Things I Bought Last Month That I Don’t Hate
You know those random impulse buys that feel like a good idea at 11:47pm—and then show up and you're like… huh. Not bad?? Well, here are five things I bought recently that actually earned their keep. No returns. No regrets. No “why did I think I needed a glow-in-the-dark milk frother” situations. These are the rare gems that made it through the chaos of my cart and straight into my regular rotation.
1. Pumiey Bodysuit
💁♀️ Grab it here
This thing is a dupe and a dream. Stretchy, soft, holds you in without making you feel like a human sausage. I wore it under jeans, joggers, a blazer, a flannel—and yes, once with pajama bottoms because I gave up that day. It’s like Skims’ chill little sister who still looks amazing but isn’t trying so hard. I may or may not have ordered a second one already.
2. Lattafa Angham Perfume
You know how everyone on TikTok is screaming about $200 fragrances? Yeah, not me. I prefer my luxury on a budget. This perfume is rich auntie vibes—like, it’s giving "owns linen napkins" and "drinks espresso martinis but makes it fashion." And the compliments? Nonstop. Smells expensive without your bank account needing CPR.
3. Forehead Wrinkle Patches
🧖♀️ Stick ‘em here
OK listen, I’m not saying I suddenly have the forehead of a Disney princess, but I am saying these make me feel like I’m doing something besides spiraling about aging. I slap them on before bed, fall asleep watching Real Housewives, and wake up feeling a little less crinkly. It’s not Botox—but it’s also not Botox money.
4. NYX Buttermelt Powder Blush in “Feeling Butta”
I wasn’t sure if this would be too yellow, too chalky, too TikTok for me—but she’s cute. Very cute. Like warm-flush-of-sunlight cute. It blends like a dream and makes me look like I’ve had water, vitamins, and inner peace (none of which are true). A buttery little miracle.
5. Tom’s of Maine Wicked Cool Kid’s Toothpaste
Because one of my kids said the minty ones “burn his soul” and another one said “the bubblegum one tastes like lies.” This one? Everyone uses it, no complaints, no whining, and it’s not full of junk. It’s also called Wicked Cool, which makes me feel like I’m raising Boston skateboarders. A win.
So... would I buy them again?
Yes. Yes I would. I might even shout about them on Instagram. Or here. Like I just did. Because when something doesn't suck, you share the wealth. These five officially earned their place in my house—and let’s be honest, that’s harder than getting invited to the group chat.
