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!
