💔✨ Tools We Love (and Actually Use)
Welcome to Tools We Love — a collection of little lifesavers that make modern life, love, and emotional survival just a bit easier. These aren’t random affiliate links I found at 2 a.m. after three cups of coffee. They’re the products I actually use, rely on, and occasionally confide in when no one else is available.
From journals that keep my thoughts semi-organized to collagen that keeps my face semi-hopeful, every item here has earned its spot by surviving my attention span, my skepticism, and my relentless tendency to overthink. Consider this part confession, part recommendation, and part reminder that sometimes the smallest rituals make the deepest difference.
So browse, laugh, click, and maybe discover something that helps you do better, be better — or at least smell better.

🌸 Find What Speaks to You
Not sure my pick’s your pick? No problem. Click any link, wander a bit, and check out the “Similar Items” section on Amazon. You might find the version that fits your vibe — the one that smells right, feels right, or just makes you feel good about you.
(And yes, if you end up finding your new favorite thing that way, I still get a tiny thank-you from Amazon — which goes straight toward coffee, creative chaos, and keeping this blog caffeinated.)
Uttermara Weighted Blanket — 15 lbs, Dark Grey, Sherpa Fleece

The 15-pound weight applies gentle, even pressure (think: warm, reassuring hug) to help your body unclench after a long day of overthinking every text message.
