CVS SPRING FAVORITES

drugstore haul

Spring Favorites featured by top US beauty blog Just Add Glam

I know I’m not alone on this one…whenever I run to the store for ‘just one thing’, I end up coming out with a bag full of stuff and wonder where my self-control went.  I went into my local CVS for a Mother’s Day card and came out with some of my old spring favorites to restock and some new things I wanted to try out.  Check out my haul of goodies below…

Spring Favorites featured by top US beauty blog Just Add Glam

CVS Spring Favorites:

Mother’s Day cards — I went in for one card and ended up coming out with five.  How!? I love the cards with extra embellishments on them, they are just too pretty!

Flowers — Never did I think the drugstore carried fresh flowers but I was presently surprised to find out that I could snag a pretty bouquet to brighten up the kitchen.  These flowers are still going strong and it’s been three weeks!  Not bad at all!

Spring Favorites featured by top US beauty blog Just Add Glam

Simple Micellar Cleansing Water — I’m a self-proclaimed makeup wipe lover from previous posts here and here and here because they are so easy to wipe off a full-face of makeup.  I tried the Simple Micellar Cleaning Water a few months back and am already back at CVS for my second bottle.  This is great to use for removing makeup similar to their wipes but I like that you can also use it to rehydrate a nearly-finished pack of face wipes.  Love how it leaves my skin clean and without a sticky residue.

Cotton rounds — Clearly I’ve been living under a rock because I haven’t tried these until just now (seriously?).  I like using these with my Simple water because they don’t leave a trace of cotton on my face.  Travel hack!–Put some cotton rounds in a ziplock bag and add Simple Micellar water to make your own travel size “wipes”.  The cotton rounds will be ready to go and you don’t have to bring the entire bottle!

Bristle body brush — I’ve been wanting to try a bristle brush that could be used for in-shower cleansing or also used for ‘dry brushing’–rubbed on dry skin to exfoliate and remove dry skin.  I like that this brush has little massagers built into it too.  Will let you know how I like it!

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash — I’ve repurchased this a handful of times now and like the moisture it gives me.  It comes out of the bottle like a lotion but forms a thick lather when used with a shower pouf or brush.  It feels like using lotion in the shower and my skin has been loving it!

Spring Favorites featured by top US beauty blog Just Add Glam

Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe — I like to apply lotion post-shower or right before bed, so naturally I’m running through a lot of lotion!  I wanted to try this one for the added aloe.  Since it’s spring and I’m spending more time outdoors (with suncreen on!) I wanted the added benefit of aloe to moisturize my skin.  I’m loving the aloe scent and my skin has been loving it so far!

What are some of your spring favorites from the drugstore? Are you like me where you go in for one item and come out with an entire bag?

If you’re headed to CVS to stock up yourself, you can get $1 off any 2 participating Dove, Simple, and Vaseline products when you check out the CVS Love Your Skin campaign video here.

    I do the same thing, but my habit of going in for one thing and coming out with several happens everywhere! I love good inexpensive drug store products like these. My favs are ELF makeup and witch hazel.

    xo, Nicole

    Oh, your so not alone. And you always see something you forgot on your list too. Love Dove’s body wash. CVS is super convenient for us it’s next to the grocery store which makes it easy to grab what we need too.

    Is there such a thing as just picking up the item you went in for and not everything else you see. A drug store is the worse spot for me to pick up extra things I didn’t originally go in for.

    I can’t find a drugstore in our place that sells fresh flowers. If I’ll find one, I will be glad to give some to my wife.

    Vaseline really never disappears from our own set of skin cream. Good job with the hauls, you probably converted some people into sing those products!

    Dove and Vaseline are two of my favorite products. I use Vaseline lotion daily and I love it. I mainly use it after taking a shower. I also love using Dove soap.

    Vaseline Intensive Care is my very favorite, great tip – I use it daily! My tip would be before adding moisturizer to your face, dampen your fingers so the moisturizer soaks into your face and not your fingers! Not quite an answer to your question, but it’s my go-to. 😀

    You definitely had a really great haul! I love grabbing fresh flowers from the supermarket but like you, I had no idea I could do the same from my favorite drugstore. I have been thinking of trying the micellar water and hope to do that soon. Definitely a lot of great finds!

    I had no idea CVS sold flowers, your arrangements are absolutely stunning, and it’s great they’ve lasted three weeks. I agree, I never walk into any store and only buy what is on my list.

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
