My favorite things of 2024
Jean Ahn
It’s hard to believe 2024 is over and its now 2025! This past year has brought lots of changes, we welcomed our daughter in July and since then life has been extremely busy! I wanted to share some of my favorite things this year, many of these were super helpful during pregnancy and postpartum as well! And some items have made my list multiple times!
Without further adieu here is my 2024 list of favorite items.
Stanley cup: I know everyone has these and they are everywhere but I do think they live up to the hype. The handle makes it super easy to carry around and reach for and the bottom of the cup fits in all cup holders which is key! My water stays cold and keeps hot bevs warm! I love all the fun colors and designs! I recently got this purple one with the iridescent logo!
Kitsch satin pillow case: I know I am late to the game but I recently got this satin pillow case and its been such a game changer for my skin and hair! I love that this one has a hidden zipper and even after multiple washes it remains silky smooth! These pillowcases also make great gifts!
Hot Mess Ice roller: I have posted about this ice roller a few times but it truly is the best! Keeps the cold for a long time and does wonders for preventing any puffiness. I also got this pink Sleeping bag to keep the roller fresh and clean.
Kindle: I purchased this during one of the Prime Day sales and I am so glad I did. It has been a game changer in helping me read more often and its so nice to have all your books in once place. I connected my Kindle to the Libby app so I can borrow books for free and have them sent straight to my Kindle!
Barefoot Dreams Blankets: I have posted about these blankets numerous times but they truly are the best blankets! It keeps your body at the perfect temperature and they are so soft and cuddly. I have 4 of them and use them daily! Hannah loves her baby Barefoot Dreams blanket too!
Vince Camuto Cristen Knee high Boots: These were one of my favorite purchases from the Nsale this year and they are so chic and comfy too! Currently they are 50% off and come in a few other colors. I got these in a chocolate brown suede!
Hatch Alarm clock: Started using this alarm clock instead of my phone and its helped me to wake up easier thanks to the sunrise alarm (the light mimics a sunrise) and it connects seamlessly via bluetooth and you can customize sounds for your alarm. We also got this for baby as well and use it as a white noise machine!
Necessaire body wash: After trying so many different body washes, I like Necessaire the best because its a ‘fast-absorbing multi-vitamin replenishing treatment for the skin with Niacinamide, Peptides, Vitamins and Omegas to moisturize the skin.’
Soft Pjs: Love these soft pjs, they are so cozy and perfect for all seasons. The material is great for sleeping and does not make me too hot or too cold at night. It also comes in several other color options.
Slip Silk Scrunchies: I use these all the time and have a bunch of these scrunchies around. The silk prevents hair breakage vs regular elastic hair bands and keeps hair soft too. I also wear these at night along with a silk pillow case and its the best combo!
Beis makeup bag: I was looking for a new makeup bag for the longest time and found this one from Beis. The size is perfect and fits all my makeup nicely. I also love that it comes with a mirror too! This one also comes in black!
On Cloud 5 sneakers: These sneakers feel like I am walking on clouds! They are so comfy and perfect for working out and have great arch support too. I also love that you can slip in and out of these easily which was a life saver especially when I was pregnant!
Shun Knife set: You know you’re an adult when you love house things! Lol! We always wanted a set of high quality knives and we recieved this set as a wedding gift. The knives are razor sharp and make chopping a breeze. I also try to get these sharpened every few months to maintain the quality of these.
Portable steamer: I was looking for a steamer for travel and this one is amazing! It folds which makes it great to pack in your suitcase but it also steams very well! I also like to use this for every day too since its small and portable. I got this in the white and gold but it also comes in blue and white.
