Friday recommendations, 7/26



1. I got Wells a Herschel backpack last year (on sale) and I love it so much (he's indifferent and would prefer Pokemon but idc). This year, I got Sutton one (again, on sale). She can wear it to daycare and it'll last her through preschool too. I sent my diaper bag backpack to daycare last year but the zipper broke in like February and I finally threw it away in May. This year, she gets her own bag. She adores it and takes it everywhere with her. 

I'm not seeing a whole lot on sale at this moment but it's worth bookmarking and tracking the price. I paid about $30 for each of ours. Also, I checked: they are no cheaper on Amazon and the Herschel website has a better selection. 

2. I got this spray for Sutton initially to just have something to comb through her hair in the morning. I ended up using almost the whole bottle myself. It's so great for detangling and it adds a softness and shine. No weird build-up or perfume-y scent. Extremely affordable too! I saw someone post a $40+ detangling spray that's "so great"(which is what sent me on the hunt for one in the first place). I don't know that I can believe that. 

3. I didn't mention it, but I was influenced into a Pura a few months ago. I love it. I'm not a candle fan and, while I went the oil/water diffuser route for a few years, the humidity created by the water throws off my air purifiers. 

Anyway, the Pura hooks up to wi-fi, plugs into the wall, and you control it with your phone. You also change out the vials based on the app. It tells you how much time is left in a vial, sets timers for use, etc. I used Salt up first and it was 100 hours. I used Lavender for a bit, then swapped it for Almafi Lemon and Mint, and then I switched in Grapefruit. Grapefruit is probably my favorite. 

4. I wish I had a book or a show to really recommend but things have been stagnant on that front. I do have this recipe I made last night: I've been making it since 2013 and it's a great way to use up zucchini from your garden. I do the gnocchi in the air fryer these days.
