2019 Favorites
Is it just me or did 2020 always sound like a futuristic year?! Ask me ten years ago and I legit thought cars would fly and robots would serve us food - well maybe not, but you get the idea.
I spent the last few days brainstorming my favorite things from 2019 that I used throughout the year & I know you guys will love them all!
There is no real rhyme or reason, they are just things that improved my health, made life more fun or brought me joy throughout the year!
Timberlands
These are very basic, but I have LOVED my pink Tim’s both in MN and SC! I know they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I will say they are great for all types of climates. They are warm enough for the South and durable enough for the icy North! Plus they are weather-proof basically!
Gymshark Leggings
I got my first pair of Seamless Gymshark leggings this year and holy tamole. They are worth every. penny. Which doesn’t happen to be all that many pennies by the way!! I think everybody needs a pair of these, especially in the camo because they suck you in and hide any sweat/lumps & bumps. SO cute.
Jabra Headphones
I know AirPods are everything these days, but if you are an off-brand kinda person, I think these are definitely worth checking out! The only downfall is that it isn’t super easy to change the song like it is with AirPods, but I will say that they are great for working out & don’t shift in place!
I find these great for running outdoors!
White Boots
These are beautiful AND comfy. I die. I wore them for 4 hours the first time I broke them in & there was no pain at all!
Bode Hotel in Nashville
This was my favorite place we stayed all year! You can read more about our incredible weekend here, but to sum it up: a hipster hotel made for friends.
Hoodeez
In December I worked with Foco for a partnership promoting their Hoodeez, which are oversized fleece hoodies. Peter and I tried them on and immediately fell in love. I kid you not, I had the best sleep in months when I slept in my Hoodeez. So fun & beyond comfy!
Iced Coffee
My new favorite order is iced coffee with soy milk and caramel. Holy cow. So good.
Everybody Always by Bob Goff
This is THE best book I have ever read. Bob Goff is an incredible author who speaks such profound words in the simplest ways. I was blown away by how much this book resonated with me and changed my perception of others & myself! It’s all about loving those around you, while subtle references to Jesus. I think everyone, regardless of religion should give it a try!
Podcasts
Peter considered me a podcast-addict at one point this year, and honestly I think it’s pretty accurate. I have sifted through so many podcasts to suit every mood under the sun, but these are my tried-and-true fav’s:
Views with David Dobrik - so funny & easy to listen to
What We Said - it’s like girl talk with your bestie
Armchair Expert with Dax Sheppard - I like falling asleep to this one at night
Full of Joy Podcast - this is really inspirational & has quick episodes!
Backpacks
There is something SO nice about having a bag on my back instead of a crossbody purse or small clutch. I get them from everywhere, but these two were from TJ Maxx & Target!
I hope maybe these inspired you for the new year to try some new stuff! Or maybe how to spend some holiday money burning a hole in your pocket ;)
