Hi all! We are about to head out for our honeymoon cruise! This week’s blog post gives you a look at everything I’m packing for our vacation. We’ll be heading to the eastern Caribbean for our second cruise – they’re so fun and I highly recommend them!
You’ll see my luggage scale in the freezeframe below – it’s super helpful when packing a bag and making sure you’re under that 50lb weight limit.

I’m back with the weekly best sellers! Last week we saw Amazon Prime Day, and it definitely took over this list.
First, we have two two-piece outfit sets, this one which I bought for my honeymoon cruise coming up next month, and this set to lounge and workout in. The first WILL shrink if you put it in the dryer, so let it air dry. I got both sets in a size small.
The next piece from Amazon is this purse organizer. I use it in my work Tory Burch tote – so helpful! It comes in different colors to match your purse. I have a full review on it here.
The next item comes in a pack of two! This bodysuit set in black and white from Abercrombie – I LOVE their bodysuits! I get mine in a size small.
I’m so happy to see this next item on the list – the foldable dog pool! I’ve already used it for myself a few times this summer. It’s so easy to set up, take down, and clean and put away. Highly recommend! It comes in different sizes too. I got the large size. Check out my dogs’ experience with the pool here.

Last week’s best sellers is for all the dog lovers!
First off, we have this foldable dog pool, which I was VERY tempted to take out over the weekend.. for myself! It’s so easy to use and set up – it’s such a fun way for your pups to cool off this summer. They come in three different sizes – check out my video on it here!
I’m so happy to see the Furbo on the list! It’s been so nice being able to not only check up on the corgis when we’re gone, but I really like the alerts you can set up with it. From “person spotted,” chewing alerts, and even alerts if your pet is throwing up – it’s so helpful! I shot a review on this when we first got the Furbo, you can watch it here.
The Amazon purse strap makes the list yet again – a top, top seller of mine. It comes in several different color options and is comfortable on your shoulder.
This pajama set from Target is so comfortable and perfect for the summer season. It’s light and breathable, plus it’s very cute!
Lastly, these jeans from Express are so versatile – dress up it or down and you’re ready to go anywhere! I have them in a size 0R. I wear them with the ends folded, most of the time.

Are you ready for Amazon’s Prime Day?! This year, the sales started early, which means there will be even more sales to take advantage of on actual Prime Day!
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is a two-day sale event where Prime members can get hundreds of exclusive deals on products through Amazon. This year, it’s happening on July 12 – 13. Prime deals will be across the board from beauty, fashion, electronics, decor, and more!
If you plan on participating on Prime Day, make sure you’re signed up for the Prime membership. This will also grant you access to Amazon Prime TV – we have it and watch shows on there all the time, so it’s beneficial for us to have it! The Prime membership will also allow you take advantage of the “try before you buy” deals on select clothing – another huge benefit!
I wanted to make this blog post to let you all know of the deals happening right now (a lot of items which are still in stock btw!), and to remind you to sign up for the Prime membership, so you don’t miss out on any deals!
I’ve made a Prime Day hub on my Amazon Storefront to help you find the best deals! Check it out here and continue to check back on Prime Day! Right now, a lot of electronics are on sale like TVs, Apple Airpods Pros, iPads and more. I’m planning to make a separate blog post on the actual sale once we get closer to July 12!

Hope your weekend is going well! This week’s video is dedicated to all my designer lovers out there! If you love designer handbags and find yourself window or online-window shopping for them, then this luxury members-only club is for you!
I recently discovered Vivrelle and wanted to share it all with you all, but only after I gave it a full month of testing. I’m now on my second purse and feel that I can really give you a good feel for how it works.
First off, Vivrelle members can rent designer handbags or designer jewelry a month at a time. You will hear a ton of influencers talk about the lowest membership level being $39 a month, but that is ONLY to rent designer jewelry. It’s upsetting, because they never mention jewelry being an option (at least from what I’ve seen online), so it can be a little misleading. My membership is at the Classique level, so I’m able to rent one purse and jewelry (which I haven’t yet and don’t plan to do) for $99 a month.
I’m very happy with my membership level and don’t see myself moving up anytime soon. Personally, my max on this would be $100 a month because I still get great handbag options to choose from in the Vivrelle closet.
I think Vivrelle is a great tool to use because it basically lets you test out bags to see if the functionality of a purse would fit your lifestyle. I think this is so helpful because these handbags cost thousands of dollars! They have tons of options from totes, clutches, crossbody, and more.
Another thing I like about this club is that if you really like the purse you have, you can choose to continue to rent it month after month – so long as you continue to pay your membership fee. The process of swapping bags is also very easy! I recommend “favoriting” bags you plan to rent (even if they are currently borrowed) because you’ll get an email notification when they’re back in the closet and available to rent.
The question I always ask with any membership before I sign up is, can I cancel? The answer is yes, as long as anything you’ve rented is back with Vivrelle, you are free to cancel! One thing to be aware of is that Vivrelle requires a three-month membership minimum. After that, you are free to cancel.
Want to rent luxury handbags? You can use my code:CHRISTINAONAIR to skip to the front of the waitlist! Happy renting! 🙂

