June: Things To Note
Translucent fish charms, the best white jeans ever, natural deodorant that I actually like and a mineral sunscreen that makes my skin glow.
June! My birthday month. Also when the peonies and peaches are aplenty and life is good. The kids are out of school and it officially feels like summer as we prep for some upcoming travel this month. I wanted to share a few things with you that I’ve been loving this past month and becoming mainstay favorites—some I’d consider summertime essentials!
The best white jeans EVER!
I haven’t found a pair of jeans (especially white jeans) that I love as much as the Alex Mill Jane jean. The brand sent them to me for a partnership and I have literally worn them every other day since. The thing I like about them is the fit—I went up a size and love how they hang on my hips. They’re a straight leg style that is very similar to my vintage 501 Levi’s and feel perfect in every way. I’ve been pairing them with these sandals, basic white tees (code Samantha15), a crewneck sweater or cardigan (wearing this one the most lately), a light suede jacket and it’s become my uniform these past few weeks.
Natural scented deodorants > perfume.
My personal scent these days comes in the form of two natural deodorants that I can’t decide which I like more. The older I get the more I stray from perfumes—they can trigger a headache and I prefer that subtle undercurrent of a scent versus a hit you as you walk in the door kind of scent. I also don’t love all natural deodorants but these two are GOOD! First the Santalum by Corpus, which is a very cool woodsy amber scent, and Agent Nateur Holi Rose No. 4, a subtle mysterious rose scent.
