Happy Monday, friends, and cheers to a new week!! A new month, as well! Can you even believe it’s already August?! Summer Break is winding down, and I’m not too happy about it. I know I’ll be ready to get back in a more predicable routine soon, but for now, I’m savoring the final days of a slower pace.
Little Miss is actually moving to a new school this year, and while we’re all excited for a fresh start, my mama heart is a little anxious for her. Volleyball tryouts are all this week, so I’m praying those go well…I know it would mean a lot for her to start the year with new teammates and familiar faces.
I can’t thank you enough for continuing to pray for her, and her healing heart this year. This community is such a blessing to us, and I’m grateful for each of you.
Let’s get to today’s post… in 2020, I started sharing fun and random things I’d found and ordered on my Instagram Stories … and y’all loved it! So a weekly Monday Mail Day series was born, which is essentially like my own little Sugarplum QVC show, ha!
Most every week I share a hodgepodge of gadgets and treats that make life easier and more fun… some of which have become Sugarplum Faves, and part of my every day. Here’s a peek of my most popular Monday Mail Days of recent months, along with my favorite discoveries from each. (You can find the latest batch of quirky faves HERE and every week featured HERE.)
There’s literally no way to choose a fave from this batch…I’m truly obsessed with each! The fans are a whiz at keeping flies at bay, the Method hand soap is an exact ringer for my beloved Le Labo scent, and the mask duo is a saving grace for my Summer skin! Not to mention, the packable duffle is genius for travel!
Band Slide Sandals | Woven Belt | Packable Duffle Bag | Method Hand Soap | Portable Fly Fan | CR Dual Enzyme Polish | CR Detox Mask (code SUGARPLUM20 to save 20% on both)
This hair towel has been a Sugarplum Favorite Thing for years, but sadly has been sold out for ages. Well, it’s finally back in stock, and I swear by it for gently removing all the excess moisture from my hair. Also, if you love the look of lash extensions, you’ll want to check out tarte’s new tube mascara!

Another Sugarplum Favorite Thing, this shower cap is a game-changer for extending the life of my hair. Not a drop of moisture gets through in the shower!
Weekender Bag | drybar Shower Cap | Bandeau Set | MiracleOil Lotion | Necklace Connectors
Headed to concerts and sporting events this Fall? This clear bag is a must…and of course I had to jazz it up with a designer-looking strap. These stick-on bras and nippies are my go-tos for strapless, backless and one-shoulder styles. Oh, and such a random find…but these Damp Rid bags are incredible for getting the damp, musty smell out of small spaces like teen’s bathrooms, closets, and more.

Are you a fan of the e-cloths for spotless windows, too? Then you’ll LOVE the full set of household cloths…they magically clean everything with just water!
Wooden Bluetooth Speaker | eCloth Starter Pack | Magnetic Necklace Layering Connector | Card Phone Case | Victoria Emerson x Hi Sugarplum Party Box
We learned the hard way in last year’s big freeze that back-up chargers are a must! This one is jumbo-sized for charging a range of devices, and up to 8 phones! This lint canister is perfect for laundry rooms…it attaches to the dryer with a strong magnet!
Lint Container | Acne Patches | External Battery Charger | Similar Gold Necklace | Nesting Bowl Set
Summer do a number on your feet? Get them looking like a baby’s butt with this miracle mask. This polish is the only color I wear from April to September.

The chicest playing cards around, plus a gorgeous look-for-less rattan vase. And one of my all-time favorite beauty finds…these hair ties are incredible for holding a ponytail without damaging hair.

Talk about look for less, this throw is a dead-ringer for Barefoot Dreams, but a fraction of the price! It makes a great gift, too. I’ve also got these refillable bottles in most our showers, and love how they keep everything looking neat and tidy.

We have these towels in every bathroom…they aren’t overly plush, so they dry quickly and launder beautifully. As for the aviators, I actually prefer them over my Ray-Bans! The fit is so good, and of course you can’t beat the price.
Le Labo-esque Perfume | Woven Headband | Faux Tulips | Aviators | Bath Towels

One of my most-requested links…these custom cups and koozies! The stems are also incredible bang for your buck!

The chicest salt and pepper grinders, and by far my favorite refillable toiletry bottles for travel. They have a wide mouth for easy filling, and the silicone means I can squeeze every last drop out!

Did you know your toothbrush is one of the germiest things in your bathroom?! Ewwww! I’m obsessed with the Tao Clean sonic toothbrush…it disinfects 99.9% of all germs and bacteria after each brushing!! This little scale is a traveler’s must-have, too.

A grandparent’s favorite gift, the digital frame is the gift that just keeps giving! And I don’t know a teen who doesn’t have (and love) these LED lights for their room.

Talk about bang for your buck, the $5 Amazon mascaras are some of the best on the market!

I didn’t realize how many of my day-to-day finds were Monday Mail Day discoveries… in fact, it’s likely many will make my Sugarplum Favorite Things for the year! (See last year’s list HERE.)
So tell me… have any of my Monday Mail Day finds become favorites of yours, too? Do you have any random things bringing you joy I should try out next? Be sure to watch my Instagram Stories every Monday for a new installment of Monday Mail Day, and see all my finds HERE. Happy Monday, lovebugs!
I see a few things I better try before they sell out. LUV the pet fur roller-thee best.
Little Miss will be fine and happy. Trust.
Thnx. Ms. Cassie!
Did you bring back that cool pack-able duffle bag, full of all things Maui?? Oh, the coffee…….
Oh, forgot. Best Amazon find as of late, the book “Salad Freak” by Jess Damuck.
You’re welcome!
Thanks, sandy! Checking that out now! xo. C
It’s just crazy how many of your Monday Mail Day items I have purchased. Thank you.
I hope they’ve been helpful finds! I was surprised by how many are household essentials for us now!
Can you share more about the nail wraps…..that you shared on Monday Mail Day? Easy to apply? How long can you wear the wraps….thanks for any input or tips you are willing to share.
Hi Debbie! Those wraps are a game-changer for a long-lasting manicure! Apply to clean nails like you would a sticker, trim off the excess, then use the included nail file in a downward motion to remove the rest of the gel so it’s even with the tip of your natural nail. For me, they stay put until I take them off…literally growing with my nail. So you can leave them until the gap at your cuticle bothers you (a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly your nails grow). xo. C
Hi Cassie! I was wondering if the saddle bag is heavy. I know it’s on the smaller side but sometimes they can still be a little heavy. I was also wondering if you have found a necklace that’s in the same gold beads as the bracelets you wear. If not would you mind keeping an eye out for one? You’re so good in finding all the great things! Thank you and good luck to little Miss. Praying for her and that she has a good school year!
~Michele
Thank you so much for the kind words and prayers, Michele! I don’t find the saddle bag to be heavy at all! And I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a necklace like that…sounds darling! xo. C
I’ve purchased the neck massager (and helps the back of leg cramps) twice now from you sharing it. It’s a winner at my house!! Have a great week!
I’m so thrilled you love it, too!! xo. C
