It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.
******************
CHURCH CAMP!
So this isn’t just a Friday Favorite for me, this is without a doubt one of my favorite moments of the entire year. And I know it’s only June, but I know it’s going to be in my Top 3 for 2026 even though it was actually Carter’s moment. 😉
Carter went to church camp the first week school was out, and he had the time of his life. He became closer to God and deepened his faith, he became better friends with people he was already friends with, and he made new friends! I mean, isn’t that what every parent hopes for their child at church camp?!? His only complaint was that it wasn’t longer. 🙂
I was glued to the church’s page while he was gone and of course always loved getting glimpses of him having the most amazing time.
I’m just so incredibly grateful for people that pour into kids and make camps like this possible.
What I would have given to see this Michael Jackson lip sync in person. 🙂
He’s already taking about next year of course and just can’t wait to get back. He’ll be chasing that church camp high all year long!
My heart was just so happy all week knowing that his heart was so happy!

BAUBLEBAR IS HAVING A MOMENT
Y’all. Baublebar is having a MAJOR moment, I’m here for it, and y’all need to take notice.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, they are absolutely hitting it out of the park with alllllllllll of their necklaces. They are all the rage right now, and I want my closet full of them and my neck piled high. 🙂
It’s the mini Jane necklaces (multicolor and turquoise) that I’m currently the most obsessed with, and they come in sooooooooo many colors! I have 3, and I’m mixing and matching them right now and using them to bring a bright pop and fun to so many of my outfits! And although I already have 3, I want 3o more (not just mini Janes) to stack. Just kidding. Kind of. 😉
SERIOUSLY. LOOK HOW CUTE.
mini Jane necklaces (rainbow on top and turquoise on bottom) / pleated top
In fact, let me give you a little rundown on just a handful of new outfits that I’ve worn with the necklaces recently…
This pleated top is one of my new favorites and probably my favorite top in my closet right now. The color is so bright and happy, and the little pintucks across the shoulders, down the bodice, and on the sleeves are fantastic. And look at the ruffle on the sleeves too! The v-neckline and the relaxed and swingy fit make this top PERFECT for me. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
These Kut denim shorts have a 4 1/2″ inseam, so they are still short, but not too short. And they aren’t too long either if the 6″ ones I’m highlighting later feel a little bit too mature for you. 😉 These don’t have any distressing at all, and they have a finished hem instead of a frayed hem. So these are the “cleanest” of the bunch I’m reviewing for sure. I’m wearing my regular size 4, but they are very stretchy and forgiving. If you are between sizes, I would definitely recommend sizing down. Depending on how you like the fit, you might want to size down even if you’re not between sizes.
- 4 1/2″ inseam; 25″ leg opening; 10 1/2″ front rise; 14 1/2″ back rise (size 6)
- Zip fly with button closure
- Five-pocket style
- 99% cotton, 1% spandex

I’m of course loving the black too. And even though I think the white is gorgeous, I thought I would be able to wear the black set more often. So I ordered it! It was supposed to arrive earlier this week, but it got delayed, so I will show the set on me next week.

30% OFF AVARA DRESSES on SATURDAY
Now this deal doesn’t start until tomorrow, but you can go ahead and put dresses in your cart and just be ready to press purchase tomorrow!
I’m not sure if all of these dresses are included or not, but we’re going to keep our fingers crossed!
So I have a dress that I’m totally and completely smitten with. This floral shirt dress is one that gives me $240 Tuckernuck vibes, but it’s Under $100! In fact, it’s only $88 and I’m hoping it’s now 30% OFF of that! It’s got a banded collar, a v-neckline, a belted waist, and it’s fully lined. It’s beautifully made and looks like a much more expensive dress than it actually is. This is on the shorter side (which y’all know I happen to like), but if you’re above 5’8″ or so, I’m not sure if it will work for you. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

What’s better than seersucker in the summer? Almost nothing!
The orange and blue color combo on this dress is adorable, the orange accents on the neckline and sleeves really pop, and I love the shape and fit. AND THE SEERSUCKER, y’all! I’m obsessed with the seersucker. I seriously love everything about this dress. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. (I think I could have done a small, but I needed a medium in the chest.) This one comes in extended sizing from XS to XXXL.
orange and blue dress / turquoise heart necklace / multicolor bracelet set / gold bracelet stack / raffia block heels ON SALE
This dress is so unique with the block floral print and all the details. I think it’s so pretty! It’s easy, elevated, lightweight, and effortless. It has subtle puff sleeves and beautiful scalloped detailing along the neckline and hem. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. It’s a very relaxed fit, so you can size down if between sizes.

