A peek at everything I’ve loved in October 2026! You can also find my wishlist and current favorites here! Along with my recent purchases right here. It’s like a view into my personal life. 

FOOD

Coop’s salted caramel. We’ve been making apple nachos and I will drizzle this on them.. it’s delish. Unreal. We already love the hot fudge. This salted caramel is amazing.

Chunk Nibbles s’mores clusters. Oh my goodness. If you love s’mores… you must get these. Enough said!! I find mine at Target too.

My apple butter crumb muffins. We have enjoyed this so much this month. I’ve made them almost once a week!

HOME

Ninja crispi pro. We all LOVE this and use it daily – multiple times a day. On Sunday, Eddie made four batches of cinnamon sugar sweet potato chips. It is just so different from other air fryers because you can SEE the food!! And it’s not as ugly sitting out of my counter as others are. We love it. Highly recommend!

MacKenzie Child’s pumpkin set. I’ve had mine for over ten years and I still get so excited to bring them out. I’m sure it’s the black and white of it all, but they work so well in the fall season. And now, their choices of colors are incredible since I got mine!

Black light-up Halloween houses. These have also been the hit of our decor! They are a nice size – not huge – and fit in my cabinets with glass doors. They also have an LED light which is really nice. I love how black they are, and that they aren’t made of paper or cardboard. Super cute!! As expected, my kids are obsessed with them.

BEAUTY

L’ange blow dry brush. I have been waiting all month to tell you about this. I’ve tried soooo many dryer brushes over the years, and up until now I’ve still be using my dyson airwrap – the brush attachment. But I can tell it’s pulling out my hair. I bought this brush on amazon and it is the best one I’ve ever used. It’s phenomenal – does not pull my hair at all, has cold, warm and hot settings and works like a dream. I bought the 65mm but if you have really long hair, there is a larger one. It gives so much volume!

Lake & Sky 222 perfume. I’ve loved 11:11 for YEARS. It’s my take-everywhere perfume, the travel roller lives in my bag, I have one in my car, it’s so fresh and not offensive. This is that PLUS a little bit of vanilla warmth and I am completely obsessed. It smells incredible! A mix of a clean, fresh and warm scent in one.

Prada longwear blush in deep plum. This color looks scary, but I tried it on and instantly fell in love. It’s a great fall and winter shade, and I used both my fingers and a stipling brush to apply it. I’ve wanted to try this blush for months now after seeing people use it on tiktok. It really does last all day and applies like a dream.

FASHION

The black brava pant. This is my black pant of the season. I’m in love. It looks SO good and sleek but at the same time is insanely comfortable. I’ve worn it with flats, boots and heels. I’ve worn it with a denim shirt (this one! and a Rails one that is ten years old.) and a sweater. I will be living in them all season long.

Brown suede ankle boots. This may be one of those boots that I get in every color. I got a pair of black year that I adore, but not brown. These are it!! I spray them with this so they stay good in all of our weather. And they are super comfortable. I’ve had them on for hours at a time already and love.

Mockneck sweatshirts. I bought one of these before the prime day sale and then proceeded to buy two more during it because it’s great. I love how wide the mock neck it – it’s flattering and looks so nice but doesn’t hit your chin or face. It’s almost sharp looking – like it’s appears nicer than in it. I’ve washed and dried it a few times already too. I have the aritzia version of these and they aren’t much different!!

Striped initial tote. One of my friends brought this to my house in the summer, using it as her diaper/pool bag with her kids. It was sooo cute. I ordered a mini one for Emilia but I’m pretty sure this is going to be my gift for the year for friends and family. The colors are all fabulous and the quality is great. It reminds me of my boat and totes in quality! I just wish there was a zipper version.

MEDIA

Back Where We Started. I actually read this last month but I LOVED it, it’s so good!! There are so many of my favorite tropes. It’s a must read.

Murder with My Husband Podcast. This is a new-to-me one that I’ve been listening to and it’s good! It’s a husband and wife (she loves it, he hates it) and she tells him the stories. They are usually under an hour too so I like them for a shorter podcast!

The Gentlemen on Netflix. I loved season one and now season two!!

KIDS

Camp Snap screen free digital camera. Max got one of these in the summer and I just bought Emilia one for her birthday in two weeks. Max loves his (so do the other two and they beg for one) and it feels old school since it doesn’t have a screen. They’ve all had the poloraid quick snap cameras but they blow through the film so much. With this, they get SO excited for the pictures – first, they actually take them with intention and then they get pumped when I upload them. It’s been fun (and funny!!).

Spooky Cutie coloring book. As mentioned, my kids adore Halloween, especially Emilia. I bought her this and she has loved it – it’s been in her activity bag for hockey and longer car rides. It’s really cute!!

Stickflip. My kids cannot get enough of this… so much so that I want to take it away half the time. Ha! They LOVE it. It is very fun and if you have water bottle flippers in your house… they will love this.
