This month, I've rediscovered a lot of old favorites that I always mention in previous posts but haven't used in awhile:

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara is awesome for long and thick but clump-free lashes.

LUSH Sex Bomb Bath Bomb smells heavenly and leaves the bath water pink.

Glass nail files are the only way to go to avoid breakage and get smooth edges with minimal effort. I've used the Sephora Glass nail file for nearly two years but I wanted more to keep everywhere - my car, purse, and travel bag; these were a great find.

This month, I also have a few "random favorites":

Larabars - I first discovered these about two years ago in one of my very first Birchboxes. Kroger constantly has these on sale for 10/$10 so I've slowly been trying all of the flavors. The bars are great for a light meal or snack on-the-go. They're made from whole foods and have pure and simple ingredients - not to mention, they're extremely flavorful!

Kashi GoLean Crisp! Toasted Berry Crumble Cereal - I'm slowly but surely cutting all dairy from my diet. Finding a cereal that tastes amazing with almond milk has taken forever. I've finally found the perfect combination - it reminds me a little bit of Cap'n Crunch Berries cereal... but more healthy, of course.

Polarized Sunglasses - My eyes are pretty sensitive. I'm never outside without sunglasses. Even on those cloudy-but-bright days, I'm the weirdo wearing sunglasses. Recently, I made the switch to polarized sunglasses and I don't think I'll ever be turning back. The glare is cut and colors are so much more vivid; it's a little easier to see.
