Have you ever found a product that blew away your expectations, delivered more than you imagined, and got you really excited every time you used it? These recent purchases fit in that category. They are the most incredible things I've worn, used, read, and done in a long, long time. If you are looking for next level feminine beauty and wellness in 2025, and maybe a little treat for yourself for Valentine's Day, allow me to suggest the following:

MILK VELVET PEARLS High Hopes Earrings to remind you that the best is yet to come. I've been wearing these earrings on repeat and have been getting the most gushing compliments. People don't say that they love my earrings exactly , but they keep gasping and telling me that I "look so chic"! (I can't be certain, but I think it's the earrings.)

Mouthtape by Lauryn Bosstick, The Skinny Confidential is seriously good. When I first heard about it and checked it out, I thought it was a little ridiculous. Although it claimed to enhance your sleep and improve your jawline, I couldn't stop imagining myself suffocating in the night. But after a few weeks of relentless ads, I finally broke down and got some, and I am so glad that I did. The pink tape is cute, and comfortable to sleep in, and the way it forces you to breathe through your nose really does bring a greater sense of relaxation and rest. I am sleeping better, and waking up looking and feeling more refreshed. Last night I thought that I wanted to sleep without it (to go back to normal and save on cost), but I immediately put one on again. I just feel better when it's on!! Now, I am crossing my fingers that it helps with the jawline as much as it helps with the sleep... That would be amazing.

- I discovered artist @kerr-chief while shopping at @thetinyfinch in San Antonio last fall. Her limited edition, nature inspired silk scarves are an unusual and artistic combination of masculine and feminine. Her designs remind me of the small town that I grew up in, and they make me feel more connected to my husband, father, and extended family, all of whom love to hunt and fish. The hunting gene skipped me.... but I can wear a pretty silk scarf with guns, and antlers, and fish on it!!

- I purchased the Face Roller by The Skinny Confidential in their Black Friday Sale and after using it twice a day, for just a few days, I noticed that the dark circles under my eyes were diminishing. I could hardly believe my own eyes! I had also started a new walking, infrared sauna, and cold plunging routine around the same time- so at first I thought maybe it was all the other things. But after I skipped using it a few times, I realized that it's definitely the face roller. It's the only thing that has come even remotely close to giving me the results that I got when I tried under eye filler - with no needles and no bruising! This luxurious lymph massager-roller is worth the time and money.

PILATES BY BYRONY is the most enjoyable, energizing and results-focused exercise program I have ever tried. Unlike running, cross-fit, expensive personal trainers, and the pilates instructors I've tried over the years (putting in a lot of time, getting injured, and not really seeing the desired changes in my body) ~ after 14 days of Pilates by Byrony, I can already see a big difference. Most days, I only do 10 minutes, and still my muscles, mood, posture and energy levels are already at the next level! Byrony Deery @pilatesbybyrony has an online library of over 400 workouts ranging in duration from 5 minutes to an hour, for the beginner through to the advanced. She does live classes, and creates beginner challenges too which makes it very easy to commit to doing pilates every day at home. Not only is she a gorgeous model showing you what is possible with consistency, her method of teaching encourages you every step of the way! Highly reccomend!!
