best purchases of 2023

after hearing so many raving reviews about the eight sleep mattress, we decided to pull the trigger and try it out for ourselves. and it is worth ALL THE HYPE and more. i could do an entire blog post on this mattress but i'll try and keep this concise. it's a temperature regulated mattress that tracks all your sleep data & metrics. i have struggled with insomnia for the majority of my adult life and my sleep has never consistently been this good, since getting the 8 sleep. it allows your body temperature to stay regulated which in turn allows you to stay in rem or deep sleep! they make a mattress or just the pod cover - we just have the pod cover and it is INCREDIBLE. i no longer wake up sweating or freezing, and it regulates both sides of the mattress so michael and i have separate temps!get $50 off w/ code LAURENKAY

i bought this skims bra at the beginning of the year last year and it remained one of my best purchases throughout all 12 months. it's my #1 favorite bra i've ever purchased. SO comfortable, fits so well, doesn't show weird lines or gaps even underneath tight fitting clothing. i pretty much refuse to wear any other 'regular' bra now except for this one!

i've been taking this collagen supplement for almost a year now and i think it's made a huge difference in the health of my hair, skin, and nails. it's also packed with antioxidants and amino acids so it's honestly just a great supplement to add to your daily routine...for so many different health reasons!

i try out TONS of different shampoos & conditioners and honestly...my relationship with most of them ends there haha after one or two uses. but i tried out vegamour this past summer and it's been in my regular hair rotation ever since. i love how it smells, love how it makes my hair feel, and it's a shampoo & conditioner specifically designed to promote hair growth. and i've noticed a major difference in my hair growth this year!

if you've been following me for more than a few months...you know i LIVED in this fp onesie throughout my entire pregnancy. i loved it before pregnancy too but legit wore it at least 3x a week when i was pregnant haha. it's so comfy, but still looks cute, and you can make it look athletic too if that's the look you're going for! i think its truly flattering on any body type!

these had been on my wishlist ever since they came out, and michael gave them to me for valentine's day this year! i legit wear them DAILY - when i'm going for walks, putting laundry away etc! they're so comfortable, great quality, and i love the mesh on top bc they don't get too hot! i also think they're just cute and make such a statement! ngl i'm v tempted to get the green as well haha

i stopped getting lash extensions when i had lyla (so, 4 months ago) and my lashes were ROUGH haha. i started using this serum and honestly cannot BELIEVE how long and healthy my lashes have gotten in the past few months! i use it every night (sometimes in the mornings too) and it's made a HUGE difference in how long and healthy my natural lashes are!

i am somewhat addicted to testing out lip treatment products haha like lip balms or masks etc. and this one is truly the best one i've ever tried. i love the cooling applicator. i also love that this is truly like skincare for your lips - plumps and contours the lips with a 3D pillow-effect for natural-looking enhancement with immediate and sustained results! after a single application, you'll notice instant locked-in hydration and visible amplification of lip color, softness and smoothness!

i looked forever trying to find a necklace that would show both girls names, but wasn't tacky or too much and i LOVE this one from sis kiss so much! i wear it every single day and never take it off and the quality is incredible.
