PRIME DAY SUPER-DEALS!!
➔➔ ALL THE PRIME DAY SALES THAT ARE LIVE RIGHT NOW and here some of my own exciting finds.
Don’t forget I’m still in plants & decorating mode right now, so a lot will be stuff I’m getting for my own house (or I already have and LOVE).
Without further ado… here are some of my favorite finds:
Lysol Disinfectant Laundry Sanitizer & Scent Booster <— I USE THIS WITH EVERY LOAD (that I don’t use bleach in). So all my colors, my darks, without fail, I use this (my whites, get bleached). I have dogs, so any chance I get to actually disinfect (while I wash) makes me feel so much cleaner. All the throw towels, the t-shirts, the outdoor gardening sweaty work clothes, socks… ALL OF IT washed with this product. Everything comes out smelling so fresh, and I just feel better knowing there’s an extra layer of clean in that load. So… it’s on PRIME DAY sale, and while I normally buy it at Costco, they are out of stock and pretty much only get it in stock once a year. ROAR!!! At least mine does, and I always have to buy a bunch of bottles, so I’m going to take advantage of this one.
Bedsure King Comforter Set – Sage <— I HAVE THIS EXACT ONE (color and all)!! It’s not necessarily “cooling” 😉 but it’s cute, and cozy and looks pretty done up with a bunch of big pillows and a few throw pillows too. See that waffle blanket? I love that look, and I now you see what I’m going for. Now don’t be fooled, the blanket isn’t AS fluffy as it looks in that picture (supposedly to get that look, it’s multiple layered comforters for the photo), but it’s plenty fine and fluffy once the bed is all made up.
Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector <— EXCELLENT DEAL HERE!!! Small little bottle of hair conditioning perfection (but it’s not actually a conditioner. You put it on your hair AND THEN wash it out and condition etc etc. It rebonds your hair and my hair becomes absolutely silky. Just check out the reviews!!). I usually pay $30 or more for this bottle and it’s on Prime Day sale right now so I’m buying myself another one!!! This stuff ROCKS. —> IT SEEMS ALMOST ALL OF THE OLAPLEX LINE IS ON PRIME DAY SALE (other treatments, shampoo & conditioner etc) so check them all out here.
SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream<— THIS IS MY FAVORITE BODY CREAM IN THE WORLD! Smells decadent and amazing (like tropical fruit but not so fruity, sweet and warmer… richer), everyone stops me to ask me what I’m wearing, and I converted my colleagues at work to it, too. Super moisturizing, and it has caffeine in it I think, to tighten things up. And the name makes me laugh ’cause we call our “butt” a “bum” or for kids, a “bum bum” in Canada.
BISSELL Little Green Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner <— PRIME DAY DEAL!! CAN YOU TELL I HAVE DOGS? This thing is a little powerhouse, and when I’m not having to pull out my whole carpet cleaner (or I don’t have time for the whole shebang) this little guy does the trick. Like… when someone ate something that does not suit his stomach *sideeyes Havoc, my dog!!*), or like when my 16 year old MinPin has an accident, this thing to the rescue. Or when the youngest spills his root beer in his room… this thing to the rescue!!
