Anyone else wonder how we did things before Amazon? Maybe bought less stuff! I will say it has made decorating our house easier. I LOVE to support local as much as I can, but there are the occasional things that you just can’t find local. Like that retro rolling cooler for your backyard or the wall sconce you need to finish off a wall. Or to order more of the tanning lotion you were gifted and love! All of those items and more are in this months round-up of my Amazon recent purchases!

- Bamboo Plate Holder– when we stayed at my friend, Jessica’s house in Kanas City, she had these chargers to put under paper plates. I LOVED how it elevated a basic paper plate. Her’s were thrifted. But I found similar on Amazon!
- Glass Jar with Cane– been looking for a dupe to the glass vase we have on our coffee table that is $100, this is a nice option and also has the really cute cane on it.
- Flameless Candle Realistic Flame– favorite battery operated candles that the flame moves, looks real!
- Beauty by Earth Self Tanner– my sister gave me this self tanner for Christmas and I have been using it regularly! It has clean ingredients, rated a 1 on EWG! It does have a slight tanning lotion smell, but not bad.
- Wall Sconce– we have these in green in one of our guest rooms. Just got the blue for our basement family room to do on either side of the TV.
- Pillow Insert– tried a couple of Amazon down pillows and these are my favorite inserts! Great price. I prefer to use an insert that is 2 sizes bigger than the cover. I did the same with these inserts.
- Iron-on Adhesive– I used this to ‘”hem” my curtain panels! No more dragging curtain panels on the floor.
- Sunglasses– I saw these on my friend Miko and ordered them right away! I am all about the inexpensive fun glasses.
- Checkered Hair Clip– been loving these hair clips when I pull my hair half-up! Make for a cute gift too.
- Cutting Board– great price and size for a cutting board, we use it often and keep it on display.
- Retro Roller Ice Chest (more color options HERE)- we host a lot of parties at our house! We stock our basement pink fridge with drinks but wanted something to keep outside for parties. I had borrowed a friends for an event we hosted and knew we would use it more often, so we got our own. Also this looks really cute on our patio!
- S’mores Sticks– these expand from 12-45″! Perfect for all the S’mores nights in our future (stay tuned for must-have S’more recipes!)
- Electric Air Fryer– we had an air fryer in CT and along the way we lost it. So I finally ordered another one, we have been missing it! I read reviews and this was rated the best for large capacity, I knew with our family we would want a 7 qt.
