Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links, meaning I get a small commission if you make a purchase through my links, at no cost to you. However, I only recommend products I use and love.

These 10 products and services have seriously improved my life in the last year! From way better sleep to no longer having to go grocery shopping, I really hope I never have to live without any of it! And by the way.. I found, fell in love with, and wrote about these products BEFORE I applied to become an affiliate for them. Because I truly ONLY recommend (and blog about) products and services that I use and LOVE.

1. Obé Fitness

Since you’re reading my blog, I know I don’t have to convince you that regular exercise is such an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. It’s pretty much a requirement for good mental and physical health, reducing stress, preventing aging and disease, boosting confidence, plus it’s REALLY great for your skin.

Once upon a time, before a global pandemic changed the way we live, I was obsessed with group fitness classes. Then.. bam. COVID swept through New York, everything closed, and ALL the group fitness studios in my neighborhood shuttered their doors, never to return. 🤬🤬🤬

We have a gym in our apartment building.. but motivating myself to go is hard enough, and once I’m there I have to figure out what to do. I hate the guesswork and it isn’t ideal. You too?!

As a result, my overall fitness and strength is nowhere near what it once was. Neither is my ass. 🍑😢

But then… I discovered Obé Fitness and ..MY GOD, I am so glad I did!

Obé’s website describes it as “your new fitness everything” and that’s a perfect description. It’s a website + mobile app with tons of group fitness classes.. like, I’m talking, every type of class you could think of.

For my first class I tried Sculpt. The instructor, Peter was a FAB-U-LOUS, hilarious gay man who made it SUPER super fun. The class was so good I barely realized the whole 30 minutes had gone by when it ended.

For my second class, I took my phone to the gym where there are spin bikes and took a Ride class (that’s what they call spin), also with Peter. With my Beats noise canceling headphones on, I swear to god it was just like being at SoulCycle.. bumping hip hop and electronic music, and a high-energy instructor pushing me through. (Plus the added bonus of no sweaty yogi next to me stinking up the room!)

Now that I’ve discovered Obé Fitness, in-person group fitness classes are off the table for me. I can’t justify paying post-pandemic class prices (Soulcycle is $38 per class now) OR taking the subway to a whole other neighborhood, when I can get pretty much the same experience with the Obé classes with the convenience of not leaving my building.

Here’s the best part. It’s cheap! And we love a bargain. Obé is $27 per month, $65 per quarter, or $199 per year. When you take into consideration the fact that one SoulCycle class is $38, an entire month of unlimited fitness programs and classes for $27 is a STEAL.

Still not convinced? You can (and should) try Obé Fitness for FREE for 30 days, on me using this link. Give it a try for yourself and let me know what you think!

Let’s get in shape together this year, you want to?!

2. Dinnerly Meal Kits

Are you sick and tired of figuring out what to cook or order for dinner every night?

I was so over it. I tried Blue Apron and Hello Fresh, and I loved the convenience of the meal kits... but they were so expensive, I just couldn’t justify it. Then I found Dinnerly.

Dinnerly has totally elevated my weeknights. It’s allowed me to take the guess-work out of dinner completely, and quit grocery shopping — which felt like a huge waste of my time.

But what really sold me on this particular brand is the price. I still can’t believe that Dinnerly meals are only $4.99 per person per meal, and they are literally the exact same thing as Blue Apron and Hello Fresh. (I’m talking the same exact chicken with the same packaging from the same vendor.)

I’ve been using the Dinnerly kits to make dinner for myself and Ham 3 nights a week for the last year, since we started living together. So I can vouch for them that the quality is consistent. In addition to being super affordable, they have so much variety and the meals are incredibly tasty.

They have options for vegetarians, pescatarians, as well as low-calorie and low-carb. The meals are pretty healthy and balanced too — you know we eat clean and are a very health conscious couple. Plus you can make them a bit healthier depending on what type of oil you cook with, how much butter or ghee you use, and how much salt you use.

You know I don’t recommend any brands or products that I don’t absolutely love, and I recommend Dinnerly to all my friends.

