Amazon Favorites of the Week for Women Over 40 (April 27, 2025)

Starting today, I’m excited to introduce a new weekly series: Amazon Favorites — a quick, thoughtful roundup of my top Amazon picks across style, beauty, and home.

Each Saturday, I’ll share a few things I’ve personally used, reordered, or recently added to my cart. These aren’t just viral trends or impulse buys—they’re practical, well-priced pieces that I think are genuinely worth your time.

Like many of you, I have mixed feelings about Amazon. Over the past few months, I’ve actually pulled back on featuring it. But I’ve heard from many readers asking for thoughtful Amazon recommendations—especially because it fills an important budget-friendly gap when shopping for everyday pieces.

So my goal here is simple: to make shopping Amazon (if you want!) easier and more intentional by sorting through the clutter and sharing only the good stuff.

I hope this new series becomes a helpful and fun resource you can look forward to every weekend.

Let’s get into this week’s favorites:

Beauty Favorites

This week was all about rediscovering old favorites—and reordering products that I know work.

First up is the Beekman 1802 Oh! Mega Milk, which I’ve described before as a “drink for your skin”—because it truly is. It’s deeply nourishing, calming, and gives your skin a fresh, healthy glow. A 1 oz jar lasts me about 4–5 weeks, but I use it generously on my face, neck, and chest. It’s that good.

I also went back to an old favorite: Pureology’s Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner. My hair was starting to feel a little cakey—heavy, dull, like the product just wasn’t rinsing clean anymore. While hair doesn’t technically “get used to” products, rotating different formulas can help clear buildup and reset your scalp. This combo did exactly that. The shampoo cleans without stripping, and the conditioner has a minty, effervescent finish that leaves everything feeling clean and light.

Style Finds

Amazon fashion can definitely be hit or miss, but every now and then, there are real gems. This week’s find is an easy, versatile piece that feels like a smart addition for spring and summer—without feeling like a risk.

I ordered these Linen Blend Wide-Leg Pants, and they completely exceeded my expectations. They’re lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, with a relaxed wide-leg fit that’s polished enough for casual outings but comfy enough for lounging or travel. They have a nice drape (not stiff like some linen pants can be) and come with an elastic waistband and pockets. A great basic to have on hand as the weather warms up.

I also ordered this organic cotton tank dress by Fair Indigo, and it’s the kind of effortless piece I know I’ll wear on repeat. It’s made from 100% organic cotton, fits beautifully through the top with a relaxed skirt, and hits right at that perfect midi length. It’s one of those throw-on-and-go dresses that can take you from running errands to casual dinners—and it feels good to support a sustainably focused brand while doing it.

Finally, I couldn’t resist this structured straw crossbody bag. It’s the kind of under-$40 find that looks way more expensive than it is. With a top handle, optional crossbody strap, and structured shape, it’s a perfect finishing touch for your summer outfits.

Home & Lifestyle Picks

Sometimes it’s the little upgrades that make your home feel extra special—especially as the seasons change. This week’s home finds are simple additions that create a cozy, elevated feel without a lot of effort.

I bought my first set of Brightech Ambience Pro Solar Powered Outdoor String Lights over a year ago, and they’ve been fantastic! So much so that I just ordered a second set to extend across our patio. They give off a warm, cozy glow that’s perfect for outdoor dinners, summer parties, or just making your backyard feel a little more magical. Plus, they’re solar-powered, durable, and incredibly easy to install—no plugs or wiring needed.

After spotting a much more expensive hurricane candle holder in one of my home catalogs, I started searching for something similar at HomeGoods and Target but kept coming up short. So I picked up this Glass Hurricane instead, and it’s beautiful. Simple, substantial, and classic, it’s the kind of piece that works anywhere—whether as a centerpiece, on a console table, or outside on a patio for summer evenings. It holds a standard pillar candle and instantly brings that elegant, understated look I love.

Final Thoughts

I’m so excited to kick off this new weekly series, and I hope it becomes something you look forward to each Saturday.

I’ll be keeping these roundups curated, useful, and true to the way I actually live and shop—no gimmicks, no overhyped trends, just thoughtful finds that make life a little easier and a lot more stylish.

If you pick up anything from this week’s edit, I’d love to hear what you think. And if there’s something you’re shopping for this season, let me know! I’m always on the lookout for new, practical ideas to share in future posts.
