One of my most anticipated days of the year was when I would curl up on the couch with a notebook and turn on the Oprah Winfrey show to watch one of her most beloved segments: Oprah’s Favorite Things. Oh, how I loved to learn about her new and incredible finds to better her daily living….and mine.
I’m often asked for recommendations: favorite books and notebooks, trusted organizations and resources, tried-and-true tech tools and more. So, here are all my favorite things together, especially those where I can pass along a discount or free trial for you to make my favorites things your favorite things, too.
Here they are, in no particular order:
I believe in life-long learning and fill my days with reading, writing and exploring to truly experience the world and end each day a bit more fulfilled than the last. I read widely, write daily and dive deep into experiences like exploring clean eating, making hot chocolate bombs with my daughter, crafting my own notebooks ad even learning brush lettering. These small acts of learning (and self-care!) are what nourish and sustain me. And Skillshare makes this kind of creative learning incredibly easy to fit into my busy schedule. I can follow my whimsey and learn from leading experts at the click of a mouse, whenever and wherever it works for me. And you can, too! Join with my affiliate link and get 2 weeks for free!

I am a stationary store junkie. I could spend HOURS browsing notebooks, journals, cards, pencils and pens, stamps, washi tape and more. But I really love when those items have meaning behind them and that’s exactly why I love Holstee. Holstee offers inspiration and tools to help you live a more meaningful life through their journal membership, reflection cards and even a journaling app!
Ready to get personal? I have an auto-immune disorder that prompted me to clean up my life, my diet and the products I bring into my home. One of the first shifts I made was to Primally Pure, a clean and non-toxic line of skin care. Oh, how I wish I did this sooner. After just a short time using it, my skin is clearer, brighter and more moisturized. It’s like giving myself a mini-spa treatment every morning and night and the soothing fragrance is exactly what I need to start and end my day right.

A while back, I became obsessed with hand lettering. I’ve always loved writing in my notebook, doodling on scrap paper and writing hand-written notes. So when I saw this was actually a thing, I dove in. I bought all the pens, the notebooks, the tracing paper, the tutorials and more. And I fell in love with Tombow markers. The colors, the feel, the glide, the effect. They are the only markers I use to collect quotes, lift lines from the books I’m reading and start the day by writing a positive affirmation. If you haven’t found the marker perfect for you yet, then try Tombow. They even have FREE worksheets and workshops to get started!
I’m often asked what platform I host my online classes on because they are streamlined, organized and intuitive to use. My response? Kajabi. The all-in-one course creation software that makes it easy for me to do what I love most: design learning experiences for teachers and fellow lifelong learners.