I hope you all had a great weekend! Saturday was relaxing, and today (Sunday) was a busy one! I usually try to flip-flop these so I can fully relax the day before I head back in to work, but it doesn’t always happen that way!
Warmer weather means more time on the patio! I wanted to make this blog post sharing all of my patio must-haves. I’m not making this blog post because I think my patio is perfect. In fact, some of the items I’m listing I don’t even have (yet!). So, for me, my patio is kind of a work in progress. However, being in a military family means we will always be moving, so it’s important for me to buy patio items that I know will work in any outdoor space we have.
Here are my top patio must-haves:
Sectional seating – Everyone needs a good sitting area on their patio, and it’s a plus if it’s comfortable! I love this sectional from Walmart and I love that it comes with all-weather cushions and pillows, and a little table with a tempered-glass top. It took some time to put together, but I felt very accomplished once I was done! I liked this sectional in particular, because you can arrange the seats in multiple different ways. The sectional also came with a weather cover, which I highly recommend for all your patio furniture. Even though the cushions are weatherproof, I want everything to last as long as possible!
Swing/hanging chair– I personally love my egg swing chair (mine is out of stock, but I’ve linked other options). It’s by far my best pandemic purchase! I got mine from Overstock on a really good deal that I just could not pass on. It came with both the stand and the cushions. I bought a cover separately from Amazon, so I love that I can leave the cushions on it while it’s not being used. These swing/hanging chairs are such a fun addition to any patio. I love spending time on it – it’s very comfortable!
Smokeless firepit/gas firepit – We have the Solo Stove and while I personally don’t use it much (my husband uses it more than me), it’s still a nice option to have during the summer and snowless winter nights. We have the Yukon Solo Stove, which is the largest size, and I can say it really does reduce the amount of smoke from a fire. I also think gas fire pits come in some pretty nice options too. I like the options I’ve seen on Overstock and Lowe’s.
Outdoor rug – I never understood the point of an outdoor rug until I started decorating my patio. I finally saw how it can really pull an area together. And while our current patio doesn’t currently have an outdoor rug (you can see in pictures that this is due to the ground under the Solo Stove), I’m definitely planning to get one for our next home! I’ll be looking at Overstock for a good deal on one.
Patio umbrella – I have been on the hunt for a good patio umbrella since our first summer in Montana. I actually wanted one shortly after I got my egg swing chair, but we soon found out that we’d be moving to Montana. Now that we are here, I’ve realized the summers are short and the winters are long. So, the umbrella is on my list for our next home – hopefully, it’s in a warmer spot!
Fly Flans – I recently heard about these Fly Fans on Instagram and it’s already in my “save for later” cart on Amazon. They’re meant to prevent flies from flying to your patio table – which is so helpful for food! I believe they come in a pack of two, but I want to place four all over my patio so I don’t get any flies at all! I might be overdoing it, but I hate flies and want to relax on my patio in peace! How does it work? Apparently, they have little reflectors on the wings that flies don’t like! Stay tuned for a product review once I get these in!
Outdoor grill – No patio is complete without an outdoor grill! We got ours from Amazon, but we are planning to upgrade after our next move! I like the options on Lowe’s for grills too!
Flowers – Last, but not least are some patio plants! I don’t have very many, but the one pot of flowers I have on my little table has made such a huge difference! It’s a pop of color and it just adds so much to the space! We have a local flower farm in town, but you can also check out spots like Home Depot or Lowe’s.
While my patio may look unfinished, it’s all helping me plan for our next home and its outdoor space – which I’m so excited for!
