July 2024: Things We’re Loving Lately

This month, we’re highlighting products with a touch of summery citrus. As always, these are NOT sponsored ads, and we didn’t receive any compensation for this post. We’re just mamas who swap recommendations on favorite products with friends, so we hope you’ll share a few favorites with us, too.

Word-of-Mom makes all the difference when it comes to finding new things you might need or love.

First up, I’m using a new hand moisturizer this month that I fully admit to buying simply because the smell is AMAZING. I love the light, clean scent of oranges, especially in the summer, so when I was cruising around Target, I flipped the lid on a tube of Jergens Energizing Sweet Citrus Triple Body Butter Blend and took a sniff. I put it in the cart immediately, and I’ve been slathering it on my hands and arms ever since. It absorbs well, and it doesn’t leave my hands feeling greasy. It’s part of the Jergens “Essential Oil Collection,” and here’s a pic of the packaging.

Now let’s talk about your face. If you don’t like exfoliating, you can skip this part. But I do like a gentle exfoliating product for my face that I can use once or twice a week. Some of them are way too harsh, so be careful. But the Olay Brightening Exfoliating Cleanser with Vitamin C feels gentle on the skin, with just enough of a mild grit to make me feel like I’m getting rid of any dead skin cells. The citrusy scent is soooo nice and definitely reminds me of oranges. I keep it in my shower and use it while I’m waiting on my hair conditioner to soak in for a bit. Here’s a pic of what it looks like on the shelf.

Hope you end up loving these new finds as much as we do. Comment below if you have a favorite product we should check out for a future post.
