Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone!! WE DID IT. Another year!
2021 has been an absolute rollercoaster with some incredible highs, many lows, and a ton of growth. I’m so grateful for every celebration and lesson it taught, but I’m so ready for a new year! I’ll be honest – I have no idea what 2022 holds and I have a feeling a lot of changes are coming, so I’ll just do my best to welcome them!
I took a look back and my absolute favorite things from this past year – my favorite purchases, gifts, food that I tried, workouts I did most regularly, and what brought joy to my life. Here’s the ultimate list of my 2021 favorites!!
FITNESS
Peloton – Truly never thought I’d be someone obsessed with this, but I’ve truly never been more motivated between the bike and the strength workouts on the app! Worth every penny.
Recharge Wellness – I’ve been doing my friend Rachel’s workouts at least once per week since January and they just feel good. It’s a mix of meditation, dance cardio, sculpt and a little HIIT!
Sami Clarke Workouts – Sami’s free workouts on YouTube are my go-to when I want to combine a few shorter workouts and have minimal equipment. I love her!
FOOD
Oat Haus Granola Butter – If you’re looking for a nut-free addiction, look no further. I eat this by the spoonful!
Midday Squares Peanut Butta – One of my absolute favorite snacks from 2021. This flavor is like a Reese’s.
Maxine’s Heavenly Cookies – We microwave these for ~15 seconds and they taste freshly baked.
Our Place Plates – A Black Friday purchase from this year, we’re absolutely obsessed with these!!
BOOKS
Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo – Literally anything by this woman is a win, but I think this was my #1 favorite of hers!
Malibu Rising – And this was a close second.
One Day in December – I read this in 3 days and could barely put it down. An incredible story!
CLOTHES
Cotton On Puffer – I’m the biggest Cotton On stan and this jacket is warm and cute, especially for the price!
Abercrombie High Rise Mom Jeans – My #1 favorite pair of jeans ever. I sized up and they’re just the most comfortable/flattering/cute!!
Halara 2-In-1 Wannabe Dress – When I tell you I lived in this dress last summer. I have it in 3 colors!
Paragon Fitwear – This activewear line blew me away this year! I even got it for three people for the holidays because it’s just incredibly soft and sustainable, too! Use code DANCINGFORDONUTS to save 10%.
Tavi Active – Another activewear line I fell in love with because the fit is incredible and the leggings are so comfy!
BEAUTY
Chella Beauty Eyeshadow Palette – One word: obsessed. Using this for my wedding next year!
Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk Liner – The hype is real, this truly makes such a difference!
Maria Nila Volume Shampoo & Conditioner – My favorite non-toxic and vegan haircare. It works and smells amazing.
Youth to the People Superclay Mask – I have a #facemasksunday tradition and this mask has quickly become a favorite. Love their whole line!
T3 Curling Iron – I finally bought this on sale this year and I love it so much. Also using it for my wedding!
Humble Brands Natural Deodorant – The only non-toxic deodorant that has worked for me for more than one month with zero rashes or body odor (been using it for over a year!). Get the plastic-free container!
I hope you have the most incredible weekend reflecting on how far you’ve come, and celebrating all the good that’s yet to happen! I don’t say it nearly enough, but if you’re reading this, I’m so grateful for you’re here.
Cheers to a fresh start and Happy 2022!
