Take Five
Five finds for a life in motion
Happy Memorial Day weekend! The unofficial kick off to summer and it finally feels like the warmer days are here to stay. Here’s my five from the week:
Family Friendly Sunscreen - Tis the season! I love keeping a big tub of this sunscreen in the mudroom all summer long so we can quickly lather everyone up before heading out the door. It’s gentle enough for the kids but still feels good on adults too, which means we don’t have to buy separate sunscreens.
Octopus Crewneck - One of my friends here in Maine is an artist who creates beautiful designs she screen prints onto clothing, and this Octopus Crewneck has become a favorite in our house. My three year old now insists that he and his little brother wear theirs on the same days, which I find adorable. They’d make a great gift for any ocean-loving kid!
Greek Chicken with Cucumber Feta Salad - This speedy recipe was a 10/10. We grilled the chicken, but I’m certain it would be just as delicious cooked in a cast iron skillet, as the recipe suggests. Shoutout to my husband, who made this for us on the first evening of the season that truly felt like summer earlier this week.
Air Dry Hair - I’ve hated my wavy hair for as long as I can remember and have had a very codependent relationship with my Dyson hair dryer. But with warmer weather and less time these days, I decided to try Crown Affair’s Air Dry cream. The hype is real! It makes my hair dry frizz-free and incredibly soft.
Sweater Shaver - I finally felt confident that it’s not going to snow again, so I washed and de-pilled all of my winter sweaters before storing them away for the summer. I use this detergent, wash on the gentle cycle, then lay the sweaters flat on towels to dry before going to town with this incredibly satisfying sweater shaver. It’s definitely a labor of love, but I really love my sweaters.
