Before we get into this past year’s favorites, I must say, I still love and use the vast majority of my 2020-21 Favorites! (That Amazon table is SO good, it gets used all.the.time in our house. Although, yikes, it was half the price when I got it! 😬) So if Favorites posts are your jam, have a peek over there or at the periodic Favorites updates I shared during 2022!
Now, here are some other fave things that I haven’t talked about yet!

Otium Bluetooth Headphones
How are these darn earbuds so good for $20?! If you feel like your wireless earbuds are always juuuust about to fall out, these are definitely worth a try. The sound quality is surprisingly good for the price point, the controls aren’t too fiddly, and I’m not constantly having to charge them. Even though I have a more expensive pair I could use, these are the ones I reach for!
Luna Weighted Blanket
Once Pudge joined the family, I tried to give up my weighted blanket (due to the impracticality of washing it), and I simply COULD NOT. I am just that person now. Forget the air fryer and the instapot, I will be preaching solely on the weighted blanket till the day I die, apparently. 😂
So I did a little research and found the washable Luna weighted blanket.
Now, I have not yet washed the blanket itself (only the duvet, and that’s been fine), but I am comforted to know that that option is there. It has been lovely as a weighted blanket, and, when paired with the duvet, it feels like a real comforter, rather than a throw that kind of fits my bed—so that’s new and fun for me! 😂
It’s also Pudge approved!
Uproot Cleaner Mini
Speaking of Pudge, this little guy has come in clutch for getting fur off the sections of the couch that she prefers to lounge on. My only regret is not getting the bigger one! (And the small one is not currently available, so you can learn from my mistake! haha)
“Mystical Pink Ombre” 🔮 curtain lights
These lights were a total impulse buy from Target in May, and I love them so much. They give off a surprising amount of light, which is very much appreciated in our dim house, and now, my bedroom has a pink and purple glow—what could be better??
Inspired Voices Bracelet
Speaking of impulse buys from Target, this Brave bracelet… I got it in early April and still wear it every day. (It gives me such joy when an impulse buy becomes a favorite, ha!) I love the small brassy lettering against the hematite beads, and the message is a nice reminder for those moments (aka most of life LOL) when I do not, in fact, feel brave. Unfortunately, it’s showing as sold out, but I’m pretty sure there are similar offerings in the Inspired Voices line.
Taken on especially brave day! 💖
Five and Two Hoops
Ugh, speaking of sold-out things, it looks like the exact pair of earrings I’ve been wearing nonstop (cute little gold hoops with removable stars) are not currently available—though this pair is the same concept, just blingier! I don’t like to sleep in hoops, so I will actually take them out at the end of the day and put them back in the next day. I realize that is normal earring-wearing behavior, but it’s HUGE for me because earrings are just not an accessory I think to change up. I usually live in one pair of studs for months on end!
You can see them in this photo, as well as the earbuds one, and probably any pics I’ve posted since June! They’re truly my 2022 ride-or-die!
Clearstem skincare
Almost 30 (and *cough* their discount code!) influenced me to try Clearstem, and I’m still using it. I’ve gone through multiple bottles of their Cellrenew serum and Hydraglow moisturizer, and, thanks to a holiday coupon, am now trying their Bounceback serum. (Unfortunately, you can blow their stuff pretty quick, and it is not cheap.) I’ve never loved my skin, mainly because of redness and uneven tone, but I’m liking it quite a bit more these days! Which is great because I can’t be arsed to wear makeup anymore. 😂
I actually took this picture after doing my skincare routine in March (so, about a month after I started using Clearstem) because I was shocked by how good my skin looked! HEY, LISTEN! Who is this glowing model?! 😂
Harper Wilde bras
These bras, particularly the Lounge Triangle and Lounge Scoop, are sooo comfy, while also being supportive and not annoying… aka perfect? haha They’re pretty much the only bras I want to wear at this point. Also excellent—each order comes with a mailer so you can recycle your old bras. That’s actually how I initially found the company, so it’s been a win-win!
Old Navy Sunday Sleep pajama pants
These pants are so good—they’re lightweight (great for sleeping under the aforementioned weighted blanket LOL), and they feel like a dream. Plus, they’re Old Navy, so you know the price isn’t outrageous. I was actually introduced to the Sunday Sleep line when I got a pair of their shorts from the clearance rack for like $3. Once those quickly became a fave, I went back for more!
What are your favorite finds of 2022? Did you buy anything you now can’t live without?
Happy Friday! xoxo ✨
