My Favorite Things
Welcome! On this page, you will find all my best recommendations to help you live a more inspiring life. I often get asked for recommendations that are making my life feel simpler, lighter, more enjoyable or productive (especially book recommendations, as I read over 75 new books every year). This is where you can find a list of all my favorite things. Note: there’s more to come!
Please note these are affiliate links – however they incur no additional cost to you and I would never recommend anything that I don’t genuinely love.
