Rich’s Standing Desk

Did I make fun of my husband for becoming “that guy” with a standing desk obsession? Yes. Did I become “that gal” with a standing desk obsession when he went away on a business trip and I got to try it? Also yes. Customize it to the height you prefer, and the color that best suits your space. While I typically like to do my own research I can assure you that Rich did a DEEP DIVE and this was the winner of all standing desks in terms of both price and quality. UPDATE: RICH GOT ME MY OWN STANDING DESK…

Iron Supplement

I experienced anemia during my first pregnancy (which is extremely common), again with my second pregnancy and a year later my iron levels are still not what they should be. If you’re feeling perpetually sluggish, you might want to ask your doctor if your iron levels are to blame. After I started taking this iron supplement—one that specifically doesn’t negatively impact your gut—I felt like a completely revived person. My energy levels are thankfully back to where they need to be.

Juliska Rattan Silverware Caddy

Elevating the look of casual outdoor dining can be a challenge. While the food may be outstanding, barbecues and cookouts don’t always have the smartest aesthetic. There are, however, simple upgrades you can make to keep your table looking polished but still seasonal, laid-back, and fun, like this effortless rattan silverware caddy. We actually use this year-round when we have pizza/movie parties in the basement rec room with family, but nothing beats a summer evening in the backyard with friends. I also just ordered this matching gorgeous tray from the same Juliska “Provence” collection and it’s breathtaking in person.

Scalloped Coffee Mugs

Sometimes you just need a little more charm with your morning beverage, what can I say? These scalloped coffee mugs by Southern Living honestly look like they belong in a dollhouse but I’m thrilled they are large enough for the dose of caffeine I require. Obviously these are incredible for entertaining, but affordable enough for everyday use as well. There’s also a full suite of scalloped table essentials, should you wish to build a cohesive set.

Headboard Stoppers

First, get your mind out of the gutter. We don’t actually use these for headboards (though you can, of course) and have instead found them useful for all kinds of other furniture that is placed against walls that are prone to rattling or getting knocked. These stopper devices keep your furniture from hitting or scuffing walls and making annoying noises. They’re easy to install, adjustable, and SO versatile. Check out all the different uses for these stoppers here.

Picnic Food Covers

You can do so much better than a paper towel that’s most definitely going to fly away. Opt for these picnic food covers by Amanda Lindroth in the sweetest, most charming little prints. They coordinate with other linens from the brand of course, and a small weight in the corners of each cover keeps them in place, so you’re not sharing your al fresco food with local insects, and you’re not chasing your picnic linen across the park.

My Viral Body Exfoliating Mitt

I’ve mentioned this many times in the past, but I want to be extremely certain you heard me. I’ve been passionate about in-shower exfoliating mitts and gloves for over fifteen years. Through some bizarre Amazon rabbit hole, I discovered this exfoliating mitt and am here to proclaim that it is everything you want it to be and then some. The stellar reviews, if anything, have been understated (but seriously, please read the first review on the Amazon product page about zombies and drain creatures, please). Forget your dry brushing nonsense and cut right to the chase with these gloves that…

Affordable Picture Light

Once you’ve made an artwork purchase and paid (quite a bit) to have it framed, wouldn’t it be nice if you could, I don’t know, see it? If you’ve ever searched for artwork lighting you may have noticed that it can be obscenely pricey. HOWEVER, I’ve found one that’s not and I share it with you because I believe deeply that everyone (and everything) deserves proper lighting.
