Sisters are the OG influencers — aren’t they? It was so much fun getting to visit my twin sister and her family over spring break to see her beautiful new home and spend time together. Visiting each other always results in both of us digging through the other’s drawers and saying WHEN DID YOU GET THIS? OH, YOU BOUGHT THIS — IS IT GOOD? Mixed with the other one says, OHMG, you have to try this!
Here are the few things Jen convinced me I couldn’t (or didn’t want to!) live without 😉
+ HUME DEODORANT — JEN HAS BEEN TRYING TO FIND A CLEAN / TOXIN-FREE DEODORANT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS — AND SHE FINALLY FOUND ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS. I TRIED IT WHILE I WAS WITH HER AND CAN CONFIRM IT’S FANTASTIC (AND SMELLS GREAT!) JUST ORDERED MY OWN.
+ BLUELAND CLEANING PRODUCTS — I THOUGHT I WAS HAPPY WITH OUR CORE CLEANING PRODUCTS UNTIL I USED BLUELAND’S CLEANING PRODUCTS. FROM THEIR ALL-PURPOSE SPRAY TO THEIR LAUNDRY TABLETS AND OXI-BOOSTER — I WAS SOLD. THEY MAKE BEING ECO EASY(!) AND THEIR CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE EFFECTIVE AND AFFORDABLE. LIKE REALLY EFFECTIVE — MY DAUGHTER GOT RED CLAY (READ: REALLY TOUGH/BAD STAIN!) ON HER NEW WHITE SHORTS, AND I’M HAPPY TO REPORT I GOT THEM ALL OUT WITH BLUELAND’S OXI-BOOSTER. I ALREADY ORDERED THE STARTER PACK AND CAN’T WAIT FOR IT TO ARRIVE.
+ WATERCOLOR ART PAPER — I SHARED THIS IN STORIES, BUT THIS WATERCOLOR PAPER IS A MUST-BUY FOR ALL OF US. IT’S WATERCOLOR PAPER THAT THE KIDS CAN ENJOY PAINTING ON, AND THEN IT EASILY FOLDS INTO A “CANVAS” THAT MAKES DISPLAYING THEIR ART SO EASY AND FUN.
+ CLEAR STORAGE BINS — MY TWIN USES THESE BINS (THEY COME IN DIFFERENT SIZES, BUT SHE USUALLY THE XL AND LARGE MOSTLY) TO ORGANIZE NEARLY EVERYTHING IN HER HOUSE, AND THEY WORK! HER HOUSE IS SO ORGANIZED — AND I THINK IT’S BECAUSE SHE HAS A SIMPLE SYSTEM TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ITS “HOME. ” I *HATE* SPENDING MONEY ON STORAGE CONTAINERS — IT’S JUST AN EXPENSE I CRINGE TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON. INSTEAD, I TEND TO LEAN TOWARD PAIRING DOWN OUR STUFF, BUT HONESTLY, I THINK AFTER FEELING LIKE I’M CONSTANTLY IN A STATE OF “TRYING TO GET ORGANIZED,” I MIGHT JUST NEED A FEW DEFINED BINS TO GIVE THINGS THEIR HOMES. I’M GOING TO START WITH THE KID’S BATHROOM — SO I ORDERED TWO OF THESE BINS IN THE XL SIZE — AND AM EXCITED TO SHARE HOW IT HELPS.
+ OXO COOKIE SCOOPERS — I LOVE TO BAKE AND ESPECIALLY LOVE TO MAKE COOKIES. I CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE ONE LARGE COOKIE SCOOPER, BUT I LOVED USING THESE OXO SCOOPERS IN SMALL, MEDIUM, AND LARGE FOR ALLLL THE THINGS WE MADE — FROM COOKIES TO RAINBOW PANCAKES — THEY ARE SIMPLE BUT INCREDIBLY FUN AND A HELPFUL TOOL TO ADD TO THE KITCHEN.
+ WHITE JEAN SHORTS — THESE ARE THE PARKER LONG LOOSE JEAN SHORTS WE BOTH LOVE BUT IN WHITE, AND THEY LOOKED SO, SO GOOD ON JEN! IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A GREAT PAIR OF WHITE DENIM, LOOK NO FURTHER!
+ BOLL & BRANCH SHEETS — JEN HAS THESE ON ALL HER GUEST BEDS, AND THEY ARE SO COZY. I LEGIT DON’T THINK OUR FAMILY HAS SLEPT BETTER WHEN WE ARE AWAY! THESE ARE ON THE PRICER SIDE, BUT JEN SAID THEY HOLD UP SO WELL AND ONLY GET BETTER WITH EVERY WASH.
+ PLAY BY SUPERGOOP — THIS BIG BOTTLE OF SUNSCREEN IS EVERYTHING. ITS PUMP MAKES IT FUN FOR THE KIDS (AND THE ADULTS, LET’S BE HONEST), AND IT’S SO NICE TO HAVE ONE LARGE CONTAINER THAT WILL LAST ALL SPRING/SUMMER. I GET SO ANNOYED HAVING TO BUY 10 BOTTLES OF SUNSCREEN ONLY TO HAVE THEM FLOATING AROUND IN EVERY SINGLE BAG HALF EMPTY. I LOVE THE IDEA OF THIS BIG CONTAINER FOR HOME — FOR THE MORNING / FIRST SUNSCREEN OF THE DAY — AND THEN PICKING UP ONE OR TWO NORMAL SIZES TO KEEP IN THE BEACH BAG.
+ PEBBLE ICE MAKER — JEN HAS AN INDUSTRIAL PEBBLE ICE MAKER INSTALLED IN HER NEW KITCHEN, AND KCD SAID, “THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST FEATURE OF THE HOUSE 😆 .” IT JUST MAKES DRINKING ALL YOUR DAILY WATER AND BEVERAGES FEEL SPECIAL AND LIKE A LUXURY. WHILE WE DON’T HAVE THE SPACE TO INSTALL ONE IN THE KITCHEN ITSELF, IT MAKES ME READY TO “FINALLY” BUY THIS PEBBLE ICE MAKER THAT SITS ON THE COUNTER.
WHAT HAS YOUR SISTER/BROTHER INFLUENCED YOU TO BUY? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR!
