Things I'm loving right now
January and February favorites, routine updates and all things I'm LOVIN'
January and February have felt so slow and quick all at the same time. I’ve really been knee deep with wedding planning, so my apologies for a little bit of an absence in my usual cadence here. Just know that there is so much to share with you once all the details are final and the day is here!
Wedding prep favorites
I’ve really been taking my routines more seriously in 2025. I’m trying not to put too much bridal pressure on myself, but keeping up with things I’ve been wanting to focus on for a very long time, health wise. I have been using this red-light device every day for 10-20 minutes and I really think it is making a huge difference in my complexion. Along with that, I am loving this duo ice roller (also great for travel) and mouth tape! Ahh- I know.. the TikTok trend? I think it actually works. If you’re a chronic mouth-breather like myself, I think it’s definitely worth trying. Also, don’t be discouraged if you can’t last an entire sleep with it on, it took me probably 10-15 tries for me to not rip it off in the middle of the night. I’ve found this tape is better than the others that only cover a small portion of your mouth (those didn’t work for me).
I recently started seeing a new esthetician for my facials and she suggested a few things that I really love for my routine. This cleanser I got from her is amazing.. and she encouraged me to gently exfoliate more often. So I’m using my favorite goop mask once a week and these exfoliator pads from YSE (code: GABRIELLA-15) every night or most nights!
I have been pretty religious with FORM workouts. They are quick and effective. The only at-home workout I’ve ever done that I actually get a sweat in and feel sore after! Along with that, I started treadmill walks while watching RHONJ- I’m new to Housewives and just started it from the beginning in December and truly can’t believe it’s taken me that long to watch. This combo has felt really good for my mental health and I’m excited to start getting some in person classes into the routine. I tried out Pause Studio last week and I’m seriously considering a membership because of how great I felt after. The contrast therapy room was my favorite.
Daily little luxuries
These headphones are amazing and I know I’ve been raving about them all over my stories, but I wanted to make it official and write about them here. They are not noise cancelling, but they are great if you like to feel like you have nothing in your ears.. They also do not move or fall out easily!
I didn’t know I would love the medium Boat and Tote with long handles so much! It has become my every day tote for work.
These Dorsey earrings are very sweet.
This sports bra is all I reach for. Great if you need support with a capital S.
I’ve been upping my hair game, I have to say. And it all started with finally getting the Dyson Airwrap. For me, it is 10000x worth it. I have never found a tool or method that I’m remotely good at to give myself a proper blowout. I’m obsessed. If you could even call it a tutorial, I posted this here if you’re interested in my strategies. This ROZ product is awesome for getting volume without using making your hair crunchy. It’s perfect! I also have to mention how good the new, black Crown Affair hair towel is (code: GABRIELLA15). I prefer it to the white one because it stands a chance against my makeup when I’m wearing it and multi-tasking.
Personally, I love the Rhode lip contour a lot. I think it’s application is effortless and I enjoy that it’s not too heavy on my lips and buildable. Twist has my heart because it’s most similar to my all-time favorite liner- Iconic Nude. I’m thinking that this will be my wedding day combo for sure, with this gloss maybe? This blush is also in the running for the wedding day lineup.
This Basil candle is everything to me. Freshhhhh.
New Aerie sweats finds… these sweatpants are the perfect thickness and fit and I think this might be my new go-to workout sweatshirt. I ordered these to try.
I’m still very much so into my Garrett Leight sunnies (code: GABRIELLA15) and they just restocked. I’m eying these and these as well to bring some color to my sunnies collection.
These pajamas. These chukkahs. This sweater (code: GABRIELLAG10). This sweatshirt. All closet hyper-fixations at the moment!
My little nylon bag I got in Paris - this size is small but mighty and fits so much.
I was invited to preview Jenni Kayne Spring and it is gooood. I was so happy to see some color, specifically gorgeous hues of blue. I fell in love with a blue oxford last year, so I have been wanting to bring in more blue to my wardrobe. More on this as the Spring collections launch!
Foods I’m craving
Bachan’s sauce on veggies for a chicken stir fry, this peppermint tea, peanut butter protein balls (many recipes on the Tok) using this protein powder (clean ingredients and tastes like nothing), and carrot juice (specifically carrot, orange, lemon, mint, ginger). Homestate is a craving lately- I get the Guadalupe with an order of Lil Queso. Lastly, lettuce wrapped burgers (the Heavy Handed one is awesome)! and.. the Vanilla Bean Iced Latte at Community Goods.
Hope you enjoyed this list of current favs- I’ll talk to you very soon! Thank you for being here.
Hi! Obsessed with the new balance sneakers in your mirror pic with the sweats and nylon bag - would you mind sharing?
Hi! Could you relink the protein powder?
