I’m always on the lookout for small things that make everyday life a little easier or more enjoyable, whether it’s at home, on the go, or for my mom. Over the past year, I’ve picked up a mix of practical items, little indulgences, and clever gadgets that really stand out. From comfort-boosting cushions to skincare, kitchen tools, and travel essentials, these are the products I’ve found myself reaching for again and again, and in some cases, wishing I had discovered them sooner.

As the crisp autumn breeze rolls in, it’s the perfect time to give your home a little fall refresh. This year, it’s all about cozy textures and a touch of luxury that still feels comfortable and lived-in. I’m going to show you how to style your entryways, console tables, and coffee tables so your home feels welcoming, layered, and full of autumn vibes. The photo above is my fall tray on my coffee table. It's a mix of bronze and cracked pumpkins, glitter acorns, a pinecone, and a twist candle in burnt orange.

It's that time of year again, the Sephora Savings Event is from Oct 31 to Nov 10. As I've explained before I only shop here when they have a sale. I don't have much to buy this time around since I organized all my makeup into drawers and I easily see how much of an backstock I have. I will be picking up the Refy lipgloss in plum and stocking up on hair products. I wanted to share why plum lipstick belongs in your fall makeup lineup. So meet your new fall obsession - plum lips! 

Netflix just dropped its movie adaptation of Ruth Ware’s novel, and honestly it’s so good it deserved a theatrical release. Before you hit play, I recommend putting your phone away and dimming the lights (I use a blue light bulb for the perfect moody glow).

The film stars Keira Knightley, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Hannah Waddingham, along with a cast of British actors so authentic you might want subtitles to catch every line. Set aboard a luxurious yacht filled with the ultra-wealthy and well-connected, the story follows journalist Keira Knightley as she witnesses a passenger fall overboard. When no one believes her, she risks everything to uncover the truth.

In this murder mystery, everyone’s a suspect and possibly a villain. Not sure when was the last time I saw a movie with this much atmosphere and mystery. It’s suspenseful, exciting, and well produced. At just an hour and a half, it’s a tight thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. If you love a good whodunit, this one’s a must-watch.
