1 – I really enjoyed the serene and simple vibe in this beautiful waterfront home tour from Lisa Tharp Design. All the shades of blue are so beautiful and feel like neutrals in this home!

2 – There are a lot of cute new arrivals at J. Crew Factory that are perfect for easing into the summer months ahead! All sources are listed below the graphics.

3 – I ordered this top after seeing it on my friend Rachel and am happy with the quality and it looks much more expensive than it is! I’ve ordered with luck from this brand on Amazon before so I was happy this one worked too. I’d say it fits true to size, but slightly small (it doesn’t have any stretch) so I’d order up a size if you’re between sizes or have a larger chest. I ordered the Blue color and like it so much I may get the white, as well. But there are a lot of cute color options!

4 – Have y’all heard of this viral hair repair? It’s pricey, but after seeing a few influencers I follow and trust raving about it, I decided to give it a try. I used to have very healthy hair, but the last few years have been rough on it. Not sure if it’s hormones, or changing colorists or just too many years of bleach and not using a heat protectant (or a combination of all of that) , but I have so much breakage on my hair from the last year or so. I chopped a bunch off a few months back and that helped even it out a bit, but I knew I needed to actually get the hair healthier too. I’ve now used this leave-in conditioner the four recommended times and already notice a significant improvement in the condition of my hair (the straw-like ends have all but disappeared). It’s wild! And I swear when I bought it, it didn’t have even half that many reviews. Then I saw 30k units were already sold this month (and that’s just on Amazon)! The key is to follow the directions exactly. You wash your hair, don’t condition, and then apply this post-shower to towel-dried hair. Let it sit for 4 minutes without brushing it in, then brush, then use your usual styling products as normal. I used three pumps the first two times and then only two pumps the second two times. Now I’ll just use it maybe every other wash or so or as I feel like it’s needed. I’m always skeptical of leave-in products and if I can truly wear them without hair looking dirty, and this one isn’t an issue at all. My ends are noticeably less “crunchy”, my fly-aways have dramatically improved, and I don’t wake up with raging bedhead any longer. Highly recommended! I’m also now adding this thermal protectant to my routine, because admittedly, despite blow drying and curling or flat ironing almost daily, I never used to use a heat protectant! I’m really happy with it so far too and it also lives up to the hype!

5 – If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you all likely know how much I loved my colorblock paint vases I got from Serena & Lily. They no longer carry them, but the brand was etuHOME (who also make all of my favorite serving boards) and Serena & Lily (along with Pottery Barn and other stores) sold them. Well, I was thrilled to find this 3-in-1 vase set (which I think is really 4-in-1). It’s from the same brand, but the glass vase is plain, and then they give you three sleeves to slide over the base, giving you three more options! The look is so chic and this vase size is still one of my all-time favorites. Additionally, coming from someone who owns a lot of vases, they can kind of be a nightmare to store when not in use. So this solution is pretty genius for that reason, as well! They also offer it in this vineyard colorway if you don’t decorate with as much blue as I do. They also have some of the OG colorblock vases as well, and they’re all on markdown.
