Friday Recommendations, 8/22

1. I meant to write a stuff and things post yesterday but you know how it goes. I do highly recommend these items we bought from Amazon this month. I realized last night I'm out of the lime essential oil because I've used it the most. 

2. I put this in my Teachers Pay Teachers store this week. I'm trying to get one product up a week but, again, you know how it goes. 



3. One thing I will take from Gen Z and never actually admit that they're right about: crew socks.



Funny story: Sutton's birthday was at an indoor play place so I bought some super cheap socks on clearance at Walmart for adults and kids in case anyone showed up without socks. Well, then I ended up with like 8 pairs of 10-for-$3 women's crew socks...I've been sleeping in them at night ever since. I know, I'm weird, I sleep in socks, whatever. But these were delightful. In fact, I wore them out (since March) and bought a second pack of slightly higher-end crew socks (name brand, 6-for-$6) this week. Cannot recommend enough. Now, I don't know that I'm in the place to wear them with shorts and sneakers (too Millennial for that) but I wear them around the house and to bed. 

4. Going off of that, I almost threw the old socks away...but then I remembered The Lazy Genius saying she uses socks for dusting and then I remembered how I've recently taught my kids how to clean the baseboards. And now those old socks are going to get a new purpose. 

5. We drove 40 minutes (a lot for me in the KC area) to Scheel's the other day to pick up these:


I cannot recommend this Elderberry Lemonade drink enough. I had ordered the green synergy from Arbonne this summer and it's just not it anymore. I'm also trying the adrenal complex but I think I need to take it before bed because it has the ashwagandha in it. 


Question: If anyone has any recommendations on how to best keep an orchid alive, please let me know. I've gone down some rabbit holes and I'm getting conflicting advice:
