Waterworks Sanitizing Spray Bottle

I found this bottle via @cocoincashmere on Instagram and it was an immediate purchase for me. This Waterworks Sanitizing Spray Bottle, when filled with water, produces “aqueous ozone,” which is 99.9% effective at eliminating common bacteria including e-coli, salmonella, and staphylococcus. The bottle lasts up to three years/600 refills (whichever comes first) and the reviews for this product don’t lie. Here’s my basic understanding of the science: the bottle bubbles oxygen and water through a proprietary diamond electrolytic cell which (thanks to an electric charge) separates the O2 molecules into O-atoms which re-form into O3 molecules. These O3 molecules then…

Custom Name Stamp For Children’s Clothing

File this custom name stamp under incredibly useful and adorable. Once your little ones enter preschool, mid-day outfit changes are inevitable after art class goes awry. If you’d like to get all of your child’s belongings back at the end of the day, use this custom stamp to declare what’s theirs. The stamp itself is so cute you might also have a little helper or two dying to get involved. If you’re dealing with toddlers like I am, I highly recommend against allowing them to get involved because the ink doesn’t bleed or fade in the wash. This is mommy’s…

Infinity Pillow

I’ve lost count of how many rave reviews I’ve heard for this Infinity Pillow, so it was time for me to order a couple for the next time we travel. They’re made of soft, breathable bamboo fabric, and these pillows are wildly adjustable to help you find a comfortable way to sleep no matter what part of the journey you’re on. The cloud-like microfiber bounces back and the ways to use it are endless: wrapped around your neck to support your head, wound around your lower back for lumbar support, or even arranged as a make-shift nest for a snoozing…

Gingham Apron

Why, pray tell, did aprons stop being a thing? Yes, I know chefs are still wearing them, but I’m talking about you and me. Average Janes who don’t always have time to change out of our work clothes before it’s time to whip something up for hangry children. We’re bringing them back into the mainstream fold. I declare it. They’re so necessary! Not just for cooking but also for just… being around toddlers who are often covered in… all the things. I love this gingham apron as well as the entire apron section at Anthropologie. Super functional and super cute.…

Brass Mister & Pruning Shears

If you love having plants and fresh flowers in the house, this brass mister and pruning sheers set is essential. Misting and pruning cut flowers every day really extends their lifespan. You can also use it to take care of plants throughout the house. I can’t really remember how I took care of my plants before I had this set. Oh wait, no I remember… yeah, I just watched them all die in slow motion.

Ballard Designs Gallery Art Easel

There’s no better time to grab this gorgeous easel from Ballard Designs than right now when the site is 20% off! I recently bought the large option in bronze to fill a particularly difficult-to-decorate nook in our sunroom where the art is better displayed in front of the wall rather than hanging directly on it (I’ll share photos when the room is finished). They also have smaller versions of these easels which work really well for holding art atop credenzas or consoles (creating that gorgeous layered look) or for when you just can’t hang art on the wall for any…

Ceramic Auto-Retracting Box Cutter

Why, WHY did it take me so long to buy a proper box cutter? Specifically THIS ONE? These change everything. In addition to, you know, cutting boxes effortlessly, they also have an auto-retracting ceramic blade that gives me so much more peace of mind with little ones in the house. I stash these ceramic box cutters out of reach in a top drawer next to my front and back doors for convenience.

We’re all trimming our wicks properly, yes? Well, let’s start. Hotel Lobby Candle makes outstanding candles in elevated scents you’ll want in every room, but thankfully they also make an amazingly chic wick trimmer so that we can keep our candles in good condition as they burn. It really does make a difference, this is one of those purchases you’re always so happy to have around, and because it’s gorgeous, you’ll never mind leaving it out where it’s handy.

Dish Squeegee

What are we supposed to scrape dishes with, OUR HANDS? This soft and flexible dish squeegee is much smarter and more efficient than scraping your dishes with whatever dirty knives or forks are lying around. Get your dishes cleaner, faster, or prep them for the dishwasher instantly. I also love that it spares your dishes extra scraping and scratching. This is the smartest $7 I’ve spent in a while.
