April Favorites: Spring Essentials

May 8 - Written by Alexandra East

Spring is here... and seriously I could not be happier!

Warmer weather is here to stay and with that comes our top picks for the essentials you need in your spring collection. Each and every item in this list has been thoroughly tested and loved by yours truly. (Just click the product images below and it will take you directly to the site)

Our first spring essential is Intelligent Change's "The Five Minute Journal." When I say this journal has changed my relationship with journaling I MEAN IT!

We have all bought a journal at some point in our lives and promised to consistently write in it everyday. That same journal ends up wasting away in your desk or nightstand drawer for eternity. Well so no more to that because this journal is quick and easy and is proven to work. Just leave it next to your bed and let it be the first and last thing you do each day.

When I say this perfume has changed my life, I swear by it! Pretty much all of Replica's scents are amazing and in my humble opinion the creme de la creme of all perfumes, but this scent in particular takes the No. 1 spot on my list.

This perfume is an inviting vanilla scent that feels like being wrapped in a warm hug. Seriously, it is the perfect amount of sweet and fresh all in one. Not to mention Replica perfumes actually last all day which is not something I can say about most perfumes.

Looking for the perfect organic vase that doesn't just scream "My house only has beige"?

This pottery barn French Glaze 16"H Vase is the perfect spring essential to add some color into your home. Paired with the right florals, it is screaming to be the centerpiece on your coffee table.

Speaking of the perfect floral for the vase above, I introduce to you these elegant faux hydrangeas by Afloral.

Spring is hydrangeas and everything that comes with them. They are the perfect florals for a timeless and elegant look that reminds me of an east coast estate. And if we are going to get faux florals we might as well get the best right? Afloral has the most realistic and long-lasting faux florals on the market.

This limited edition Staub Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven from William Sonoma is the perfect Spring essential for your kitchen. Because if we are going to cook to might as well do it in style!

It comes in three different sizes perfect for any meal you need to prep whether you are cooking for one or hosting friends and family over for a dinner party. I am telling you this is easily my favorite cooking tool in the kitchen.

With spring comes dry wind, especially here on the West Coast. This restorative protective cream by Avene is the most hydrating product that offers a lightweight feel on your skin.

This may be my favorite product on this list. It has completely transformed my skin and actually restores your skin barrier without clogging your pores AT ALL! It has given my skin new life and the best part is... they sell it in stores at TARGET!

When it comes to unique dinnerware and glassware, Anthropologie is the place. Like seriously it is the only place I shop for fun dinner and glassware.

These Latte Stoneware Side Plates are no exception. The perfect spring plate comes in multiple different colors, but I think the blue is just perfect.

Last but certainly not least is this aromatic Fig and Violet candle by Salt & Stone. Not only does Salt & Stone strive to make products that contain healthy ingredients for your body, they are seriously so heavenly.

Healthy, Heavenly, AND aesthetically pleasing? I'll take it! This scent will transport you right to a countryside field.
