Favorite Things Thursday

Christina:

Mop Shoes



I love the mop socks for so many reasons! My kids love to wear them and help out with the chores, which is a major plus. They are also so nice so I don’t have to bend forward or get on the ground to wipe up the floor which is especially convenient while pregnant!

Anna:

Eyebrow Razor



I like it because you can just do a little touch up on your eyebrows here and there, and it cuts really close to the skin, and it doesn’t hurt as bad as tweezing. Also, you can get the little fuzzy hairs that but you basically anywhere on your face! Also, Christina says it doesn’t make your hair grow back thicker or darker.

Katie:

Lands’ End Swimsuits



These swimsuits are extremely good quality (lined, thick material, etc.), are true to size, and flattering! I bought one pair of bottoms and three tops and couldn’t bear to return any of them! They have some good sales, too.

Favorite Things Thursday: Skin

It’s #ourfavoritethingsthursday here at Joyous Life, Healthy Life and we are featuring a few of our favorite things for our skin! 

Anna:

Aquaphor Healing Ointment

I use on my face, hands, elbows, and lips almost every night before bed during the winter, and to my lips every day. Also perfect when you’re on an acne med that dries out your skin.

Katie:


Vaseline Rosy Lips 

I keep one of these in my car at all times and one in my bathroom drawer. I got it in my Christmas stocking one year and had to buy more when I ran out! Awesome treatment for dry lips!

Christina: 
Aveeno Foaming Face-wash

I have used this facewash for probably 15+ years. I love how mild it is, that it foams, and that it removes all my make up. I have tried tons and tons of face products and I always come back to this one, it’s simply the best!

Banana Boat Self-Tanning Sunless Lotion 
I talked about this product in a post last week- check our feed on Instagram to read more about why I love it!

These are a Few of Our Favorite Things!!!

We love sharing our favorite things with you that make our lives so much easier in our efforts to be more healthy! Starting today, we will do a "favorite things Thursday" post each week on our blog with links to all of the things we are loving and using. This week, we thought we would highlight ten items we use in the kitchen! All of these items we have mentioned either in a post or in our stories. Click on the links and they will take you straight to the item on Amazon!

1) Katie mentioned preparing one big meal per week and dividing into portions for the rest of the week. These stack great in the fridge and are an awesome option for meal prep.  



2) Katie uses the round containers for smaller portions, soups, and fruit.  It's convenient because they come in three different sizes and, again, stack really well in the fridge and in the cupboard.  



3) Anna found this at TJ Maxx but this is about the same price on Amazon, and free shipping! Another great idea for portion control or when cooking for 1-2 people. Plus, who doesn't love mini things??

4) This game board lunch tray was a GAME CHANGER for Christina and feeding her picky kids. They love the game aspect and the challenge of eating the items in order on the game board. It makes it fun, and gives them variety and choices.

5) The price on this set of 3 is unbeatable and we all love our scoops! We use them for cookies and muffins especially, but they can be used to make protein balls, or even to scoop ice cream! Love the different sizes.




6) No more pan liners or pan spray with this little guy. So perfect for muffins or egg cups in the morning, just pop those suckers out by pushing the bottom of the cup through!

7) Christina has absolutely LOVED these cereal containers for uniform cereal storage in her pantry. You can see exactly what you have and how much is left, there is a spot for easy grip on the back and easy pour on the front. Totally worth it!!


8) This is a set of 10. Christina ended up getting two of these sets of 10, and while an investment, it was totally worth it for her pantry storage. Everything is airtight and fresh and you can see everything you have.


9) Great pantry storage item to put things like applesauce pouches, protein bars, snacks, etc.


10. Love these so you can stack cans and spices 3 rows deep and see everything. They are also expandable which is awesome for different cupboard and pantry spaces.
