This is my happy place—the room where the chaos stops and the cozy begins. These are the little things that help me unwind, stay organized (kinda), and feel like I'm living in a Pinterest board… but with snacks. 😴✨ From cooling pillows to sneaky-good storage bins and my favorite book light for late-night scrolling (ahem, reading)—if it makes bedtime better, it's in here.

I’m a prepper at heart and I love being ready for anything — power outages, storms, or just everyday hiccups. This list is full of the gear I trust: easy, practical, and no-drama essentials that help me feel calm, capable, and covered when life gets unpredictable.

These are my favorite places to visit, eat at, and explore in Maine — mostly Southern Maine because that’s where the magic (and the lobster rolls) live. From cozy coastal views to can't-miss donut shops, lighthouses, and local gems, this is my personal list of must-stops when you’re in Vacationland.

This list is personal. It’s everything I’ve learned (and am still learning) on my own GLP-1 journey — the wins, the challenges, the things no one tells you, and the tools that have helped me along the way. If you’re just starting or just curious, I hope what’s helped me might help you too. You’re not alone in this.

This is how I turned a small space into a home office that actually feels like home too. Cozy, functional, and filled with things that help me stay focused without losing that comfy vibe. It’s all about making the most of what you’ve got — and loving the space you work in.

These are the chargers I keep on hand, in my bag, and probably tucked into every room. Fast, reliable, and perfect for phones, tablets, and all the things I forget to charge — they’ve saved me from low-battery panic more times than I can count. If you’re tired of slow chargers or ones that quit halfway through, these are the real MVPs.

My cat runs the house, I just live in it. 😹 This list is full of all the things my furry bosses actually love: toys that don’t get ignored, treats that earn instant zoomies, and cozy must-haves for peak cat luxury. Whether you’re a new cat parent or just want to spoil your whiskered sidekick, these are the tried-and-true favorites that get two paws up in this house.

Let’s be real — I started this content journey with nothing but my phone and a whole lot of “what am I doing?!” 😅 This list is full of the accessories that helped me go from newbie to “okay, this actually looks legit!” These tools make filming easier and the whole process way less overwhelming. If you're just starting out or want to level up — these are my go-to favorites.

I’m not a professional chef, but with these kitchen must haves, I feel like one. These are the tried-and-true tools that make cooking faster, easier, and honestly way more fun. These Game-changers earn their counter space. Whether you’re meal prepping, baking, or just trying to make it through the week without takeout, these are my must-haves!

These are the cups, bottles, and little extras that keep me sipping all day — from morning coffee to bedtime water. Stylish, functional, and perfect for staying hydrated (without sacrificing cute). If it helps me drink more and feel good doing it, it’s in here!

Let’s be honest — finding clothes online that actually fit and feel good can be a whole journey. These are my go-to stores that get it right: flattering fits, cute styles, and sizing that doesn’t stop at “large.” Whether I want cozy, classy, casual, or a little confidence boost — these shops have become my favorites for a reason. If you’re curvy, plus size, or just tired of weird sizing, this list is for you!

Whether I’m running errands, heading to work or rolling through TSA, these are the work bags and travel must-haves I swear by. Stylish? Check. Functional? Double check. These pieces make packing, organizing, and staying on-the-go feel way less chaotic (and a lot more put together).

From life-changing lobster rolls to cozy diners and bold fusion bites, this list is my love letter to Portland’s tastiest spots. And yes—the donuts here are on a whole other level.

These are the beauty and health products I keep reaching for — the ones that make me feel like I’ve got it together even when I don’t. From glow-boosters to feel-good vitamins, this list is part self-care, part “where has this been all my life?” Nothing fussy or over-the-top — just simple, effective products that make a real difference in how I look and feel.
