Everything I Purchased & Loved on Amazon in November
We’re all so busy these days and Amazon has been a lifesaver for me! I still like to support local businesses and I do so as often as possible but sometimes I can find things on Amazon that I would have to search high and low for otherwise. And…did you know that there are so many small businesses on Amazon that you can support…one of my favorites is Sweet Water Decor (keep scrolling to learn more)? I try as often as possible to link these small businesses because I think that’s important!
As you scroll, I’ll give you the details of the products I’ve purchased and let you know a little more about the items and why I purchased! As you know, Amazon is a huge platform and can be addictive, but also very helpful at times!
***I’ve tried to make shopping for these items easier by adding a button to my Amazon storefront underneath. You can also click on the highlighted text to go directly to the item…
I just ordered this adorable jute rug as a runner for my kitchen. It hasn’t even come but I’m so excited for it to arrive! It’s so unique and it has great reviews! It’s handmade in India and that’s about all I can find out about it. This rug is unique because of the scalloped pattern and I think it’s going to be perfect and it’s priced at $160 dollars! It has a braided texture and a coastal, casual feel.
I’m in love with this book by Neal Donald Walsh - The Little Soul and the Sun, and have purchased it for all of my grandchildren and some other special children in my life. What a gift to know as a young child that you have God within you and the power to create your life as you want it to be. Such an important conversation to empower children to tap into their intuition…in a world that has so much distraction.
“The Little Soul and the Sun is a simple and powerful story that brings children a profound truth: there is no absolute good or bad, only love.
The Little Soul and the Sun gracefully explains spiritual concepts to children and shares a story that helps readers remember the angel within us all. Your child will discover a God that she or he can love, because God is love, as are all the Little Souls who are a part of God. And perhaps parents, too, will rediscover who they really are.
A little soul discusses at length with God how he can learn to experience who he really is and which “part of special” he wants to be. The little soul decides he wants to be forgiving; thus another little soul soon obliges by offering to do something “not-so-nice”, so that the first little soul can experience forgiveness. Such messages as “everybody is special, each in their own way” and “it is special to be kind; it is special to be creative” are important for all children to hear, regardless of their faith.”
I purchased these water resistant, fleece lined leggings so that I could stay warm on cold days when I take Amos for a walk. It has yet to be cold enough to wear them, but on the day that it is…I will be prepared! I also ordered them in a flare style!
This book from famed designer Leanne Ford - The Slow Down - For the Love of Home has inspiration for everyone! I bought it as a Christmas gift for my daughter!
“Designer and HGTV personality Leanne Ford shares design secrets and personal reflections on how she creates her warm, chic, and easy-going aesthetic—and how you can do the same
Leanne Ford’s imperfectly perfect designs inspire more than half a million social media fans daily. In this very personal design book, she shares her decorating philosophy, wry humor, and advice to live by.”
I have three of these sweatshirts and wear them constantly. They are perfect to put on in the early morning and for walks with Amos. I bought a size medium because I wanted it to be longer and oversized.
My hands down, all time favorite lip gloss is from Buxom. It comes in so many colors and feels so good on my lips!
A leopard cardigan is a closet essential. This one is thick and warm and a great length!
This book by Anne Byrn - Baking in the American South, celebrates baking in the South…the stories are just as good as the recipes. A perfect gift for anyone who loves a good story or loves to bake! I have purchased this for myself and also as a gift!
Baldy and I both love Ultima and mix it in water every day! I swear it helps me to sleep and he says the same thing. My theory is that being hydrated helps with sleep. I combine Ultima with Goop Glow, Welleco Super Elixer and Armra for the ultimate morning cocktail. I use the Armra combined with Ultima in the evening.
I’ve taken Goop Glow Morning Skin Superpowder for years and swear by it!
I ordered this plaid tablecloth so that I would have a great holiday tablecloth for outside entertaining. It’s 60 x 84 and only $28! Imagine an outdoor fire with a great buffet on a table with this pretty tablecloth! So festive!
My current book club book - The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James BcBride. I’m planning to start it tonight and have to read fast! I’m determined to finish it before December 3! Have you read this one?
If you build outdoor fires, you need these Fatwood Firestarters. It makes building a fire so easy…even I can do it when I have to! These make a fun gift for and outdoorsy kind of guy!
Cute cute sweater! Great for everyday and for weekends…pair it with a pair of straight leg jeans and your Birks!
One of the cutest sweaters I own! I love the sleeves and it comes in so many different colors. This is the color that I ordered and it’s perfect for fall!
Since I work from home, I’m usually dressed casually and this great top is one I reach for often!
Sweet Water Decor is one of the best brands on Amazon! These candles were created by Melissa Horvat in 2014 in her basement. The company has now grown to a team of 35+ people and is commited to quality, collaboration and care. Sweet Water Decor was named one of Amazon’s Woman Owned Businesses to watch and in 2024, they sold their millionth candle!
Thes candles are made in the USA and each candle and reed diffuser is blended and poured by the Sweet Water Decor team in Pittsburg. They are cleaning burning 100% soy candles and are free from gluten, lead and phthalates. I love these candles and am addicted to the Candy Cane and Cocoa and the Frasier Fur scents for the holidays!
What can I even say…when it comes to working, reading, reading cookbooks, menus or seeing anything up close…I’m basically blind. I also have such a hard time keeping up with readers so I just decided to order readers to keep everywhere! This set of 6 is perfect and now, I have a pair of glasses in every room, and in most of my bags.
Did I really volunteer to host the neighborhood holiday party? I guess I did, but it will be much easier with these chafing dishes! They’re so pretty and hold a good amount of food! I’ll put these out and enjoy the party!
Make your packages as pretty on the inside as they are on the outside with this fabulous tissue paper!
These spools of pretty and soft grey ribbon will make my packages really special!
This gorgeous wrapping paper is the same color as my living room sofa and it’s going to look so pretty on my packages!
