Prime Finds from May
Today I’m sharing what my family purchased in the month of May from Amazon. I’m telling you it can be a crazy combo when you have a family of six sharing one Amazon account lol let’s get started!
facial drawing t-shirt
Forget hot girl summer. I’m going for cool girl summer instead! This facial drawing t-shirt & these glasses make me feel so hipster & cool & I don’t even know why lol both are really subtle so they’re not far out of my comfort zone. This t-shirt is super soft & fits great — I’m wearing a medium (which I usually wear in t-shirts so they’re not tight). These denim shorts have been my favorite pair that I’ve found all spring! I’ve already ordered them in other colors because I love how much they fit. I sized up one so that they wouldn’t be tight which was a great decision for me. I just love this whole outfit!
Sharing a picture below of how I styled it.

color block dress
Y’all know how much I love color block options, so of course I was smitten over this t-shirt dress. Plus the subtle frill sleeves are darling & so feminine! It’s really light & thin, but not see through at all. I’m wearing a small & would say that it fits true to size. It comes in a few other colors, I just loved this one the most! It gets a little bit longer towards the back which helps with modesty. I’m 4’11” & the front hits right at my knees.
Sharing a picture below of what it looks like on me.
laundry bag
I shared this last month, but since she bought more, I’m sharing it again! My mom came up with the cutest graduation gifts this year! She got these laundry backpacks for the boys & put them in a plastic basket with tide pods, dryer sheets & stain remover spray. Such a great, useful gift!
birk dupes
Birkenstock lookalikes — extra cushion & for only $24.99!!!!! I’m straight up obsessed! I had been wanting some triple strap birks, but didn’t feel like spending the money. I decided to try these ones from Amazon out & I’m sold! I am wearing a kids size 4, I usually wear a kids size 1 or 2 depending on the fit, but had to size up a bunch in these, just FYI. So dang comfy! After getting these for myself, I have purchased them for my mom who purchased them for her mom! They are that good!
stamps
I got quite a few cards & gifts celebrating my masters graduation & I wanted to be sure to send out thank you cards & was in need of some more stamps. I found these on Amazon & thought they were so cute!
graphic tees for Chill staff
I’ve mentioned before that my family owns a sno cone shack in our hometown during the summers. My parents ordered these shirts to add to our collection of what we wear when we are working. They usually have some custom made, but Amazon had so many cute graphic tees that they just let each of us pick a couple!
sunless tanner
I have naturally tan skin that responds really well to sunlight, but as I get older, I’m trying to be more mindful about the amount of time that I let the sun impact my skin. This self-tanning lotion is really dark & works really well on my skin, but it would probably make my sisters, who have much lighter skin, look pretty orange. It’s on the pricier side, but it works so well that it’s worth it to me. I’ve found that it works best after I’ve exfoliated.
kenra hairspray
I’ve shared about this many times, but when you have four girls in the family, it gets purchased a lot. This Kenra hairspray is the only kind I use! It’s the absolute best! It smells amazing, has great hold & doesn’t make your hair crunchy or stiff. It really helps with frizz which has been a big issue here in Kansas lately!
paint drop cloths
We’re getting a bunch of HVAC work done in my school this summer & we were advised to cover everything in our rooms so that they won’t get completely covered in dust. I bought these tarps to cover everything!
painters tape
I also bought this painters tape to keep all of the tarps up & not let any dust get in, while not harming the paint on the walls.
devotion for guys
My sister has a friend who is working at a church camp this summer, so she made him a little going away care package & included this devotional book in it. It’s great because they are short & sweet but still give you a message to fill your cup! Perfect little gift for teenage guys!
rechargeable candle lighter
A long time ago, my mom ordered this rechargeable lighter to keep in the kitchen for lighting her scented candles. I must say it looks like a mini taser & makes a weird sizzling noise, but it does work great for lighting candles! & honestly, maybe the taser similarities aren't such a bad thing -- you could really have some fun with that! Lol in all honesty though, it was a good investment for my mom because she almost always has a candle burning. Because of this little gadget, she'll never have to buy a replacement candle lighter or matches again. My candle lighter recently pooped out on me — on a night when we were having HORRIBLE thunderstorms & my electricity kept flashing lol I ordered this sucker as fast as I could!!!
computer case
My sister got a macbook for graduation & bought this super cute case to go on it. Perfect for heading to KSU! Go cats!!
paint stir attachment for drill
Okay this purchase cracks me up! It is a paint stir attachment for a drill, but guess what my dad uses it for? To make the simple syrup for our sno cone shack lol! Every night we make a new batch & it uses 20 lbs of sugar so having this contraption to mix it up has been amazing!
desk essentials
One of my sisters recently graduated from high school, & my other sister teamed up with me to get her a graduation gift. We got her all the things she’ll need for her desk in the fall in Manhattan! This highlighter set made the list as well as these pencils & a bunch of other items we snagged at Target including super cute succulent magnets!
gifts for my brother
My brother had his 22nd birthday at the beginning of May & these were things he suggested to me: utility knife & 12 Rules for Life book. He’s used both & likes them a lot!
