Here’s what’s making me happy :-) in no particular order:
Checklists
I’m a visual person and even though I’m mainly digital, I’m loving checking things off my to-do list each day. These is the planner I’m using:
Simple Elephant Daily Calendar with Goal Setting Pages, a Notebook, and even a Vision Board.
Organization
These are some of my new favorite things to keep me organized:
Sink Topper: makes more room for makeup and hair tools on your sink
Pot Lid Organizer (25% coupon today)
Under Cabinet Small Appliance Organizer (15% coupon today)
Makeup Organizer (48% off and an extra 5% coupon today)
You can find all my Organization favorites here, and I also have videos of me using all of them.

Dyson AirStrait
It’s still the best thing I’ve bought all year. Time saver for sure. And yes, it’s a splurge.
Dairy Free
I’m vegetarian but not vegan. After I did ProLon last year, the dietician recommended that women over the age of 40 limit their dairy intake. I just watched the documentary, You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment on Netflix, and decided to go dairy-free for 2 weeks.
It doesn’t help that I’ve had the never-ending cold for over a week now, but I’ll report back soon. Thoughts?
Speaking of ProLon, you can read my review of the 5-Day Fast Mimicking Diet here. I was a skeptic but I loved it. ProLon reached out and asked if I wanted to run a giveaway and I’d love for you to try it out.
Let me know
Amazon Tip
Did you know you can archive an order? Why would you want to do that? Well, let’s say you’re buying a gift for someone in your house and you don’t want them to see it, you can archive the order so it doesn’t show up. I also just learned that you can set up Amazon Household so everyone has basically their own account, and you can even limit your teen’s spending.
Be sure to follow me there.
