1. Nike Crossbody– I have been using this Nike bag for our family walks and running errands. It is the perfect size and I love that it isn’t too bulky.

2. Matcha– This Matcha is ceremonial grade matcha! It is my favorite matcha by far and I use it everyday now. You can check out my post on how I make the matcha latte here!

3. Matcha Whisk– This is a great whisk that I use to make my matcha latte nice and smooth!

5. Birkenstocks– I love these sandals for around the house and athleisure wear. These are great for everyday use!

6. Alo Set– I recently got this set from Alo Yoga. It is so comfortable, and I love the blue color! The leggings are super high waisted and flattering and the cropped sweatshirt is the perfect weight and hits in the right spot. The sports bra is also super flattering and goes great with the set.

7. Alo Snake Set (top and leggings)- I just thought this set was so fun and different. I am wearing a ton of athleisure wear lately, and I love that this print just spices things up a bit!

8. Tula Eye Balm– OK-this eye balm is seriously magical. You can wear it on its own or under makeup. It makes your eyes look brighter and instantly makes them feel more awake! Definitely try out this product.

9. Tan Luxe Drops– These tanning drops are a part of my daily routine. I will put a few drops into my moisturizer at night and wake up with a nice glowing complexion. These drops make it so easy to apply and looks even (which I know can be the scary part of self tanning). You’ll love this product!

10. Amazon Water Glasses– These glasses have been our favorites!

11. Brooklinen Sheets– I have been loving Brooklinen lately! This set of sheets is linen and I absolutely love the look and feel! And it is a great price point for an amazing quality product.

There are so many good amazon activewear finds! The pieces are great quality and amazing prices. I think you can find a lot of styles that you can find at other stores but for a fraction of the cost. Here are some of my favorite pieces I have been shopping lately.

The Breakdown of My Top Amazon Activewear Finds

A neutral top is always so cute! I love the neutral color and the twist detail. It ends up being the perfect length – perfect with high waisted leggings or biker shorts.
The perfect white tank is a great basic. I love having a few good white tanks in my activewear wardrobe. This length is also great and hits at a good spot without being too cropped!
I love the bright green on this tank! It is so fun for summer. The little slits on the side are a cute detail too!
This pack of tanks is so nice! I love that it comes with all four colors. These are kind of a mix between a crop top and a sports bra.
These shorts are really nice material and are a mix between a “short short” and biker short. They come in a few colors too!
This purple tank is such a pretty color. I am loving lilac this spring and summer! This is the same tank as the white one above (#2)! I love when you can get a few colors of one tank if you really like it!
Ok, these green shorts are such a nice color- the fit is a little oversized though. They would be good for lounging at home or to sleep in.
Blue shorts are so cute for summer! This color is so pretty and I love the mesh detail and pockets!
I like these grey shorts – they are really flattering as well. They also have pockets and would look so cute with the tanks above!

These pieces can instantly make any outfit chic. Here are some of my favorite pieces. You can shop them all here on their website! You can also use code ALEX for a discount.

What Beach Day Essentials I Love

One of our favorite activities to do as a family, is going to the beach. We spend a lot of time in Florida especially in the winter and it is so fun to make memories playing in the sand and going in the ocean with Julian. I love that there are so many beach day essentials on Amazon that make going to the beach a lot easier (as we know that can be tricky with young children) or even adults! There are a lot of things to pack and remember to bring for a full day at the beach. I wanted to round up some of my favorite beach day essentials from Amazon that we use all the time and hopefully you can find some here that you will love too.

My Top Three Beach Day Essentials

Reclining beach chair
A Beach wagon
Beach tent

My Beach Day Essential Breakdown

Wagon- This beach wagon from Amazon is a perfect beach day essential. Especially with kids it helps to keep all of the toys, the cooler, sunscreen, clothes, shoes, food, all in one place. Also, it easily pulls through the sand. That way you don’t have to fuss with carrying a ton of bags and you can just put everything in the wagon from the car and pull it to the sand right to your spot on the beach. I’m telling you, it is a major life saver and definitely a beach day essential.

Reclining Beach Chair– This beach chair is my absolute favorite. They are perfect for sunbathing, reading, and just relaxing! I love how the chair reclines back to several different levels so you can be comfortable! Additionally, it has a head rest!

Beach Tent- Our beach tent is a beach day essential for sure! Having some shade while you are at the beach is definitely needed. Especially with babies, toddlers or children, it is super important that they have somewhere to stay out of the sun. It is also the perfect place to have lunch. If that didn’t convince you, these tents are easy to put up too!

There’s More!

Beach Toys – Julian loves playing in the sand at the beach! So, beach toys are definitely a must have product for the beach. Amazon has so many great toys for the sand, but this set has so many included like shovels, buckets, castles, and more and it is a great price!

Beach Fan– A beach fan is a great essential for long days at the beach. It can easily clip on to your chair, stroller, or wagon and keep the kids cool (and you too)!

Beach Blankets – This beach blanket is so large and perfect for under a tent! It is nice to have somewhere to sit that isn’t covered in sand! This one comes in a bag and you can pin it down so it doesn’t blow away.

Cooler- A cooler is definitely a beach essential! Pack up lots of water, fruit, and snacks for the day in this Amazon cooler backpack! I love that you can wear it as a backpack and it can store cold and dry items!

Sunscreen– My go to baby/kid sunscreen is this one! The one I wear on my face is Avene and for body, a great one is the Coola SPF 50 body spray.

Sun Hat– Always make sure to wear a hat at the beach whether it is a baseball cap or a sun hat. Sun damage is so bad for your skin, so start wearing a hat and sunscreen whenever outside. This will prevent fine lines and wrinkles too!

My experience with a personal stylist…

I thought it would be so fun to try out hiring a personal stylist for a trip I was going on to Palm Springs! Palm Springs is such an insta-worthy location so I knew I wanted the outfits I brought with me to really match that vibe! It was also an influencer trip, so it was the perfect time to really step out of my comfort zone and try some new styles! I found a virtual stylist on instagram @styledbyflorencia. Her page is amazing and I knew it would fit my personal style as well as offer something new. She offers personal styling, event styling, closet organizing, editorial styling and so much more! To watch the full youtube video of my experience click here!

How using a personal stylists works

I gave her information on my schedule for the trip, (i.e. brunches, photoshoots, cocktail hour, dinners) and my Pinterest boards for inspiration.
Then she sent back all the outfit ideas laid out to my email, I made any adjustments to any pieces I did/didn’t like.
Then she sent me links to all the pieces to purchase!
My personal stylist made the entire process so easy, and provided guidance along the way.
I was also able to put my personal twist on any of the looks too.
