Should I be embarrassed to say that we get about 2-3 packages from Amazon a week? Gah! It’s just so EASY to order from and I am also addicted to reading reviews and obviously have Prime…so shipping is uber fast lol.
ANYWAY, I read these types of posts a lot and have found awesome things through them, so I wanted to share what I have been buying from Amazon and loving. Ready? Let’s go!
Tanceuticals for Body and Face:
I first tried this earlier in the Summer and I was blown away by the color and caliber of “fake” tan it gives. It legit looks like a real tan, without the worry. It is a lotion and does not have a bronzer built-in, so just make sure you apply from the feet up with a tanning mitt, it is really fool-proof. I have perfected my self tanning routine and can get it applied in under 5 minutes, and apply it about once a week. I love how this one smells, and it does not transfer to your clothes, which is my only complaint with St. Tropez (another fave.)
Here is a post where I contrasted two self tanners and my opinions on them both. I will do another one with Tanceuticals soon!
Natures Bounty Protein Shake Mix
I buy this stuff in bulk, you guys, and use it every single morning in my daily smoothie. I like both the chocolate and the vanilla, and just find that it mixes in really well and tasted great. It’s equally as great just mixed with almond milk and a little PB2 in a shaker cup if you are in a hurry.
I’ve been drinking this daily during my workouts for a year and a half now, and didn’t know how much it worked until it ran out and I felt how sore I was! Now I can’t promise it wasn’t just an extra brutal week at CrossFit, but I find this does help me with recovery and I’m never without it. The watermelon flavored one is my favorite.
I feel like I heard about these on several podcasts, as well as read about them on many blogs before I finally bit the bullet one day and bought them. These are basically high fiber crackers you can use as a substitute for bread. I like to top them with salmon salad for lunch, or you can make avocado toast, or just throw some lunch meat on as a mock sandwich. They are thin and tasteless alone, but man, do they fill you up. I like that they give you that “crunch” in a meal when you are trying to not raid the pantry for goldfish or pretzels lol.
Okay, I’m addicted to this. I keep it on my nightstand and there in nothing else that holds a candle to it when it comes to keeping my lips moisturized. I feel like my lips are almost always in need of moisture and this has helped me so much. I’ve ordered it twice so far and know it will be a reorder when I use it up again.
Colloidal Silver, Cold Calm, and Oscillococcinum tablets
This is my arsenal or homeopathic meds I keep on hand all year round (but especially when school is in session.) The second I or my family even has an inkling that they aren’t feeling well, I do a couple of days of colloidal silver (under the tongue), and after the first day, if the sick feeling is still there, I’ll move to Cold Calm for that, or Oscillococcinum tablets for flu symptoms. I find that with myself, it completes stops a cold or flu, or lessens it to the degree that it barely affects me. The key is to take it right when you start to feel a teeny bit sick, and then follow the dosing instructions. I also use essential oils and, when needed, conventional meds, but most often I can head off illness with these products.
Dandy blend instant herbal beverage
I use this as a replacement for iced coffee or regular hot coffee in the day. I am TRYING to have only 1 cup pf hot coffee and maybe a 1/2 cup of cold brew before 10am right now, so when I want the same taste or experience, I make dandelion tea. It tasted really similar, and sometimes even better in my opinion! I mix the powder with hot or cold water, then add some coconut milk and a little squeeze of agave and it is YUM.
This is my ride or die face sunblock that I am never without, that I discovered a couple of years ago when I went through my K-beauty obsession. I love the texture of it, I love how lightweight it is, and I love that it has no scent. I’ve bought about 4 of them since then and absolutely love it.
I love these! We use them all day long in our smoothies, my iced coffee and dandelion tea, and in my water bottle I’m constantly drinking out of. They can take a minute to get used to because they are obviously more rigid than a conventional straw, but you can purchase little silicone ends if you want and that makes them even better.
This is the second bottle of this oil I have purchased and it lasts forever. I love using oil on my face and feel it has made all the difference in my skin’s moisture level. I put it on after a wash my face after toner, then layer moisturizer and/or sunblock and my skin just soaks it up. A little goes a long way! I use about 2 drops for my whole face.
Tell me, what you do love to order from Amazon? I’m always open to finding new products and deals!
