These are the beauty products I keep coming back to—like, I’ve bought them multiple times without even thinking about it. They just work. Some I’ve used for years, some are newer but already in the “can’t live without” category. If I’m running low, I’m restocking. No hesitation.

I read 40 books in 2024 and decided to raise the bar—so here we are with a 50-book goal for 2025. This list is part tracker, part personal review journal. I read mostly romance, fantasy, thrillers, and throw in the occasional memoir or self-help book when the mood strikes. Some books are part of book clubs :) Updating as I go, with honest thoughts only.

A lil list of my faves for getting ready/ applying makeup for a night out. Minus the getting ready part, I’ve got my makeup routine down to a science of being able to apply it in the car (passenger-side of course).

From someone who worked for a cooking/food company and built up a collection of some really good kitchen tools/ flatware/etc! I believe in buying quality pieces once vs. spending more over time.

Little things that make my daily life better everyday. Includes items I now feel like I can't live without!

Estes Park is so so magical to stay in and you're just minutes away from RMNP. I've gone here every year for the past few years and here are some of my recs!

I was stuck in a cycle of only reading business & self-improvement books and realized I wasn't reading anything…fun. Here are the books that brought some joy into reading for me. Now fun books take up about 70% of what I read in a year.

Items I've personally used with my own pups: Waffle (4) and Jelly (1.5).
