For an end of the year list, I thought I would share with you the silly, superficial, useful, or fabulous items that made my year suck just a tiny bit less. Also some TV shows, podcasts, and other activities. Let’s just admit that buying ourselves a little treat here and there is a nice pick-me-up in this age and it is the least we can do for ourselves. I will say that when I was dealing with chemo and radiation I went into a spiral of online shopping, it was the only thing making me feel good. So go ahead, dig it…
- Jo Malone Peony & Blush bath gel
- Rechoo Lipsticks
- Caldrea room spray
- Onsen Towels
- Guerlain mascara
- Sleeping face masks, all kinds, like this one
- Coop Pillows (finally a pillow my man and I don’t hate!)
- a Selfie Stick with a remote
- Love & Confuse linen dresses for the hot humid days
- Maria Black earrings
- Odyssey & Oddities earrings
- This pretty pillbox for all of my meds
- Killian Angel’s Share (divine and works for men too!)
- My Nespresso machine
- This amazing quilt I love to snuggle in
- LED smart bulbs are such an amazing thing
- Continental breakfasts
- Peach sparkling water
- dried Kiwi
- Runway shows on YouTube (I like to have them on loop on the TV in the background)
- Documentaries about the Blitz Kids on YouTube (there’s a lot)
- “Startup” Netflix
- “Euphoria” HBO
- Getting a pedicure every other month with my husband (I cannot do my own at this point)
- Fresh flowers, but not roses because my cats eat them!
- CBD and Delta 8 Gummie delivery
- Dr. Chatterjee’s “Feel Better Live More” Podcast
- the “Just Enough Family” Podcast
Aside from all of this, I bought some art, but trust me when I say I could buy soooo much if I had the income. I really should have started an art advisory back in the day; I pick winners and have impeccable taste. Anyway.
Let me know if you try any of these things and like it! Cheers, and happy 2022.
