Monday’s.... #melsys #melsysillustrations #fashionillustration #art #illustration #mondayvibes #nycillustrator #bostonillustrator

Monday again already?! How do the weekends always fly by so fast? I had a fun weekend despite being on crutches and moving a lot slower than I would have liked but I got to hang out outside a ton and that always makes for a good weekend. Especially when the weather is as beautiful as it was. Recently I've made a few fun Amazon purchases that I just had to share with you guys so today is all about my favorite Amazon finds. 


Miuco Womens Bamboo Handbag Handmade Large Tote Bag Size Small

1 // If you haven't seen the ever so popular Cult Gaia bamboo bags, you might be living under a rock. It seems like every other Instagram picture has one and while I think they are super cute, I wasn't about to spend $190 on one so when I found this amazing dupe on Amazon for $40, I figured why not? It's the perfect spring, summer bag and I love the size. 

Vital Proteins Pasture-Raised, Grass-Fed Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides (20 oz) - Paleo, Keto, Whole30, Gluten-Free

2 // The Skinny Confidential is one of my favorite blogs and Lauryn has the most amazing skin (among other things) so whenever she recommends something, I jump on it. She drinks these collagen peptides every day and I can honestly say I've noticed a difference since I started as well. I mix it every morning with water and lemon.

3 // B recommended this primer a few weeks ago so I decided to give it a try with my most recent Amazon Prime order and it is seriously amazing. I have oily skin and this is perfect to help keep my makeup in place all day and keep my skin shine free.

4 // Years ago I got lasik eye surgery and I've been SO happy with the results. Since I spent a lot of money getting my eyesight perfect, I try to do everything I can to keep it that way so after chatting with Kerri about it, I decided to pick up some blue light filter glasses and they work so great! I never thought I'd actually want to wear glasses again after getting rid of mine but these are cute and help keep my eyes from straining so win/win.

5 // Have you ever put your face over a pot of boiling water before doing an at home facial to help open up your pores? Yeah, me too, but I feel like that isn't overly safe. So when I saw this facial steamer I decided to give it a try. It works great and combined with my GloPro I feel like I'm getting spa ready skin at home and what's not to love about that?

  20. I felt like that girl with her face planted in the pancakes this morning! LOL The bamboo purse is too cute! First time seeing one so I guess I'm guilty of living under a rock! The face steamer sounds amazing to do at-home facials. Way more affordable with all the cool products they have these days to DIY. XO Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
