I shared all of these finds and a few more in this section of my Amazon shop!
01. I swear this mini laundry brush is magic. Something about the stiffness of the bristles and the shape? Super easy to wield. I can get out just about any stain using this with this spray and a little bit of liquid detergent. In the four days we were away, my children managed to stain about 12 separate articles of clothing with hot chocolate, including my son’s knit Minnow set (which is one of my favorite outfits he’s wearing this season!) and my daughter’s beloved smiley face sweatshirt. I couldn’t believe it, but I was able to get every last stain out of every article of clothing using this combo. I will say that I’m on my second or third laundry brush at this point — the bristles do fall out over time (and with heavy use…which is what’s going on in my case with two young kids!). Not on Amazon, but I also ordered this scented detergent (so many of you raved about it!) to use for my towels / sheets. Cannot wait!
02. Our friends brought this little one-player brain teaser game with them on the ski trip and everyone was hooked. Ordered one for us to have, too.
03. I’ve been on a major English Breakfast tea kick. I enjoyed at least one or two mugs a day while on the ski trip, and I love Harney’s recipe. I like to serve with a little splash of cream and sugar — probably sacrIegious to some!
04. Been reading the heavily-hyped Fourth Wing book the past week or two. I am having trouble getting beyond “the cringe” of the main character, but it is a fun and popcorn-y kind of read, and my sister, friends, and I have been having a blast texting about who we’d cast in it. (If you’ve read it, who would you cast as Xaden? I proposed a beefier Rufus Sewell (a la “The Knight’s Tale”), but my sister imagined Tyler Hoechlin or Alessandro Dellisola (“I was thinking more swarthy”) and my girlfriend thought of Rege-Jean Pere (from “Bridgerton”). One of my truest joys in life is talking about books with friends.
05. Not yet ordered, but in our cart: this Thule cargo pack and this Thule ski rack.
06. I am all about that pouch life. Any time I travel, I find the need for even more. These little pouches are great for organizing kids gloves/hats or small batches of things (e.g., if they’ll need a change of clothes somewhere) and I got these for mini’s hair accessories and little toy sets (perfect for LOL surprise).
07. Treated myself to this $40 sweatshirt.
08. Bought a replacement for my mini razor. I’ve had the same one (by Venus) for years and years and just realized how dull it was on my last trip. These are the best size/shape AND they now come with replaceable blades!
09. Ordered Ilia concealer and liquid powder eye shadow. I love the eye shadow so much (I wear it in cork almost daily!) that I bought a second tube, and I’ve been looking for a good everyday concealer with a bit less coverage than my tried and true Kevyn Aucoin SSE and a better price point than Cle de Peau (which I prefer to use as a sort of “top coat” / “perfector” level after applying everything else).
10. Restocked our kitchen hand soap. We use these pumps at the two sinks in our kitchen and just refill as necessary.
11. This is the only body wash I’ve ever used that actually gets rid of back breakouts. Swear by it. Just reordered! (I use this and then top with this luxurious, beautifully scented body wash after. BEST scent.) Equally unglamorous: just bought some retainer cleaner. (Does anyone else have a trick / product they like for keeping retainers clean?!)
12. For our recent car trip, I bought a few activity books plus some new sketch pads and these funny little fidget toys.
13. Can’t wait for this hyped mascara to arrive!
14. Bought Mr. Magpie these souper cubes on your recs! I know he’ll love using these for freezing his stocks / soups. Thank you for the tip. (More great kitchen/food storage recs in the comments on this post.)
15. My favorite daily planner. Lots of room for lists / notes. Bundle with these fabulous pens (my favorite ever) and get ready to shake hands with the blank page!
16. We are loving this game! We played it tons over the ski trip with our friends, but there’s also a two-player variation that Mr. Magpie and I have enjoyed, too. And my kids are OBSESSED with this game we gave them for Christmas.
Not Amazon, but also wanted to share two VERY exciting packages I came home to this week: the first was from Petite Plume and included the most adorable patterned sheets for my daughter. Perfect for Valentine’s Day (and also year-round). I also like this waves set for my son. (More of my favorite details in his bedroom here.)
The second parcel was from my beloved Leset! If you’ve been reading for awhile, you know how much I rave and absolutely adore their pointelle tees (I own in multiple colors and both LS/SS versions). They surprised me with the pointelle cardigan and pants, plus their popular Margo tee! Cannot wait to wear these…
P.S. More of our favorite home gear here and here.
P.P.S. Recently updated my shop with lots of chic new finds.
P.P.P.S. Lots of great new Shopbop hearts.
I swear by denture tabs for cleaning my retainer!
Hadn’t thought of this – thank you! xx
We have the Thule cargo pack and love it! It’s a must-have for road trips and allows us to seat more people + the dog as needed (we have a 8-seater SUV) but you do have to factor in clearance when driving into parking garages, etc.
Also, reporting back on my latest Quince purchase. I’m obsessed with this La Ligne dupe! Literally gasped when I took it out of the bag. It’s such amazing quality! https://www.quince.com/women/100-organic-cotton-striped-crew?color=navy%2Fwhite&productPosition=1&searchQuery=striped%20sweater&tracker=landingPage__search_section__search_results
Yay! I’ve also been so impressed with my Quince purchases – thanks for sharing that one!
