THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS..🎵

Happy Holidays! Today, I'm sharing a few of my favorite things from 2023. While these are just a few, I hope this list gives you a little gift inspo for the holiday season! In no particular order (links included):

 

This book of poetry and prose is one of my favorites this year. It's a perfect read first thing in the morning or right before bed at night. His gift of language helps us better understand how to navigate uncertainty, inhabit self love, and engage in relationships with authenticity and compassion. A beautiful and inspiring read!

 

I stumbled upon this artist on instagram, check out her poem “Joy Chose You" and you will see why I had to consume her work. What a happy accident! This book would make a lovely gift for you or someone you love.  

 

You don't have to be a parent to find value from Dr. Shefali's work. This book is paradigm shifting and will make you rethink ideas around parenting and being parented. Her insightful teachings bring a consciousness to the significance of learning how to reparent yourself. It's the first book I have read and listened to at the same time, so good!  

 

These have been my favorite addition to sleepwear and the perfect stocking stuffer. You won't even know they are on, they are so comfy. You will want one for every day of the week!

 

It's Taco Tuesday and you're craving a margarita but you don't want the adverse side effects of a cocktail, try these FOCL CBD drops instead. Add to your favorite sparkling water or try it with Yuzu & Lime AVEC non-alcoholic mixer. Yummy and refreshing! For all my fellow insomniacs, if you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, the FOCL Deep Sleep gummies can be super helpful.  

 

There's a trend going on here with my favorites list 😴… These pj's are so affordable and comfy. Perfect for that weekend away with family or friends, when you want to sleep a little more…modest. Usually, sleeves and shorts make me feel like I'm confined in a straight jacket when I sleep. However, these are unexpectedly soft and flexible. 

 

LOVE, love, love these products. I've been on the hunt for a favorite cleanser and moisturizer for a long time. This brand leaves my skin feeling so clean and hydrated! They have smaller gift sets available too which is a nice way to give it a try.  

 

I've been eyeballing one of these for a couple of years! It's an awesome paperless option, syncs to your devices, and has allowed me to eliminate a million notebooks. I use it way more than I thought I would. If you make a lot of lists and take a lot of notes, I highly recommend it.

 

I feel like I was a little late to the party with this company. Super affordable and timeless pieces. Lots of great gift ideas too!  I'm in love with all their cashmere sweaters. If you haven't heard of them, I'm sorry and you're welcome. You've been fully warned. 😜

 

Yes, sunscreen has made my favorites list because it's just that good. This is the first face sunscreen that hasn't left me looking like a shiny, greasy hot mess. Layer it on top of your fave moisturizer, it's so light and smooth you won't even notice it's there! 

 

There could be an entire blog post about the experience I've had taking Sarah Baldwin's Navigating Your Nervous System and You Make Sense courses (maybe someday there will be). Her work has and continues to change my life. Understanding how to take control of your emotions and perceptions of the world around you begins with understanding how and why your nervous system responds the way it does. A gentle and compassionate approach, tangible and practical tools, and an abundance of knowledge are just a few of the reasons why these courses have been so exceptional--if not the most powerful content I've ever consumed.   

 

Well that was fun! What's on your favorites list for 2023? I'd love to hear from you. Wishing you peace and presence as you navigate the holiday season. As always, stay open, brave, and on-purpose.