3. Grove Collaborative

The last couple years, I’ve become a lot more focused on prioritizing my health. A big part of that is paying attention to what I put both in and on my body.

Of course that includes food, but I’ve also gotten into researching and buying clean, non-toxic skincare and household products. Because what’s in your environment is really important too!

For this reason, I was delighted to discover Grove Collaborative.

Grove is an online store and subscription service that delivers eco friendly home essentials, including household cleaning, personal care, baby, kid, and pet products.

4. Eight Sleep Pod Pro Mattress Cover

When I moved in with my boyfriend Hamed a year ago, I was delighted by the fact that he came with a king size Tempur-Pedic® mattress. SCORE!

But… our mattress slept HOT. I’m talking, all year long, even when it’s 15 degrees outside and there’s snow on the ground.. and even though we use these cooling bamboo sheets and this super breathable lightweight quilt, instead of a down comforter.. our bed was just too damn hot. The only solution was to crank the AC all night long. Not ideal.

Then one night at dinner, his friend told us about his newest obsession: Eight Sleep. We are now totally in love with this brand too.

Eight Sleep has a few products, but since we didn’t want to ditch our Tempur-Pedic® mattress, we opted for the Pod Pro Cover. (Eight Sleep also sells another product that is an entire mattress, which I think is worth checking out if you aren’t happy with your current one.)

So what is it exactly? The Pod Pro Cover is a sleek, super thin mattress cover and health tracking device. The main feature is that it allows you to precisely control the temperature of the bed — and let me tell you it works WELL and FAST.

If you’re curious how it works, there is a super thin layer of water inside the cover, and the water heats up or cools down to rapidly change the temperature of the bed. Each side of the bed is separate, so I control my side and Ham controls his. It’s honestly amazing what a difference this makes in terms of getting good quality sleep.. which is SO important for so many things, from your overall health to your day to day mental clarity and performance, to preventing premature aging and disease.

And let’s be honest.. some nights I want the bed to be warm and cozy, other nights if I’ve had a lot of red wine, I want the bed to be super cold. You control the Pod temperature from an app on your phone, and the change happens within a matter of a minute or two. It still trips me out every time I adjust it and feel the results almost IMMEDIATELY. Like, what more can you ask for, really?

It gets better though! The Pod Pro Cover also tracks your vitals while you’re sleeping.. including respiratory rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep cycles, and how many times you roll over.. then it gives you insight and a “sleep score” in the morning.

You get the same benefits as wearing a smart watch to bed, except you don’t have to sleep with something uncomfortable on your wrist. Over time the Pod learns about you and then sends you notifications, so you can make tweaks to optimize your sleep hygiene.

If you don’t want to fork over $1700+ up front, they have interest-free payment plans.

5. Canopy Humidifier (with Aroma Diffusion)

It’s so dry in New York in the winter, which takes a serious toll on my skin, lungs, the inside of my nose, hands, allergies. The solution? Enter Canopy Humidifier.

A humidifier is your best friend when it comes to youthful, dewey, plump, moisturized skin year-round. Also.. better air quality with moisture means improved breathing, which contributes to better sleep… and can even prevent some boyfriends from snoring lol.

I made the executive decision to upgrade to Canopy after reading that other humidifiers are breeding grounds for mold and bacteria… which made sense since the previous one I had was impossible to clean thoroughly.

Canopy is anti-mold and anti-bacterial because it uses mist-free technology, and is super easy to clean—you just pop it in the dishwasher.

Make sure to order some fun fragrances to take advantage of the aroma diffusion feature!

6. Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee with Lion’s Mane

I had to stop drinking coffee all together in my mid-twenties because all of a sudden one day it started making me feel really anxious and jittery.

It totally sucked because caffeine is awesome, plus I love the taste of coffee.

But then I found this wonderful “mushroom coffee” by Four Sigmatic — which gives you 50mg of caffeine plus Lion’s Mane, with ZERO ANXIETY or JITTERS.

I seriously have no idea how it works but it’s amazing.

