Hey everybody! Happy New Year! I hope 2022 is off to a great start for you! An illness went through our house that hit me around Christmas. Just as I was recovering, a terrible wind storm passed through Greensboro. It knocked down several trees in our neighborhood which caused power outages. We experienced a few cold days (and nights) without power. Thankfully, it was finally restored late Wednesday night. Having electricity feels so luxurious! I’m happy to report that my own personal energy is renewed and I am feeling well. I hope you are too!

The last couple of days I’ve been trying to catch up on all the things I’ve fallen behind on. It’s exciting to get back to blogging. I’ve missed you! Today, I’m going to share a few Amazon favorites of 2021 according to you. It feels good to know that you also like the things I like and that you trust my recommendations! Let’s take a look!
Cuisinart knife set – You’ve probably seen these in my kitchen. We use these knives every day. I especially love the look of the white handles.
4-piece dish brush set – I use this brush to scrub produce, but it could also be used on pots and pans. It sits by the sink at all times.
down alternative mattress cover – This mattress pad is quite lofty and feels like a luxurious hotel quality pad.
silicone cooking utensils – Another thing I reach for every day. I love that these stand up to heat. They also don’t stain from things like spaghetti sauce.
bamboo flatware set – I don’t personally own this set of flatware, but I think it’s lovely.
industrial wall sconce – We used these sconces in our new laundry room. I can’t say enough great things about them, especially at the price point.
blue & white kitchen towels – I love to use blue and white dish towels in our kitchen!
Graze – This book was given to me for Mother’s Day. Lots of great “small plate” ideas and inspiration.
bamboo Roman shades – As seen in our upstairs bedroom.
motion sensor ceiling light – As seen in my closet makeover.
spray bottles – I use these in the kitchen for counter spray and also in the laundry room for counter spray and spot treatment.
Everything Healthy Mediterranean Cookbook – This is my go-to cookbook for Mediterranean recipes like this yummy soup the best chicken souvlaki I’ve ever made.
make-up brushes – I’m admittedly no make-up expert. These brushes do what I need them to do, and have held up well for several years. They are under $12.
block print sarong – This sarong can be worn in lots of ways and comes in an array of pretty color/pattern options.
cerave am sunscreen moisturizer – This moisturizer provides breathable coverage. I wear it on days that I don’t wear make-up.
layered monogram necklace – These necklaces look great in person!
flower statement earrings – I’ll be honest. These earrings broke the first time I wore them. I hope you had better luck.
aquaphor body spray – A must for dry winter skin!
urban decay lipstick, backtalk – Literally the best lip color for everyday use!
microwavable kraft take-out boxes – Handy for picnics, travel, or work lunches.
Hill House living – I don’t have this book, but it definitely looks charming.
ukulele – This was on a Christmas gift guide. Our son has become quite the guitarist and has a collection of guitars. We gave him this ukulele for Christmas and he had a fun time with it.
travel pump bottles – Perfect for a weekend getaway. The product rises to the top as you use it and the bottles can be refilled.
travel toiletry bag – TSA approved! It’s nice to be able to see the contents.
espoma – A must for organic vegetable gardening.
skirt hangers – A great way to maximize storage space in a closet.
