Prime Purchases

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello and happy Monday!

Well, we’re back from California which also included an 8 1/2 hour car ride yesterday from KC. I drove the kids there last weekend, stayed a few days, met Travis in California, then flew back to KC Saturday night and drove to Lex yesterday. To say I wish I could have slept in this morning might be the understatement of the century…haha

but…

Today, I officially head back to school. Our students don’t start until next Wednesday, but they added all of our professional development days to the beginning of the year rather than sprinkling them throughout the year (or letting us get our own PD in the summer…not really “best practice,” but what do I know? Can you tell I’m bitter?)

Anyway, since it’s the first Monday of the month, Tanya is hosting her Prime Purchases link up!

I did have quite a few purchases, so here we go…

Clothes:

I hadn’t really purchased many clothes this summer from Amazon, but did buy a few things over the past few weeks that I’ve been wearing quite a bit.

  • I’ve shared this romper already a time or two when it was worth mentioning in other posts, but I haven’t shared it in a Prime post yet. Actually, I bought this romper mid-June, but I wanted to wear it a few times before sharing. Like I said before, I don’t know if it’s the most flattering (on me), but it’s comfy, and I like the pink color with my tan.
  • This three pack of biker shorts were something I wanted to try. Now, I’ve yet to leave the house in these biker shorts, but I’ve used them for at home Pilates workouts, lounging and even pjs with a t-shirt. I really like them.
  • This cap sleeve sweater is one of my favorite purchases this summer. It’s lightweight, comfy and cute. Truly, I love this sweater. I wore it twice in Florida and twice in California…not that you have to go on vacay to wear it, but I was so glad I packed it. I know I will wear it to school too.
  • This tiered tank is perfect for summer nights paired with white denim.
  • I have this t-shirt in two colors. I knew it was oversized, so I bought it in medium, and it’s perfect. Then I thought it would be good with the biker shorts in a size large, and it does provide enough coverage. So, I have this t-shirt in purple and the rose color.

Books:

  • Like I said in my What I’ve Been Reading post last week, I purchased The Five-Star Weekend because the library waitlist was long. I read it in 24 hours while in Cali. IT was SO good.
  • I picked up this word search book to do on the plane because sometimes, if I feel anxious on the plane, I can’t concentrate to read. I did quite a few of these on the plane, in the airport, or just lounging around in the morning. I love a word search.

Health:

  • Like I shared in my “What’s in my shower” post last week, I’ve been buying this Selsun Blue for Hayden. He doesn’t have itchy scalp, but I guess it can be good for skincare too. Again, he doesn’t use it as a face wash…just when he washes his hair, and it trickles down his face, there are skincare benefits (and he’s getting his hair washed!)
  • I’ve been putting a scoop of electrolyte powder in my Stanley cup for my workouts, and I really like this orange pineapple flavor.

Prime Day:

I had a few Prime Day purchases…

  • I bought this little portable speaker for Hadley because she’s always looking for Trav’s. It didn’t arrive before our trip to Florida, so I think I’m going to save it for her birthday.
  • I needed more of my collagen powder, and the Vital Proteins that I always buy was on sale.
  • I’m loving my Stanley cup and wanted extra straws. These were on sale that day too.

So, what have you been Priming lately?

Also, I want to say thank you for the blogiversary love on Friday…I really appreciate the comments and will choose a winner soon. I hope to post pretty regularly this week, but I will just have to take it day by day…re-entry is rough!

I hope you have a great Monday.

  1. That is really annoying about dictating your PD on the front end, but I am so proud of you for not letting that dictate a travel opportunity! You can be tired at a PD! Ha! You made some great purchases and I am so intrigued by the tiny speaker! The biker short big tee is a 90s look that has come back. I have two pairs of biker shorts with pocket on either side and I swear I wear them at home so much because I put my phone in one pocket and my airpods in the other and I can be hands free and clean and cook and do all my home stuff a well as wear them to work out.
    Good luck today – I also need it. They are making us do rotations both teacher days to get information that could be sent in an email. There are also other meetings and one starts as late as 3:00 on the day before we see kids. What? Read the room!

    1. Today, I co-present five times …the other three days I can listen lol
      We have two days at school rotating and two days at district rotating. We’ll be dizzy from so much rotating haha
      The alarm was rough this morning.
      Biker shorts and t! Very 80’s. These don’t have pockets but that would be so handy!
      Read the room . So funny! And yes. I hope you have a great day back

  3. UGh! All those PD days at the start of the year do not sound like fun at all. I much prefer when they sprinkle them in throughout the year. Most of our school up here adopted a monthly (or sometimes even bi- monthly) 1/2 day where they get their PD time in and the kids all love it! You totally influenced me to buy that sweater and I’m off to check out that romper.. again. I keep looking at it and talking myself out of it but I know I’d love it.

  5. Our district here did the same with all the PD days- they put them at the beginning of the year. So our teachers went back last week on Monday and students start tomorrow (Thursday). I think that’s a long time to go without students! Most of my friends who teach feel the same as you. I love the clothes you recently purchased! So, what do you do with your collagen peptides? Do you add it to coffee, another drink, or water? I’m curious and have been looking into them for us. A couple of the men in our house are thinning in their hair. One of them started taking Biotin last week, but it’s more expensive than the collagen peptides.

    Thanks for sharing! My favorite purchase from Amazon were the two dresses I bought. One is a peachy-pink, one is navy blue. I love them both!

    1. It’s been so different having all of these days before students. Usually we would have started today, but now we don’t have kids until next Wednesday. I put a scoop of the collagen in my coffee. I have no clue if it’s working 😆but I do feel like my hair is doing better.

  6. I have that same romper in navy and I love it. I legitimately don’t think it’s supposed to be flattering. I think it’s supposed to be trendy and comfortable so I’ll take it 🙂 Good luck on back to school!
