Spring staples I'm loving this week 💐


Hi Reader,

Happy Friday! I’ve been fully in spring mode lately, reaching for lighter layers, swapping in dresses again, and adding a few fun updates to my routine. It’s that time of year where everything just feels a little fresher.

So I pulled together some things I’ve been loving, from easy outfit options like my go-to denim shorts to little upgrades like a peel-off mask I can’t stop using. If you’re in the mood for a spring refresh or just want a few new favorites, there’s a little bit of everything in here 🌸

Friday Favorites · April 10

Saltair Santal Bloom Serum Body Wash

I’ve been using this body wash for months now and it makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated after every shower. The scent is warm and subtle without being overpowering, and it feels a little more elevated than your typical body wash.

Geometry Spring Towels

These are my absolute fave kitchen towels. They’re super absorbent, dry quickly, and the patterns add a pop of color that makes everyday kitchen cleanup feel a little less boring. The spring prints are so pretty. I recently grabbed the strawberry sunshine print too!

Sunzel Leggings

I was honestly surprised by how subtly flattering these leggings are. The scrunch detail gives a nice lift, and the fabric is soft, stretchy, and stays in place whether I’m working out or just running around.

Medicube Collagen Glazed Milky Glow Daytime Peel Off Mask

I’ve been using this mask whenever my skin needs a quick refresh. It goes on smoothly, sets into a light film, and peels off clean. I love that I can wear it during the day (only takes 20 mins) and let it do its thing while I go about my routine.

Quince Bella Stretch Denim Shorts

I’ve been reaching for these every time the sun is out. They have just the right amount of stretch while still looking like classic denim. The fit hits that sweet spot between relaxed and flattering.

Target One-Piece Textured Swimsuit

The textured swim look has been everywhere, and I love how flattering this Target suit is. The classic scoop neck looks great and it's actually comfortable for afternoons at the pool with my kids.

Spring Dresses for Special Events

I’m always on the hunt for a spring dress, and these are some of my favorite picks. From soft romantic florals to classic silhouettes, there’s a perfect dress here for your next bridal shower, brunch, or weekend getaway.

My Slicked Back Hair Routine

Dae's styling cream is my secret weapon for slicked back hair with no flyaways or frizz. I love the purse-size "magic wand" for touchups on the go. Another must-have? SNTE's hair wax kit with combs. By the way, these also work for little girl hairstyles that stay put!

Because this is a food blogger...