A NEW (TO ME) U BEAUTY PRODUCT
U Beauty is a brand I’d been hearing about from influencers for at least a year, and as y’all know I tried a couple of the body products for myself and instantly became hooked!
I know lots of y’all are U Beauty lovers too, so I wanted to share that I have a code right now! You can use the code SHEAFFER20 for 20% OFF! The SHEAFFER20 code is good for both new AND returning customers till the end of this weekend – which is a rare offer that only happens twice a year! So this is a time-sensitive opportunity to stock up on favorites, replenish routines, or try products that you’ve been eyeing.
So I already fell in love with some of the beauty products (that we will review in a minute), and now I’ve tried the new “foundation” that’s actually called a Super Tinted Hydrator and am IN AWE of the coverage, finish, and hydration it gives. I still mix it with my Colleen Rothschild Ethereal Glow Serum (in bronze) and the final product is luminous!
And since the SHEAFFER20 code currently works for new AND RETURNING customers, let’s have a review on the products I’m already loving…
Let’s talk specifically about the neck cream. I talked about this product for the first time last month in a Mother’s Day Collage, and lots of y’all ordered it. And I’ve already heard from several readers that are positive they are beginning to see results!
Because here’s the deal… we all know that our necks realllllllllllly show our age, but we often neglect our necks…so I’ve decided that I’m going to start really paying attention to mine and doing everything I can to both prevent and even reverse some aging signs. Now I will say, my neck isn’t really a big problem area for me yet, but I want to keep it that way!!!
Here’s my BEFORE picture. Not bad, but definitely some of what they are calling “tech neck” with those two defined lines that I highlighted with the arrows. (Pay no attention to my sunspots on my chest. Nothing to see here.)
I hope to be able to show a really good personal AFTER picture in a couple of months! I am already seeing some initial results with the skin on my neck appearing firmer and smoother! Now I’m just anxious to see if the couple of horizontal lines I have across my neck will start slowly diminishing.
U Beauty Sculpt Neck and Décolleté cream
If you’re algorithm is anything like mine, you’ve been seeing this brand all over your feed. It’s a little bit on the expensive side, but all of the before and after pictures I see are absolutely incredible and make me think the products are well worth the price. I actually just ordered the Super Tinted Hydrator and can’t wait to review it soon too. It’s make-up and skincare in one!
Back to the neck cream…
It’s a targeted serum to visibly lift and smooth skin on the neck, chest, and jawline. The SCULPT Neck + Décolleté Concentrate helps contour and soften the look of fine lines while visibly improving the appearance of thin, crepey skin—for comprehensive, age-defying results.
AND LOOK AT THESE RESULTS! My lines don’t appear to be that deep, so I’m very hopeful for great results!
U Beauty Sculpt Neck and Décolleté cream
And although this next product didn’t appear in May’s Top 12, I still wanted to mention it again.
Y’all. I can tell you with 1000% certainty that my mom will want to try this product. It’s a revolutionary arm serum with visible firming, smoothing, and anti-aging benefits. This advanced body serum sends nutrients to the skin to enhance skin vitality and energize its appearance for visibly improved texture and elasticity.
My arms aren’t really a problem area for me yet either, but I’m committed to taking proactive steps to prevent future problems. You know what they say… An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
AND SERIOUSLY LOOK AT THESE RESULTS!
U Beauty The Sculpt Arm Compound
I’ve also recently added the Resurfacing Body Compound and the Super Body Hydrator to my routine. I fee like all of my skin (not just my face and neck) needs special attention!
So that’s 20% with my SHEAFFER20 code…
And if you spend $200 right now….you get a Deluxe Mini MANTLE Cleansing Balm + SUPER Hydrator FOR FREE! (Added to your cart automatically.)
WHAT! A! DEAL!

Here is some of their newest inventory…
embroidered linen mini dress / spaghetti strapped sundress (love these colors and this print!) / scallop trim mini dress
I have a couple of smocked maxi dresses in my closet already, but I didn’t have a solid black one UNTIL NOW.
This smocked maxi dress is 50% OFF RIGHT NOW and such a great closet staple. It’s incredibly flattering and can easily be dressed up or down. It has spaghetti straps, but they are removable, and it looks great worn strapless as well.
I’m wearing a small here (I knew it would be forgiving because of the smocking), so I would suggest sizing down (I’m typically a medium).
Here I’m wearing it with gold jewelry and wedges….
smocked maxi dress / multicolor earrings / coin toggle necklace / multicolor bracelet set / raffia buckle sandals
… but I’ve styled it down here with a denim jacket and flat sandals.
This would be a great little vacation dress. Wear it on the plane and then head straight to lunch or the beach. (Remember this necklace is sold out, but you can find a similar necklace HERE.)
multicolor earrings / similar denim jacket / raffia floral earrings / turquoise necklace / multicolor bracelet set / raffia buckle sandals

WEEK IN REVIEW
Monday’s post was for the dads in our lives…
1) Dopp kit / 2) Salt and Stone discovery set / 3) Poncho “original” shirt / 4) bottle opener / 5) On Cloud sneakers / 6) chino shorts / 7) golf bag patent print in frame / 8) cologne / 9) eye massager / 10) portable speaker / 11) PGA tour hat / 12) waterproof flip flops / 13) weekender bag
Wednesday’s post was short and sweet…
I titled the post “5 Fabulous Finds”, but I could have titled it “What I just ordered.” Because yeah, I’m definitely ordering all of it.
I actually already have the beach bag (#3) and it’s FREAKING awesome. I got the 35L, but I wish I would have gone with the 50L. I already took it to the lake and it functioned perfectly (LOVED all of the interior AND exterior pockets), but after I put our 3 towels in it, I felt like I needed more room. I’m very happy with the multicolor stripe one I got, but I also love pink and red stripe too!
The precious white eyelet set (#1) is the definition of an easy breezy summer set. My friend Cassie has it and it’s absolutely adorable on her. I’m so excited to get it!
Statement necklaces are all the rage right now, and this wooden seashell necklace (#2) is straight up fabulous. I’m going to love it with a plain white tee and denim shorts, but it will also look great with several of my sundresses. And I’m guessing it will be precious with the #1 eyelet set too.
The #4 cotton poplin midi skirt is totally charming and such a fresh and fun color. I’m pretty sure this is going to become a staple in my wardrobe.
This terry cloth tee (#5) is adorable, and you can even grab some matching pants HERE. What a great set to slip into after a day at the beach (or just lounging around at my house that’s nowhere near a beach). 🙂
1) white eyelet set / 2) wooden seashell necklace / 3) striped beach bag / 4) cotton poplin midi skirt / 5) terry cloth tee

That’s all for today, y’all! Have a wonderful weekend with your people!
