This week’s haul is a little fashion, a little beauty, some poolside luxury, and a whole lot of “I didn’t expect to love this, but now I do.” I test a lot of things—some I buy, some are gifted—but only the winners make it here. If I’m wearing it, using it, or recommending it, it passed my test. Let’s get into it.
Fashion & Style
Crop Top (with Built-In Bra)
I love not wearing a bra. This crop top makes that possible. It’s fitted, flattering, and actually holds up my 34DDDs without screaming “support tank.” Perfect for hot days, errands, or layered under an open button-down. And yes, it comes in multiple colors—I own more than one.
WeWoreWhat Beach Pants
These are the pants that started it all—my cruise pants. They’re lightweight, breezy, and give serious resort-chic energy. I paid around $110 for them, and while that shocked a few people when I shared the price, I stand by it. They’re flattering, elevated, and I’ve worn them enough times to justify every penny. High-rise, flowy fit, and they move beautifully. If you’re doing vacation content, cruise wear, or just want to feel put together without sacrificing comfort, they’re a solid buy.
Linen Harem Pants
These are my everyday, go-to, buy-them-in-every-color pants. Light, flowy, high-waisted, drawstring waistband with roomy pockets. They’re comfy without being sloppy. I pair them with crop tops, beach sweaters, or whatever I grab on the way out the door.
CupShe V-Cut Two-Piece Bikini
I did not expect to love this bikini—but here I am, posting about it. The V-cut bottom makes my waist look smaller while skimming over that new midlife belly. It’s flattering, it’s comfortable, and the back detailing is super cute. CupShe nailed this one.
Skincare & Beauty
Laura Geller SPF 50 Serum Foundation
This is lightweight, dewy, and super hydrating. It’s more skincare than full coverage, and that’s exactly what I want at 53. Liquidy enough to drip out of the bottle—so you know it blends beautifully. No filter, no cakey finish, just glow. It’s Laura Geller’s Better than Block serum foundation.
PH Balancing Licorice Toner
Step one in my skin-flooding routine. I double cleanse and then layer the Acwell PH Balancing licorice toner on first. It hydrates, balances, and feels like a spa moment. Korean beauty is next-level, and this one’s been a fan favorite for good reason.
Beekman 1802 Milkshake Facial Toner
Goat milk, mugwort, hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil—this mist hydrates and refreshes without irritation. I shake and mist between serum layers, and it keeps my skin feeling alive in this desert heat. The Beekman 1802 Milkshake facial toner smells amazing too.
InnBeauty Eye Cream
This brand surprised me. Their face cream was incredible, so I agreed to try the eye cream as well. It hydrates, brightens, and wears well under makeup (or on its own). Already used one jar, opened a second.
Luminous Eye Corrector (SPF 41)
This is not a concealer—it’s a brightener. Smooth, glowy, with just enough pigment to wake up your under-eyes. I wear the Luminous eye corrector even on no-makeup days, especially if I’m heading out into the Vegas sun.
Bath & Body
Beekman 1802 Goat Milk Face Wipes
These wipes are a little luxury I now keep everywhere—car, desk, nightstand. I use them post-walk, after sunscreen, around allergy-irritated eyes… they’re gentle, refreshing, and clean without drying me out.
Laundry Sauce Pods (Egyptian Rose)
Yes, I said laundry detergent is bougie—and I meant it. These pods smell like a high-end perfume. One laundry detergent pod does the trick for most loads. My bedding smells dreamy. Plus, they’re enzyme-boosted and eco-packaged. Total yes.
Poolside Favorites
Sloosh XL Pool Raft
This is a floating lounge for two—with drink holders and a removable pillow. You can let water in or drain it depending on the vibe. I manifested a pool and now I’m living in it with this raft. Instant luxury.
Sloosh Inflatable Pool Chairs
Honestly, I like these better than the raft. Mesh seat, inflatable sides, and you actually float in the water instead of just on top. Keeps you cool while you tan or scroll. Comes in a two-pack and packs up small.
Casemate Waterproof Phone Pouch
This pouch saved my phone—and let me TikTok while floating. I tested it by dunking it in my pool. Bone dry. Touchscreen still worked. If your phone’s your plus-one at the pool, get this.
Sleep & Wellness
Lullabytes Natural Sleep Gummies
One gummy. That’s all I need. 20 minutes later, lights out. These are star-shaped and taste like candy, but they’re packed with passion flower, magnesium, and 5-HTP. Game-changer for winding down.
Home & Kitchen
HexClad Hybrid Pans
Non-stick meets stainless steel. Oven-safe. Dishwasher-safe. Scratch resistant. Lifetime warranty. I started with one set and slowly built out my full collection—fry pans, woks, saucepans, griddles. Expensive? Yep. Worth it? Every penny.
Pets
Cardboard Cat Lounger Scratchers
These live on my patio (aka the catio), and my cats are obsessed. They nap, scratch, sunbathe—and I don’t have to worry about shredded furniture. Affordable, stackable, and I keep repurchasing.
