march favorites
I thought it would be quite fun to add in a monthly favorites to my page to reflect on my month and the things that made it better! Both material and non material! I may or may not implement these every month, I’d love to know what you think and if you would even like to see more of these. Knowing me some months may be the absolute same as previous since I’m such a creature of habit!
Though nonetheless, I love sharing these things with you all and I LOVE hearing your feedback or ideas on similar items/things you do that you love! Let’s be real, most of the things I’ve come to love have been recommend by a friend or just random finds, I’m a firm believer that sharing is caring 😛 So let’s give it a shot!
MY MARCH FAVORITES
1.) Costco blanket
ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Absolutely this has to be number one on my list when it comes to my March favorites. If you know me, you know you can never go wrong with a blanket, or a candle, in my life 😛 but honestly, after finding this blanket I’m not sure I’ll ever set eyes on another one the same!
I laugh a little because I’ve only met a few friends here in my new city and I’ve actually had someone I’ve never met but is a friend of someone I have, say to me “you’re the girl that has a blanket everyone needs to get right?” LOL should I be embarrassed orrrrrr…. 😛 It’s just THAT good and I’m not at all embarrassed HAHA!
Side note, on the Pendleton website these blankets are left $599… I’M SORRY, WHAT!!!!! How does Costco get away with selling them for $40?! <— I don’t need to know, as long as they keep doing it 😛
This is SUPER hard to find in stock online, I struggled for a few days (and of course can’t find it right now) You’re able to get it on amazon but for more $. So be on the lookout on your next Costco run, or “splurge” on amazon because it 10000% worth it.
2.) amazon whitening tooth paste
*Recommended by a friend who’s opinion I trust, and she has beautiful teeth sooooooo. Not only that, the reviews on the product are definitely in it’s favor! Therefore it’s a MUST in my March favorites.
I posted about this product on my instagram and a week later I had a friend (who has ZERO social media so would never know I had this or even shared it) FaceTime and the first thing she said was “wow your teeth look so white!” I was shocked! It had only been a week and of course, I see my smile/teeth everyday so any small changes I wouldn’t really notice right away. I’ve also felt it makes my teeth feel super clean all day. And also had a friend say the same thing! Weird!
*It prides itself on removing intense stain – so my fellow coffee lovers, this was made for us 😛
After those two above, there really is no specific order in which I’ve put the following items!
3.) PDF PRINTABLE FITNESS/HEALTH/HABIT TRACKER
I don’t usually, at all, care about the numbers more so than how I FEEL. But I’m also a type A super organized control freak that likes to keep things on track with lists, and SEE results! Like I said, if I feel good, I don’t care what any number is. But also seeing that all of your hard work is actually working – that is a great feeling!!! Seriously, you see yourself every single day of your life… the chances of you actually noticing any change (small victories!) is very slim, so why not keep note!!
I have these SUPER cute and EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY, affordable PDF printable that I use to help keep me on track and to look back on! my favorite is the habit tracker 😛 being able to color in that circle (or make it a smiley face 😛 ) everyday is SO satisfying and rewarding! Idk maybe I’m a little OCD organized nerd! Non material March favorites: get extra organized!
I HATE protein powder. I think it’s thick and gross. BUT SERIOUSLY, this is the absolute ONLY protein shake I will drink (and I drink it every morning!). I’m not exactly sure what makes it so different, but I don’t really care! Also, my fitness freak/numbers guys of a husband went over the label compared to others and this is the best one. So, win win!!
My absolute favorite flavor is the peanut butter cup, but it was recently sold out (here in Canada) so I went with the chocolate cupcake HOPING it would take just as good. And YUP! So good!!! Therefore, March favorites baby! I mix one scoop with 6oz of almond milk every morning. *I just saw a TikTok saying that almond milk isn’t the best nondairy milk sub because of all the sugar… (am I listening to tiktoks nowadays? yes.) so I may be looking into other options for that. But for the time being, I will be wasting no milk!
This too was recommend by a friend whom is also very very big into her nutrition game, and I’m thankful for that 😛 I’ve shared it with a few other friends over the past year and they’ve not had any other protein shakes since! LOVE IT!
Alright, these were a march purchase that I’m LOVING!!!! Definitely a March favorites! I have a pair of white puma sneakers that were super cute and would be super comfortable, if I had the right size! So if you happen to snag them, just go up a half size!! But THESEEEE, these are probably the most comfortable shoes that I own. And they seriously go with everything!
I know the AirForce 1’s are big right now, but honestly when I tried them both on, I liked these better! (personal preference!!) I like the low ankle look and the non chunky sole! Either way, they get a 10/10 from me purely based on comfort… and convenience!
I got mine at DSW (linked above) but if they are sold out there, nike has them on their site for only $5 more, here!
This was not exactly a March PURCHASE, but it is finally a month where I can wear it comfortably so THAT is all the reason to add it to my March favorites! (I basically live in the North Pole!) I’m so excited to finally be able to throw this cute and freaking comfortable coat on when leaving the house and not freeze! It’s the perfect spring coat!
