Oh it’s been too long since I’ve done a favorites post. let's jump right in:

Gimme Beauty hairbands – I heard so many great things about these, I had to give them a try. I got the silk sleeping scrunchy & the fine bands. Let’s just say I don’t want to go back to using a normal hair band again! They stay put, first of all. I can put one in, sleep in it, and it will still be in place the next morning before I hop in the shower. And the best thing is, it doesn’t get caught in my hair! I’ve noticed the silk ones don’t leave a hard crease, but they give me a nice, natural wave. I love it! *Get $10 off your first purchase using my link!
mTranquil – Honestly, I’ve had a pack of these for awhile, but just tried them recently. I had a really stressful day (I’m sure you can relate) and these came to mind. So, I popped one in, chewed on it (and spit out the capsule). FYI and I know if you have tried ANYTHING I have given you in the past you won’t believe me (haha) but they are neutral tasting. I actually like them, but I also like strong, earthy, dirty-tasting things, so I know my description of these means nothing to most of you, lol! But really, they’re neutral and I like the immediate nervous system calm I get when I bite into it. It’s reishi spore oil and although I’ve had powdered reishi several times, I’ve never felt these benefits before. Code: SATIATEDBLONDE to save.
God’s Fingerprints – by the time this comes out, I will have already gifted my mom hers, so I think it’s safe to tell ya all about this! Sign up for their emails…they share their story all about how they created this and it’s heartwarming. There is one Bible verse from each book of the Bible written out together to look like a fingerprint. SO COOL! They also have other artwork that I am looking forward to adding to my collection someday.
Protea Lane Traveler Wristlet – This is a cute, small business I found on Instagram. I got the wristlet in "honeypot" which is a butterscotch color, but it also comes in black. Let’s just say…I have my own style but this ups my game, haha! Be sure to read the ‘Our Story’ section on their site. I think that makes all the difference.
Wellness By Ari – I ordered the Eucalyptus + Lemon candle to put on the patio dining table for outside dinners (when it gets warms enough), and cannot wait to try Leather & Smoke, which is next on my list! Check out their About page…it speaks my language: beeswax, coconut oil, certified organic hemp wicks, & essential oils!!! Use my code: SATIATEDBLONDE on checkout.
Ceramic Kettle – I received this as a gift (thanks mom & papa!). It heats up water so fast – just over 5 minutes if it’s filled to the max line (you guys know I like things extreme)! The beautiful ornate blue design goes perfectly in our kitchen, and I appreciate that although the kettle gets hot (as expected), the handle does not –and neither does the bottom! So, as I’m letting my coffee grounds bloom in the french press, I can set this down right next to it on the counter, without needing to put it back on its base.
