AMAZON SUCCULENTS


I have mentioned them a few times before, but I wanted to do a full (non-sponsored) review on my recent Amazon purchase, boxed succulents.

If I had to rate this purchases it would be a 10/10.
 I am so happy with these and I loved the price! I ordered these ASAP when I realized they were on sale back in the summer. I was able to get them when they were 50% off, so if you are going to purchase these, I would definitely recommend waiting until they drop the price again. You just can't beat a succulent that's under $2.

They arrived in a small box that was clearly marked, 'fragile' and there was a nice layer of air bubble packing to keep them secure. They came with instructions on what to do as soon as your receive them and instructions on how to care for them once replanted. 

I replanted them into new ceramic planters and I have placed them all over our house. We have some in our guest bedrooms, entryway, living room, and kitchen. They are the perfect touch and add a little bit of greenery here and there. The best part? They require very little care. I just water them about once a week (or a little over a week when I forget) and make sure they are getting plenty of sunlight. Some were small enough that I was able to plant two per planter





Who would have thought that you could purchase plants on Amazon?? 
Whata time to be alive, friends!

5 ON FRIDAY | AMAZON FAVORITES

We are huge fans of Amazon Prime over here. We buy a variety of things on Amazon and most of the time, because of extensive research on our ends, we love our purchases. So I thought I would share a few recent Amazon favorites with you today.

As soon as we moved back into our house after having our floors done Matthew suggested that we buy a robotic vacuum. I was very hesitant about this at first. I thought it was silly to have a robotic vacuum when I could easily sweep and vacuum myself. Matthew was very intrigued (the tech side of it) and kept bringing it up not so casually in our conversations. I tried to get him to wait until Black Friday, because I was sure there would be some good sales on them around that time. Well being the researcher that he is, he found one on an Amazon Warehouse deal that was around half the original price. So we agreed that we probably wouldn't get it for much less than that on Black Friday and pulled the trigger. I have to say that it is probably one of the best purchases we have made in 2018! I absolutely LOVE it and gave Matthew full rights to say "told you so". It connects with an app on our phones and all we have to do is open the app and push start. When it's finished it will send us a cleaning summary and it's a blue print of the area it covered. I usually start it while I'm working at home or while we're outside. I should also add that Matthew has named him Arvie. 
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE Y'ALL. 

Matthew surprised me with this a couple of weeks ago and I have already lost count how many times I have used this. We buy block cheese and shred it ourselves (cheaper and better for you!) and our regular grater made a mess and and eventually broke. This thing is so handy and makes shredding cheese a lot easier. I have sliced some potatoes really thinly to make potato wedge fries too. Best part, it can all go in the dishwasher for an easy cleanup!



We got one for our front door and one for our back door and LOVE them. The colors go so well with our decor and look beautiful against our new dark hardwood. It's not too much color, but just enough. I can't take credit for this though, Matthew picked them out. We have tossed around the idea of getting the runner size for our hallway upstairs, too! We put these on the bottom to keep the rugs from sliding.


I have heard a ton of good things about this make up "eraser" form different beauty/lifestyle bloggers and vloggers, so when I found it on sale a few months ago for $12.99 shipped, I decided to try it out. It works really, really well! It takes off my waterproof mascara so quickly. I don't have to rub each eye for 60 minutes to get it all off either. Disposable make up wipe removers never did that for me. All I have to do it use a little warm water on this and it does the trick. I have tested it a few times and used my toner on a cotton pad after taking off my make up and the cotton pad was clean. Like I said, I just use warm water with it and rub my make up off. After that I wash my face with my face cleaner and rinse my face off with water and my hands. I use it during the week and usually wash it on Fridays. When it goes back on sale I might grab another one to have one to use while one is in the wash.


I have made soups and sauces in this and LOVE it. It's hard enamel and nonstick, so basically it's perfect. I love the Marine Blue shade too!

Now tell me, what are some of your recent Amazon purchases that you just loved?!
