Mega congrats to Rhode, one of my go-to brands for blush and bronzer, on its billion-dollar sale to e.l.f. Beauty!

Without further ado, here’s my hot list for May.

Best of May

Sandals that are practically jewelry are having a moment.

An on-sale gold t-shirt, dark jeans and a belt to level up the entire ensemble is perfect for spring.

Branch Basics sent me some cleaning products to try and as someone who has been hesitant to switch to completely natural formulas, I have to say these impressed me. The counter spray, glass spray and dishwasher tablets are incredible. Snag a starter kit here.
