In the spirit of switching things up to kick off 2026, I passed up my usual black attire for exercising and instead went for neutral tones. Case in point: New Balance\u2019s cotton T-shirt<\/a> in a shade of Linen.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a gorgeous breathable fabric, easily washed and goes with\u00a0pretty much anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do you have a least\u00a0favorite\u00a0month? If, like me,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0January then\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0understand my urgency in creating a cozy home to get through it. Enter: Cozy Earth\u2019s bamboo bedding<\/a>. I opted for the classic stripe in Ebony.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0usually a crisp white bedding\u00a0kinda\u00a0girlie, but I needed to switch it up. As Edith Piaf once sang: Non, je ne\u00a0regrette\u00a0rien. My January was spent bed rotting in the most luxurious silky-feeling sheets. Can I get an amen?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just like my affinity for crisp white bedding, I usually always pick white sneakers over a black\u00a0colorway. But,\u00a0ya\u00a0know,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0embracing the\u00a0clich\u00e9\u00a0of \u2018new year, new me\u2019 vibe by kicking around in a pair of Salomon x Aries\u2019s XT Whisper<\/a>. With\u00a0only a\u00a0touch of brown and orange,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0found they work with most of my wardrobe and I think\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0got their Gen Z fanbase to thank for that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dry January\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0a thing in our household, where\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0become a little obsessed with lemon drop martinis: vodka, Cointreau, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and ice. We already had the cocktail kit, but we were missing cute glasses until I found these. I love the delicate ribbed detailing and gold rim, and they always get compliments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m\u00a0really into ruffles right now (much to my partner\u2019s chagrin), and this is the latest bedding set to land in our bedroom. I love the white trim, but it was the seafoam green \u2014 a shade I think should\u2019ve beaten Pantone\u2019s Cloud Dancer \u2014 that really won me over. It makes the room feel calm and serene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A recent trip to Paris reminded me just how awful my current suitcase is. I ended up with a sore arm after hauling it over cobblestone streets to and from Charles de Gaulle. A makeup artist friend swears by\u00a0B\u00e9is\u00a0for her heavy kit<\/a>, so this roller suitcase is officially on my list. The reviews speak for themselves, praising its sturdiness, smart compartments, and durability.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0sold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0love a blind box? Kodak\u2019s\u00a0Charmera\u00a0is a keychain blind box<\/a> with several retro camera designs.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a\u00a0real\u00a0mini\u00a0digital camera\u00a0and\u00a0works\u00a0perfectly\u00a0with a\u00a0micro SD\u00a0card. As a \u201890s kid, it\u00a0brings back a wave of nostalgia of\u00a0taking low-res digital pics.\u00a0I opened the fun\u00a0gray\u00a0design\u00a0but\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0kind of excited\u00a0to collect\u00a0more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My fascination\u00a0with Japanese stationery is\u00a0still thriving\u00a0and at the top of my list is this Toyo\u00a0Tool Box<\/a>.\u00a0It’s\u00a0perfect for storing and organizing\u00a0all my\u00a0pens and\u00a0supplies and looks so clean and aesthetic next to my desk or stored on a shelf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This cookbook\u00a0by chef\u00a0Seema Pankhania<\/a>\u00a0was recommended to me by a close friend recently and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0quickly become one of my\u00a0favorites. As someone who is always looking for\u00a0exciting\u00a0new dinner ideas (I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0stand routine when it comes to\u00a0food), this book has given me so much inspiration.