Watching

There are A LOT of great options to choose from right now! To help ya narrow it down, here are FIVE shows you should watch:

• Lanterns on HBO Max (Very high production value and it stars two of the most

  handsome men maybe ever? Sign me up!)

• Don’t Say Good Luck on Netflix (So good, so sweet! You will cry!)

• Furious on Hulu (Incredible! VERY heavy but it just gets better every week.)

• My Brilliant Career on Netflix (This was delightful!)

• Camp Rock 3 on Disney+ (I’m definitely the target audience for this and yep, I loved it. A fun blast from the past!)

Wearing

These pants are the perfect length, breezy, comfy and they have pockets!!! They also come in three colors. I got a medium!

BIG fan of these jeans. Great length, great price (and up to 69% off right now?!), love the fit!

Loving

These were so clutch when we were moving but I‘ve also been using them a lot lately for storing things we need for different activities or emergencies in the trunk of the car. They also come in handy after a Costco run if they didn’t have enough big boxes!

THIS MASK OMG love it! I like to use this 2 or 3 times a week. It works SO WELL I honestly can’t use it too much or I start to look a lil shiny/plastic lol😅. I’ll put on my usual nightly skincare then lock it in with the mask then peel the mask off in the morning. Truly works miracles!

Looking Forward To

They just announced that Dolly All the Time is officially being developed into a movie! This book was recommended to me at least 500 times when I asked for summer read recs. Super excited to see it as a movie! So here’s the ultimate question:

XOXO, Mary 🥰!

Watching

What I’ve been watching this week:

The Shards - This is an all about the vibes kind of show. If you’re up for that, it’s pretty entertaining! Available on Hulu.

Let’s Marry Harry - I went in expecting nothing but it was delightful! Available on Netflix.

One Night Only - I liked it! It’s not perfect but it was FUN. Hot people with great chemistry and an insane premise. In theaters now!

Wearing

This white top makes my (fake lol) tan POP. And I feel feminine and cute in it!!

I wore this striped top to a park play date the other day and my friends complimented me. Women supporting women!! It’s been in my wardrobe for a while now but I still wear it a lot.

Loving

These are the only zit patches that actually work for me! They stay put and you really can’t even see them! Catch me out in public with one on lol.

Ok I’ve shared this combo a few times on my IG story but it really is my go-to AND at least 25 people have messaged to say they love it too! Yay!!

Looking forward to

So many movies are coming out this month! As always, I’ll try to see most of them but these three have especially caught my eye:

The Dog Stars - “A civilian pilot living in an abandoned airport, ventures into the dangerous unknown after a mysterious radio transmission offers a glimmer of hope that other people worth finding still exist.” Rated R.

Finding Emily - “When a lovesick musician gets the wrong number for his dream girl, he teams up with a driven psychology student to find her. Together, they spark a hilarious campus-wide frenzy that tests their own hearts and ambitions.” Rated PG-13

Tony - “A 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain travels to Provincetown and stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that will shape the course of his life.” Rated R

Love ya!!

XOXO, Mary

Watching

What I’m watching and loving right now:

Sterling Point (I’M OBSESSED) “After discovering she's inherited a remote island in Canada from the estranged grandfather she was never allowed to meet, 17-year-old Annie Jacobson decides to investigate, pulling her into a world of buried secrets, unexpected sisterhood, and the complicated family history she was never meant to find.”

Ms. X (sooo good!) “A suburban mom and her high school friend plot to frighten her unfaithful husband straight.”

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed (feels fresh!) “A newly divorced mom falls down a dangerous rabbit hole of blackmail, murder, and youth soccer.”

Wearing

My go-to t-shirt dress is 60% off right now! A bunch of sizes and colors (in both regular and petite) are still available but who knows for how long so get over there!!

Aside from throwing on a dress, matching sets are the fastest way to feel put together. This is one I have and wear a lot and I’ll definitely be reaching for it even more with school starting TODAY!!!! Mornings are insane lol. It’s almost 35% off right now too!!

Loving

My friend Taylor launched a new book recommendations account!!!!! 🎉
I get asked for book recs all the time and sadly, I normally don’t have many 😂. BUT when I DO, it’s always something Taylor recommends! So I’m teaming up with her for a fun ~chatty book account. She’ll be sharing great recs, book news, pop culture cross over, and more! Check it out!!!!

Looking Forward To

Loving

We threw a little watch party for the newest Descendants movie (7.4 out of 10! For being the FIFTH movie in this franchise, it was surprisingly good!) and we got to bust out our projector for it.

This nail polish! The bright orangey red color is perfect for this time of year and it’s available in gel and regular.

Looking Forward To:

We went back to school shopping over the weekend! It was… expensive lol. In some ways I’m looking forward to school starting up again and in other ways I’m definitely not. Summer went so fast!!!!! But also… I’m ready for some quiet time in my house, ya know? Lol!