salad spinner
My parents bought this salad spinner to clean the leaf lettuce from the garden & it has been perfect! So gross to see how dirty the water gets!!
feliway refills
I’ve shared about this before because I buy a replacement each month, but this month I decided to stock up because it actually saves money! My cat sometimes has an issue with peeing places in the house that she shouldn’t. That problem on top of the stresses of moving into a new house recently was all the more reason to try out this diffuser specifically designed to help with both of those things. You plug this little guy into a diffuser & place it near the location that you WANT the cat to pee. So for me, mine is plugged into the wall right next to my cat’s litter box in my mudroom. They last about a month & it’s super easy to buy replacements. I’ve been using it for about a month & a half & so far she’s only had one time of peeing outside of the litter box so I’d call it a win! Also, it apparently gives off a pheromone for cats, but I can’t smell anything.
travel mug
This swig coffee cup is so cute & was part of my giveaway for reaching 7,000 followers on Instagram! It comes in tons of patterns & does a great job of keeping my coffee warm, especially when I get distracted at school! My mom thought it was so cute that she bought one for herself too! A big plus of this cup compared to the yeti coffee mug is that it fits in your cup holders in your vehicle.
yoga bras
I’m always on the lookout for comfy bras, especially when they have great support & coverage! These are BOMB! They’re incredibly comfortable & I actually wore them to school as like a “real bra” because they look so great & were so comfy. I know I’ll be wearing them all summer!
folex carpet cleaner
I had heard about this stain remover & decided it was worth it to at least try it out. Y’all it worked after just one use!!! It was so easy too! You just spray the product directly onto the area, irritate with your fingers & a rag & then blot it dry. I will always have a bottle of this on hand! I took it home for my parents to try & my mom ordered some right away. It truly is magic!
leopard earrings
Spicing up my school outfits with fun earrings was my favorite accessory this school year. I found these lightweight leopard ones on Amazon for less than $9!!! They do come in other color / style options as well. The thing I love the most about these is that they’re stud backs instead of having the little dangly part — for some reason, I just like stud backs better. These are fab!!!
Sharing a picture below of how they look on me.
cetaphil moisturizer
One of my favorite drugstore moisturizers ran out, so I needed to restock! I found this stuff because I had a little sample of this moisturizer & had been testing it out for a month or so. When my sample ran out, I started using my other moisturizers, but my face was SO dry! I finally ordered a bottle because I knew it was the only thing that was working for my face at that time. I don't really struggle with redness, but I just really like how silky smooth this stuff is & how hydrated it makes my face feel. I recommended this to my sister who really struggles with dryness & she loves it, too!
airpod pros
My mom bought these airpod pros for my brother for his birthday! Do you have them? I have some knock offs because I just can’t bring myself to bite the bullet!
white block heels
I was on the hunt for some white heels for mine & my sister’s graduation weekend. I ordered both of these from Amazon & was seriously so tempted to keep both because they’re just darling! I ended up keeping the wavy pair on the left because they fit a little bit better (both are size 5.5) & the heel was a tiny bit taller which was a little more fun lol the wooden block pair with the tassel on the right are so stinkin’ cute though!
hummingbird feeds — set of 2
Several years ago when we were on a family vacation to Colorado, my dad fell in love with watching the hummingbirds. We bought him a feeder one year for Father’s Day, but it broke. Since my parents added a sunroom on to their house, my mom realized they had the perfect place for them, so she ordered this set of 2 hummingbird feeders. It made my dad’s day & honestly we have all enjoyed watching them!
toe undies
My sister needed these toe undies for her dance recital. I guess they help cushion your feet when dancing barefoot? The name of them is perfect because they look like toe undies don’t they lol?
mosquito discs
My parents had some gnats in their sunroom from all the plants & after doing some research, they ordered these mosquito discs to put in the plants. One use & they were completely gone. It was crazy how fast it worked!
face razors
Have y'all heard of dermaplaning? Basically, it's a way to really exfoliate your face by gently scraping off dead skin cells & peach fuzz. Now that I've done it a bunch of times, I can tell a HUGE difference in how soft & vibrant my face is! My mom really loves it too. I use these Schick facial razors & they've been great for us! We needed to restock, so that’s why they’re on our order list yet again.
white body suit
I wanted a white t-shirt to wear under the dress I wore for my sister’s graduation & I’ve never worn a body suit before, but I tried this one & it was fantastic! It even washed & dried really well & hardly shrank at all. I’m got it in a small.
energy drink mixes — variety pack
Now that it’s summertime & I have so much more free time, I’ve been trying to get into a good routine. I’m so much more productive & motivated when I get up & feel really awake. I saw another blogger share about these energy drink mixes & she said her favorite was the fruit punch. I snagged the variety pack because I wanted to be able to decide my favorite flavor for myself. I’ve tried all of them (except grape — I’ve hated grape-flavored things since I was super young & I just refuse to try them lol) & seriously they’re all amazing! They’re SO flavorful!!! My mom tried the grape & she said it tastes like a Fred Flinstone vitamin lol I can see that they have a bit of a vitamin-y taste, but it doesn’t bother me at all. LOVE THESE!!!
