Over the weekend, I did a Story on Instagram asking what purchases you’ve made under $100 that have positively impacted your life. I can’t take credit for the question - this is something Tim Ferriss asks in his interviews, and I always love hearing the answers, so I was curious what you all would say. I’ll start with a few of mine and then share thirty of yours.
4 Purchases Under $100 That Positively Impacted My Life
Ankle Weights, $20.77 - I bought these to add to my home gym collection. They’re great for side laying hip raises, fire hydrants, donkey kicks, and more.
Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Sea Salt Scrub, $18 for small, $52.98 for large. I have the hardest time getting product off my hair, and this truly does the trick. It’s also excellent for eczema or dry skin on the scalp.
Brow Flick, $33.46 - I have been wanting to try this cult favorite for ages, and it does NOT disappoint. I found that you do need to be really light handed with it, but essentially you just flick the tip of the marker over your brows to fill them in and darken them. It’s buildable, so you can start light or go full out which will look like you got your brows tinted. I find the color to be pretty dark, so if you’re between blonde/brown, I would go with the blonde color.
Paleo Baking Flour, sold out, but I actually love this brand more, and it’s $9.44 - This flour mix is a game changer for anyone avoiding gluten. It’s the perfect blend of almond flour, coconut flour, and a few others that work well for scones, breads and cookies.
