These are all the items I loved this month and will definitely be repurchasing if and when they run out, or items that I have been so happy I've purchased and got a ton of use out of them. There's anything from hair and body care to things your toddler might love.

This will be my second mother's day so I thought it would be fun to put together a list of things I think other mothers might find really useful or nice to have as people who give so much of their time and effort to others. I had a hard time last year thinking of what I wanted for mother's Day. This list includes things that could help her feel pampered or she could find useful in her daily life.

As a coffee snob that makes 95% of my coffee at home using my espresso machine these are all the coffee mugs I have found that bring a smile to my face that I will be purchasing ASAP.

I'm finally to the point of postpartum where I feel like I can start buying clothes again and finding my style again as well. Free people is absolutely my favorite clothing brand so here is what I plan on buying as I'm curating my new wardrobe. I could honestly link everything on their site but these are my favorites.

My hair type falls somewhere between 2B-2C. I used to follow the curly girl method a few years back and it worked well for my hair but I no longer follow it and this is what has been working best for my hair recently. I do slightly follow the Abbey Young method. I like to use mostly drugstore products but I definitely splurge on a few items I use.

These are all my favorite and most used items that I used in March. Some of them I've been using but a lot of them. I just discovered this month and they have been amazing. I have items in here for toddler aged kids, skincare, home decor ECT. So it has a little bit for everyone

I have noticed the most and best changes to my skin since switching over to mostly Korean skincare products, not only that but they are also more affordable than most US skincare products. I have used most of these for so long but love them all. These products have also helped with with breakouts I have had during pregnancy and postpartum due to hormone shifts (You are not supposed to use retinol products during pregnancy so I did stop those for a bit)

These were all my most used items as an exclusively breastfeeding postpartum mom who did not have a c-section and had an uncomplicated delivery. Some of these items will still work for moms who have had a c-section, but it definitely doesn't have everything a c-section mom might need. Some stuff in this list will also work for nonbreastfeeding moms.

I am a CPT and also love working out and staying active in my day to day life so I need my activewear to be worth it and to make me feel cute. Here are the things I will 100% be purchasing once I figure out what my postpartum size will be.

I did my best when setting up baby girls nursery to choose items that will work well as she gets older too and that I will also enjoy since I was in there so much. I truly have enjoyed every detail of this nursery and glad I chose everything I did. *Still working on the list, hopefully it will be done in a couple days. So save for later.

This is a list of all the places I ate at while visiting Costa Rica, I loved every single one of them. We went to Monteverde and Playa del Coco.

These are all the clothes that size my life in pregnancy and postpartum. I have worn all of these to death and they were worth every penny I spent on them.

All different types of technology I'm currently loving as someone who has used various types of android brands and prefers non apple products.

I always wanted to prioritize my kitchen items when it comes down to replacing stuff for non toxic items, I also wanted the items to feel beautiful and colorful. Then I found out I was pregnant and made it a top priority for the health of my little girl. Here are my favorite things I have in my kitchen that are nontoxic; free of PFAs and mostly free of plastic.

These are my most used items in baby girls first year. A couple of them are definitely controversial but each and every one of them made my life easier in one way or another.

Items I want for summer of 2026. Will be my second summer postpartum and I'm hoping to feel more confident in a swimsuit
