Circling back to this conversation from a few weeks ago, as many of you have been messaging me with your own “Regrettably Worth Its” (RWIs) since we first encountered the phrase via A Thing Or Two podcast. A few of the responses that I have heard the most from you all:
Psycho dedication to dental health (specifically, most of you talked about flossing with Cocofloss)
Lake Pajamas (specifically the Relax Set — many of us own in multiple colors)
Less caffeine (probably half of you said this!)
UBeauty lip plasma (20% off with JENSHOOP)
Laser hair removal (strongly agree – money well spent)
Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups
Doing the dishes and packing the lunches at night (e.g. not waiting til morning!)
Dyson AirWrap (this is my personal TOP RWI)
Weekly meal planning
Washing makeup brushes and jewelry
Wearing sunscreen
In my opinion, the number one RWI in life is being the bigger person. It is so hard to bite your tongue / go high when they go low / reach out after an argument / let things go, but nearly always worth it.
What else would you add?
Post Scripts.
+What would you tell your 20 year old self?
+On book repeating – I think this is so fascinating.
Shopping Break.
SKIMS JERSEY TOPS // DYSON AIR WRAP // JUSTIN’S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS // COCOFLOSS // LAKE PAJAMAS RELAX SET // UBEAUTY LIP PLASMA // YVES DURIF VENTED BRUSH // BOMBAS SOCKS
+I bought the Skims tees and Yves Durif brush because of your empassioned claims! I don’t know why I still haven’t bought the Bombas — obviously, I love everything you’ve recommended! I’m no special flower – I need to get on the wagon – and just noticed you can get 20% off your first order with COMFORT20.
+Re: Skims tee. I’m really impressed. They have a very tight weave that holds you in / sucks you in and creates a great silhouette. Perfect with all the barrel / wide leg jeans we’ve been buying. Initially, I boldly ordered a size down in my tees (took XXS instead of XS) since I’m the most petite up top and usually can get away with sizing down. I wish I’d taken my true size — they are TIGHT — but I am keeping them. I was so impressed I went back and ordered more in my true size (XS). I got the short sleeve in black and heather gray and the long sleeved in white and truffle. People also love this lounge dress!
+And speaking of UBeauty, I just got their new FlashPeel in the mail and am SO obsessed. I don’t know if it’s the change in seasons, feeling a little rundown, etc, but my skin has really needed some extra TLC and this delivered instant results. You can use my code JENSHOOP for 20% off. The other item I love from UBeauty is this eye cream. I love love it. Deeply hydrating.
+For those of you who insisted on cleaning jewelry – tell us your tricks/tips! What products do you use? How often? I’m guessing you do more than sporadically use this diamond dazzle stick on your engagement ring…
+This brushed cashmere sweater is under $200 and so good. I’ve been seeing a lot of brushed-effect knitwear all of the sudden — I’m here for it.
+At soccer last weekend, about 50% of the moms were wearing brown leggings. Brown is THE color. SO chic! Love these, but I feel like the airlift ones from Alo are very popular among the moms in my school community.
+The last time I featured this Ann Mashburn bag, a bunch of you bought them. I just noticed they released it in a fab navy/green tartan for the holiday season. How perfect with a simple knit or a cheerful red topcoat?!
+I think these smart table lamps are super chic / architectural.
+This pleated maxi skirt has been very popular among Magpies. So elegant with a black turtleneck.
+Drooling over this ladylike boucle coat (on sale!). While we’re talking statement outerwear, how cool is this $200 mixed plaid top coat from Avec Les Filles?!
+I’m telling you, the Gwrap bags from Joy Creative are such a godsend. I basically only use them for gifting to children. (Some of my favorite go-to gifts for little kids here — the comments are a gold mine!). No tape, no rolls of paper — just drop the item inside and seal with one of the included to/from labels. They look adorable and couldn’t be easier! They just released a holiday set that I ordered in advance!
+Fun fridge magnets.
Stretching and foam rolling every single morning. Not just wearing sunscreen but, covering up in the sun and risking looking like a never nude.
Good morning from Cali,
My ask is this, I am in need of a new hip lap top cover, and phone case. Something edgy, cool, but classic
Thank you in advance.
I tried to look for past post on this but I could not find it anywhere.
Thank you
BTW: I enjoy reading your post every morning along with drinking my fresh press-coffee
