Fun Finds from June

 

We are almost to the end of June (HOW!?!?!) and as I begin my wrap-up tour of the month here on the blog, I have a few finds to share with you. These are random things I learned about or tried for the first time this month, and they were winners for me! Maybe you’ll find something fun for yourself in here!

Kristin Ess Shampoo and Conditioner – I’ve shared with you over the past few months that I’ve been trying out hair products from the Kristin Ess line, and for the most part, I really like everything I’ve tried. The two misses (for me) have been the beach wave spray (my hair texture just doesn’t respond well to it) and the purple shampoo. It won’t lather for me AT ALL, and my hair was not handling it well. But I tried purchasing the Signature shampoo and conditioner, and I really like them. My hair feels clean and good!

TRESemme Sculpting Gel – As mentioned above, the beach wave spray wasn’t working on my hair to give me anything other than a super frizzy look. It’s summer, I don’t want to stand in a bathroom with a hot hair tool forever every morning, and I want to be able to go with wavy hair if I choose! So I grabbed some of this sculpting gel at Walmart. Works GREAT for my hair. I may continue to look for something with cleaner ingredients, but for this summer, this will work!

Chicken Salad Melt – When Ryan and I went to Hocking Hills, we ate a meal at the Coffee Emporium, which was one of our favorite places the last time we went to the area! We shared a chicken salad melt, which I’d never heard of before, and it was amazing. Not healthy in the least, but amazing. It was a chicken salad sandwich, but the whole sandwich was warm, and there was cheese on it, too! So good. So good. I feel like I need to try a version of this at home.

Wristlet – I need to be able to carry my church keys on my person as I move around the church, because you just never know when you might need to access an area that’s locked! I don’t always have pockets, and I don’t love carrying ALL the keys for home and multiple cars just to have my church keys on me. So I bought a wristlet from one of the teens at church and it carries my work keys for me. It’s so cute, and it’s the perfect solution!

Saltand Pepper Grinders – I mentioned a few days ago that I used part of a gift card to purchase salt and pepper grinders for our kitchen. They feel so fancy to me when I’m cooking. I like them! I also like that the openings are covered, so they don’t collect dust.

Boot Cleaner – To be clear, I don’t own one of these, but I might have to get one. When we stayed in Hocking Hills, there was a boot cleaner outside our hotel. I used it several times to dig mud out of my hiking shoes before entering the hotel. It worked really well, and I thought it might not be the worst idea to get one to have at home – and to stick in the car whenever we go hiking, because mud is no joke!
