Hi, friends!

Happy, happy, HAPPY FRIDAY to you! It’s time for another edition of What I’m Loving Lately and this one is really great. There are a bunch of things I am digggggging this week. Ok, here we go!

Boxed! – Ok, I know I’ve mentioned Boxed quite a few times on CNC, but it’s really the best online wholesale service out there. It’s basically like Costco or BJs, but everything is delivered right to your front door in like 24 hours. They’re really fast! I initially started using Boxed to purchase diapers and wipes, but now I buy everything with it. I just placed my 12th order the other day and bought Quest Bars, canned seltzer, Swiffer pads (endless pug fur at our house), hand soap, applesauce pouches, and I got a FREE selfie stick, carton of coconut water, and saved $10 using my Mastercard. Boom. Boxed really knows how to hook you up!

And now I am going to hook you guys up! If you use my invite code (B8TGW), you automatically get a $15.00 discount when you sign up. If you’re interested in that free selfie stick (while supplies last), just search for it on Boxed and add it to your cart. And use the code BOXEDMC10 to get $10 off your order of $75 or more when you use your Mastercard from now until the end of the month. Happy shopping! Boxed rules.

Mom strips in public to push self-love message – This video was simply amazing. Guaranteed waterworks.

New canvas prints – A long-time CNC reader recently offered to send us a couple of canvas prints from GalleryDirect.com where she works and we happily accepted. We just received them the other day, and we couldn’t be happier. I literally squealed with delight when I opened them! Haha!

It was so easy to create our canvases: Just upload a photo, pick a size, style, and materials, and you’re good to go. Easy as that. The quality is really amazing too, especially since both photos were taken with my iPhone. I assume it’s because Gallery Direct uses museum-grade materials to get such a high-quality look. The photo for the canvas below (now hanging in our family room) was actually from Instagram. Impressive, right?

The second canvas (below) will likely go in our bedroom. It’s larger and in black & white, which goes well with the current decor. In fact, we love this canvas so much, we’re thinking about ordering one or two more from Gallery Direct to go along with it.

FYI: Gallery Direct also sells regular framed prints, oversized art, vintage maps, and so much more. Definitely check them out!

How to Fix Your Period Without Birth Control (Chris Kresser) – This was helpful and interesting.

Moving Comfort Juno sports bra – I love, love, love {times a million} this sports bra. I didn’t think a sports bra could top my beloved Ta Ta Tamers or Comfy Comforters, but the Juno has done it, and I am so in love. My friends at Brooks recently sent me some of their Juno sports bras to test out, and they are my new favorite by far. Here’s what I love about the Juno: It’s super supportive and awesome for running, but it doesn’t have crazy coverage. Some of those high-impact sports bras out there are just plain ugly. You know what I’m talking about, right? They go up to your neck and have super wide straps? I’m sure they work great, but they don’t look cute under a tank top. Well, the Juno is the best of both worlds! It’s a racer-back (perfect for tanks) with adjustable straps, which is also something not all high-impact sports bra have. Well, they do, but they only adjust so far. The Juno has Velcro along the entire strap for a personalized (and perfect) fit. I also love that this sports bra gives you shape– no uniboob. And when it comes to support, this is one of the best sports bras I’ve ever tried. Nothing moves. Haha! Honestly, there’s very little vertical movement and it’s still comfy!
