My Five Must Haves For Spring

Spring Must Haves


Spring is in the air, and I have been itching to start switching out my closet. Sayonara, sweaters!

I have a few spring favorites that I wanted to share today. Here's what I'm loving!

As soon as the weather warms up, I start noticing the ol' "Makeup Slide." You know, where by 10am your makeup just isn't exactly where you placed it two or three hours before. As soon as heat and humidity start kicking in here in the South, I turn to my old standbys: Benefit Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer (1) and Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (2). These two products help ensure that I still have on blush at the end of the day. And blush is totally my favorite makeup product.

One sort of odd item that I've been enjoying recently is a cooling foot spray. Due to this pregnancy, I have a lot more weight on my little tootsies each day, and random leg cramps at night are the pits. This peppermint spray version from Body Shop (3) is really similar to the one I own, which I couldn't find online. Ian's been running a lot lately, so before we get into bed at night, we spray down our feet and calves with our spray and it is so refreshing and tingly! Maybe a bit on the random side, but it feels so spa-like and I just love it.

Starting this weekend, we plan on spending lots of time outdoors getting some plants in the ground. I like to do all of our yardwork before showering for the day, so a good baseball cap is a necessity. This year I WILL purchase a monogrammed version (4)! How have I gone this long without one?!

And I have to give a mention to my favorite flip-flops of all time -- yes, maybe they are more for college kids than 32-year olds, but I just love my trusty Rainbows (5). I have literally owned my pair for more than 10 years (does that gross you out?). Hmm. Maybe that grosses me out. Mental note: replace those bad boys this year.

What are your spring must-haves? Do we share any of the same favorites?

  3. I swear by the Urban Decay Primer Potion. I have the anti-aging kind and use it every single day. Thanks for the recommendation!

  4. I really need to try that Benefit primer. I swear when I look in the mirror in the afternoon, I wonder what the heck happened to my makeup.

    I have never owned rainbows, but this might be the year that I do :)

  5. I love Benefits Cosmetics! I also like Loreal's Lumi Foundation. It's so light weight and living in South Florida, it makes you look glowy without melting off your face. Great finds!

  14. I love reading other people's must haves. I actually do a linkup every month with my "Favorite Things." So much fun!

    Anyways, I definitely need to check out that primer, because I'm like you...my makeup just slliiiides down my face as the day goes on. Not cute, especially with eye liner. HA!

  16. Awesome picks! I have been wanting to try that Benefit face primer for awhile now. I love the idea of just "swipe and go"! The peppermint foot spray sounds fantastic for tired feet (which is always an issue I'm dealing with) I'm adding it to my shopping list now!

    xo Always, Abby

  18. I need that primer- it's that warm here yet but I hear you about that makeup slide! Its the worst. That foot spray sounds amazing- I might need to try it out.

  19. Try Sanuk flip flops and you'll never go back! They are made of yoga mar material. SO comfy!

  20. I love that cute monogrammed hat! Anything from Body Shop makes my fav list too! One of my BFF's works for corporate so she is able to get me lots of goodies. My new fav is banana conditioner! Also, I should probably be ashamed to say that I have had the same pair of Rainbows for at least 10 years too. I wear the heck out of them and they are still in one piece!

    Have a great night!
