Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that the little things I do daily make the biggest difference in how I show up for myself and others. This list is a collection of habits that ground me, boost my energy, and help me feel like the most confident, aligned version of myself. These aren’t “perfect routine” kind of habits—they’re simple, sustainable practices that remind me to slow down, take care of my body, and protect my peace of mind. If you’re looking for ways to feel more balanced, intentional, and at your best, these are the habits that have been true game-changers for me.

Whether I’m running errands or spending a full day out and about, I’ve learned that having the right essentials in my bag completely changes how stress-free my day feels. This list is everything I personally carry to stay prepared, organized, and calm on-the-go. From little comfort items that keep me grounded to practical must-haves that save me in unexpected moments, each piece has earned its permanent spot in my bag. If you’re looking for ways to feel more confident and at ease throughout your day—no matter what pops up—this list is for you.

I’m all about pieces that make getting dressed simple but never boring. These are the staples I reach for constantly—whether it’s a classic tank, an elevated top that instantly makes an outfit feel polished, or a pair of jeans that goes with literally everything. They’re the kind of items that make my wardrobe feel effortless and versatile, while still keeping me comfortable and confident. If you’re looking to build a lineup of go-to pieces you’ll actually want to wear on repeat, these are my absolute favorites.

As a makeup lover, I love trying out new products and not having to break the bank on new things! The products in this list are makeup products I’ve been using for years and will continue to buy over and over again for a simple and natural makeup look!

I’ll be honest—I’m a drugstore girl at heart. Most of my makeup and skincare collection comes from affordable brands because I like sticking to a budget and believe you can get great results without spending a ton. But every once in a while, I come across a Sephora product that actually lives up to the hype and feels worth the splurge. Whether it’s the quality, the results, or how long they last, each of these items has proven to be an investment in my routine. If you’ve ever wondered which Sephora products are truly worth it—and not just influencer buzz—this is the list I wish I had when deciding where to spend a little extra.
