august favorites

A peek at everything I’ve loved in August 2026! You can also find my wishlist and current favorites here! Along with my recent purchases right here. It’s like a peek into my personal life. 

FOOD

True Lime. It’s taken me a long time to get into this, but I can’t believe how much I LOVE it. I find myself taking packets of it everywhere. It’s amazing in diet coke or even just plain seltzer. I love it. And I got Eddie hooked on it too!

Cinnamon honey. I bought this while in Michigan early this month and it’s so good. I could eat it by the spoon, but I’ve also been making the teddy graham latte with it and it’s unreal.

Hot honey almonds. I’ve been having these as a snack… they are a must try. Love them!

HOME

Everyday tumbler. This is what I have my iced coffee in every morning and it’s SO easy and the perfect size for me. I brew the espresso then do crushed ice in the cup and make it right in there. Love it.

Ninja crispi air fryer. I’ve mentioned this a few times over the last couple of weeks and it is by far my favorite air fryer I’ve tried. It’s incredible! We use it at least 1 to 2 times a day, sometimes more. I think I love it so much because I can see the food in the glass dish. I can see it cooking and make sure it’s done/not overdone!

Self cleaning broom & dustpan set. Um, very random but I have three of these and adore them. They brush cleaner is genious and I had never seen one before. It’s my go-to dust pan and I have one on each floor! Figures – it has over 50K reviews!

BEAUTY

YISE peptide moisturizer. It is crazy how much I love these products – the exfoliating pads are my most favorite that I’ve ever used. This moisturizer is INCREDIBLE. It is so light but hydrating at the same time time and has been incredible this summer. I love how my sunscreen goes over it AND how my makeup goes over it!! This is lining up to be the only brand I love multiple skin care products from.

Lake & Sky 222 perfume. Their 11:11 is one of my favorite scents of all time. It’s fool proof. This is definitely milkier and warmer, but right up my alley. It will be in the fall rotation for sure. I’ve also layered it already with many of my favorites.

Haus Labs highlighter blush in rose quartz. This is such a gorgeous shade! A blush + highlighter in one. I love all Haus Labs products and this one is just as good.

LYS beauty lip balm. The clear gloss is incredible. It makes your lips look so plump and it smells great too. It goes on super glossy and I’m already on my second tube of it! I also have the hot pink shade that I use often.

FASHION

Pavoi oura ring cover. It’s no secret how much I love pavoi – I was so excited to see them come out with this super fun covers! It’s big and chunky but I love it. Makes me feel better about wearing my oura ring out! And can’t beat the price.

AYR the tate shirt. Absolutely IN LOVE with this shirt. I was influenced to by it and it’s so gorgeous because of how the collar lays. I will say that I think it runs really big, so if you want a more fitted version, size down!

Ruti on the loose pants. Another very influencer-y purchase!! I have seen these for the last year but never hit purchase… my cousin hated them so I didn’t think I’d like them either. Then I saw the fall leopard version and knew I HAD to try. Oh my gosh. I love these. I have worn them almost every single day and then I bought them in brown. I usually don’t love a barrel pant, but these just work. I really really love them! I’m 5’2″ and I do prefer the regular length over petite, just FYI.

CRZ yoga softstreme pants. The hot fudge brown color is my favorite. Are you sensing a trend? I love all things chocolate brown!

All yours cropped t-shirt. As a true millennial hater of all things cropped, this shirt hits at just the right spot. It isn’t too cropped. It’s my favorite one that I’ve found because it looks modern enough, but still is classic and not super trendy-cropped, you know??

Rhone anorak. I have been wearing these for years, but I really love to walk in them in the summer. They are SUPER lightweight but also UPF 50, so I can wear them when it’s warm to walk outside. Protects my arms, chest, etc. It is also cute with jeans, shorts and regular leggings!

MEDIA

Whatever’s Clever. I can sing every single lyric of this album. I love it so much. I’ve had the whole thing on repeat for weeks!

Furious on Hulu. This show is absolutely incredible. It is such a thriller and you have no idea what is going to happen next. I love it.

If Not For My Baby. Great read of the month!! Loved this one and was very hooked. I really loved the ending!

KIDS

Ultimate weird but true books. All 3 of my kids love these and I swear they could win trivia games because they read so many of them! We gift these so often too. Kids love them.

Piles. This has been such a fun one for us to play this summer!!

Flowart mini dot activity pads. These have been SUCH a hit with my two older kids. This is very detailed and tiny dot art, so it’s not great for Jordan (who is 5). But it is such a great non-screen activity for the older ones!