It comes it so many other colors as well that I just LOVE! So I’ll for sure be adding to the collection down the road. If you’re looking for more basic staples in your closet for spring, here ya go!!! Speaking of amazon and spring attire, here’s my post on my amazon spring outfit haul if you’re looking for some cute springy outfits!!
7.) GRIND2FIT AT HOME WORKOUT PROGRAM
Now, speaking of living in the North Pole ^ leaving the house in -52F degree weather is NOT something I EVER want to do (why do we live here again?), especially to go workout yeah? Not only that, but when it’s nice and sunny and I just want to get a quick 30/45 minute workout in so I can enjoy the rest of the day, commuting to the gym is also not something I want to do. GRIND2FIT online has been the GAME CHANGER I needed in my workouts. I could go on and on about this program but I’ll just leave it at how much I love it and what all it comes with!
You get on-demand and LIVE classes of dance fitness, tone, HIIT, barre, and yoga. Yes, ALL of that… and the price? OMG. Only $29.99 a month. INCREDIBLE. Ugh I just love it so much. The tone classes are my favorite, but you literally cannot go wrong with any of them!

Super fun March purchase that I’m loving! Kev and I, as you know, like to travel and explore! So taking pictures is usually always 100% done by our selfie stick! We are not fans of asking strangers all the time, the pics never turn out in our favor so we’ll keep to ourselves! Our OG selfie stick that I’ve had since 2014, and has been to MANY places with us, finally took it’s last shot! And let me tell you about this upgraded selfie stick. It literally doe sit all!
It comes with a built in ring light – say what! Yes, lightinggggg! It also TURNS! You’re able to take a horizontal photo or even a vertical photo. Amazing! But wait fo rtes best part… IT HAS A BUILT IN STAND!!!! Seriously!!!! If you’re wanting a further back photo.. set it up on a rock or literally whatever nearby and use the little bluetooth button to snap. I LOVE IT and cannot wait for allllllll of our amazing trips this year to use this bad boy!
I even filmed a little TikTok to show you exactly what I mean. 😛 (thinking I should start implementing more video content for you all so let me know if this is something that is more helpful?!)
I hate to sound cliche, but this little notebook has really done some good for me. I roll over in the morning to turn my alarm off and it’s the first thing I see. Therefore I grab it, and it takes me probably less than five minutes to fill out. Right now a lot of the entries I write are repetitive because… there’s not a whole lot going on in my life at the moment (LOL) but thats also the beauty of it, right? And then of course every night when I go to turn my lamp off I quickly grab it and reflect on the day!
Honestly, it is a little pricey for “just a notebook” but there is a whole, what feels like a chapter or so, at the beginning that you read and is really beneficial. But of course, if it’s not practical, you can totally come up with a set prompt and set aside any notebook to do your morning and nightly writing!
*For me, it really helps that it doesn’t leave room for negative complaints. It’s only asking about the GOOD that happened in the day. So yes, you can have a “bad day” but you can at least acknowledge the “good” that happened in the day as well! <– this is what ya girl needs at this stage in her life 😛
Satin hands has always been a favorite of mine! Though I ran out a while back and just now finally restocked so it feels like a new product to me! It’s seriously the best. Did you know that us women are the first to talk about anti aging skincare (in our face and neck!!!) yet our hands age the exact same! Why don’t we ever talk about taking care of them? Have you ever heard your grandmother comment on how “old” her hands look?
YES I am aware that aging is a natural process and we will all be old and wrinkly/saggy at some point. But what I’m saying is we spend so much time on prolonging that process on our faces… we need to be doing the same for our little hands!!! That’s all 🙂 if you’re into skin care as much as I am, I have a few posts in that category but since we are talking about anti-aging, I’ll share that one with you now!
Anyway, this has been such a nice little addition to my self care days and I love it even more now that I live in suuuuuch a dry city. (North Pole or Desert, which one is it?! Beats me)

WALKS – I’m not sure what the weather is like where you are, but for me and my new city, it is FINALLY “walkable” outside! No more -52F, no more painful losses of breaths when you open a door! Walking outside during the day has TRULY been a serious game changer for me and I am FOREVER freaking thankful for my health and ability to go for walks in the sunshine! <3
PODCASTS – There’s nothing I love more than listening to podcasts while I’m outside walking in the sunshine! Even while I’m at the gym (depending on my mood) I’m most likely choosing to listen to a podcast! You all know my absolute favorite is DATELINE. I’m completely caught up on all of them… (yes, all 443 of them..) So when that notification hits that a new one is out MAN does that feel good! I also love to listen to business podcasts. I absolutely LOVE learning new things and seeing what all is out there!
FRIENDSHIPS MADE – March was a BIG month for me when it came to meeting friends. As you all know, I moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada almost a year ago and am unable to legally work! So with that, I don’t get out much with other people… and meeting friends as an adult is freaking HARD, especially when you have no reason to leave the house. Anyway, I’m grateful for the girls I’ve met so far and cannot wait for some of the things we already have planned for this summer!
Thank you all so much for being here and reading my posts! As always, please subscribe to be notified first, when a new post of mine is published! How exciting! See you next post!
XOXO – B
