items this is not a curated list, it's a list of random things that are genuinely improving my life (not to be dramatic). this list includes affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them (at no extra cost to you).
i genuinely cannot say enough good things about this. it is my emotional support travel cup, except i use it everyday at home. my fatal flaw is making a cuppa and forgetting about it until 40mins later, by which time it's cold. this is the remedy. i ...
YETI Rambler® 10 oz (296 ml) Tumbler
again, YETI for the win. i like the 10oz for hot drinks because it keeps things warmer longer, but this 20oz cup is also a fantastic insulator. particularly for iced drinks. this is excellent at keeping things cold. if you still want ice after 6 hour...
YETI Rambler® 20 oz Tumbler
when i invest in a phone, i invest in a good case. every phone i've owned (well, nearly, nothing hurts a brick Nokia) has had an OtterBox case. i've had a number of bad phone drops over the years, and the OtterBox has protected it every time. i will ...
OtterBox Australia, Phone Cases for Apple, Samsung & Google
these have, without a doubt, changed my life. i wear them on the plane, in the car, i wear them at the grocery store, and the shopping centre, i even wear these at the movies. they work to cancel out background noise, and help me focus. i add the mut...
Loop Earplugs | Engage Plus
another earplug option if you want earplugs just for travel and for sleep. these are them. they're ultimate comfort, and cancel out so much noise. would recommend! (affiliate link)
Loop Earplugs | Quiet 2
i cannot describe how much i love these, probably one of my best purchases to date. they are comfortable, have excellent sound, have noise cancelling and ambient noise. i practically live in these. they charge quickly and then last almost a week with...
Edifier WH700NB Wireless Headphones
i get up at 5am every weekday morning and the alarm trauma was too much for me. this is the answer. THE answer. the vibrate alarm function on this is the best—the ONLY—way to wake up. it's absolutely worth the price. oh, and it tracks like your steps...
Fitbit Flex 2
when my watch broke i was lost in a sea of timelessness… no but really, i struggled a lot. and then my father gave me his old Fitbit Versa and i haven't taken it off since. i used to use my Fitbit Flex, but the Versa doubles as a watch AND (most impo...
Fitbit Versa 4 Smart Watch
this is going to be one of the most random additions i ever make to one of my lists but when my sanity is holding on by a thread, it's because of the design of this olive oil bottle. i am sick and tired of olive oil running down the bottle, getting o...
Classic Estate Olive Oil
i've had the same pair of these slides for 3 years now, and i spend more time in this shoe than any other. instead of slippers, i wear these inside. these are also my gardening shoes, my taking-the-bin-out shoes, my hanging-the-laundry-out shoes. my ...
Wave Zone Women's Moulded Slides
this is the brown version. i've had the same pair of these slides for 3 years now, and i spend more time in this shoe than any other. instead of slippers, i wear these inside. these are also my gardening shoes, my taking-the-bin-out shoes, my hanging...
Wave Zone Women's Moulded Slides
this unassuming bamboo plate holder is the unsung hero of my kitchen — quietly keeping my saucepan lids organised, and my life from falling apart. i cannot stress enough how much this has improved my daily mood while cooking. now i need another one f...
OSTBIT Plate Holder
a fabulous invention that protects delicates and reduces pilling. when i don't trust my washing machine's ‘hand wash’ setting or just want extra protection for more delicate items, every garment gets its own bag. i use these in pretty much every wash...
7-Piece Mesh Laundry Bags Set
a fabulous invention that protects delicates and reduces pilling. when i don't trust my washing machine's ‘hand wash’ setting or just want extra protection for more delicate items, every garment gets its own bag. i use these in pretty much every wash...
Clevinger 5 Piece Laundry Mesh Wash Bag Set
i'm not ashamed to admit that i am the kind of person who can ONLY be comfy if i have a blankie. vintage Onkaparinga blankets are my go to. warm, 100% wool but not scratchy, these blankets are durable and so cozy, i have to fight my pets for them. an...
Vintage Onkaparinga Wool Blanket
a problem, an addiction. these are a throwback to summer days at the town pool and wetly slapping over to the hot concrete to the canteen. (affiliate link)
Sweetworld Sherbert Lollipops
what can i say, i have a sweet tooth, and these are the most delicious little morsels. a comfort lolly, if you will. and yes, i have been hoarding these in case they are discontinued because that would be simply unacceptable. (affiliate link)
Wonka Everlasting Gobstoppers
my partner wanted a weighted blanket and this is the one i chose. and i did an UNGODLY amount of research. i mean hours. i considered all options, i looked at the fibre contents, the prices, the shipping costs, the weights available, the types of blanket, and of course, the hundreds of reviews. i am confident that this is one of the best, most affordable,...
Giselle Weighted Blanket
i have to be honest, i was given this vacuum, i did not purchase it because who would spend $800 on a vacuum… right? wrong, the answer is me: i would. this vacuum changed my life, and that's coming from a ride-or-die shop vac girlie. previous cordles...
Dyson V8 Vacuum 394437-01
my grandma gave me this and i giggled because it's very like her to save every skerrick. but honestly the extr amount i can squeeze out of a toothpaste tube, or sunscreen, is incredible. i've used this consistently for years now, and i can't imagine ...
