Running from the Law: Currently Crushing On

Currently Crushing On

1. Tieks* - Do any of you have a pair of these?  I was reluctant to pull the trigger on buying a pair because of the price tag, but am I SO glad I finally did.  These are the most amazing, comfortable and cute flats I've ever owned!  They are perfect for summer, easy to wear with anything and comfy enough to wear while chasing kids around the city/neighborhood.  They also come in about a thousand colors, so good luck trying to decide which hue to get.  I really wanted a hot pink pair, but they were sold out, so I got a bright yellow/mustard color and I am in LOVE.

2. Platypus Australia swimwear for kids - We were lucky enough to be able to try out a couple swimsuits from the Platypus Australia 2015 collection and absolutely loved them.  You can read my review (and see tons of pictures of the kids wearing their suits) over on Savvy Sassy Moms.  By the way, Jessica Alba's daughter Haven has the exact same swimsuit that Mim's wearing...this is probably the pinnacle moment of trendiness for me.  I've got no where to go but down from here. 

3. Totspot* - Totspot is an app (and website) where you can buy and sell gently-used (or new) kids clothing.  I've now bought four things from there and have been pretty impressed with the quality of the stuff I received.  They have all of our favorite brands for the kids (Matilda Jane, Freshly Picked, Zara, Mud Pie, Kickee Pants, Tea Collection, Ralph Lauren, Mini Boden, etc.) and they make it super easy to shop by your child's particular size if you enter in all their info.  I've also listed a few items on there to sell, which was super easy to do. 

4. All things FLAMINGO - I'm beyond obsessed right now with all things flamingo.  If you've been on Piterenst recently, you've probably noticed my flamingo pinboard that grows by the day.  I've also decided that Mim's first birthday party is going to have a flamingo theme!  I'm so excited about it! 

5. Strawberry mojitos - What to do with all those thousands of strawberries we picked a few weeks ago?  Well, enter strawberry mojitos into my life.  They are amazing.  Try this recipe

6. Cinnamon pita chips - I don't even know what to say about this obsession.  I can't stop eating these.  I need to start buying them by the case.  I really want to dip them in icing, but I've been resisting because I know I probably won't be able to stop myself.  

7. Babiators - These are the only sunglasses Mac will wear.  He wears them nonstop with absolutely everything, whether he's outside or indoors.  We have two pairs, but probably need to buy a few more.  I got mine at Sugar Bit.  

8. Apothederm Firming Serum* - This stuff is amazing.  Your face will thank you.  It says you'll see a difference after 14 days of use, but I could tell my face felt so much better after about a week.  It's light, blends easy and is not sticky at all.  It dries quickly, so I use it every morning and evening under my moisturizer/sunscreen.  I can't even tell I'm wearing it and my skin looks so much better.  Definitely worth it.

* I received these products for review as part of the Savvy Sassy Moms Product Scouts program. All opinions are my own.

Have you tried any of these products?  
What are you crushing on right now?

  1. I have been wanting to try a pair of tieks. I want to find some place to try them on. Do they run big or small? I'm going to have to check out Totspot. The clothes are starting to pile up in the basement.

  9. Totspot - good to know. I *think* I'm about ready to pull the trigger and slowly start letting go of some of Marcus' baby clothes (wahhhhhh!), and this sounds like something right up my alley.
    I'm dying for any kind of mojito. Shoot. I'm dying of those fun summery drinks that involve alcohol.
    Cinnamon Pita chips are the freaking bomb. I could honestly wolf a bad by myself. Within an hour or so. No shame. Sadly, I can.not.find.them at any of the grocers near me. LAME.
