Love List – Movie Nights, Quick-Dry Nails & a Boo Bath

This week’s Love List has a little bit of everything: a couple of movies, a throwback playlist, at-home manicures, and even ant traps. Very glamorous over here, lol. These are the things I’ve been watching, using, and enjoying lately—plus a fun bath idea if you have kids!

• The Love Hypothesis movie – I loved the book, so of course I had to watch the movie! It was cute, and I thought the casting was really good. But hoooly spicy scene – do NOT watch this one with the kids around, lol. Of course I liked the book better, but it was still fun to see the characters come to life.
• Enola Holmes 3 – Another movie I watched and loved! Sometimes you just want something fun to watch, and this was one of those for me. If you’ve seen it, tell me what you thought! I loved the love story aspect too!
• Saturday Night Live is back! – My longtime Saturday night favorite is back, and I’m so happy about it. I’ve been watching for years, and it’s still something I look forward to.
• Quick-drying nail polish — Frankie and I did our nails at home, and quick-drying polish is absolutely the way to go. I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri for hers, and I love how quickly it dries – especially when you’re doing a kid’s nails! For mine, I used Essie’s quick-dry polish in Not So Low-Key the color is soooo beautiful and perfect for fall! A little at-home manicure is such a nice, simple treat.
• A Linkin Park throwback — I heard a Linkin Park song on a reel and immediately went down the playlist rabbit hole. Talk about being transported back! Isn’t it funny how you can go forever without hearing a song and then suddenly remember all the words? This playlist is such a good nostalgic listen.
• Miley Cyrus  – she just released her latest album, it’s amazing like everything else she does!
• Fresca – Have you ever had fresca citrus soda? So refreshing and SO good! One of those things that makes you think, why am I not having this more often?
• The Five Minute Journal – I’ve talked about this before, but it deserves another mention because I use it every morning and I’m personally buying my 9th! Taking a few minutes to start with gratitude really helps set the tone for a positive day. It’s a small habit, but one I’m so glad I’ve kept.
• Ant traps that actually work – A very practical addition to this week’s list, but these actually work! Not every favorite is exciting or cute; sometimes it’s just something that solves an annoying problem. These earned their spot.
• A “boo bath” for the kids — Speaking of bugs…have you ever heard of a boo bath? You put glow-in-the-dark bugs in the bath and turn off the lights. It’s so cool, and the kids love it! Such a simple way to make an everyday routine feel like a special little activity, especially with Halloween coming up.
