Seems like 2019 went by in a blur. Between a busy year of design work, family time, church commitments, travel, and exercise/recreational time, my head still feels like it’s swimming!
And since I know you are every bit as busy as I am, today I’m sharing 10 favorite products that made my life a little easier, a little prettier, or a little more comfortable in 2019. Maybe one of these things will be a lifesaver for you as well.
A little easier
I know I’m behind the times, but 2019 was the year I finally figured out how to really use my Instant Pot – and boy, did it make my life easier! Since I’m not the most organized cook on the planet, being able to whip together a hot and delicious meal in a fraction of the time it usually takes is a real blessing!
I don’t have a whole lot of time to spend on a complicated skin care routine, but I do like to try to be good to my skin. This BHA Liquid Exfoliant has been a real game changer in my skin care routine. It’s quick and easy to use, and it leaves my skin tone looking much brighter and more even.
A mini portable phone charger is one of those things that after you have used for a while, you don’t know how you ever lived without! This baby has saved me lots of stress over a dead phone battery. A total necessity for sure.
Keeping up on my ever-growing reading list has been so much easier with my Kindle this year! It’s so easy to throw it in my purse or an overnight bag, and just like that you have a good book at your fingertips. I use mine every single day!
A little prettier
Okay, this pretty little white dutch oven has definitely made my life a little prettier. I have bought this pretty and practical cookware for myself, my clients, and my daughter. Not only does it cook beautifully, it looks good sitting on a stove top. Cookware that serves as decor – now that’s a win-win!
Organizing a home takes work, but when you have pretty baskets, like these chevron bamboo baskets from Serena & Lily, the task is not only easier, it’s prettier, too. And believe me, I use LOTS of baskets both in my home and in my design projects. They’re perfect for storing pillows, magazines, books, blankets, laundry, plants… I could go on and on!
These chukkas could easily fit under my “prettier” AND “more comfortable” headings, but I’ll leave them in prettier because I think they’re so cute! And man are they comfortable. They make a three-hour hunt through a tile store a breeze!
More Comfortable
Have you ever slept on linen sheets? I hadn’t until I got these gorgeous Positano Linen Sheets from Serena & Lily, and I am now a convert! These sheets truly get softer and more comfortable with every washing. They make me feel like I’m sleeping in a fine hotel every night. So good! You can read more about how I used them in my guest room makeover here.
Comfortable jeans are the work horse of my wardrobe, and when they look as cute and are as comfortable as these wide leg cropped jeans (the high waist is also a plus for comfort), I’m hard pressed not to wear them every day.
My husband and I have recently taken up cross-country skiing and I’ve been on the hunt for a sweater that isn’t too bulky and that wicks moisture away. I think the hunt is over with this 1/4 zip sweater. Comfy, cute, and easy to layer. Give it a try if you’re into winter sports!
That’s it for my top 10 favorite products of 2019! Hope you found a few that will make it to your list of favorites too. And Happy New Year – hope 2020 treats you well. Thanks for stopping by!
