Buying With Intention in 2026

items I started off my year wishing to challenge myself in buying ONLY what I need. I have enough! For the first time in my life, my home has an entire room specifically for items we have no place for. A junk room. This list is comprised of what I’ve purch...

Once upon a time, I ordered from Gap on a monthly basis… often times more than once a month. I owned at least 15 pairs of jeans from Gap. I got rid of most of them a year or so ago, having grown out of most of them. I have had my eyes on this pair of...
High Rise Stride Wide-Leg Ankle Jeans
I've been desiring cute, versatile work shoes since I started my new job in March 2025. As a birthday present to myself, I acquired these. They are beautiful shoes for under $100. Unfortunately, my particular gait was unsuitable for these loafers. Ho...

I've been part of the Karmi program (clean the studio once a week in exchange for unlimited free classes) at my local yoga studio for a year now, and desperately needed a yoga clothing upgrade. Love this brand.

We have long-ish hallways in our home and we've turned on of the hall closets into a “cat bathroom”. It has resulted in lots of litter tracking throughout the house, as hallways are made for walking. I've had my eye on a runner rug and wanted a washable one. We placed it right outside of the cat bathroom, and it's significantly reduced tracking throughout the rest of the house. It a...
Washable Non Slip Boho Runner Rug
This has helped my partner and I stay more organized and less forgetful. It's huge and we hung it in our kitchen.

In my effort to be sustainable. We're still buying regular hand soap unfortunately, as we haven't been able to justify the cost yet this year. Why must it cost so much to be good to the Earth?

I recently bought my second cat hammock. My girls love them.

One of my girls has stopped grooming herself recently and this helps her (and us!) so much.

It's true that these help with the smell!
Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box
Yes, it was worth it!! Just don't let it get too full before emptying the bag. Nothing worse then a heavy bag of poop that loses slack and falls inside.

I keep these on my desk and it really does feel great to stick my hand in the container and pull out a bunch. My coworkers also love them!

I keep these in my car and bring them into places with me. They fit perfectly in my hand for discreet fidgeting.

I started checking out books from the library instead of my kindle and needed a reading light. It's VERY bright, and I personally don't recommend it for nighttime reading. Excellent as a portable light of a large area, but would prefer something a bi...

If you aren't a female millennial reading Lena Dunham and feeling seen then what are you actually doing?

Why, yes, I did indeed love every second of the Wuthering Heights movie that released this year. I realized it was a classic I hadn't read yet. It was okay!

I washed my AirPods, case and all, in the beginning of 2025. I had a pair of Bluetooth skull candy buds to tide me over. When the sound went out on one of them, I made the decision to add this to my list in 2026. The day I received a quarterly bonus,...

We learn from it and move on.
My intentions weren't necessarily BAD, but they weren't thought all the way through. My kitties are getting older and I want some light for them in the hallway at night, especially where the litter box is. I didn't realize how bright these would be, ...
