I thought this could be a fun new “series” of sorts to introduce to the blog. Obviously my job is… this. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not also a consumer! I scroll through Instagram, watch Youtube videos, and read (a lot) of blogs so I am often influenced myself. I just love seeing what people are into.
Okay here are some of the things I’ve recently been influenced to purchase:
INFLUENCED
BOW MULES
Influenced by: @nineandsixteen
These bow mules have been my go-to “fun” pair of shoes this summer. My feet started getting sore pretty early in my pregnancy so I loved the option of a mule. Less containment = less chance of blisters.
GLASS STRAWS
Influenced by: @sashaandchristy
I originally bought these for iced coffees and lattes at home, but lately I’ve been using them for smoothies which I simply can’t get enough of.
Influenced by: @kellyinthecity
Kelly and I love sharing what chores we have on our plate with each other… We’re weird and both find motivation from it. (If I tell her I went through a junk drawer, she goes through her junk drawer… if she says she cleaned their grout? I’m cleaning my grout too.) She most recently influenced me to ship this overnight with Amazon Prime– I had to have it.
THE DEFINED DISH
Influenced by: @melissasmrekar
My friend Melissa has been raving about this cookbook. Had to give it a try and so far, so good. It’s filled with healthy and filling recipes. I think I’m just a sucker for cookbooks though… I love flipping through them.
NEWTON CRIB MATTRESS
Influenced by: many people!
I kept seeing this crib mattress pop up everywhere. From Facebook ads to Youtube videos, and I went for it. We needed a crib anyway and the safety features of this one had me totally sold. And it’s washable, which feels like a solid bonus.
PAULA’S CHOICE SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA LIQUID EXFOLIANT
Influenced by: @simply_elsa
Elsa swore by this skin perfecting liquid exfoliant and it is every bit amazing as she says it is! I only use it a couple of times a week and have noticed a big difference. It works almost overnight too– my skin always feels so smooth and looks so clear and even the next day.
MAXWELL & GERALDINE SMOCKED DRESS
Influenced by: @mackenziehoran
After Mackenzie shared this brand, I quickly scooped a dress for myself! You know I’ve been all about everything smocked and I was excited to add a new silhouette into my closet.
DEWDROP RING
Influenced by: @rachmartino
I haven’t actually purchased this yet… but I put it on my short list. And I think I might get it for myself for my birthday! I love the mix of pearl and diamond and how dainty it is.
Would love to know what your latest influenced purchases…
I love the mix of items on here from clothing to chore materials! So fun!!! That ring is gorgeous! I may be influenced to buy it!

We have the Newton mattress in our baby’s crib and love it. It’s super easy to clean!
LOVE this new series!!
I’d be interested in the blogs you follow. I feel like I’m in a rut this way and would love some blogs to discover!
Is the Paula’s choice pregnancy safe? I was told to avoid salicylic acid while pregnant.
I recommend consulting your doctor to determine what is okay for use during pregnancy
Fun series!
I am 100% here for this series! Please keep it going!
You influenced me on those bow mules! I grabbed them the first time you posted them! I’m always looking for a dressy(ish) shoe I can actually walk in! (And afford!)
Would LOVE to see them do this in winter fabrics, like a black velvet or a holiday tartan!
Love this series! Please continue even if you are just telling us about your cleaning supplies
Omg I LOVE THIS! I had been thinking about getting glass straws for a while… bought them here before scrolling through the whole post 😂
I was totally influenced to buy the Nap Dress after seeing it on you and so many others this summer. I love how it seemingly looks great on every body size. Can’t wait to wear it on vacation!
Nap dresses, I own so many now because they’ve been everywhere and look good on so many different body types! Also every book I read – if someone has posted it on instagram, I have either borrowed it from the library or ran to the store to buy!
Just here to agree Defined Dish is an amazing recipe creator! Everything I’ve tried from her has been awesome and always great flavours! My go to for new recipes.
Love this series! Definitely will be tuning in! So fun!
Love this idea and series – please continue sharing!
xo,

I’m the same way about cookbooks—that one looks great!

This is a really fun series! As for someone who uses her spoon for shakes lol (ha!) those straws are a good call 😀 Please keep it coming! 💓
