Beach Babe Blog: Things Instagram made me want

Things Instagram made me want

Being home most of the time lately has given me plenty of time to mindlessly scroll through social media — mainly Instagram. 

My saves have been flooded with stuff I "need" and love that I will probably not buy lol. However, I thought I'd take a moment to share those things with you!

I've got a variety of things from beauty to clothes to home that are different, fun and make me smile! I hope they make you smile too and that you'll, maybe even, find something you like!

I will link each item to the original Instagram post as well as where you can buy them. All of the photos are from the IG accounts and are not my own. Also, #notsponsored.


Starting off strong with everyone's favorite intergalactic baby! I love "The Child," or as we affectionately call him, "Baby Yoda." I also love a good beanie. This one is not only cute but a unique color and Love Your Melon has great quality products. Plus the company donates HALF of their proceeds to nonprofits in support of charitable programming and research in the fight against pediatric cancer. PICK IT UP HERE.


This sponsored post got me GOOD. Does anyone really need a boba tea-themed mini fridge? Absolutely not. Is it absolutely adorable and functional? 100%. I saw this and started laughing because I love boba tea and thought this would be the cuteset skincare fridge! If you're into kawaii culture, you'll enjoy the things Smoko has to offer. I've never purchased anything from them so I can't vouch for quality, but boy are they cute. PICK IT UP HERE. 


Watch out! I love this little framed sign that says CAUTION: FALLING COCONUTS! How cute! If you know me, you know I live by a very beach aesthetic so Southern Mesa Trading Co. (based in Florida!) literally calls my name. She makes a bunch of different signs like this as well as some other really cool products like ornaments! They also do custom orders and custom colors. PICK IT UP HERE.


We already know Farmacy Beauty is an amazing skincare brand but this packaging really caught my eye! I love the wood lid and the frosted glass container. It just so happens that the product itself also speaks to me and had me at "ultra-hydrating." The Honey Halo has some great ingredients like buckwheat honey, shea butter and fig fruit extract to help hydrate, lighten fine lines and give you a dewy glow. It also comes with a little spatula to scoop out the product! PICK IT UP HERE.


Literally just anything from this brand, I'll take it! I love the aesthetic and the surfboard tongue design by Lydia Manter, I'm living for it. The sweatshirt (shown on the right) is also the first thing that I saw that turned me on to Her Waves! Again, I haven't purchased anything from them yet, so I can't speak to the brand, but I think they have some really cool things. My one critique is that their sizing is a little funky depending on the style. On some shirts they only have up to a 10-12, which they consider an XL, but then an XL on this sweatshirt is considered a 14-16. So you just have to be careful when choosing your size! The good thing is, if you really love a design or artist, they also carry prints and stickers! CHECK THEM OUT HERE.

I'm not sure how I came across this brand, but their based in my college town, Myrtle Beach! They have some really cool, beachy designs like this one and a bunch of products from mugs to clothes! I love supporting small, local businesses so I'll probably end up snagging this one! PICK IT UP HERE.

Another great mug! This one cracked me up. In case you don't know, "pendejadas" means "bullshit." LOL. Not much else to say about that, it speaks for itself! Also always happy to support a Latinx-owned small business! PICK IT UP HERE.

How cute is this palm tree print! I love the color palette and the sunglasses are adorable! I found this on the artist's Instagram, but you can actually snag this from TARGET! Unfortunately it's sold out already, but you can sign up to be notified if it's restocked! I'd love to have this in my office/studio when I get one! In the mean time, you can grab the print HERE.


If you've seen any of my photos wearing sunnies, they are 99% likely to be Quays. I own a pair of Ray Bans and a few other brands, but I have amassed a pretty big collection of these, including the black pair on the bottom there, BUT that burgundy/purple (it's technically brown) tinted lens with tortoise shell arms...I DIE. I love the High Key style, aka the only aviators that look good on me, and the colors of these are giving me major fall vibes. PICK THEM UP HERE.


I've mentioned REN Clean Skincare many times on my blog and this is a new product I'd like to add to my collection! I have struggled with dark spots for a while, mostly from when I had laser hair removal on my neck (PCOS problems). It's gotten significantly better over the years, but I still have a little discoloration and also when I do get a zit here and there, it often leaves a mark. Also if you have any kind of discoloration like sunspots or melasma, this could be a great fit for you! This is the Overnight Glow dark spot sleeping cream. It's supposed to help even you skin tone all while you sleep! If you have been reading my posts recently, you'll remember how much I love overnight products. I'm sure this one would be no exception. PICK IT UP HERE.


Ya girl has been in desperate need of some fluffy, comfortable slippers ever since my pair got destroyed (RIP.) They look similar to these, but this Mayberry pair from EMU Australia is a little more high end and luxurious. And with being in a pandemic where we're stuck inside in sweats most of the time, a quality pair of slippers could be a great investment! They're made with 100% Australian sheepskin and also have a rubber sole, so they have a little more support. Plus they come in a bunch of different colors! PICK THEM UP HERE. 


Finally, another one that speaks for itself: a palm print pillow with a neon-style "Talk to the palm" written on the front. What's not to love? This is totally my vibe and I'd love to have this in my future office/studio! It's from Skinny Dip London, which is a great brand with other really cool products to grab! PICK IT UP HERE.

Well, I could go on all day about cool stuff I find on the internet, but I'll cap it off here for now! Is there anything on my list that you have to have? What cool things have you found on social media? Let me know in the comments!

XO, Briana
