Here’s a list of what I bought or am thinking of buying this year.

Dove Serum+ Shower Oil Body Wash with Glycerin Serum, Almond Oil & Sandalwood
$12.99 $8.34

This just got recommended by an influencer I follow as a substitute for that L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil that everyone recommends but is way too expensive. I'm about to run out of my shower soap anyway, so maybe I'll try it and see if the hype is real.

Liquid I.V.® Hydration Multiplier - Pina Colada | Electrolyte Powder Drink Mix
$23.96 $16.77
I literally just ran out of this a week ago, so it's perfect timing to stock up. It's also at Costco, but the Costco pack doesn't have the flavors I like (Pina Colada and Passionfruit).

BLUEAIR Blue Pure 211i Max Smart Air Purifier for Large Rooms up to 3,235 Sq Ft
$349.99 $189.99
We already have two of the Coway air filters further down the page, and they are workhorses. But, we moved and now we have a giant unbroken area that I think needs a larger HEPA filter to really clean the air well. Not in the cart yet, but debating heavily, especially with what I think will be a rough wildfire season coming up.

Sun Bum SPF 30 Sunscreen Sunset Cove Tinted Lip Balm
$9.99 $4.79

I bought the clear version for skiing earlier this year, as I misplaced my other SPF lip balms, and I really liked it. I'm going to pick up one of the tinted versions, because I love tinted lip balms to chuck in my purse but I should really have SPF in the summer.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Tubing Mascara
$13.99 $10.27

These are the things that I’ve bought in the past (and at least liked if not loved) but am not buying today. Maybe some day these products will all have an in-depth review on them, but writing reviews takes a lot of effort and time, so just take these little snippets for now!

TheraGun Therabody Relief - Quiet Deep Tissue Therapy Massage Gun
$159.99 $99.99

Excellent for working out whatever knots you have. We used to have a cheaper knockoff, and yes, you can tell the difference in speed/force. Worth the investment, especially at this price.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo - High-Pigment Compact Brow Powder with Mirrored Travel Case
$26.00 $18.20

I bought this a few years ago, and at the rate I'm using it it's going to last me many more years. Super easy to use, just brush it through the brows and they look fuller - one of my friends thought I got my brows "done" when I really just used this.

Reef Water Vista Womens Platform Sandal, Water Friendly
$64.99
I bought these in white as an 'emergency shoe' for my wedding and have since worn these a ton in the summer months since. They're waterproof and give you a little bit of height off the ground. They make another version without the back strap, but ya girl needs the extra support.

DREO Smart Fan for Bedroom, 120 +120 Omni-Directional Oscillating Fans
$129.99 $109.97

Are all the features of this fan necessary? Absolutely not. Is it fun to have a LED light fan with extremely granular controls that you can control from an app or a home assistant? Yes.

We have multiple.

Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw, 24 oz, Pink, Angel Food Cake
$29.99

I love this water bottle so much. It locks so it can't spill, it has a built in straw so I'm less likely to spill water everywhere. And it keeps water cold for a while! 24oz is my sweet spot for water bottle size, but there are also larger versions.

Coway Airmega AP-1512HH True HEPA Air Purifier with Air Quality Monitoring, Auto Mode
$229.99 $149.99
  • We have two of these air filters, one in our main living space, and one in our bedroom. We bought them in 2020 and they're still running perfectly.
  • You can add the filters to subscribe and save, so it's really easy to remember to switch them out.

PROS

  • Multiple settings allow for it to always be on, or adjust to how dirty the air is.
  • Switching the filters is a breeze.

CONS

  • You can't lock the buttons so the cat can jump on top and change all the settings.

Poppi Prebiotic Soda, Sparkling Water & Fruit Juice, Trend Setters, 12 Oz, 12 Pack
$23.97 $16.14

I think this is comparable to the Costco price, but the flavor mix I just got from Costco was preferable to the ones offered here. BUT if you're not a Costco person, or you drink a lot of Poppi, this is a pretty good deal.
