Braided Laundry Basket: I was in the same spot 2 years ago. Think back to when you were a kid and what you imagined your living space would be like as an adult, and give yourself a housewarming gift. I bought myself this lovely rattan laundry basket, and it is still bringing me joy.

Desert Sandalwood Hand Soap: Yeehaw I'm A Sandalwood Cowboy

Amazon and DTC

This luxe sandalwood hand soap with tasteful notes of iris, vetiver, and cardamom will transport your nose to the most delightful version of the American Wild West—a gorgeous frontier fantasyland where the coyotes let you pet them and the cowboys are all horsegirls. Reminds me of Santal 33. Made with olive oil and aloe vera, it cleans effectively without drying out your hands.

“Go” station: Living alone rocks 🥲 be slow and intentional about building everything you need! Thrift kitchen dishes and check FB marketplace for furniture! My actual rec tho is having a “go” station near your door- I have a pegboard with keys and sunglasses, and a stand below with mints, lip gloss, pepper spray, hand sanitizer, bike lights, bus pass, rings, etc… everything you might consider grabbing before leaving the house. Fun to thrift cute catch-alls to put them in 🙂

Cooking Solo by Klancy Miller: Klancy Miller’s book is amazing for one- or two-person meals that don’t leave you drowning in leftovers! I especially love the risotto recipe, which explains how to pan fry leftovers into arancini-esque bites the next day. A true joy to read and to cook from.