\u00a0The\u00a0cookbook is<\/a> divided into sections\u00a0including,\u00a0all I want\u00a0is something…\u00a0fresh,\u00a0all I want\u00a0is something… spicy, so you can\u00a0easily\u00a0find the recipe to satisfy your cravings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As someone who lives in\u00a0a\u00a0different country from\u00a0most of\u00a0my family and friends,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0always hoped\u00a0to create a nice space for them to stay when they come to visit me. The guest room is the last room in our apartment that\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0had a makeover since we moved in over two years ago,\u00a0so\u00a0I decided 2026 was the year I was going to make it happen.\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0decided on a pale blue and brown\u00a0color\u00a0scheme, and when\u00a0I found this brown and striped duvet\u00a0cover on Zara, I\u00a0instantly knew\u00a0that it was the look I wanted to go for.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The primary reason\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0dashed to my iPhone\u00a0after work\u00a0to\u00a0place\u00a0my\u00a0UberEats\u00a0order is, simply, because of time. As a full-time editor and author, often the last thing I want to do after a long day (or that I have time to do in my post-work schedule) is prepare myself a delicious and nourishing meal. So, like a growing number of people around the country,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0meal-prepping. Currently,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0using Williams Sonoma\u2019s Hold Everything Glass Food Storage Containers<\/a>, a 14-piece set with both rectangular and round containers that easily store full meals as well as core ingredients for salads, pastas, rice bowls, and more. As I work to minimize my use of plastic, I appreciate that\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0made of glass, feature silicone gaskets to keep them airtight, and are refrigerator-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My main goal for 2026 is to save money, and that means I\u00a0must\u00a0significantly cut down on where my variable expenses have been going: eating out. That said,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0doing everything I can to make cooking at home as seamless as possible. And\u00a0as\u00a0a single girl who lives alone, that means using cookware that\u2019s less daunting, pots and pans that are perfect for smaller meals and have easier cleanup. Right now,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0loving Our Place\u2019s\u00a0Mini Cookware Duo<\/a>, which includes a mini Always Pan and\u00a0mini Perfect\u00a0Pot. This multifunctional, non-stick ceramic, and\u00a0truly beautiful\u00a0(mine is in the off-white\u00a0color\u00a0Steam) cookware has allowed me to make just the right amount of food for the week and easily reheat leftovers when I need to.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also saving me time in the kitchen is the Ninja Crispi\u00ae Pro 6-in-1 Countertop Glass Air Fryer<\/a>. It roasts, reheats, crisps, and even bakes faster and easier than a stove\u00a0or\u00a0oven.\u00a0With\u00a0two containers, one sized at 2.5 quarts and another at 6 quarts, I can easily swap between them depending on whether\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0cooking for one or hosting family and friends. This\u00a0model\u00a0saves me even more time because it cooks and bakes in a glass bowl that comes with an airtight lid, making storage and reheating as simple as moving it in and out of the refrigerator. But my absolute\u00a0favorite\u00a0part is how easy the non-toxic glass is to clean. I can simply remove the bowl and wash it in the sink, no need to scrub\u00a0to\u00a0remove grease from trapped crevices or coatings. That also helps\u00a0to keep the appliance looking polished on my countertop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m\u00a0fully in my cozy era, and this under-$20 Target boyfriend pillow<\/a> has absolutely\u00a0leveled\u00a0up my\u00a0at-home nesting game. Every\u00a0day\u00a0since I bought it,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0looked forward to curling up in the plush arms with\u00a0a good book\u00a0and cup of tea\u00a0before bed.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0become the most relaxing ritual, and the cream sherpa fabric is so soft and\u00a0comfy. (I\u2019m\u00a0thinking of getting a second since\u00a0my husband keeps stealing mine!)\u00a0<\/p>\n

After decades of living with mismatched plates, I finally treated myself to\u00a0The Core Set by\u00a0Year & Day<\/a>. This 16-piece set has everything I need, and nothing I\u00a0don\u2019t: Two sizes of bowls and two sizes of flat plates, all in smooth, sturdy ceramic. (I opted for the Fog\u00a0colorway, a gorgeous warm\u00a0gray.) Plus,\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0dishwasher-safe and\u00a0feel like a definite upgrade from my inexpensive IKEA ones that\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0owned since college.\u00a0<\/p>\n
