You know how sometimes you stumble across something new (or rediscover an old favorite) and think: where has this been all my life? That’s exactly what this list is about. Each month, I’m sharing five things that I’ve been enjoying, using, or just plain obsessing over.
Some are little indulgences, some are practical life-savers, and all of them are things I’d absolutely recommend if you’re looking to make your day a little brighter.

1. Opopop Microwave Popcorn
Let’s be honest, sometimes the evening snack monster just takes over. I’m usually torn between wanting something crunchy, salty, and satisfying… and not wanting to regret it later. Enter Opopop Microwave Popcorn.
This isn’t your ordinary bag of popcorn. The bowl is genius, and the flavors? Extraordinary. I actually look forward to my evening snack now—like, it feels a little fancy instead of “just popcorn.” Plus, clean-up is easy, which means I can get back to my Netflix binge without guilt.
2. Torani Sugar-Free French Vanilla Syrup
Confession: Iced coffee is basically my personality trait at this point. Every. Single. Day. But when I started using Torani Sugar-Free French Vanilla Syrup, my coffee went from “pretty good” to “barista-level amazing.”
It’s sweet, smooth, and has that café vibe without the extra sugar (or extra guilt). It’s now a non-negotiable in my coffee routine.
3. My New Milk Frother (a.k.a. My Cold Foam Secret Weapon)
Speaking of coffee… you know that cold foam you get at fancy coffee shops? The one that makes you want to tip just a little extra because it feels so indulgent? Well, I figured out how to make it at home with this Milk Frother and let me tell you—I feel like a full-fledged barista.
Here’s the trick I discovered: whipping cream. Froth that up and you’ve got yourself the richest, creamiest cold foam ever. My mornings feel downright bougie now.
4. L’Oréal Magic Root Cover Up
This one’s not new for me, but it’s too good not to share. I found L’Oréal Magic Root Cover Up during COVID and it was a total game-changer. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for those “oh no, my roots are showing and I have a Zoom in 5 minutes” situations.
Even now, it’s my go-to in between salon visits. Honestly, it’s saved me so many times—especially before going live on video. Highly recommend.
5. Bumble and Bumble Leave-In Conditioner
And finally, let’s talk about the never-ending battle: me vs. Florida humidity. Spoiler alert—the humidity usually wins. But I’ve been testing Bumble and Bumble Leave-In Conditioner, and so far, it’s been a solid ally.
It helps smooth things out, keeps the frizz from going totally wild, and doesn’t weigh my hair down. Not a miracle cure (yet), but I’m liking it so far. And if you’ve got any other holy grail anti-frizz secrets, I’m all ears—seriously, drop them in the comments.
That’s my October list!
Five things that are making my days tastier, smoother, and just a little more fun. If you give any of them a try, let me know—I love hearing what works (and what doesn’t) for you.
Until next month’s roundup, cheers to good coffee, good snacks, and good hair days.
