As the year wraps up, I’ve been reflecting on the little (and not-so-little) things that have made life easier, more comfortable, and, honestly, more fun. From beauty tools and wardrobe staples to home essentials and kid-friendly hacks, this list is a collection of my 2024 favorites. These are the products I’ve reached for again and again, the ones that have stood the test of time, and the ones I can’t stop recommending to friends and family.

When it comes time to replace your undergarments, I highly recommend this brand. The bra is super supportive without being too tight or restricting. I also really love the high-waisted underwear. They offer just enough oomph to hold things in (moms, IYKYK) but are still super comfy. 10/10 in my book.

EBY bra and high-waisted underwear

IT cosmetics two-sided brush

I never really thought about makeup brushes much until I found this two-sided brush from IT. Because it’s two-sided, it’s so easy to quickly apply liquid or powder foundation and concealer and buff away imperfections. I like to start with the large end to apply foundation, then use the micro-end to apply concealer precisely.

Collapsible Reusable Insulated Grocery Bag

I discovered this via Sivan Ayla over the summer and I’ve kept them in my car ever since for my weekly grocery runs. They’re better than any other reusable bag situation I’ve tried before. I love that I can stack them on top of each other and that they’re insulated so I can run another errand after grocery shopping if I need to. I keep them collapsed in my car and in my car when I’m not using (while shopping). 

Amazon leggings

I’ve been an avid Align fan since 2016. And I’ve tried so many different amazon “dupes” but was never impressed. Once I tried these, I truly was blown away and now reach for these *more* than my lulu aligns because I like that they’re a little higher waisted. Plus, the price point is SO much better (⅓ the price!)

Frank & Eileen travel set

The comfiest travel outfit I’ve ever owned. I love that the sweatshirt has a cropped raw hem and a cute collared V neckline. The sweatpants are also cropped with a drawstring waistband and no pockets so it has a super sleek look. They’re perfect for lounging at home or road trips with a casual vibe.

Minnow pajamas

I still love my LAKE pajamas but the Minnow ones were a new discovery for me this year and I find myself reaching for them more. They’re lighter weight, have more stretch to them. And fit a little more fitted than Lake. I wish they had more patterns because I want more! 

New Balance 530 Sneakers

My most worn sneakers. I wear them for strength training and going on walks. I love that they also look cute if I want to style an athleisure look as well. 

Baked Cod Recipe

My friend Sam shared this and I’ve since made it 10+ times. My entire family is also obsessed with it. It’s such a good weeknight dinner option that’s semi-healthy and lightweight but also tastes really good. 

Stitchy gun

I have used this thing for so much more than what I originally purchased it for, which was to stitch low cut tops that I wanted to stay in place. I’ve also used it to hem my son’s pants a couple times and to attach my bra to a sleeveless top when it kept sliding out. I also used it to attach parts of my kids’ Halloween costumes that wouldn’t stay in place. It’s been such a useful tool to have! 

Primally Pure Plumping Serum

I’ve been an avid Vintner’s Daughter user since I first got pregnant in 2020. I loved how hydrating it was and that it was an oil vs. a cream. The PP plumping serum has officially replaced my VD serum and I’m loving it. My skin is pretty dry, so I need something thicker. I’ve been hearing about PP for years actually, and I’m now a huge fan myself! I like the serum and their dry shampoo.

Xirena Boden coverup

Talk about the perfect thing to throw on over your swimsuit! I wore this coverup on a girls’ trip to Mexico earlier this year. I love the pop of red and the soft material makes it so easy to throw on and go.

Veggie chopper

I used to dread cutting onions because I cry so much. I even wore my ski goggles at times because it really was that bad. Now, I can cut multiple onions and it’s not an issue. Plus, the chopper chops them much better than I could manually. 

AGOLDE Ren Jeans

I had to get these hemmed but the trip to the tailor was well worth it for me. They’re the perfect amount of wide-leg without being too baggy and the high-waist helps balance out the proportions since I’m on the shorter side. They also have just enough stretch to them, which I appreciate in jeans.

Branch Basics

I switched all our cleaning products over the BB in Fall 2023 and haven’t looked back. I use it now for literally everything in my home and have saved money in the process because I don’t have 37 different cleaning products anymore. 

Mixed metal watch band

High end look for my Apple Watch that’s actually very budget-friendly. I’ve been using mine since February of this year and haven’t looked back. I even wear it to workout; however, I don’t do much high intensity cardio. In the summer, when I’d go on longer walks or when I went through a jogging phase, I would switch to this band.

Quince cardigan

This has become part of my fall and winter mom uniform with a white tee, denim and sneakers or ballet flats. I’ve also worn it with leggings – so cute!

Joe’s Mia Jeans

These are by far some of y’all’s favorite jeans I’ve ever worn. People went CRAZY over these when I first posted them! And since then, they’ve been a best seller month over month. I love that they’re wider-legged but aren’t too baggy. I cannot do the full-on baggy jean trend because I’m too short and just feel sloppy in that look. These are the perfect compromise. I got mine hemmed so that I could wear them with heeled booties and I LOVE how they elongate my legs. 

Weezie long towel robe

I got this as a gift for Valentine’s day and I’ve found myself wearing this more than my other robes when I get out of the shower and am getting ready. It’s towel material so I like that I don’t have to fully dry-off to put it on. And I appreciate the longer length. Plus, the scallop detailing is so cute! 

Amazon red cardigan

I’m picky with sweater material because I can’t stand when they’re too itchy. This is the perfect amount of stretch and comfort and I like that it’s cropped so I can wear over dresses or with high-waisted bottoms. 

The $20 amazon slippers

These have become my go-to slippers as of late (when I’m not wearing my TAZ ones). I use them as my house slippers and the foam insole is very comfortable. They’ve held up now for over 18 months. 

Rag & Bone high-waisted wide-leg jeans

These may actually have been my most-worn jeans from 2024. I’ve been such a fan of skinny jeans that I wasn’t sure how I would like wide-leg jeans but man, these are the best. I think they’re so flattering, and the wider leg is really elongating for those of us with shorter legs.

Travel busy bag

This should be the MVP for the year for me. I created it for summer travels and have been using it ever since for restaurants as well. My kids STILL love everything in the bag and it has not gotten old. Every single mom of toddlers needs to have one! I’m going to add some markers and coloring supplies for our next trip since my kids have gotten more into coloring.
