Lucy Loves: 3 Products I’m Not Sure How I Ever Lived Without

Have you ever purchased something or been given a gift…and after only a short amount of time owning this thing, you’re not sure how you ever lived without it?

This doesn’t happen to me often, but when it does, it feels like I struck a jackpot! And because I value shopping and discovering new things, I like to think that I’m definitely “putting myself out there” when it comes to finding those “how did I live without this!?” goods.

I know, I know…maybe you’re wondering, even though those products may be awesome, can shopping itself really be meaningful?

I vote yes!

Here’s why…

Shopping serves as an invitation to…

Support small businesses (whose products are amazing)
Try new things, which keeps our minds, bodies, and souls feeling sharpened and refreshed
Share gifts with friends (or strangers) to create a bright spot in their day
…and so much more!

And of course, another reason I personally enjoy shopping is that it allows me to discover LIFE-CHANGING products, which I can then share with YOU 🤗

Now the thing is, combine my love for exploring new products with the industry I work in, and it’s safe to say that I am exposed to a lot of different goods. Everything from home decor items to textiles, to clothing, to crafting…the list truly goes on and on.

I share this to say, if I am sharing an item that has made the “not sure how I ever lived without it” list, you have my word that it’s really that good!

So let’s dive in. Below are three products/companies that I am not sure how I ever lived without, plus WHY I love what they offer and how it has enhanced my life.

Cosori Electric Kettle

I had no idea how much I would use a kettle! We make hot tea and iced tea ALL. THE. TIME!

Emma gave me this one for Christmas and I am obsessed with it. It boils water so quickly and I can make my favorite morning hot tea and brew tea for iced tea for the rest of the day.

Cloth & Paper

This is a really fun planner system that has a monthly curated box full of fun paper stuffs! Give me all the office supplies! My favorite thing is using the discbound planner because you can change the pages out; especially when you are setting it all up! I love the surprise of the monthly box and am obsessed with the penspiration box! Highly recommend adding that!

Hulken Bag

Instagram purchase anyone? I saw this on Instagram and didn’t have many feelings and then my friend, Tammy mentioned she ordered it and thought I would like it. Ordered. Love. I use this bag. ALL. THE. TIME!! I have the medium and large and probably use the medium the most. I use it when I’m doing a workshop away from my studio, styling my antique booth at The Brass Bear, and I will be taking it to market in Atlanta! It folds down, too, which is super nice!
