Goodness, May is over already?! The best thing about it being June is that I celebrated my 29th birthday on the 1st. I am officially in my last year of my 20’s and it’s a strange feeling to know that my 20’s are closing in and that I’m almost 30! Back when I was younger and the Spice Girls were all the rage, being in your 30’s was ‘like so old!’ but nowadays it seems as though 60 is the new 40, right?

Standout Products I’m Currently Loving:
Active/Fitness Lifestyle Product
Columbia Global Adventure Packable Hat, $30 REI
This was probably the best $30 well-spent in quite some time. I purchased this at REI when I was getting ready to spend Memorial Day weekend in Yosemite. Before shopping in the store I did some research online and discovered that this hat is packable (aka you can crush it in your bag and it’ll look great when you take it out), which is useful when packing your stuff in a loose duffel bag.
It fits well, is comfortable, and keeps a lot of sun off your face, neck, and shoulders (but don’t let that be an excuse to skip the SPF!). It comes in two colors, beige and navy. I opted for the beige as I figured it would be better at reflecting the sun and would show less dirt.
Beauty Product
Curel HydraTherapy Wet Skin Moisturizer, $10.99 Target
This product is one that I was recently introduced to in a Target Beauty Box and it quickly became my go-to lotion. It’s easy to apply in the shower before you towel dry. It’s unscented and leaves your skin super soft and moisturized.
I’ve tried a few in-shower / after-shower wet lotions and this one is by far the best one I’ve tried. I found a few of the other brands to be a bit greasy when used as an in/during shower lotion and some of the other brands I found that their after-shower lotion wasn’t very moisturizing. This one is hands down a major winner. I highly recommend it to everyone, not just the ladies.
