Crep Shoe Protector Spray
Crep Protect Shoe Protector Spray keeps sneakers looking fresh by creating an invisible barrier that repels liquids and stains. Spray your shoes outside or in the garage and this is not only quick to apply and long-lasting, it’s a must-have for busy families who want shoes to last. I spray it on my shoes and my kids!
PackIt Freezable Snack Box
A school supply must have! My kids love these freezable snack bags. Simply toss them in the freezer overnight and they keep string cheese, yogurt and more cold until snack time.
Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer
This is my current go-to daytime moisturizer—it’s lightweight, fragrance-free, and gentle on sensitive skin while still keeping it soft, hydrated, and healthy.
e.l.f. Instant Lift Brow Pencil
Shape and define your brows like a pro with this elf Instant Lift Brow Pencil duo. It has a fine tip for precise application and a spoolie brush for blending. It's a secret weapon in my makeup tool kit.
Touchland x Crocs Limited Edition Mist Case
A tween must-have! Cute, practical, and clips right onto a backpack for easy sanitizing on the go.
Handwriting Triangular Pencils
Back-to-school season is creeping up, and these pencils are the star of the show for younger handwriters. The triangular grip helps kids (and adults!) write neatly and comfortably, and the fact that they’re mechanical means no hunting for a sharpener at the bottom of your bag.
Facial Exfoliation Pore Pads
These pore pads were clearly the go-to pick. They gently exfoliate, refresh, and leave skin feeling smooth, basically like hitting the reset button after a long day in the sun.
Pencil Shaped Erasers
Cute and functional? Yes, please. These pencil-shaped erasers make fixing mistakes way more fun — and they’re perfect for tossing into pencil cases, party favors, or desk drawers.
