Cost Per Wear Tracker
Since February 2024 I've been tracking my clothes each day. It's made a huge transformation in how I buy and how I dress.
I make no money off this sale, FYI, just a big fan of this tool and the creator on Tik Tok (@beccabren).

Jo Club
Journaling is one of my favorite things, but it can be a solitary act most days. Jo Club changes that - we meet on Zoom to journal and discuss themed prompts. It’s a global group and I’ve gotten so much out of it. I even went to Greece with them in 2024!
*this is my referral link, FYI

Classpass
I’m the person who needs a workout class to hold me accountable, but classes around town are so expensive! This has been a great way to sample classes around town and recur at the same studios too.
*this is a referral link so I get some $ off and you do too!

28 Days of Black History
An informative daily newsletter for the month of February, but their archives are available year-round. Each day focuses on a (likely) lesser-known figure in Black history.

Papier Dotted Notebooks
I’ve always been a Moleskine or Leuchtturm kind of journaler, but with our Jo Club trip I was introduced to the dotted notebooks from Papier. I’ve never been one for lined pages in a notebook because I like to make connections and “mind map” as I like to call it, so this is perfect. Luxurious, too.
-
Daily Planner Notepad
I promise I love more things than just stationary, but this really has been helpful for me to map out my day at work and plan priorities. It’s pink with bows, too!
I’ve got many other things from Lilly, but this notepad is my favorite for sure.
Favorite Things Party? Sign me up.
One of my favorite yearly traditions with my friends is to host a favorite things party at my place. The basic premise is that we bring three of the same item (we use $10/item as the limit). We use a randomizer online to choose the order we choose each “round” and then we pick one item from the pile when it is our turn. At the end, we leave the party with three different things!
I’ve compiled links to the items we’ve brought below for inspiration -
-
