In this week’s Love List, the SweetPhi team is sharing their favorite weekender bags, which are perfect for a quick weekend getaway. You’ll also find a few great articles about habits, summer entertaining and even a documentary sneak peak.
- I love reading about habits – this post about 10 micro habits that will change your life is really good. I’ve been doing #7 for the past few days and it’s already made a difference in terms of cleanliness.
- I am absolutely loving this collaboration at Target – The Nines by HATCH maternity at Target is incredible. HATCH maternity wear is normally crazy expensive – like $198 for a shirt. The Target collection is amazing and $30 for a dress, and it feels/looks like expensive clothes. It’s honestly the first time I’ve loved a collection at Target!
- The blurred existence of motherhood – I feel like I’ll be in this phase sooner than I know it.
- My old blender, which was great for 8 years, it’s motor burned and it scared me. The kitchen smelled like burnt rubber. I’ve been eyeing a fancy blender like a Vitamix for years tbh but my other blender did the trick. I finally splurged and feel like a kid waiting on my new Vitamix to come. It’s on sale right now in case you’re interested. I might do my summer of smoothies and salads again.
Bridget’s Picks
- Ok, I think I need to get Apple TV. This is the second thing I reeeaaalllly want to see on it. I’ve been a long time lover of Prince Harry – far before Meghan Markle 🙂 And believe so much that mental health should be a more normal part of every day discussion. Anyway, The Me You Can’t See looks fantastic!
- Somewhere along the way, I was influenced to buy this mascara and I love it. The price can’t be beat and I love the volume it gives my lashes.
- I have been a long time thrifter, so when I saw this article, it put a smile on my face. I’ve always been a fan of mixing and matching and creating an eclectic style, so I agree – “use those beautiful plates!”
- I could buy pretty much everything on ban.do, but I am currently crushing on this towel and this cooler bag.
- Ok and one more thing – do you watch This is Us? Did you catch the season finale last night?! I love a good cliffhanger and a show that pulls at all of the heartstrings!
Alyssa’s Picks
- I’m so excited for Summer and doing more things outside. This article was so fun and I love all of the recommendations they had for an outdoor gathering!
- We just bought this speaker to have for around the house and spending time outside! The sound is great on this one and it’s a great size to travel with too. A little fact I always forget about is that Target will price match any item if you find it cheaper at another big box store or even if it’s sold by Amazon so we ended up getting a VERY good deal on this speaker!
- I LOVE these outdoor pillows! Sometimes sitting in the grass isn’t always the most fun but these are so fun. They’re almost too pretty to take outside!
The Team’s Favorite – Weekender Bag
- I love a good design, and a weekender bag with a separate shoes compartment is one I really love. This one is my cheap option. I have one in striped and one in a red pattern. If we’re talking beach bags, one thing I always look for is a ZIPPER! I hate when things fall out, this is my beach bag of choice, just got a new one because the rope strap on my old one broke (after 9 years lol).
- Ok, this one might shock you, but I love a good Vera Bradley weekender bag. They are generally not my style, but occasionally there is a pattern I love. And, ya know I wouldn’t buy one for full price – I’ve even found one at Goodwill before and I love it! Plus my Grandma always used to carry a Vera Bradley bag, so the brand itself always makes me smile.
- I got a bag just like this a few years ago and it’s still one of my favorite things to have when traveling. You’d be surprised how much can actually fit in it too!
