Beauty & Skincare restocks, the things I rebuy on repeat
Buying: The best shampoo and conditioner I've found for fine hair. My tween loves it too!
Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner For Fine Hair
Buying: I'm staying injection free as long as possible and Frownies is helping me!
Facial Wrinkle Patches | Forehead Care
Buying: I'm almost out of my first tube of this and have noticed my lashes don't fall out as much as they used to. I use it on my brows as well because they are super thin.
Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum
I keep one in my purse and one at home. The only comb I use on wet and dry hair. These look luxurious, but the price is very affordable.
Tortoise Shell Wide Tooth Hair Comb
I LOVE this pillow case. I've had it a few months and almost didn't purchase thinking the price was too low for a good product. I'm so glad I saved and bought this one instead of the more expensive ones. My hair isn't as tangled and frizzy when I wake up now.
ZIMASILK: SILK PILLOWCASES
Marketed for men, but I use this for nose hairs and eyebrow trims on myself.
Wahl Micro Groomsman Battery Personal Trimmer ...
EYEING: my beloved T3 dryer just dies last night after almost a decade of regular use. This was the best hairdryer I ever had for my super fine hair and it’s the top of my list now to replace.
Best Hair Dryers & Blow Dryers | Fast Drying & Lightweight
I bought these for my tween, but I ended up using them too! They are gentle on sensitive skin and don't cause the irritation and rashes other brands do.

The only mouthwash I've used for years and even my dentist is impressed how white my teeth stay despite daily coffee and tea.
Lumineux Teeth Whitening Mouthwash, Peroxide Free
I LOVE these slippers and wear year round. I'm actually wearing them right now as I curate this list for you. I throw them in the wash when they need it and they clean up beautifully.
Cozyfurry Womens Cross Band Furry Slippers
Dance mom competition prep, our tried and true essentials
These are the BEST and easiest lashes for my dancer. Several other teammates have switched to these because all you have to do is cut to size and stick them on. Easy and fast. They don't irritate my girl's sensitive eyes like other glues do. HIGHLY recommend!
Eylure Press On Pre-Glued Volume Lashes
Our favorite hair gel that lasts, but combs out for hairstyle switches and easily washes out later. A staple for competition and performance hairstyles.
TRESemm Hair Gel in Hair Styling Products
These stay on through all day conventions and competitions. My tween got used to these before an actual bra!
QUXIANG 4 Pairs Reusable Women Nipple Covers
We order tights for recital and competition through our studio, but these are the ones my tween wears for Nutcracker ballet rehearsals and performances.
Bloch : Tights
Another competition and performance staple! This gets those pesky fly aways and baby hairs to keep the slick back through long days of dance.
TIGI Bed Head Hair Wax Stick
I can speak first hand to these! These are the shoes I purchased for myself and I LOVE them. They are so comfortable and I can get through a class without foot pain! (I have a former foot injury)
Ladies Super Jazz Slip On Jazz Shoes, Tan
These are the tap shoes I have for myself and I LOVE them! I got used to the split sole during the first class. I no longer get foot pain after class.
Leather Flex Mastr Tap Shoe Keeps You on Your Toes
Our first performance bag was the lavender color. Several of our competition teammates still have this bag in other colors (5 years later). We sold it to upgrade to a larger bag, but do recommend any of the bags from this brand…we still own a different style from them.
Mavii Wheeled Dance Bag with Garment Rack 28"
This is the Maavi bag we still own. It's perfect when we only need 4-6 costumes. My daughter has used it for 2 years for summer camp and we've also taken it on vacation.
Mavii Dance Bag with 22 Inch Hardcase Rack
I purchased this set in 2024 and my girl is still using them. I bought them in the size 8-12 and they truly have fit her in those sizes.
iMucci Professional Girl Ballet Nude Dance Briefs
Most of our teammates have prefer caboodles over makeup bags. We have the pink sparkle and it has been fantastic to keep her hair and makeup products organized. We keep safety pins and other necessities in it as well.
Pink Caboodle
The caboodle and Stanley are decorated with this exact sticker pack. They've lasted through multiple washes for a couple of years and our pack randomly had an Elizabeth sticker (shown upside down in image 2), which just happens to be my daughter's name. :)
64pcs Dance Stickers, Dancer Decals for Cars
We've had this almost 6 years and I've probably used it more than my daughter for my at home barre workouts. It's very easy to assemble and take apart for easy storage.
Yes4All 4 ft Double Aluminum Freestanding Ballet Barre
Cozy home, soft living staples
Our washer and dryer are in our bathroom and I have a white unit over each. Linens and towels are over our dryer and our bathroom storage and laundry supplies are over the washer. Highly recommend for small spaces!
Ulif U8 Medium Laundry Room Storage ...
You might have seen a trend in my descriptions…we have VERY sensitive skin and this is the only laundry detergent I use! My preference is the lavender, but they have unscented and other scents as well.
Natural Laundry Detergent for Eco-Friendly Homes
I recently put the pink ones in my kitchen window and I love how cozy they make the room feel. They have a linen look and feel.
NICETOWN Pinch Pleated Linen Kitchen ...
I LOVE this pet couch cover. It's soft, easy to wash, and the white color blends in perfectly with my white colored sofa. It holds up well after frequent washes too.
Pet Couch Cover Protector for Dogs Sofa
We needed a short sofa for our small living room and this one was easy to put together myself. Ours is white and I pair it with the white pet couch cover I shared. It's easy to clean and the pillows have removable inserts. Note: You do have to “fluff” your seat cushions regularly or they get flat. We've had ours over a year now.
WJShome 83" Cloud Couch Sectional Sofa
We live in two-story townhouse and this was the first purchase I made before moving in. It's not pretty, soft or comfortable, BUT it gives me calm peace of mind to know my daughter is safe in case of emergency.
First Alert 14ft Steel Two-Story Fire Ladder
This is the mattress on my daughter's bed. She sleeps comfortably and peacefully.
Zinus Memory Foam 8 Inch Green Tea Mattress
The boxspring on my daughter's bed. Easy to put together by myself.

