So I probably should have titled this 10 best things I’ve either been given, purchased, or was sent this year, but that would be insanely ridiculous for a blog title. So these aren’t all 10 best purchases but they are things I have acquired in one way or another this year so far!
10 Best Purchases (So Far) This Year
Yoga Mat: So I started doing yoga pretty regularly this year and figured I needed to invest in a better yoga mat. I asked on a local Facebook group and I got so many recommendations for a Jade yoga mat. It’s been great and I feel like it’s kept me encouraged to keep practicing.
Ice Roller: I saw so many people talk about these and considering they were pretty budget friendly I had to give it a try. I use it almost every day and it is beyond refreshing and I notice a huge difference in my skin.
Origins Smoothing Souffle: I was sent this from Origins and I have since repurchased it several times. It is my go to body lotion and is insanely hydrating. It got me through the winter months.
Tata Harper Face Wash/Lip Balm: The team from Tata Harper sent me an amazing package and these were two of the items in it. The refreshing face wash and the lip balm are wonderful and they are CLEAN of any crazy ingredients.
AirPods: These were a birthday gift and I was very unsure of the purchase for a while and so grateful to have gotten them for my birthday. I use them every day and I love love love them!
Cuyana Tote Bag: I had been eyeing this tote bag for a LONG time and I got a gift card for Christmas that needed to be used. So there ya go. It’s great for travel which was my reason for getting it. Also as a mom I need large bags to put ALL THE THINGS in.
Yeti Tumbler: Andrew gave me a Yeti Tumbler for Christmas so I don’t know if it counts, but I have been using it NONSTOP! I love how cold it keeps my water and I for sure get the appeal.
Sweatshirt: I got this sweatshirt in March and have been wearing it NONSTOP! Sadly, it’s sold out. Hoping more come back.
Outdoor Voices Bras: Outdoor voices was kind enough to gift me with one of their sports bras and it quickly became my favorite! Check them out if you need a good one!
I also wanted to note that I have a fun new Amazon shop page! You can shop all my fav things to buy on Amazon, which is basically everything we buy! Most of these items are included. So check it out here!
Been on and off about the Airpods for the longest time! I haven’t been seeing people around me switch yet – or maybe I just haven’t noticed. Guess I’ll be giving them a try the next time (touchwood!) I lose my earphones, haha! 🙂
My husband purchased me two tumblers, and I love them both. He also had my initials monogrammed on them so they are super special, and I drink from them every day!
LOVE LOVE LOVE my AirPods! And I need to get that Origins Smoothing Souflee, sounds like something I need. I currently jade roll, but need to look into and ice roller!
I have heard awesome things about Yeti’s and I think I need one. I have no idea what airpods are, off to check those out. I need to get a few things for my office to spruce it up, like inspirational wall hangings and a new desk 😉
These are all great ideas and would make great gifts too. I have my eye on that Classic Leather Zipper Tote. It is gorgeous and looks like it is quality too.

I love Old Navy – they really do have great workout clothes. I got some there recently and I’m already wanting more. LOL

I think I’d like the ice roller too! We have Yeti’s too and also love them. Great for transporting your drinks for sure.

Loved this roundup, I’m obsessed with the ice roller! I use it every morning, best purchase I’ve made in awhile!
I am definitely going to get my hands on some of that Origins Smoothing Souflee! It sounds divine!

I have a yoga mat too and love it! I really want to do yoga again – it’s definitely one of my favorite workouts.

I love Origins skincare products!
Love all of these, but a good yoga mat is such a gamechanger!
Yeti’s are the best. I’m a huge coffee drinker and this has been my best purchase this year too.
I’m glad to hear Old Navy has upped their game again. I’d love to check them out!
Yetti tumbler!! I’ve heard those are amazing! Love your blog, btw!

Yes, the Yeti tumbler is definitely a worthwhile purchase. I was blessed with mine as a gift.
