A little round-up of the things that made the month feel easier, prettier, cozier, or just more fun. Some were practical upgrades, some were special treats, and a few were happy surprises I didn’t know I needed.

FASHION

A new Varley Set — Elevated loungewear that makes me feel pulled together even when I’m very much… not. I have been loving their jackets and puffers – from early morning workouts, to school dropoffs and errands around town. 

Ann Taylor Coat — Classic, polished, and surprisingly luxe. One of those “why didn’t I get this sooner?” pieces.

Universally Loved Jeans — flattering, comfortable, a great everyday jean.  The one’s I’ve been pulling for the most lately.

Prada Heels — A forever shoe that was an early Christmas present. Elegant but wearable — my holiday outfits are thanking me.

Bliss Triangle Bra — Blown away by how comfortable this bra is! 

Parisa Wang Bag — The sweetest little top-handle that somehow fits the essentials and makes every outfit feel instantly polished.

BEAUTY + WELLNESS

Vintner’s Daughter Face Oil — Basically a facial in a bottle. Spa-at-home vibes every night and now I get the cult following.

Massage Gun – My husband took ours to the office a few months ago so grabbed one for home while they’re on sale.  LOVE for post workouts. 

Merit Beauty — Forever my five-minute face; restocked a few favorites during their sale.

A new winter nail polish — The chicest neutral that give just a hint of sparkle.

Kroma Matcha — My afternoon pick-me-up with clean ingredients and shockingly good flavor.

Magnesium Supplement – I’ve been sleeping like a baby lately and can partially chalk it up to this and this….

Drowsy Sleep Mask — The only mask that fully blocks the world out. Cloud-soft and dreamy.

Protein Powder — I finally understand the hype! It’s that good – Clean, simple, delicious. 

Dumbbells — A tiny home gym upgrade that’s actually making workouts happen.

Filtered Showerhead — This is the third one I’ve bought for our house. Yes, it’s that good.  I have the filters on subscription and swap them out every few months.

Daily Multi-vitamin – 

HOME + LIFESTYLE

Carryon Suitcase — Thoughtful design that makes packing weirdly satisfying.

Winter Sheets — Grabbed these for the kids’ beds — such a cozy upgrade.

Tapo Smart Plugs — My current amazon obsession. All the Christmas lights… on one timer. Holiday magic.

Match Striker — Tiny, charming, and sparks joy (literally).

Board Game — Family game nights have never been louder or funnier.

Liberty of London Christmas Stockings — Whimsical prints that make the mantle so happy.
AirTag — A mom essential for backpacks, suitcases, and everything tiny that goes missing.

Baby Gate — Clean, minimal, and doesn’t make the house feel like a daycare. I’m now the proud owner of four lol
