Introducing my 2023 List of Favorite Things!
We all use and like many different products, but these are the items that I can’t live without! Over the years, many have found my lists helpful, and I hope that this year’s list will give you some inspiration for treating yourself or your loved ones!
Vipro Pindjur: I’ve tried and loved many east European vegetable spreads, but I believe I have found the absolute best. More commonly known as ajvar, pindjur is a spread made of roasted red pepper, tomatoes, garlic, oil, salt, and eggplant. You can spread on toast, or Italian sandwiches, but sometimes I just eat it by the spoon! This brand is sold for $8.49 for 540 grams at the Italian Centre.
Sodastream: we use this so many times per day, it’s an indispensable addition to our house. Although we don’t do the syrups as much, we just mix it with some juice for a hint of flavor. Refreshing!
Ikea Upphetta: this French press coffee/tea maker is probably in everyone’s home, but I absolutely love it for steeping my daily Japanese green tea. Earlier this year, it was accidentally broken and I was so relieved it was less than $10 to replace it!
Gramma Bee’s Honey: this local unpasteurized raw honey has never been heated, nor filtered, and they deliver to my doorstep in a bulk 5kg size for $50! I decant the honey into smaller jars immediately, and it lasts me about 1 year before I make another order.
Zojirushi Hot Water Dispenser: My fave appliance! It provides hot water at the perfect temperature of 195F, instantly and consistently. As someone who constantly enjoys hot beverages, I can’t imagine life without it.
Salux Japanese Exfoliating Bath Towel: Although I overlooked mentioning in some previous years’ lists, this rough-textured washcloth has been a staple in my daily routine for over 20 years. It really makes you feel exfoliated! Once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why it’s irreplaceable.
Zojirushi Vacuum Insulated Mug: this does an exceptional job of keeping hot drinks hot and my cold drinks cold! There is NO other mug that compares! I have it in navy, lavender, silver, and white.
Paula’s Choice 2% Salicylic Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid Exfoliant: since the year 2000, along with SPF50+ sunscreen, I have used this several times a week to keep my skin clear and smooth, and I think it’s made a big difference! I am never without it.
Zavida Flavored Coffee: I’ve been a long-time advocate of these flavored beans, particular the Hazelnut Vanilla Medium Roast. The beans have a great, smooth flavour with no acidity and smell amazing! For fast days, I use the k-cups and buy in bulk boxes of 96 cups at a time Maple/English Toffee/Bavarian Chocolate/French Vanilla/Chocolate Raspberry flavours. I wait all year for the Costco mega sales so I save $4-$11 off each bag or pack.
Ombrelle Kids Sunscreen SPF 60: this has been a daily staple for years for us and never feels greasy or dry.
Uniqlo Heattech Leggings – insanely comfortable, inexpensive, and reliable. I hope they never discontinue selling these!
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream: absolutely a must-have daily product for our family! The ceramides and hyaluronic acid restore the skin barrier and retains hydration.
