This time of year means holiday shopping and preparing for Winter. While you’re busy thinking about everyone and everything else, it’s important to take some time to focus on yourself too. Take some time to recognize what you need. To get you thinking about self-care during this season, I’m sharing a round-up of what I’m loving right now! Hopefully this inspires you to pick up a little something for yourself or gives you a unique gift idea.
Winter Is Coming
Sunrise Simulation Alarm Clock
Okay, this is easily my favorite thing right now! I was having such a difficult time waking up because it’s so dark outside. This alarm clock has made it SO much easier to wake up in the mornings. It mimics a sunrise and starts about 30 minutes before you have to wake up. The light gradually gets brighter until it’s time to get up. I find that I don’t even need the full 30 minutes. Every day, I’m waking up naturally before my alarm goes off. If you struggle with waking up on those dark mornings, I highly recommend this!
Slippers
It’s slippers! Need I say more? We could all use more slippers in our lives. We have hardwood floors throughout the house so I need slippers with a firm sole so my feet don’t hurt walking around. These are simply lovely.
Headbands
Keep your ears covered this winter! If my ears are exposed outside, it’s like I can feel a cold coming on! I love winter hats but sometimes it’s fun to just rock a cute headband like this instead.
Gloves
I need soft gloves in the winter! When I’m photographing outdoor sessions, my hands will literally freeze in position of holding the camera. These gloves save my life!
Making Home Life & Travel Easier
Clear Toiletry Bag TSA Approved Travel Carry On
These are amazing! They are TSA approved but I swear they fit so many more toiletry items than normal. These are great if you try to shove everything into a carry-on and not check a bag.
AquaBliss High Output Revitalizing Shower Filter
In the Winter, my skin gets so dry. This shower filter is a game changer! Your water from your shower is usually hard water and can cause so many issues. This filter helps my skin and hair not get as dry year round. Obsessed with this!
WiFi Smart Plugs Outlet
If you want to set timers for your lights in your home or you want to control your lights from your smartphone, these plugs are perfect. We set the lights in our bedroom to turn on everyday at sunset because it gets dark so early.
36 GridsOrganizer Storage Container for Letter Boards
Y’all know I love a letter board! But those tiny letters and numbers get everywhere. They storage container keeps them nice and organized.
Photographer Favorites
Stock up on CF cards
This time of the year, I like to stock up on new CF and SD cards. It’s so important to keep updating your cards so they don’t malfunction on you. You can save your older ones for backups.
Fujifilm Instax Mini Instant Film
I have a Fujifilm Instax Camera and a Instax Printer and can always use more film. I like to buy my film in packs so I always have some ready to go.
Phone Portable Tripod
We love this phone tripod! It can hook onto anything so you can take steady photos no matter where you are.
Neewer Ring Light Kit for Phone
In the world of IGTV and Facebook Lives, we need to make sure our videos look great even if they are coming from our phones. Simple lighting kits like this can help make your videos look professional, straight from your phone. Even if you aren’t a photographer, trust me, you need good lighting for your videos!
Perfect Gifts
IYOU Sport Soft Silicone Apple Watch Band
Matt got me an Apple Watch for my birthday! He also picked out the perfect band for me, this one! I love neutral colors but you can get this style in any color you’d like. Super soft and durable!
A Year of Positive Thinking: Daily Inspiration, Wisdom, and Courage
I purchased this book at the beginning of 2019 and I’ve loved it’s positive prompts each day. If you are looking to be more positive in 2020, I suggest picking up this one!
Capri Blue Candle: Blue Jean scent
Literally my FAVORITE CANDLE EVER! I LOVE this scent. Smells so good! Everyone needs this candle in their lives!
Magnolia Table Volume Two Book
I’m so sad this book isn’t out yet but the good news is that you can preorder it! Perfect gift for the Joanna Gaines lover in your life (which is basically everyone, right?!)
