March/April Roundup:
A much delayed spring favorites.
Is it just me, or how is it already April? 2026 is moving even faster than last year, and honestly I’m not sure if that’s a tired mom thing I just need to accept or a universal experience at this point.
Either way, we’re here. And I actually love this stretch of the year. New routines are clicking, I’m still genuinely on track with my goals (not just surviving them), and for the first time in a while I don’t feel like I’m playing catch-up.
So with that, I’m back with a spring favorites list. Some new finds and a few OGs I’ll never let go of.
BEAUTY:
Here’s to the newbies that have blown my socks off.
My day job is rooted in looking good but to be honest I am really a lazy beauty girl. I feel like those memes where the mom only has time to splash cold water on her face with one hand while holding the baby in the other. I can really only thank good genetics and my savior, esthetician Sarah Ford, for having great skin at 34 and never having any injectables or invasive treatments. But with that said, I am loving this new Ziip Microcurrent Device. [ code: HARPER ] Unlike others I’ve used, it feels effective in toning with immediate lift results but doesn’t have some cold sticky gel or feel cumbersome in your hands.
For skincare, I found this minimal ingredient, clean Vitamin C+B+E Ferulic Serum. I’m about 6 months in and can’t see myself ever switching. I’ve noticed major brightening and reduced fine lines. Goop’s new NAD+ Peptide Rich Cream is extra hydrating so with the weather changes this is a must to lock everything in at night. Making my current lineup — Osmosis Stem Factor (my deserted island product), vit c, Exosome Hydration Serum, and the NAD+ cream.
Makeup is something that really has to wow me if I’m going to repurchase or keep coming back. With work, I honestly feel like I am constantly getting served and trying new products. And it does the reverse effect of making you product hungry, you just try something and then move back to your tried and true. That said, I can wholeheartedly say these couple of new players are what I’m constantly reaching for.
Mary Philip’s MPH beauty foundation: Smells clean and lovely (rare in a foundation), blends beautifully, great long wear, I honestly could go on and on. Completely wow’d but this product. Pro tip: get the foundation brush too it’s fantastic
Tarte Tubing Mascara: I totally forgot about this in my mascara rotation and recently repurchased at Sephora for our trip to Costa Rica (I prefer tubing mascara on vacation to eliminate the fall out from humidity). It has great length and such long wear. I purchased the brown and it looks natural while giving giving a lift to the eye.
Sacheu Beauty Contour Stick: Advertised as a contour stain, completely changes the game for long wear makeup. It goes on like a gel texture that I just blend it lightly with my fingers and it dries down into the skin and you dont even need more makeup on top. To me, this is the definition of “gym makeup” to just give a little chisel for everyday life.
Make Beauty Brow Gel: Once you try it you never need another brow product. And it is clean!
HOME:
Add “non toxic mom” to one of my main character titles. I was always conscious but after having a baby this is a non negotiable for me. So here are some new household favorites that you can count on being squeaky clean but super effective.
BIOM baby wipes + all purpose wipes: The container is super functional and ergonomic I keep them on my counter in the kitchen and a mini in my car. They aren’t too wet, never leave a residue and realllly clean. I use the all purpose for kitchen countertops, cleaning up toddler messes, etc. and then I use the baby wipes for my daughters face and hands after eating or after messy activities. And they are at target!
Needed Prenatal: These are my ride or die supplement. I took another more “influencer branded” prenatal during my pregnancy and while I had no issues with it, after birth the postpartum pack just stops with prenatal vitamins which I learned is the leading cause of postpartum issues like anxiety, depression, etc. My doula and OB highly recommended Needed and I now take everything from them. Highly recommend the Prenatal Essentials even if you aren’t actively trying to conceive. I’ve stayed on them throughout postpartum into this next phase of starting to think about baby #2. I also think my amazing hair transformation is due to their Collagen in my coffee every morning. [ code: PAIGEHARPER20 ]
Masa Chips: The cleanest ingredients, great crunch and flavor. Takes away the guilt. [ code: PAIGEH20 ]
Fellow Mug: Truly keeps your coffee hot all day long.
Higher Dose Red Light Mat: Recent purchase and oh my god i’m obsessed! You can lay in on the couch and sit/lay on it while watching tv. You can hang it on the wall for morning meditation or even while doing a workout. You can wrap yourself in it as a blanket. The options are endless. Find it so helpful for muscle fatigue, when my daughter seems like she might be coming down with a cold, and even just for a nice relaxing wind down before bed. [ code: PAIGEH15 ]
KIDS:
I feel like there’s a blank space in mom’s sharing their crowd pleaser kid finds? Well I’m here to let you in on what’s selling in the group chats. Here are my most requested links, no fail entertainment and mom life savers.
Adhesive Coloring Sheets: My daughter is big into coloring, probably her favorite pastime. So I daily put out one of these sheets on her kids table for her to come and go throughout the day prompted to color. The fact they stick and don’t move around allows for less mess and toddler frustration.
Lalo Kids Table: Speaking of kids table this one is amazing and worth every penny. It’s high quality, not an eye sore, user friendly for a young toddler and easy to clean. I notice my independent daughter is drawn to things she can do herself. She likes having control over her space for everything from meals to arts and crafts. We keep ours in our kitchen and it’s one of her most used items.
Soft Crayons: I have all 3 sizes of these amazing crayons that draw more like a marker. They are so soft and most importantly easily washable on all surfaces. They are a great size for kids encouraging proper grip. I keep the smallest size in my purse with a coloring book for dinners or times I need an activity to keep her occupied
NUGGET: We set this up as a “mountain” in our living room for her to climb up and over. She’s obsessed. It can have multiple uses - kids couch, obstacle course, or event a fort. A safe option to let them really test their physical boundaries.
Stasher Bags: These are filled with snacks and fruit at all times. Non tox, easy to clean and best part is she can open and close herself so she can enjoy and have some independence when wanting to snack.
Minnow Swimsuits: Just did a huge order for summer and swim lessons. Amazing quality and so cute.
FASHION:
This time of year is always such a fashion confusion for me. Is it cold enough to keep the layered, cashmere and coats heavy wardrobe going a little longer? Or is it already hitting the high 70s and time to lean into full summer? I consider myself a summer aficionado, so the second I see it on the horizon I’m quickly adding to cart. This month I’ve been finding myself eyeing and investing in more versatile pieces. Here’s where we are at…
Sézane Large Raffia Bag: literal perfection for everything from a daily hold all, beach bag and even could make a vacation bag.
New Doen: favorites that will last through all the seasons. Butter yellow silky skirt. Lace maxi skirt (I wear mine w/ just a tank and sweater over the shoulders in spring). Traveler top. Easy summer dress. Silk wrap dress (the fit of this is so figure flattering and can really be dressed up or down)
Jenni Kayne Cardi: I’m always looking for a travel sweater. Something boxy enough that it can transition no matter the outfit and always looks good slung over the shoulders. This one is coming to Euro with me. [ code: PAIGE10 ]
Dehanche Belt: nothing elevates a basic outfit like a statement belt and these are A+ quality.
Still Here: called the Cool Jean for a reason. I just ordered the milk but love all the vibrant colors for summer.
Frankie’s Bikini Top & Bottom call me basic but this is just a really fucking great bikini. Comfy, minimal but sexy.
Let me know what favs you want me to share next! Summer is coming quickly so stay tuned for all kinds of updates there. Always appreciate your support and I love sharing with all the like-minded out there ;)
