Weekend Reads | 2-15

Happy Friday…hope you guys are getting ready to have a wonderful three day weekend.  Lots of President’s Day sales links below and plenty of reading material for you in today’s weekend reads.  This week’s theme is a few of my favorite things!

Weekend Reads | 2-15

First off, let’s talk about the infamous Amazon coat.  This is undoubtedly my favorite purchase of January.  I’m wearing it in the olive green here:

Weekend Reads - Amazon Coat

So I shared a little bit about it on my Instagram stories, but I really do think it’s a great every day winter coat ESPECIALLY for the price.  It’s on Amazon for $139 and comes in five colors.

So what I like about it:

  • super warm and comfortable
  • cute oversized look
  • tons of pockets
  • price

What I don’t like:

  • zippers and little pulls…they just feel cheap- mine almost got stuck with my keys inside with me outside!

Also…the $16 jeans I’ve worn three times this week…(wearing in the photo as well)

Let’s discuss this little contraption and cupping for cellulite as a whole:

Cupping for Cellulite Cellu-Cup

I mentioned purchasing this a few weeks back from Sephora ($18), after reading a piece on the benefits of cupping for cellulite.  Over the past month, I used the Cellu-Cup on a few tummy spots three times a week and got fire-cupping on the backs of my legs from a professional spot here in Portland.

I think that both these things have improved the appearance of cellulite a decent amount, enough for me to continue doing it at least.  As with anything, it’s no miracle worker.  It’s not going to make everything go away if you are living an overall unhealthy lifestyle to begin with, but I do think it has improved the tone of these spots on my body.

And placebo or not, I definitely felt a lot more confident in a bathing suit than I have in a while.
