Coffee, vitamins, books, and button-downs—only the essentials were ordered from Amazon in August! Probably going to be the last “normal” month of Amazon orders until baby arrives!

Ashley’s August Amazon Favs
Pill Bottle
I got kind of sick of combining both my day and night vitamins and supplements in the same pill container, so I ordered this 2-pack to separate the two and love it! Light as air and fits everything. I save so much time in the mornings not opening 15 different containers!
Nespresso Pack
It was time to reup on our Nespresso Vertuo capsules, so I ordered this 3-pack of our favorites: Stormio, Odacio, and Melozio! We go through these like water, so I always like to have extra on-hand.
Oversize Button Down
The more pregnant I become, the more I’m only interested in oversized tops and if they’re button-down, that’s a bonus! I love this white button-down I got from Amazon in August. It’s so cozy and can be worn casually around the house or paired with leggings to run errands! It’s the perfect layering piece!
Hair Clips
I don’t know about you guys, but I am so happy the hair claw trend came back with a vengeance from the ‘90s. Obsessed with this pack of gold hair claw clips I got from Amazon! They hold my hair so well and are so fun to wear!
Hatch Restore
If you need a sound machine while sleeping and reading light and a gentle alarm clock in the morning (instead of your phone), this Hatch Restore is 100% worth it. You can control it via your phone, choose from multiple glowing colors, and it truly does it all when it comes to sleep. I love ours so much and don’t know how I slept or woke up without it for so long! I use the red light and night and then wake with a light instead of an alarm every morning at 5!
Vick’s Vapobath
Flu season is upon us, so I always like to load up on Vicks VapoBath bath crystals. This is the best thing to pour into a hot bath if you do get sick. The eucalyptus and menthol help you to focus on your breathing and, combined with warm bath water, it’s sometimes the best escape from feeling like crap.
Pulse Ox
With COVID still rampant, I wanted to have a fingertip pulse oximeter in the house. You can never be too careful, and I’d rather have peace of mind than be panicking!
Mam Pacifier
There’s no such thing as too many newborn pacifiers, so I got another pack of these adorable guys for Baby Girl Hurd!
Shopping Cart Toy
Toots is on the move more than ever and has a fascination with shopping carts, so I figured it was time to gift him his own! I don’t know who has more fun—him or me watching him stuff all his belongings into it!
Chomps Sticks
Always trying to get more protein, and these mini CHOMPS sticks made of pure grass-fed beef jerky are delicious and so easy to stash in your purse or bag! They’re perfect for my GD diagnosis.
Super Human
I just turned 35, so obviously I’m already looking for ways to slow down time and slow down aging. The description of this book intrigued me. Of course, he touches on the obvious ways to slow down aging, i.e. diet, sleep, light, and exercise, but there are other lesser-known hacks I can’t wait to dive into!
Miracle Morning Millionaires
The book that changed my life. Haven’t missed one 5 AM wake up since I finished!
High-Performance Planner
I am obsessed with this high-performance planner. It has a page for every single day and encourages you to check in with yourself and your productivity level throughout the day, which I need! You set your intentions in the morning, write out your tasks, review wins and losses at the end of the day, and that’s just a portion of what this planner provides! Love it so much.
Jesus Always
This is a 365 day devotional that focuses on the Joy of Jesus, and I am trying to get back in the habit of reading this every single morning because it really does keep me grounded!
Pens
Maybe you guys aren’t crazy like me, but when I find a pen I love and that I feel helps my handwriting look decent, I load up. These Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens Medium Point (.7mm) are it.
Natural Calm
Did you know that Magnesium is the most natural calming supplement? This Magnesium powder is so effective for me. It’s also raspberry-lemon flavored so it tastes pretty good! You simply add a teaspoon or two to a glass, dissolve it with a bit of hot water, fill the rest of the cup up with cold water, and chug right before bed! It helps calm and de-stress the system.
