We all have our favorite products or items that we can't seem to live without, those products that no matter what we try - we keep coming back to.
I'm rounding out a few things that I use on the daily and don't see myself stopping any time soon.
one | Converse Shoreline Sneakers - I wear these sneakers constantly! They are so versatile - they go awesome with jeans, skirts, sundresses - you name it, and are easy to slip on when I'm in a rush to get out of the door. I will always own a pair of these shoes!
two | Concealer - I'm a mom, enough said ;) but in all seriousness, it is very rare that I leave the house without concealer on. I've always had dark circles around my eyes and motherhood has amplified them. I've tried many different brands, and was even on a Maybelline kick for a while, but I came back to my tried and true friend, MAC Studio Finish. It provides me with the best coverage using not as much product. It's a little thick, but when applied right after your moisturizer it goes on smoothly.
six | Another thing I can't live without is my homemade "febreeze spray". I make a batch weekly and spray my furniture and rugs daily since we have a dog, I try to eliminate any odors I can! It's so easy to make, all you need is some rubbing alcohol, an essential oil of your choice and water!

three | Bath and Body Works Candles - These are hands down the best candles for their price, they smell delicious and one candle makes my whole house smell good! You can't say that about many candles. I love many of their scents, but my signature scent, and the one you'll see lit the majority of the time here is the Eucalyptus Mint candle. It's not too over-powering and it's a very clean smell, which I love!
four | Mascara - One of the other few things you'll rarely see me leave the house with. Even on days where putting makeup on isn't much of an option. I have been LOVING the Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara. I'll talk more about it in another post, but in the meantime, if you're on the lookout for a good mascara, pick this one up!
five | Fresh flowers - If you have been around Kids and Cabernet for a while now, you know how much I love having fresh flowers at home, and more often than not you'll see them around my house. I know some people think they are a waste of money, but I buy inexpensive ones at the grocery store and I think having them at home makes your house more homey, inviting and adds a touch of glam - all wins in my book!

And of course there are the obvious things like: husband, kids, WINE, and my phone - but you already know all of that ;)
What are somethings you use on the daily that you cant live without?
Mascara and flowers, can't live without em!
I love my converse! I will have to try the DIY odor eliminating spray. I am all about essential oils lately!
I never leave the house without mascara on and if I do my secret stash in my bag gets put on in the car. I am right there with you on that!
i really should buy fresh flowers more often! they are so pretty. xo jillian - cornflake dreams
I wish I could have fresh flowers in the house every single week - I love that it's a must for you!!! Coffee is a must for me lol! xo, biana -BlovedBoston
I agree with you on some many of these, especially concealer and mascara! Bath and Body works candles are my favorite too. I need to try your homemade febreeze, such a great idea!
I love those shoes too-- sadly they're put away for the winter here, but I can't wait to bring them out again once the snow and cold is gone for good. BBW candles really are such a good deal, and you're right, the scent throw is almost always amazing. I have a few new ones on the way now!
I just purchased my first pair of converse last week and am loving them!! I had the Target brand before, I called them non-verse, but the converse are so much more comfortable! I also agree on fresh flowers! My kids love helping me pick them out each week at Trader Joe's! I hope that's a memory my kids always have of home. Have a great week!
Yes to Converse, concealer and mascara! Definitely three things I can't live without either! And I do love me some candles! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
OK I've totally left the house without makeup on haha. But only when I'm going to the gym or if I'm just running errands in my neighborhood. I love my Converse sneakers though and having fresh flowers.You know Trader Joe's has amazing flowers and they're cheap!! I will also have to check out that concealer sometime. :-)
I have been meaning to buy those Converse! My bestie has them and I am always admiring them. I used to have fresh flowers in my house but I worry that my cats will eat them and be poisoned now. I know some flowers are dangerous for animals and I dont want to learn which ones the hard way. I miss buying them though. They do make a house feel homey and glam at the same time!
Converse and Maskara. Yes, girl!
Mascara is the biggest MUST for me - I will never leave the house without it! Fresh flowers are always the best pick me up, too :)
So many fabulous can't-live-without products! I'm going to totally cosign MAC's Studio collection, B&BW candles, fresh flowers, and of course wine <3

I love Bath and body works candles, but I've never tried that scent before! I'm definitely going to have to check that out because it sounds right up my alley!
The 3-wick candles are always on my list. I love your sweater too !
how cool is your homemade febreze?! love it.
i have really bad dark circles as well.. can't wait for motherhood, yay. i love maybelline for every day but i need something stronger when i actually want to completely cover them up, and i have used a couple of mac concealers before and they are the bomb. i will have to check that one out!
i love everything eucalyptus, how have i not seen that candle at b&bw?!
Those sneaks really are the best! So it that concealer, I have been using it for a couple of months and it is pretty legit!
Love converse - can't wait until it warms up a little bit here so I can wear them! And fresh flowers and candles - yes!!
My converse are a definitely favorite, too. I would say for me, mascara is definitely a must and chapstick!!! I always have chapstick with me.
I could go without mascara, but eyeliner is an essential for me! Love your homemade febreeze spray idea!
