10 Favorite Purchases This Year

So I was thinking recently about some things I have accumulated this year that have really been used a ton. I figured why not share them with you guys! So today here are my 10 favorite purchases this year. I will be honest that a few of these were gifted, but honestly after using them I would buy them again and again!

10 Favorite Purchases This Year

Salad Chopper: So this is a weird one to start with, but here’s the thing… I love salads. I was going to Salata and Whole Foods constantly to get chopped salads because I couldn’t figure out how to replicate it at home. Well once I saw this Salad Chopper I knew it was perfect. It seems gimicky but I use it at least twice a week. Chopped salads have been my jam this summer. You need this in your life!

Sole Society Bag: I snagged this during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I love how it’s such a great dupe for the Givenchy bag! It goes with EVERYTHING and the quality can’t be beat.

Fresh Rose Toner: Fresh so generously let me spend a day shopping in their NorthPark store and this was one of the items suggested to me! I spray this on my face right after I wash it and let it dry. It really lets my serum and moisturizer soak in.

Dyson Hairdryer: Dyson sent me this hairdryer to try and you can read my full review here. This thing is AMAAAAZING! It dries super fast and my hair has never been healthier.

Kono Wine: So random right? Well at a friends kiddos b-day party she poured me a glass of this and holy yum! It’s legit the only wine I drink now!

Adidas Sandals: I remember having a pair of these in middle school and basically living in them. So YAY for things coming back around. These have been my go to shoe to throw on for errands, Liam’s swim class, and everything in between.

Nike Joggers: I saw a blogger friend post about these and I immediately ordered them! This was MONTHS ago and I finally broke them out recently and have been LIVING in them!

Barefoot Dreams Blanket: Another Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchase. I love Barefoot Dreams sweaters so of course a blanket needed to happen. Do I sleep with it every night? Maybe.

Fresh SPF lip balm: Another sweet gift from the lovelies at Fresh. I have always loved the Sugar Lip Blam and this one with SPF is perfect for the summer or anytime you are outside.

Go Strap: I believe I actually got this in late 2016 so this one is kind of a cheat but having a baby I use this all the time. Its great to loop my finger through with my larger iPhone and make sure I don’t drop it!

Do you have any favorite purchases this year? Let me know!

  1. I need a salad chopper too! I know it’s not a necessity, but given how much I love salads and how often I consume them… it’s justified!

  2. I’m a sucker for a good lipstick with SPF in it! I feel like lips are always ignored when it comes to applying sunscreen.

  5. I see so many people with straps and knobs on their iPhones for easier holding.
    I don’t know why I’ve been holding out. I usually don’t drop my phone, but I need it propped up from time to time.

    You had me at ADIDAS sandals, I have not worn those in years. They were always my favorite brand to purchase growing up and they are super comfy. I will have to give them a try for wear around the home sandals, as I usually wear sandals or flip flops around the house.

    I got my first pair of joggers this year (it was actually a jogger and crop top set) and holy smokes they feel amazing! I love to wear them when I’m traveling, in fact the fact that I was so comfortable in them yesterday made my extra long delay bearable, and they’re also great for running errands!
