What You’re loving this month so far…

The ultimate wire-free bra for everyday comfort and support, designed by women, made for bigger busts, and even “downward dog tested.” My go-to for lounging, travel, and low-impact workouts. Currently 20% off through 4/28, be sure to follow their size chart, as they run on their on unique sizes.

This EBY bra was a close second–use CARALYNFS15 for 15% off bundles and free shipping. For more wire-free favorites, check out my recent blog post here!

A classic one-piece that actually flatters. The ruching is super forgiving, the fit feels secure without being too tight, and it comes in tons of colors. A forever favorite for a reason.

This Stylest swimsuit was a close second and gives a similar vibe with more sculpting and tummy control. For more swimsuit options, be sure to check out my 2025 swim guide!

An easy, throw-on-and-go slip dress that works for just about anything, dressed up, dressed down, and everything in between. Lightweight, flattering, and comes in plus sizes too (I’m wearing 1X)!

For more special occasion dresses, be sure to check out my curated collection here!

Easy, breezy, and basically begging for patio season. This linen popover is lightweight, forgiving, and one of those dresses you’ll reach for on repeat, wearing XXL.

These taper candles were the real MVP at our dinner party to celebrate BK’s birthday, long burn time, no dripping, no smoke. They have a long burn, and the wax did not drip everywhere. I used these candle holders along with these and these wax adapter dots to keep the candles from tipping.

What I’m Loving This Month…

The perfect throw-on-and-go dress: sporty, lightweight, and insanely soft. 4-way stretch makes it great for travel, errands, or just living your best comfy life. Use CARALYN15 for 15% off, I’m wearing 2X for extra roominess.

Bra-friendly, figure-enhancing, and under $50, this is one of those Amazon gems. Wore it to a girls’ night out recently and felt cute and comfy. Bonus: it has pockets!

Obsessed with this body foundation/bronzer/skin perfector, it’s truly transfer-proof and perfect for smoothing out skin for dress and swimsuit season. The brush makes it so easy to apply and blend. Total game-changer!

These disposable, biodegradable face towels are super soft, durable, and perfect for sensitive skin. I love keeping them in this bamboo box as well. No lint, no residue. I use them daily and they’d make a great Mother’s Day gift too!

I’ve used these for nearly a decade, originally recommended by my dentist! Easy pre-filled trays + sensitive-friendly whitening toothpaste = the perfect combo for a brighter smile without the sensitivity.
