I need to preface this by saying, listen I told y’all that Q2 and Q3 were going to be expensive.

One. 28″ Checked Wheelie Bag. When I took my big checked case home for the holidays I had a terrible time. When it’s full it doesn’t stand up on it’s own because the stand part of it is broken (and has been for years, I just hadn’t used it for actual travel in a while. And it was one of the two-wheel cases and the four-wheel cases are just so much easier to use. With my travels in July I need a checked bag that will actually work. I really, really wanted the Monos medium check-in, but I just can’t justify the price at this time.

Two. Coach Talina Raffia Platform Espadrille. I got these off Poshmark, they went to my parents’ place infuriatingly, despite me having email proof that I changed my address, so that is beyond irritating. So, I don’t know what they are like.

Three. Old Navy Sleeveless White Mini Dress. I need a white dress for one of the events that is part of my weekend in Phoenix, but I don’t want to spend a ton of money on it, so I’m hoping that this will work. I think I’m going to get it in the “tall” for a little extra length and a little less mini.

Four. Sam Edelman Kia Ankle Strap in Lilac. These are another option for shoes for my trip. I also got these on Poshmark, and these are also going to my parents’ and again I am frustrated.

Five. Ultra Repair Cream Set. I am almost out of my moisturizer, and it’s my holy grail product, especially since Farmacy Green Clean has disappeared with no explanation from the Canadian market. I saw this set on Sephora and thought it would be great to have the mini for travel.

Six. Summer Fridays Heavenly 16 All-in-One Face Oil. I am also almost out of my favourite Biossance Vitamin C + Rose Oil, which I love but is nearly $100 and I just can’t do it anymore, so I’m going to give this a shot.

Seven. Caudalie Vinoclean Makeup Cleansing Oil. I am getting low on Farmacy Green Clean and as previously mentioned it has disappeared from the Canadian market, so I need an alternative. I was debating between this and the Fenty Melt Awf Jelly Cleanser, but the Caudalie is a few dollars cheaper.

Eight. Plane tickets, I need to buy my plane ticket from Ireland back to Canada and then if I can swing it, I would like to go ahead and buy my flight to Toronto for August for my friends’ wedding.

Oh and I forgot, I got the Skims High-Rise thongs and they are incredible. It’s all the good parts of a thong, but with the comfy belly holding part of high-rise underwear.

Thank god it’s a three-paycheque month.

Honestly, I cannot wait for all of my travel stuff to be bought and reimbursements to start coming in, there has been a lot of money out lately.

Have a great month!
