Summer favorites
Today, I want to share some of my favorite summer purchases!
#1 Instant pot
Well, this is my top purchase even more than my favorite #2. My instant pot is my new favorite kitchen tool! I bought this one on sale for $50 and no regrets! My favorite things to make in it are rice (I never could make it right, now it is 2 cups of rice, 2 1/2 of water and voila, 12 min in the instant pot!), sweet potatoes, carrots, cooking chicken for recipes (10 min!!) and a few recipes such as crack chicken and hawaian chicken. I also use the crockpot function and got rid of my old crockpot. In with the new out with the old!
#2 Striped blouse
Well, I love this blouse and partly for sentimental reason but also because I love how it flows, I love the cut and the sleeves as well as the stripes and color! A win in my book and for 15 euros, I was pleased with my purchase.
#3 Heart tee
An $8 find at Ross Dress for less, I have worn this heart tee with many different bottoms, pants, skirts and even over a dress. It is actually great quality for the price and the cut is flattering.
#4 Bento boxes for kids lunches
I bought my Kindergartener and my 3rd grader some bento boxes for their school lunches. I am hoping that they will help me use less plastic and foil and also encourage me to create more interesting lunches. I bought them on sale for about $17 and I am sure they will last several years. They are very sturdy and easy to clean.
#5 Essential oil Diffuser
After winning a Simply Earth box from Grace’s blog at Color and Grace I decided to invest in a diffuser for our living room. I just chose one that looks pretty and was in my price range and would give it two thumbs up! I also got in on sale which is always nice!
Any fun purchases you made this summer?

I have such a hard time making rice and getting it to come out just right too! I think my favorite purchase this summer was my twist front t from Amazon. I have worn them (I bought two in different colors) to death!

We actually eat rice about once a week now because of the instant pot!

I love all of your favorites! I do love using my crock pot in winter though 😀
You’re most welcome to join me in a cuppa,

The instant pot has a crockpot feature so I can use instead of having another appliance! It works as well. I do love crockpot meals in the winter and fall too!
