June Prime Purchases

I almost missed this link up again. I am putting it in my calendar now to make sure I get this post done ahead of time.

So what did we buy last month?

We bought the silicone body scrubber. After I did some research and saw an article on traditional loofa's, I decided to throw ours out and get these scrubbers. They are extremely soft, lather really well and exfoliate our skin. The girls don't like the bumpier side as much since it tickles their feet. But it gets everything off their feet, so I make them deal if their feet get super dirty.

We have all heard about collagen peptides before. I am pretty sure every blogger has talked about them. Well, we finally gave them a try after my MIL had them out in Graeagle, and it is pretty awesome. I just put a scoop (almost a full scoop) in my coffee, then add milk/cream and froth it up. I can't taste them and it blends in really well. I haven't tried it in just water or yogurt.

Next, I bought a new beach hat. I needed a new non-baseball style hat. I had an old straw like fedora, but it has seen better days. I saw another blogger recommend this hat and I love it. It adjusts to your head and it withstood the crazy boat winds. It is comfy, flattering and cheap!!!

I feel like I have talked about this stomp rocket a few times. We are getting one for my nephew and one for a friend of the girls. These are awesome.

So about a year ago, we bought a Leesa mattress after doing a ton of research. It was great for about 5 months and then it started to just plain suck. We would wake up with hip and back pain and it just wasn't working for us. Some people suggested trying a mattress topper instead of buying a new bed. So we finally bought one after a bunch more research. So far, it has helped. But we have had it for about 2 weeks, so time will tell. We got a latex one after people said this one held up better.

I needed a restock of our melatonin gummies, so I bought those.

And finally, I bought a restock of No Poreblem Primer. This stuff is amazing and way better priced here on amazon rather than Sephora.

  1. I tried the collagen peptides but since I don't drink coffee I had a very hard time swallowing them. I know they say hot or cold but I could not get them not to clump..

    1. I tried it in cold water since I had bought coffee and it clumped a bit. So I read to put it in room temp water and then mix and add ice. That way it won't clump. Hope that helps. Also, I heard this brand clumps less than the Vital Proteins one.

    1. This no poreblem is amazing. It is about $12 or so on Amazon and it hasn't let me down. I use a different one for my eyes (Urban Decay), but this is now my go to for my face. I love peptides!

  5. I've had those collagen peptides on my wish list forever but I haven't tried them yet. Have you noticed a difference in anything since you started taking them?

    1. I feel like my nails are way stronger, longer and not breaking as easily. My nail girl said they were so much better lately. And I have gotten compliments on my skin as well. So I think they are working!

    1. I thought it was such a good idea to get rid of it after reading about them. Ugh. The beach hat is soooo awesome!

  8. We LOVE the collagen peptides! We use them almost daily in our shakes, and they definitely add that something extra we need. Also, I hate loofahs, so those scrubbers are super appealing! Thanks for sharing these!

  12. We need to get a mattress topper. I hate our mattress so much, and we just bought it about a year and a half ago.
