This is a roundup of all my favorite things during 2020! I have heard some mixed reviews on readers wanting to hear about “2020 Favorites” from bloggers. But I think it is a great opportunity to share with others what got you through quarantine and difficult times, and I know many places around the country and world are still facing strict locks downs. By no means am I saying you should purchase all these items – all I am saying is are these are some of the things that personally got me through 2020!
1.SMEG COFFEE! Enough said. Since I was no longer going into work, that means I wasn’t going out to coffee shops for my mid-afternoon pick me up. At the very beginning of quarantine, I picked up this gorgeous white coffee maker at William Sonoma.
2.Espresso Machine-My husband gifted me this espresso machine to match my coffee maker. I’ve only been using this for a few days, but oh my gosh, I am in LOVE! I now really have the coffee shop feel, but at home, 😊 I’ve made cappuccinos and espresso shots, and it definitely makes coffee more fun at home.
3.Barefoot Dreams Blanket – I have spoken about this blanket 903257 times, and it’s on sale right now for 25%! If you’ve ever been interested in purchasing one of these blankets, I highly recommend you get it now while its on sale (reg $180 and on sale for $134.90)
4.Candles – Keeping my house smelling yummy and cozy feeling with candles. I love these wood wick-burning candles because they make a crackling sound like a burning fire. Cinnamon Chai is one of my favorite scents because it goes with every season.
5.Phone Stand– This phone stand has come in handy so much! I keep in on my desk while working so I’m not hunched over. It also worked well with zoom calls and meetings, so if I didn’t want to use my computer, I could use my phone and not have to hold it.
6.Vitamin C Serum– It was really nice to focus on my skin during quarantine and give myself a break from makeup 🙂 This is my absolute favorite vitamin c serum.
7.Apple Watch– Back in April, I picked up the series 5 apple watch because I wanted to stay fit + I was doing at home barre workouts, and I wanted to know how many calories I was burning. I really like the apple watch because it keeps you accountable and on track to get up and move throughout the day.
8.Blush Pink Pan Set – My hubby bought me these new pans back in May, and oh my gosh, were they life-changing! Number 1, they are stunning blush pink and gold – can you say dreamy! Number 2 and most important are green pans, so they do not emit harmful fumes and toxins in the air and into your food. I cook a lot, and during quarantine, I cooked even more, so these were VERY useful (side not if you do end up purchasing, I recommend hand washing if possible to maintain the gorgeous brushed gold handles)
9.Briogeo– this hair mask is amazingly nourishing. During quarantine, I used this deep conditioning mask once per week!
10.Desk – I bet you can all guess why this is one of my favorites? Because I now work from home all time. I really dint want to spend a ton of money on a desk – so I opted for this cute white and gold one on Wayfair.
11.Slippers – I currently live-in slippers! I have quite a few pairs, but these have become one of my favorites. 😊
12.Robe – This is not just any robe. This is a barefoot dreams robe! I picked this up back in September, and I have been living in it ever since 😊
I hope you guys enjoyed today’s blog post 😊 I would love to hear some of the things that got you through the 2020 quarantine. Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year
