12 Things I'm Loving Lately

back to my OG lists, baby!

Hi my loves! Happy Wednesday! I’ve been in full mom mode this week so wasn’t able to get out yesterday’s 12 Things Tuesday post, so I thought instead I would bring it back to my most OG list from my daily blogging days, Loving Lately!

I have really been in the mood to share links with you guys lately & make this blog a hub for all of my most frequently asked questions—so you can come to my Substack whenever you think, “Wait, what kind of formula does she recommend again?” or “What’s the best eye serum for chronic urticaria?” or simply, “What are those Prada boots she never takes off?!”

Soooo, that’s what today’s post is going to be. I also just reread this post from last week about expanding our containers to be able to hold our manifestations, and WOAH—that post was fully channeled. If you haven’t read it yet, I’d highly recommend. I feel like I have two blogging personalities: deep, otherworldly spiritual teacher, and millennial influencer who overshares every bit of her life. There is really no in-between. 😆 But both are fully ME, and I absolutely love it.

So let’s get into today’s loving lately!

12 Things I’m Loving Lately:

1. We just got this Breville coffee machine and I am absolutely, beyond words obsessed. I still need to fully teach myself how to use it, but Jonathan has been making me a delicious, steamy, frothy almond milk latte with it every morning and it is everything. For a girl who cannot stop herself from using Postmates to deliver everything from coffee to breakfast, lunch & dinner… this has stopped that morning habit in its tracks and has been worth every penny. It’s such a staple piece and I feel like it’s totally worth the investment. You can also use decaf beans with it, if you’re like me & super sensi to caffeine.

2. I somehow lost my Kindle Oasis in the move, which is weird because I set it aside in a special place (of course not sure where that ‘special place’ ended up being) since it is basically my most prized possession… and when I went to finally order a new one once I accepted it was gone, I found out that that model of Kindle is discontinued! I reluctantly got a Kindle Paperwhite instead, and OMFG. I love it so much more. I love the weight, functions and vibe of this one so much more. And I got a hot pink version which I think is so fun & chic!

3. We also somehow misplaced our Baby Brezza bottle maker in the move even though it’s so big I still don’t understand how that happened, but we can’t live without it. Delilah is fully formula fed, and this has saved our lives. We just bought a new one and I am OVER the moon to not have to hand-make and shake the bottles and get the temp just right… this machine does it for you and it’s a life saver. All moms & dads, highly recommend!

4. This is the varsity style Anine Bing sweater I got for Christmas that I never take off. I love that it’s oversized but I love a VERY oversized look, so I sized up to a Large. I wear it nearly every day (it’s chilly in LA right now) with these Lululemon Align leggings (I have like 45 pairs lol) & my APL sneakers & call it a day!

5. Speaking of APL’s… I just got three new colors I can’t wait to show you guys. If you’re looking for the chicest, comfiest sneaker that you can wear for anything from child wrangling to running to just doing errands, these are the vibe. I will share all my new colors on IG when they come, but a sneak peek is… this one!! THE COLORS. DROOL!

6. If you’ve ever seen my comfy fluffy blankets on my Instagram, then you know I take the cozy life seriously. The Lola Blanket X Tezza collection is absolutely amazing, and it just restocked. They have regular size & baby size—I like the huge ones, but that’s just me. We have them in every room in our house! Use the code YOUNGER for 35% off anything on their site!! Best. Brand. Ever.

7. This Barefoot Dreams blanket is another favorite of mine, with the coziest matching slippers & matching robe! My nighttime ensemble, every night baby.

8. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect pair of black loafers, and I think I found them! I ordered these today, and will report back on the vibe once they arrive. :) I am dying for the Prada loafers but will try these first and let you know all of my thoughts!

9. The face eczema right now has been out of control, so I have been leaving my TSC ice roller in the freezer & rolling my face with ice-cold water every morning. Also, these matcha-infused eye patches are my morning go-to and don’t irritate my skin which is a huge plus. They are the ONLY eye patch I have ever used that I feel really works!

10. Everyone on IG has been wanting my Yin Yang kimono robe, so here is the link! I am so obsessed with it! I actually got mine at the Brentwood Farmer’s Market but found the exact same one for you. :) Enjoy, cozy cozy!

11. I have a new podcast episode out today with my mama bestie Celeste Thomas. We are talking all things moms of two, transitioning from 1-2, how to find your mom tribe, birth stories, and more. Listen here!!

12. We are getting a whole home filtration water system done in our house with Ophora Water! You can always use the code BLONDE10 for 10% off their water… and I am having the founder on my pod soon! I am elated to install this system with them for our home, and soon I think we are going to do our POOL with their water too. The ultimate game changer.

What did I miss?! Any other links you want from me?! Love you all, off to work on my book all day eeek!! So so excited!! XO
