A house and taking better care of myself is what tops my list of goals for the new year! I’ve been working really hard on myself setting goals, getting healthier, and trying to develop better habits. And in the spirit of a new year new me I wanted to share 15 things I’m excited to try/have and love! Here’s to the best year yet!
Weighted Blanket: Legitimately one of my favorite Christmas presents this year! It has been the biggest help, the first night I came home with it, I was out in 15 mins. which is abnormal for me. It’s so calming and has really eased my anxiety when I have felt overwhelmed. I created a cocoon at the end of my couch. Best thing ever lol!
Himalayan Salt Lamp: This is on my list of purchases for this year. They’re mood boosting and honestly the glow from them I find calming. They are also supposed to release negative ions which purify the air, there isn’t a lot of evidence for this – but I figure it’s still worth a shot!
Yoga Toes: There are so many awesome reviews on these and I just really think it will help relieve tension from a long day. This is also supposed to help improve balance, which I sincerely need!
Silk Pillowcases: These are the best things ever! They are supposed to help keep your hair looking amazing. They don’t cause as much friction compared to regular pillowcases so it helps deter wrinkles and creases caused from regular pillowcases.
Also, they are a great idea if you wear lash extensions, due to less friction on them while you sleep. I’m super excited to get these! They also come in other colors.
Half Bolster Pillow: These are amazing for knee and back support, especially if you have a hard time getting restful sleep, and getting comfortable at night. Definitely getting one soon!
Sound Machine: I love these things! The sound of the ocean is my favorite! I used to have one forever ago and I’m ready to get a new one. This one was my favorite because it also has a nightlight, which is a big plus…. because I’m not a big fan of the dark. 😂
Blue Light Blocking Glasses: If you’re on your phone or computer a lot these are a must buy. They block the harmful light your electronics give off. I have definitely been in need of these.
#FutureBoards: This is such an awesome book! I just finished the first section of the book and I’m sooo excited for the next portion. This is great for helping you set goals. Last year was my first year creating a vision board, and I struggled with organizing and ended up overwhelmed with all that I want and need to accomplish. This has me super excited to create a new one, and learn how to use it effectively!
52 Lists for Happiness: Best journaling book ever! I am currently working through this guided journal and I seriously love it, I can’t wait to get more of these guided journals, I think they are a great idea for self care and keeping ourselves in check!
Neck Massage Device: I’m beginning to see these a lot and the reviews are awesome! Usually I’m unimpressed by these things, but I am intrigued by the arm rests. It’s also supposed to reach deep tissue, which I currently need lol!
Weighted eye mask: After being amazed by my weighted blanket I’m fully ready to try these! They are supposed to help with headaches, allergies, and anxiety.
Travel Pillow: I just love that it’s made of memory foam. I can’t wait to get this and keep it in my car, for when I’m in the car for extended amounts of time. My car seats don’t have the greatest head rests so this I feel like will be a game changer!
Airplane Footrest: I have a lot of friends that travel a good bit, and I thought this was an awesome idea and wanted to include it! I’m currently trying to get over my fear of flying, but you can bet when I do, this will be one of the first things I get…. this and Dramamine. #motionsickness
Aculief: It’s basically a wearable acupressure and is supposed to help relieve headaches. I think it’s a great idea! I definitely want to get this to keep in my purse. I swear the led lights from people’s cars give me a migraine every darn time!
Towel Warmer: My bathroom, when I get my house is going to be as close to a spa as possible, and this is going in it. I love fresh out of the dryer towels and really really want this lol!
As always, thanks for taking the time to read through this! I hope some of these resonate in helping you in one way or another.
