Every so often I like to share the some of the little things making everyday life a little better.

Nothing too complicated, just the products, habits, and one very good book or two that I keep coming back to right now.

Here are seven I am reaching for.

1. Amazon Sunglasses With Built-In Readers

The find of the summer, and I have a friend to thank for it. She was wearing these and I assumed they cost a fortune, until she sent me the link and it turned out they’re from Amazon. A pack of three is $19.99. The clever part: there’s a reader built into the bottom half of the lens, so you can actually see your phone or read a menu in the sun without swapping glasses. If you’re over a certain age, you know exactly why that matters. Find them here!

2. Cann THC Drinks

My favorite way to unwind without a cocktail. These are light, low-dose social tonics, just a little something to take the edge off the evening, and they come in a fraction of the calories of a glass of wine. If you have been curious about a lower-alcohol summer, this is an easy place to start. The best part for me is zero sleep interruption and no hangover! Shop them here.

3. The L’ange Super Light Halo Ring Hair Dryer

Genuinely easier on my arms. This dryer is a fraction of the weight of my old one, which makes a real difference when you’re holding it up every morning, and it still gets the job done fast. A small upgrade that I notice every single day. Shop it here.

4. CoCo Lab Dental Floss

Proof that upgrading a boring everyday basic is worth it. I switched to this floss recently and it is one of those tiny swaps that makes a daily ritual feel a little nicer. It’s so much more gentle on my gums and I swear my teeth never felt cleaner. Not glamorous, just good. Find it here.

5. What I’m Reading

Two that had me staying up too late. The first is Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, a Good Morning America Book Club pick that has been everywhere for good reason. The second is The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett, the author of The Help, which is reason enough to pick it up. Highly recommend listening to the second one on Audible, the southern accents are half the charm.

6. Gap Pajama Bottoms

These are back, and I’m restocking. The new ones remind me so much of the pairs I used to buy on repeat, and it is really just the bottoms I want. The best sign they’re good: my girls keep stealing mine, so I’m buying extras this time. If you have been hunting for that perfect soft pajama/lounge pant, this is it. Shop them here.

7. Epic Light Cosmetics Lip Gloss

A few weeks ago I went to an event in Greenwich for Epic Light Cosmetics, and their lip gloss has been in my bag ever since. It’s their hero product, and now I understand why. I’m loving shade Champagne Fizz, but you really can’t go wrong. It’s super hydrating, has a great applicator and it’s not sticky. Find it here.

So, there it is, the seven things making my days a bit better lately. Would love to know what’s on your list right now, LMK in the comments.
