You guys, our amazing week in Mexico has come to an end.
I am so very blessed to have had this time with these ladies!
As we make our way back home, I have some of this week’s Favorite Things to share 🙂 .
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a wonderful weekend!
I’ll see you TOMORROW for a bonus Saturday post 🙂 .
It wouldn’t be a trip without my favorite travel items!
This week, I brought with me…
…MY TOILETRY BAG and the ONLY MAKEUP BAG I USE FOR TRAVEL!
You guys, how many times am I going to share these gems with you?! They are my FAVORITE traveling duo! I keep MY TOILETRY BAG stocked year around, so that I’m always able to grab it and go without worrying that I forget anything. Anytime I get samples or smaller sized items, I place them in here so that I don’t have to bring my larger “normal” toiletry items with me on a trip. I love my MAKEUP BAG so much that it’s what I use on Nantucket for my makeup too (and not in drawer). Nothing ever gets broken or damaged, it packs up nice and tight when I’m not using it, and when you open it up, it’s easy to see every single item. I buy the 20″ bag and have gifted it so many times. Of course, my HEATED EYE LAST CURLER came to Mexico too!
Speaking of which…
…my roommate on this trip was sweet Mackenzie, and we had matching PJS AND SLIPPERS!
I mean, is my spray tan aggressive or what?! 😉
I have seen EVERYONE on the internet wearing these slippers, and they really are super soft and comfy.
You guys, I’ve made some hair changes recently. I started taking Nutrafol in the spring and when we went to Turks in May, I bought my first ever COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD HAIR ESSENTIALS KIT.
Listen, at some point soon, I should just do an entire post on these hair products, but in a nutshell, I didn’t want to love it because I use their skincare and how ridicules would it be to love their skincare AND their haircare, but I love it. I bought the full sized bottles when I came home from Nantucket and haven’t looked back, so of course, I had to buy another COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD HAIR ESSENTIALS KIT for my travels this fall too.
This week, Andrew has been sending me all the pics of all the fun I’ve missed! Ashby’s team had a great game on Tuesday and won 5-0. My dad took her to this game while Andrew was over at the middle school game watching Smith’s team win big too!
Yesterday…
…was picture day at the elementary school. How sweet are my two littles?! And then last night, they went to cheer on our favorite cheerleader.
This mama loves getting away, but I’ve sure missed my family!
Friends, just a reminder that I have LOVED adding AG1 into my “routine” to help me grab extra vitamins and nutrients to keep me going. My favorite thing to add to my carry-on bag or purse when I’m out and about are their travel packs. I know everyone online and on podcasts are talking about AG1, but I understand why! It’s really such an easy and delicious way to get an extra dose of greatness in your busy routine. Right now, subscribe to AG1 and save $20 plus get 5 free travel packs and 1yr of Vitamin D3K2!
Yay! You guys this weekend is McKinney’s annual Oktoberfest! I am SO EXCITED!
If you are looking for us this weekend, this is where we’ll be. Last year, we missed it because…
…we were at “real” Oktoberfest in Munich 🙂 .
And finally, if you’re looking for the EASIEST and most delicious cookie to make this weekend, look no further than my SUPER SIMPLE S’MORES COOKIES! You guys, these were a big hit last fall with my family, and we’ve brought them back again this year. Once you make them once, you’ll make them again and again and again.
One last thing…
And of course this week has made me think about our family’s trip to Mexico in 2021! It still goes down as one of our faves. You can read all about it HERE.
I hope you have the best Friday, friends! I’ll see you back here tomorrow! xx

Lauren says
The girls looked so cute for picture day! Where is Madeley’s jumpsuit from?
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m actually going to share the deets next week when it’s on sale!!
Sheaffer says
The CR hair products are incredible. The conditioner, the mask, the styling cream, and the serum are all game changers!!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I did not want to love them (because, how cliche?), but I am OBSESSED!
Dana Abney says
Would love to hear your thoughts on the Nutrafol.
Mix and Match Mama says
I have mentioned it several times on Stories, but I need to do an entire blog post on it. I LOVE IT! I started using it in the spring, and it has been such a game changer!
Briana says
Links to the little girls picture day outfits please, they look precious!! And your trip looked amazing. Have a great weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
You know what, next week, I have all the deets on those outfits because they’re about to go on sale! I bought them to share next week and my girls loved them so much that apparently they wanted to wear them for picture day. I’ll share it next week when they’re 30% off!
Amy says
Why do all your kids look so young in that Mexico trip photo?? It has only been two year! They have all grown up so much in the past two years.
Mix and Match Mama says
I feel like they enter middle school kids and leaving adults. It’s crazy!
Ruby Rutledge Huling says
I love the drawstring cosmetic bag but can you link the travel bag!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s also linked too!
Kim says
Hello Shay! Just wondering what you think of the Nutrafol? Do you feel like it had made a difference?
Mix and Match Mama says
A HUGE DIFFERENCE! I can’t imagine not taking it now. I brought it to Mexico with me…I never leave home without it.
Christina Spinella says
I LOVE AG1 too! I think it is the one thing that I’ve added to my routine lately that has made a huge difference. I do wish that the travel packs were packaged differently – maybe in a skinner pouch so it’s easier to dump into a water bottle? Even when I put them into a wide mouth cup, I still spill some out every time!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’ve not that of that, but yes! I would be easier to add it to a bottle of water that way. You’re right!
Shannon says
Good morning, Shay! A couple questions:
1) The PJs say hand wash only… did you do that, or would I be okay being lazy and just throwing them in the washer? LOL.
2) Can you do a run-down/list of what you have in your travel bag for toiletries? I need to pare down!!
3) Did your spray tan wear off from shaving and from being in the pool & ocean?
Thanks, as always, Shay!
Glad you had a fun trip 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Wash and dry for me in my machines. I do not hand wash them. I’m the laziest of lazy laundry girls. Ohhhh! I love that idea of doing a list of what’s exactly in my travel bag. I’m making a note, and my spray tan comes off gradually. I have had mine now since Monday afternoon, and it still looks pretty darn good. I think that’s a big difference between going to get one doing one yourself. Mine will typically last about a week before it’s completely faded.
