SMEG Tea kettle

From the Italian-based company SMEG, known for its retro-look appliances, this whistling tea kettle comes in a choice of fun colors. I particularly love it in red. It beautifully captures the playful 50s vibe.

Curve Equality Jeans

Like many women, I’m always searching for a great-fitting pair of jeans, which can be quite challenging. Depending on your body type, jeans might accentuate one curve while sagging in another area. With a variety of body shapes to consider, Curve Equality recognizes that although women come in different shapes and sizes, and all want to look and feel great in their jeans. I know that I’ll get a lot of wear out of these ankle skimmers in frosty yellow.

Trader Joe’s Panolpy of Organic Italian Pasta

I could eat pasta every day, so I’m always changing it up with different shapes and types. Trader Joe’s Panoply of Organic Italian Pasta is a box that contains five different artisanal pastas. The colors are all natural and plant based. Great as a gift, too.

Vacation’s Whipped Cream Sunscreen

At first glance, I thought “Why are they selling whipped cream at Ulta? But its not that kind of whipped cream. Instead, it’s a treat for the body. This light and airy sunscreen features a nostalgic tilt valve applicator that makes it fun to apply. And it contains so many moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil, aloe vera, banana extract, Shea oil and vitamin E, all of which absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue.

CHAPTERS Mini Fragrance Gift Set

A great way to sample four fabulous fragrances. Salt and Sun Fruit are so right for right now. Give it as a gift or keep it for yourself.
