We’re already halfway through July, which feels impossible, so I figured it was the perfect time to share everything I’ve been loving lately. Pregnancy has definitely influenced some of these favorites (looking at you, ice water), but there are also a few TV shows, beauty products, and random little things that have made my life better over the last couple of months.
📺 What I’ve Been Watching
Pluribus (Apple TV+)
This has been my favorite new show lately. It’s one of those series that has me thinking about it long after I finish an episode. I won’t spoil anything, but if you’re looking for something a little different, I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot.
Rick and Morty (New Season)
This season has gotten surprisingly dark at times, but somehow it still manages to make me laugh out loud. That’s kind of the magic of Rick and Morty—it’ll make you question existence one minute and then hit you with the dumbest joke you’ve ever heard the next.
The Righteous Gemstones
As always, this show is absolute chaos in the best way. Every character is somehow the worst person imaginable, yet I love all of them.
My Adventures with Superman
I continue to adore this version of Superman. It’s optimistic, fun, and just a genuinely enjoyable watch. Sometimes you need a superhero who actually likes being a hero.
Psych (Rewatch)
This has become one of my comfort shows. I’ve been rewatching it lately, and it still holds up. Shawn and Gus remain one of my favorite TV duos of all time.
🤰 Pregnancy Favorites
My Boppy Pregnancy Support Wedge Pillow
I don’t know why I waited so long to get one. As my pregnancy has progressed, getting comfortable has become a full-time job, and this little pillow has made sleeping so much easier.
Ice Water… But Specifically Pebble Ice
Regular ice is fine. Pebble ice? Life-changing. I don’t know what pregnancy has done to my brain, but if my water doesn’t have pebble ice in it, it just doesn’t hit the same.
Open-Face Sandwiches
For whatever reason, these have become one of my favorite lunches. They’re easy, filling, and somehow taste better than a normal sandwich. Pregnancy logic.
Coconut Water
I’ve been trying to stay hydrated, especially with this summer heat, and coconut water has become one of my go-to drinks. It’s refreshing and helps break up the endless cycle of plain water.
💄 Beauty Favorites
Noxzema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth bringing up again. It’s one of those products I never would have thought to buy myself. My dad has always had a jar in the bathroom, so I started using it while I’ve been staying with my parents. Now I totally understand why people have been using it for decades. It leaves my face feeling so clean and refreshed.
Revlon One-Step Volumizer 1.0 Blow-Dryer Brush
I’ve been borrowing my mom’s, and now I completely understand the hype. It makes doing my hair so much faster, and somehow I actually look like I put effort into it.
👗 Fashion Favorites
Old Navy Summer Dresses
If I’m not wearing pajamas, I’m probably wearing one of these. They’re comfortable enough for pregnancy, lightweight in the Vegas heat, and still make me feel put together even when I don’t have the energy to actually get ready.
Bag Charms
I don’t know what happened, but suddenly I’m obsessed. They’re such a fun way to make a bag feel a little more personal, and I’m fully embracing the trend.
🥤 Food Favorites
Little House Jalapeño Ranch Dressing
This has been finding its way onto everything lately. Salads, sandwiches, veggies… honestly, if I can justify putting it on something, I probably will.
💧 My Everyday Essential
My Marshall’s Water Bottle
It’s basically a Hydro Flask dupe that I found at Marshall’s, and I use it constantly. It keeps my drinks cold forever, and considering how much water I’ve been trying to drink lately, it’s been one of my most-used purchases.
I’d love to know what you’ve been loving lately. Have you watched any of these shows or found any random products you suddenly can’t live without?
