I will be sharing my monthly favorites each month so welcome to the first edition of Emily’s Monthly Favs ✨
My monthly favs will be a wholeee wide range of things, like my latest food obsession, favorite clothes, favorite place to visit, favorite song, new fav book, etc. The list truly goes on and on.
Boat Days
This should go without saying in Wisconsin in the summer but lake days are THE BEST! We always go to Lake Wisconsin because it’s the closest to our house and we can spend time both tooling around on the water and at the sandbars.
On a side note – the best drink for lake days is a skippie, skip and go naked or whatever else you choose to call it. They’re super easy to make! Just mix one can frozen limeade concentrate, 3 cans of beer and top it off with enough vodka to fill a pitcher.
Cropped Tanks (w built in bras)
Does basically every other girl where this style of top? Yes. But also it’s my fav so I have to talk about it. During the summer (especially hot August days) I want something easy to throw on that also doesn’t feel like I’m wearing much aka a cropped tank, that obviously has to have a built-in bra bc then you don’t have to wear one. Double win.
I’ve been loving this one from the Mesa Collection Boutique (someone I found on IG!). They don’t sell it anymore, but they seriously have the cutest clothes. check them out for your fall favorites and use my code emily10 for 10% off your order!
Self Tanner
I’m trying to say this in the most humble way possible, but I get complimented often about my tan and I’m going to let you in on a little secret – IT’S FAKE!
While I do love my time in the sun (gotta soak up that vitamin d while I can), I always make sure I lather up with sunscreen. To give the allusion of a bronze goddess I’ve been loving the Tan-Luxe The Water self-tan water. It’s super easy to use. After I shave, exfoliate and lather up with lotion I spray up and down my legs, arms and chest area (basically wherever you want a good tan) and rub it in with a mitt.
By the end of the day I’m tan in color and the smell is minimal! I use shade medium/dark.
Frosted Mini Wheats
Please don’t ask me why, but my latest food obsession has been Frosted Mini Wheats. I could not tell you why because I haven’t had them in YEARS but they’re my current favorite breakfast and I think I could eat like three full bowls every morning.
Anyone else have a random food obsession???? 🙋♀️