XOXO, Mary!

Watching

Guys, lets be real: It’s just been a lot of The Odyssey watching this past week!!!!! I saw it twice, made a few videos about it, talked about it with anyone who would listen, laughed at the memes, and thought about it nonstop. IT IS A MASTERPIECE! If you haven't seen it yet but you’re planning or hoping to, lemme round up all the info I have to help you have the best movie going experience:

Make Your Plan to See The Odyssey

When to Pee During The Odyssey

The Odyssey Parent Guide

Wearing

When I’m not in a theater, I’ve been in a bathing suit. This one is so cute, comes in a ton of colors, and has decent coverage! I have it in a large.

Also!!!! My go-to tank in under $10 right now! Such a great fit,
I can wear a normal bra with it (HALLELUJAH) and it washes well.

Loving

Most step counters are….not cute but I love this one!!! I know it looks kinda huge in the listed pictures but it’s actually a normal watch size and goes well with my tan lolll. It’s not rechargeable but the battery it supposed to last at least a year! Makes me feel FANCY and sporty AND it’s under $30 today!!!

Looking forward to

Avengers: Doomsday comes out December 18th and the trailer went live TODAY!

Have a great week!

XOXO, Mary!

Watching

I forgot to put A League of Their Own on my list of movies with summer vibes! It’s available on Netflix and I introduced my oldest to this masterpiece a few days ago!! We had A BALL. 😏 When was the last time you watched it??

ALSO: I took my kids to see the new Moana movie and…. unfortunately it was a bummer. I wish I loved it!! But it didn’t grab my attention or my kid’s and it just seems like a waste of resources. A waste of resources with good music and some occasional fun visuals!! But a bummer nonetheless. I truly want to LOVE everything I see but I gonna be honest. Sorry!!

Wearing

I went on a little solo trip to Disneyland last week and it was soooo fun! Quick lines and good food BUT it was soooo hot! These shorts were a lifesaver. Breezy, comfy, pockets! I’ve had them for a few years, they hold up great.

Ok this might be a weird one, but I’ve been going to more events that require getting a little dressed up and I was needing a decent pair of shapewear. These have been pretty good for a fair price!

Loving

My kids are obsessed with the ice cream shop version of this toy so when this one went of mega sale I was very excited! It’s under $30 right now!!

Another kinda weird one but we’re talking things I’m loving and on the list today I gotta include our pressure washer lol. Mom life! It’s SO satisfying to use it on the porch, hard to clean area rugs, muddy sneakers; pretty much everything. I can’t be stopped!!!

Looking forward to

RIDE is coming back!!!!!! It’s one of my favorite podcasts of all time and I’m so ready to laugh out loud once again as Benny and MBB yap about anything and everything. If you haven’t listened before, tbh I’m jealous because season one is PERFECTION and if I could listen from the beginning for the first time again I’d be very happy! The next season starts on the 15th. 🥳

Have a WONDERFUL week!

XOXO Mary

Watching

Bait (So good!)

Off Campus (you already know lol I AM A WOMAN OBSESSED)

Guys, the Old Navy shirts were ugly this year and never had the sizes we needed!!! So we repped Team USA instead. (And check out my youngest trying to SILENCE ME. Doesn’t he know I just wanna chat?!!! 😂)

I never thought I’d be a flared leggings girl again but THESE ARE INCREDIBLE. I seriously reach for them several times a week. They wash really well and go with everything!

Loving

These waterproof fanny packs are sooooo handy at the pool or waterpark. I’ve had mine for like 3 years and we use them all the time. Great price, great quality!

This was my most requested link last week and I get it!! I LOVE this combo. My hair has never been shinier!

Looking forward to

Dare I say… I’m looking forward to seeing Taylor’s wedding pics?? 🤪 My guess is we’ll get some actual pics by today or tomorrow! I think we’ll get a carousel post with 5 or so pics and I CAN’T WAIT!!!! But ya know, I will wait. I respect privacy yada yada yada lol.

See ya next week!

• Not Suitable For Work - I love Mindy Kaling! This show takes a few episodes to get into but the vibes are definitely getting there.

Wearing:

This is a year round thing for me but especially in the summer. I wear this sunscreen daily! It’s a fav of a lot of people for a reason, it goes on super smooth and doesn’t feel too heavy or greasy. I’m a mega fan!

Guys, if you’re looking for a bathing suit bottom that is super flattering, comfy, affordable ($20!!) and that goes with every top this is IT!

Loving:

I gotta share about this hair rinse because when I tried to use it in the shower and realized I had run out I was SAD. Without it, my hair is way less soft!! It works so well, so quickly, for under $11! I’m stocking up!!!

Looking forward to:

There’s truly only one movie I can think about right now. If you’ve talked to me about movies for more than a few minutes lately you already know but just in case I haven’t bored you to death about it yet, I’m counting down the days until The Odyssey comes out. We’re almost there!!!!!
