Are you ever surprised when you look back and see the things you’ve bought on Amazon? This month, I was a little surprised! I’ve been really busy and every time I needed something, I would just pull out my computer and order whatever it was. I also ran across several books that I thought would be good and ordered them. Books are always in my Amazon shopping cart!

Here is my iist of everything I ordered from Amazon in March…and why I ordered it!

The Barbizon - The Hotel That Set Women Free by Paulina Bren - I’ve always been fascinated by these hotels in New York where women could stay and make a go of having a career in the big city but still have some protection.

“Liberated from home and hearth by World War I, politically enfranchised and ready to work, women arrived to take their place in the dazzling new skyscrapers of Manhattan. But they did not want to stay in uncomfortable boarding houses. They wanted what men already had—exclusive residential hotels with daily maid service, cultural programs, workout rooms, and private dining.”

I haven’t started reading yet, but this book will be in my suitcase for my flight to Germany!

The older I get, the more I want to know about health and wellness and having quality of life as I age! I find the topic of stoping or slowing the aging process very fascinating!

Tanya Foster had these mugs on her blog and I ordered 4…one for me and one for my daughters! Love this reminder that you can always be the Beyonce in the room!

This one doesn’t really need an explanation…I needed a new toilet brush!

I love books about organizing and especially ones with lots of visuals! The two very different books above are both so helpful and I’m enjoying the tips and the beautiful pictures in both!

I’m working my way through my house and things are feeling much lighter around here! Now if I could just stop buying things on Amazon!

I’m allergic to most sunless tanners…they make me itch. I ordered this one in the hopes that I could have a great tan without the rash and itchiness. It seems to make me itch a little less, but I still do have a reaction to it. I’ll continue to search!

I LOVE black pepper and I love it freshly ground! I have quite a collection of pepper mills and I’m forever running out of peppercorns to fill them! I think I probably should have ordered two of these!

It was definitely time for a new sharp pair of scissors. I need to cut the hems of my jeans and dull scissors just don’t cut it (no pun intended)!

This Honey Aleppo Pepper is hands down my favorite way to add a little kick to foods. I put it on grilled chicken, salads, add it to roasted nuts…the list goes on! It is truly delicious and if you like spicy, you need this in your life!

Everyone needs salt so why not buy one use one that has some nutritional properties? If you’re curious about Himalayan Sea Salt, read this article!

As you know, I’m going to visit my daughter in Germany and she doesn’t have a bed for me. I ordered this air mattress and had it shipped directly to her door.

My trip to Germany made me do it…

I’ve been wanting Apple AirPods for a while now and they’ll be perfect for listening to podcasts and music on the plane! I’m planning to make very good use of my time!

I’m not sure how I’ll fit this bubble blower into the boys Easter baskets, but I know that they’ll love it!

I’m curious…what do you buy on Amazon?
