Prime Picks of the Week

Given the theme of saving money, I thought I'd share of my few favorite items I've featured on social that are currently on sale!

  • My favorite sunglasses: I have 2 pairs of these sunnies because I love the cat-eye shape so much. Check them out here on Amazon​
  • Inflatable Tanning Pool: I ordered this inflatable tanning pool last summer and it was a game changer! It was perfect for giving myself a little pool day on our patio. It's also perfect to help with cold plunges, post long run. Order here on Amazon​
  • The Perfect Foot Massager: This is my go-to relation tool at the end of the night! I love that it massages with heat, compression and various amounts of tension. Learn more here​
