Happy Friday! Friends, you will not believe what I just found: some of my favorite new items that I can’t stop using. They are the best hidden gems from lesser-known brands. Each of these items is either comfortable or useful, and is even better than what I was using. Each of these is an everyday items that make my day better. Help me feel put together and confident when I walk out the door. If it is a beauty brand, bras, or clothing, I know you’ll love these new favorites, too.
What’s in my Shopping Cart (Hidden Gems from Lesser-Known Brands)
Salt and Stone
I couldn’t stop seeing everyone rave about Salt and Stone’s diuretic, so I had to try it. I have been using natural deodorant for a few years now. I find it works better than deodorants with aluminum. I have tried several natural brands, but none were perfect until I discovered Salt and Stone. Let me tell you, I can go all day without worrying about smelling. It glides on nicely, and all the senses are light and naturally smelling. I can see why everyone was raving about it, and I know you will love it too. Let’s all do better for our bodies.
EBY Bras
Over the past 5 years, the bra industry has recognized a need for more affordable bras for women with larger busts. For years, I had to visit specialty bra stores and spend over $200 on two bras because the more affordable stores didn’t offer bras that supported my chest and made me look good in my clothing. Recently, I needed to find some new bras, but the store I was going to closed.
So I decided to try the Bra brand I was seeing everywhere. I was excited to try them (their prices were on the affordable side, they looked nice, and they do not have underwire). I am sure you have been seeing this brand too. EBY is my favorite new Bra brand. I love how comfortable they are to wear (sometimes I forget I have a Bra on).
I have two of their styles—one that goes over your head and one that clasps in the back. The only thing I dislike about the two styles I have is that they sit a bit high and don’t fit well with low-cut necklines and some of my dresses. Other than that, I love them. They run true to size, hold me well, and are comfortable to wear.
Ruti
This new-to-me Clothing brand (Ruti) reached out and wanted to gift me a pair of their jeans, and I am so glad they did. They are some of my favorite jeans. They are soft and fit true to size (I have on a size 6). As for length, they are a cropped jean and they are a tad long on me (I am 5’3″), but I am ok with that because I have been looking for jeans I can cuff, and these are perfect for that.
Something else that is great about this brand is that they carry petite sizes. Short girls, let’s celebrate since not all brands carry petite sizes. These jeans pair perfectly with a sweater and sneakers, as well as a classic top, flats, a t-shirt, a baseball cap, and clogs. I know you will love these jeans as much as I do.
