My Favorite Things 2023

Inspiration· Research

18 Dec

Happy holidays, friends!  Today I am sharing a few of my favorite purchases of 2023.  This is not a gift guide – hopefully you’re all set with your lists (only 6 shopping days till Christmas!)  If you need a little pick-me-up post-holidays or you’re looking to get a jump on some organization projects, hopefully some of these products will serve you as they have me this year.

Product links are below the photos

Drapery Rod Tape:  It may seem crazy that literally my favorite purchase in 2023 was this drapery rod tape, but it’s true.  This is a life-changing product.  It’s super-easy to apply (you don’t even have to take existing rings and drapes off the rod!) and then drapes just glide along the rod.  It’s magic.

Sunday Riley Luna night oil:  You know I don’t talk much about personal care.  Beauty products are not my forte and what works for me may not work for you.  That said, I love this night oil.  It sinks into skin so easily and my skin looks great in the morning after I use it.

Lululemon Jacket:  I received this jacket as a gift last Christmas.  As soon as the temperatures warmed enough for a light jacket, I found myself wearing this every day.  It’s polished enough to be more than an athletic jacket and I wear it everywhere a casual jacket is appropriate.  I have the sheer blue color which is pretty and goes with everything.  While I usually size up in Lululemon tops, my usual size is perfect for layering over pretty much anything.

Label Maker:  Not every person would consider label-making fun, but I do.  If you’re also one of those people, you will love this little cutie.  Just charge it up and connect via the app.  You can then print labels for everything in your home right from your phone!

Cask Scent:  You all know how much I love my Pura devices.  This scent is my favorite Pura discovery this year.  Not necessarily one I would run in the summertime, but it is a great Fall and Winter scent.  It is sophisticated and warm (much like myself  😉), but not overpowering.

Jewelry Box:  I bought this in connection with our primary bedroom glow-up over the summer, and I love the stackable, customizable jewelry storage.  It looks really nice on top of a dresser!

Robe:  To me, there is nothing better than changing into PJs and a robe and then relaxing in the evening before bed.  This is the comfiest and coziest for chilly nights.

Supershine Moisturizing Crème:  Again, I am usually not one to talk about beauty, but this product really worked for me in 2023.  I have thick and wavy hair, and when it needs some extra moisture and shine, this crème does the trick!

For those who celebrate, I hope you have a magical Christmas! I will be back next week with a 2023 recap (you’ll find out how we did with our home goals for the year) and an announcement for 2024!
