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– 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! Comes in several colors options HERE.
- 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.
