FAVORITE THINGS

What is up party people?! I was doing ok there for a minute. Then… life. But I am back from Costa Rica (post coming soon!) and ready to get back to it. And since it is Friday, it’s sharing day! #FFF

Ready? Let’s get to it.

First up is this great “Turkish” towel from Amazon. I purchased these several years ago and they have held up incredibly well. They make great gifts! The towels pack up nice and small, they’re very thin and shake off the sand quite nicely. I have not had any issues with the color fading either. It’s a great “Turkish” towel without the price tag some have.

Second, my all time favorite facial sunscreen. Supergoop! is a great brand with clean ingredients. But my favorite part about this particular sunscreen is the oil component that is in a stick application. It goes on so easily, no messy zinc to rub in vigorously, and it smells nice. I don’t feel oily, ever. And, it protects my skin! I lost mine in Costa Rica and just reordered a new one because I love it so much. Hopefully I will have another beach trip again sooner than later… -insert fingers crossed emoji here-

Next up we have my lastest heel obsession. These sandals are super comfortable, stylish and won’t break the bank! I love Raye the Label. I believe they exclusively sell to Revolve.com. Don’t quote me on that. I wore them with pretty much every outfit while in Costa Rica and I didn’t want to take them off! (see photo below)

My top is Jen’s Pirate Booty and skirt is by Indah. All from Revolve.com.

My next favorite would have to be our luggage from Away. They are light as hell, but so durable, and you can get almost any color you want. For me, I love that their colors and ridges make them stand out from the ordinary black canvas luggage rotating around the carousel. The carry-on comes with a handy removable battery that pops in and out under the handle. It definitely came in handy this trip as my phone did not charge the night before. That would have been a disaster. I also have their Everywhere Bag. This bag packs so much including your laptop, wallet, passport, snacks on snacks, shoes, clothes, books… you name it. With most airlines you can have a carry-on and your personal bag. It fits under the seat perfectly so it can be your personal bag, leaving your purse nicely packed away. These pieces saved me when I traveled to Italy with a girlfriend wayyy back when (2019). We were there for two weeks, traveled from Rome to Capri to all over the Amalfi Coast and back to Rome. I cannot say enough about this luggage company. And that price!!!

from my Instagram – you can see the difference between the two sizes

Last, but not least, is one of my favorite coverups for the pool/beach. L*Space is a great swim/clothing company that I have been wearing for years now! This particular cover up is so easy to throw on, lightweight and packs nicely whether in luggage or your pool bag. I love my white one, but now I am eyeing that gorgeous “toasted” color…

Well, turns out this Friday Faves post was all about beach/travel favorites. Not surprised seeing as how I just came back from a quick vacation! Next week I will focus on the littles and things that make me happy/our lives easier!

Happy weekend!
