads in the washing machine and they’ve lasted me for over a year without having to buy new ones.
This set comes with the all floor cleaner, too.
You can see the set here.
// cracked heel socks //
6. These cracked heel socks
My heels were not ready for sandals.
Or summer.
Not even close.
I’ve seen socks like this before, but I don’t like to wear socks to bed. I like my toes to be free. So these socks are the perfect solution. They are socks that aren’t full socks.
Just add lotion and wear them to get those heels ready for summer.
You can see the socks here.
// battery-operated candles //
7. Battery-operated candles
I have these candles on my mantel.
They feel just like wax and they operate off batteries and have a remote.
You can even adjust the flicker and the flicker looks so real.
You can see these battery-operated candles here.
// undereye mask //
8. These undereye masks
I am a late-nighter.
And when I wake up—sometimes my eyes get so puffy.
These under-eye masks make such a difference. I actually started using them almost every day, they make such a difference. And then? I saw the Real Housewives wearing them and I knew I was on to something.
You can see the undereye masks.
// this faux boxwood //
9. This faux boxwood bush
I shared this last year, but we are working on the front porch for spring and have never seen an outdoor boxwood that looks more real—even after a year.
It’s side by side with my real boxwoods on the front porch and they look SO SIMILAR.
I bought one set and loved it so much that I bought another set. The individual branches twist and turn and I think that’s what gives it such a realistic appearance.
If you are going on vacation this summer or live in a place where watering is super challenging? This is the faux plant for you.
You can see the faux boxwood here.
// these compressed sponges //
10. These compressed sponges
I have bought these sponges at least four different times.
They are the coolest thing. The sponge is flat and when you add water it pops out into a sponge.
They are perfect for every day and for travel, too.
You can see the sponges here.
// these melamine dishes //
11. These melamine dishes
I’m going to write an entire post on these when I share a fun spring table (with the cutest block print placemats), but they were too cute not to share here.
They look so fancy with the ruffles and the beaded edges.
But they are melamine—not porcelain —which makes them perfect for summer.
The dishes come in a set of four and you can see them here.
Have you already used all these products?
Did you already know about them?
I hope I shared at least one thing that was new.
And if you have anything that’s been changing your life?
I’d love to know, too.
