Welcome to What I’m Loving Lately—a roundup of products, clothes, art, inspiration, brands, etc. that I’ve been loving lately (and thought you might, too!). I always love reading these kinds of posts from other creators and thought I’d try my hand at it. Of course, these things don’t bring happiness in and of themselves, but they do spark a little delight and can make mundane life a little livelier. 

You’ll have to leave a comment and let me know if any of these connected with you and/or what you’ve been loving lately! xo

001. Magic Mind Mental Performance Shots

I’m shocked I’ve never shared about this before… I’ve been taking Magic Mind shots almost every day for over a year and can’t say enough good things. This clean, superfood energy shot (with only 55 mg of caffeine) helps cut through my brain fog almost immediately and throttles me into a heightened state of focus and productivity. I’ll take one either in the morning with my coffee or in the afternoon when I really need to jam on work projects but am feeling sluggish. There are so many brain-healthy ingredients in here that help relieve stress, brain fog, and enhance performance: lion’s mane, ashwagandha, rhodiola, L-Theanine, B Vitamins, and more. But don’t worry—it tastes like pineapple. No funkiness (or brain fog!) at all. 

P.S. Friend to friend, if you use this link you can save $40 on your first order. No sales pitch here, just want to save you some $$ if you decide to try it out. 🙂

002. Taylor Dukes Wellness Organic Superfood Creamer

In the same vein, I am in a romantic relationship with these creamer sticks, ha. I recently had to go a couple days without them (I forgot to restock) and realized how essential these really are in my daily routine. These also have so many good ingredients in them (similar to Magic Mind) that help calm the brain and nervous system—ashwagandha, lion’s mane, MCT powder, and more. I’ve found these sticks really help my body digest caffeine and make my morning cup of jo smoother + frothier. I mix up the powder with a hand frother and voi-la! Coffee = instantly elevated. 

003. Michael Todd Beauty Sonicsmooth Dermaplaning Tool

Meet your next beauty game changer. This electric tool helps remove the top layer of dead skin and hair off your face and neck. I’m never not amazed at 1) how much it gets off of my face, and 2) how good my skin feels after using it. Skincare and makeup glide on and soak in deeper after getting that top layer of dead skin off. 10/10 recommend. It’s a very reasonably priced at-home, spa-like luxury item that you can use again and again with the pack of removable tips.   

004. These cheetah pants from Gap

I visited my parents a couple weeks ago, so naturally my mom and I had to go shopping. A friend suggested we go try on a trench coat at Gap, and 90 minutes later we walked out with much more than a trench coat, ha! These cheetah pants were one of my favorite purchases. They are just SO fun! Personality pants for sure. And cheetah is a neutral, so they go with everything… right? 🙂 

P.S. Gap had other great-fitting jeans going for just $39—don’t sleep on them! Gap really is making a comeback. 

005. Pilot 0.38mm pens

Maybe it’s a writer thing… or a female thing… but I get wayyyy too excited over finding a new pen I love. This one is a much thinner weight than I’m used to writing with, but it’s been such a fun change-up. Isn’t it so true that your handwriting slightly changes based on what pen you’re using?? I’ve been really into my 0.38mm-pen-handwriting. If you need a little pick-me-up that’s not more than a few pennies, this is it! 

Which one of these interested you the most? What are you loving lately? I can’t wait to hear in the comments!
