A peek at everything I loved in October 2025!
FOOD
Alexandra Cooks sourdough bread recipe. This is the recipe I use for my sourdough and it’s just SO simple, easy and foolproof! I can’t recommend it enough.
Raw Manuka Honey Snaps. I love that these come in single servings. So easy to transport and I use them on sourdough too.
Kodiak Flapjack Puffs. My kids have protein pancakes most mornings before school – we recently tried these puff version and they love them! Especially Jordan. They are very fun for dipping.
HOME
Halloween espresso cups. I bought the espresso cups by accident (thought they were full mugs) but I LOVE them! They are so cute and I’ve had them displayed by my espresso machine. The bistro pattern is just so adorable and timeless.
Mystic Icon juice glasses. On that same note, I also love the icon juice glasses. I’ve had mine for years and the kids love drinking out of them during the seasons. They are also so substantial and everyone else loves them too. Love that they are decor too.
Emily Lex christmas checklist. I am obsessed with the entire christmas line (the recipe cards!! the watercolors!) but the checklist is what I bought. I can’t even explain how cute it is! I absolutely love it.
Stanley Flip Straw. I have been fully converted to the flip straw tumblers. I still prefer a 40 ounce one but with the flip straw there is NO leaking and it’s just so easy to transport! I also really like the hydrojugs too. I’m feeling very 2022 with this favorite, but I’ve actually got rid of all my cups with the straws!
BEAUTY
Anua Moisture Milk. This feels like actual SILK on my face. It’s not heavy enough for my night time moisturizer but it’s incredible during the day. Great under makeup too!
Nivea Essentially Enriched Lotion. Using this post shower is incredible – it’s so rich and truly leaves your skin feeling so hydrated. And it has a pump. I love that it’s not fragranced either. It just works.
Loreal True Match Lumi Glotion. This was a tiktok find for me and I just want to know how it took me so long to try it. I love mixing this with a tinted moisturizer or drop of foundation – the coverage is amazing. It’s still glowy and light but leaves the most gorgeous sheen on the skin.
The Maker Dream perfume. I’ve had the travel size of this perfume for over a year and just bought the full size. It’s my perfect kind of scent – very warm and even slightly masculine. Definitely lasts too!
FASHION
Nike Vomero running shoes. I’ve had a pair of these for two months now and they are SO comfortable. They are like Nike’s version of Hokas with super serious cushioning. They have so much support and are great for walking.
Soft V Neck Long Sleeve. I have this in black and brown and I love it because it’s like a bodysuit without the bodysuit! It gives the exact same look and style but without the bodysuit bottom. SO much more comfortable. Also very warm and great for layering right now.
Varley Hawley Half Zip. I adore Varley – the quality is incredible. I have this in cocoa bean and it’s my current favorite piece of clothing. So soft.
MEDIA
The Life of a Showgirl. Is this even a question?! We’ve listened to nothing else! I love every single song so much.
Buckeye. I can’t even explain how much I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down – I loved all the characters so much.
Task on HBO. This show is unreal. So so so good. If you haven’t watched, do it!
KIDS
Wicked Witches Sticker Dress Up Book. Emilia has the Taylor Swift version of this and loves it. I just got this one this week and it is SO cute. I am going to give it to her for her birthday. She also loves to do these during hockey or when we’re in the car for an extended period of time.
Primary Flexlite Tee. I can’t even explain how much Jordan loves these. They are so soft, I bought them in every color for him. He even asks to sleep in them!
Lego Travel Moments. Max got this for Christmas last year and he and Emilia put it together this past weekend. They have had SO much fun with it! He wants to display it in the kitchen so it’s currently sitting on the island… haha.
