My YouTube channel is officially live and the first video is up! I share a bunch of my current favorites I think you’ll love just as much as I do!
Click here to watch the full video or scroll down to read everything I shared.
The Boppy
My first favorite mentioned in the video was the boppy. My daughter Olivia is now 10 months old and I have been using it since birth. If you’re a breastfeeding mama or plan on breastfeeding, this is a must-have IMO.
Ayla & Co. Diaper Bags
I talk about these all the time but I am OBSESSED.
I was gifted the mini for my baby shower and the brand sent me the fanny and the full-sized diaper bag and I rotate through all three of them all the time depending on the day and where I’m headed out to.
I think they’re another must-have on every baby registry (especially the full-sized bag because it has so much more room and a ton of other features and add ons the others don’t.)
They also come in several other colors as well! You can check them all out here.
They also sell several different accessories separate from the bags. I have the card wallet and love to switch it in between bags depending on the day.
Ayla & Co. Full Sized Diaper Bag
This is the full-sized bag and it comes with a reusable snack bag, stroller straps, a leather changing pad, reusable wet bag, an insulated and removable bottle/snack pouch and a removable and washable inner liner.
Ayla & Co. Mini Diaper Bag
This mini is smaller than the full-sized but perfect for quick on the go trips, errands and outings. This is my default go to on most days.
The one thing the mini has that the full size does not have is a wallet / credit card holder section built into the inner liner.
Ayla & Co. Fanny
I love using this one for running my errands and it’s big enough to fit a few diapers and wipes!
Remarkable Tablet
I have the OG tablet from about 5+? years ago? There is now a totally updated Remarkable 2 tablet available. They don’t even sell the one I have anymore but I still LOVE IT.
Baby’s first year monthly milestone cards
I got these off of etsy when I was still pregnant with Olivia and have used them every month for her monthly milestone photos/videos. (I think I forgot to use the 10 month one for my photos.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
If you shop at Sephora, you’ve probably already heard of this (or got the mini as a free birthday reward) but it smells SO GOOD and is super creamy!
BeautyCounter Lip Balm
I love a good lip balm and this one is clean and smells and tastes like lemon. I love anything lemon flavored/scented and this feels so good and keeps my lips moisturized throughout the day.
I actually lost mine a few days after getting it, found it and then I accidentally let it go through the wash! My husband found it and it was completely empty!
Monat Hair Thinning Defense Serum
I have this to thank for all the extra hair growth especially in areas I’ve never had hair growth before (like my bird’s peak areas – I think that’s what you call it HA).
Gigi Pip Hat
Omg these hats are super cute and super high quality! I got the Cara Loren hat from a collab they did a few years back. I actually originally ordered it for my Halloween costume that year.
Mush Oats
I raved about these on my instagram stories a little while ago. They’re a recent find and my husband and I love them.
My favorites are the vanilla flavor and the dark chocolate flavors. My husband loves the apple cinnamon.
I get mine from either Giant, Amazon or Target.
Abercrombie Curve Love Jeans
I have been obsessed with these jeans lately! I have a handful of them and I love how they look and feel on me!
Cordless Dyson Vacuum
If you have a dog that sheds like we do, you know how important it is to have a cordless vacuum on hand for the daily vacuuming that HAS to happen. If I don’t vacuum everyday, piles of his hair end up all over the house.
Our Place Always Pan
My husband got this pan for me for my birthday last year (I asked for it haha) and we LOVE it. We use it every single day and I love how easy it is to clean. I don’t think we’ve touched another pan since.
Costco chocolate chip cookies
If you shop at Costco and haven’t tried their chocolate chip cookies from the bakery yet, you gotta try them! And if you don’t have a Costco in your area, I am so sorry! Lol
Hatch Sound Machine
This is another item I bought while at the end of my pregnancy with Liv and we use it every single night. We use the rain sound and have it set to automatically turn on at 7pm and shut off at 7am. It comes with an app where you can change the settings, colors and sounds. It’s so great.
Apparently they just came out with a portable Hatch!
Shop all the different Hatch products available to you here on Amazon.
Bรจis Weekender Bag
This is something I’ve had for a few years and LOVE for my weekend trips to the mountains or to the beach or pretty much any getaway. It’s so cute and fits a good amount (and even has a compartment on the bottom for your shoes).
Amazon face washing wrist bands
These were all over TikTok at one point and it’s literally genius! I hate the feeling of water running down to my elbows when I’m washing my face and these have been a game changer for preventing that. IYKYK.
Calm Weighted Blanket
This is something I’ve had for a good 5+ years and still use it to this day (even though my dog Remington chewed the one corner off when he was still a puppy).
If you struggle with anxiety like I used to, you’re going to love this thing! It hits all your pressure points and helps calm your body. It feels like you’re getting a giant hug and just makes you feel good. I keep mine on my bed underneath our comforter and use it while I sleep at night.
It’s pretty heavy so that’s where I keep it. I would like to get a lighter one for the living room.
Apparently they don’t sell this brand anymore and their website no longer works but I found one from Target that looks similar.
Those are all of my current favorites! I am excited to keep you updated on my favorites on the blog and on youtube. And if you’d like to see more and get real time life updates and favorites, etc. follow me on instagram and follow along on stories!
I hope you enjoyed the video + I hope this detailed blog post on some of my current favorites was helpful for you!