As far as taste goes.. I’m not a coffee connoisseur, but I think it tastes great.. it does not taste like mushrooms whatsoever I promise!

7. Green Farm CBD Gummy Bears

CBD (short for Cannabidiol) has been a real game changer for me.

I don’t like THC (aka regular marijuana) products because I don’t like feeling high. CBD on the other hand, relaxes me and makes me sleepy before bed, without any psychoactive effects.

I’ve tried a variety of products.. including pricey capsules from Charlotte’s Web and this elegant gold CBD pen from Pellequr.

I like both, but my favorite CBD product hands down has been these gummy bears by Green Farm which I buy through Groupon. They are shipped to my apartment which is super convenient.

Personally I choose the Clear Bears 5000mg option (no sugar coating) and I eat anywhere from 2-4 bears a night as part of my evening wind down. They’re really delicious too, it’s hard to only have a couple!

8. Woo More Play Coconut Love Oil

I was hesitant at first to include this product because it’s a bit personal… but then I remembered that 90% of my blog readers are millennial women so, let’s get fucking personal, why not!? We’re all friends here, ladies.

Plus.. the stigma that exists around sex is lame. (Safe) sex has tons of health benefits, including lower blood pressure, better immune system, better heart health, decreased depression and anxiety, and better sleep, just to name a few! (Source)

Not to mention sex is really important for intimacy and feeling close and connected with your partner, for most people. This product makes something that’s already awesome even better!

I’m talking about Woo More Play’s Coconut Love Oil (fancy for personal lubricant) and it’s amazing for a few reasons.

First of all it smells (and tastes) amazing, because it’s made from ONLY ingredients that you can find in your kitchen cabinet, and nothing else. I’m talking stuff you would actually eat, like organic coconut oil, beeswax, vanilla, and stevia.

Here’s why this is so important. Besides Woo, every other personal lubricant on the market is full of gross mystery chemicals. (So you definitely don’t want that in your mouth.) But more importantly—in case you didn’t know—women are VERY absorbent “down there.” So basically, anything we put on our lady parts should be super clean and non-toxic, because it’s getting absorbed right into our blood stream, just like everything we eat and drink.

Knowing this, I never want any nasty Astroglide or anything like that near my V, EVER AGAIN.

I recommended this product to all of my girlfriends, and they are also obsessed with it. If you think you don’t need lube, you’re wrong. I won’t go into detail on why it feels so nice (my parents might read this), so just try it out for yourself and thank me later. 😉

It’s the lube we never thought we needed, and now we don’t want to live without.

9. Silk Pillowcases

These Silk Pillowcases are a MUST for your skin and hair. I’m obsessed with silk pillowcases for 3 reasons:

If you sleep on your side or stomach.. your face slides against the material, instead of getting pulled by the fabric, which causes wrinkles. So a silk pillowcase is anti-aging, which we love!
Silk doesn’t soak up your skincare products like other fabrics, which is HUGE if you spend what I do on my serums and night creams.
They prevent your hair from breaking (unlike cotton).

10. “I Will Teach You to be Rich” (Book by Ramit Sethi)

Only ONE book made this list, so you better believe it’s a great one!

Confession: I never read a finance book in my life before this one. In fact, I’d rather watch The Matrix than read or watch anything to do with finance, budgets, saving, investing, blah blah blah because, boring. (Funny since my boyfriend works in finance, right?)

But Ramit is HILARIOUS! This book is so witty, I found myself actually cracking up on the Subway. He breaks things down in a way that’s super easy to understand, and gets you excited about making, SPENDING, saving, and investing money.. even for someone as clueless about finance as I was!

Thanks to Ramit’s techniques, I no longer feel guilty about spending lavishly on the things I love (which for me includes travel and going out to eat), I know when to be frugal, all my accounts are automated so I do literally nothing and my bills and credit cards get paid on time, and I’m saving AND investing $$$ every single month for my future. Game changer! I still can’t believe I actually enjoyed a finance book, plus it’s approved by my Dad, who really knows his shit when it comes to managing money.
