May Five And Five: Pre-Summer Favorites
The Monthly Five And Five
May’s Most Loved
Every month, a few items clearly rise to the top, and May definitely had some standouts. From easy summer fashion finds to beauty products and practical home items, these are the 5 things you all loved most this month, along with 5 things I personally keep reaching for lately.
Some are everyday essentials, some are just fun little upgrades, but all of them have genuinely earned their spot in regular rotation around here.

The Five You LOVED Most
(your most-clicked, most-saved, most-DM’d-about favorites)
Soft, breathable, and one of those pieces you’ll want to live in through warm summer nights. I’m wearing 3-XL (sized up for postpartum).

An easy throw-on-and-go basic that you will reach for all season long. The capped sleeves and classic stripe give it that effortless “looks expensive” feel. I’m wearing size XXL. I found a similar style in sizes XS-3XL.
UNDER $14 DRESS
This dress is such a fun look-for-less find. It gives the same elevated feel as this dress, at a fraction of the price, and honestly… It’s hard to tell which is which (see my side-by-side comparison here). I’m wearing size XXL.
These faux hydrangeas instantly make a space feel brighter and more pulled together for spring and summer. They look surprisingly realistic and are such an easy way to add color without the upkeep.
One of those practical basics that really makes a difference under dresses and lightweight summer fabrics. Smooths comfortably without feeling restrictive. I’m wearing the XL/XXL.
They come in a mid-rise style as well, perfect for everyday pants and shorts.
THE FIVE I’m Loving
(aka: what’s getting worn, used, and reached for on repeat)
I've been reaching for this razor and hydrating spray over and over. Closest shave ever! Use code CARALYNM25 for 25% off.

This relief cream has kept my skin glowing.
This sunscreen completely lives up to the name. It’s lightweight, glowy, no white cast, and layers beautifully under makeup.
An easy one-and-done outfit that feels comfortable enough for home but polished enough for errands, travel, or dinner out. I’m wearing size XL.
These have been such a lifesaver lately if you want supportive sandals that still look cute with everyday outfits. The arch support is incredible,
More relief sandals (aka slutty orthopedic) I have tried and love here.
One of my favorite easy ways to add extra protein into busy days right now. It blends well, tastes great, and has been especially helpful on mornings when I need something quick and filling.
Use CARALYN for 20% off first-time orders.