My daughter's bedskirt. Classic and goes with any bedroom theme since she has it in white.

We needed a longer shower curtain and this one has been perfect. Ours is white and has a linen look. It's marketed as farmhouse, but our home is soft, feminine with lots of white and hints of blush pink. This shower curtain fits our aesthetic perfectly!
Felisa Farmhouse Long Shower Curtain with Ruffle Hem
It looks like my exact walking pad is no longer available. I use it daily and most days, multiple times per day. Highly recommend one, especially with shorter and colder days coming.
White Walking Pad With Incline
I've had this diffuser for almost 2 years and use it regularly. We live in a small townhome and I only need one to fill the entire downstairs with fragrance.

A must when you have kids/tweens. It almost matches our almond leather perfectly and we've had for several years.
Viaviat Waterproof Car Seat Organizer & Protector
I've had this for many years now and it lives under my bed. It organizes most of our giftwrap for the entire year. The only thing I store separately is gift tags/toppers and Christmas bows.
Simple Houseware 41.5" Wrapping Paper Organizer
Not very cozy, but definitely a staple. I've used this by myself multiple times. The only complaint is you have to remember to recharge it. It's super easy to use and small enough to fit in your glove box.
NOCO Boost GBX45 1250A UltraSafe Jump Starter
Mine is white and has a solid top, not clear. I've had it for over 5.5 years now.
Somduy 3-Layer Jewelry Box Organizer for Women
Everyday carry, what's actually in my work bag
I organize my therapy materials in these bags. They hold regular sized paper and construction paper. I use them to hold monthly activity pages, play dough with mats and supplies, etc. The options are endless. Mine are labeled with regular printer labels I stuck to them.

I’ve had this bag as my daily work bag for a year and still get compliments on it. It’s so cute and lightweight to carry the essentials.

SKYDUE 3 Ring Binder Clipboard 13.2x10.2
The cute workhorse. Holds everything I need for a day of multiple therapy sessions. I was just asked by a teacher this week where it’s from because it’s perfect for teachers too. Really anyone who needs to tote a lot from one location to another.
LUXJA Rolling Teacher Bag w/ Wheels, 15.6" Laptop, Pink
Little Girl Things
We've gotten so many compliments on this pink bike. It would make the perfect Christmas or birthday gift. I'm sad my daughter has finally outgrown hers. She's had it for several years.

We've had the Stanley accessories for at least 3 years now and still use them regularly.

My girl wore these until they got so short they were almost to her knees 😅 She absolutely adored these pajamas.

These were a big hit for my daughter and her friends! I gave them as party favors one year.
