My Slightly Extra Everyday Favorites

A few of my favorite slightly extra gadgets and indulgences that make everyday moments feel a little more fun, a little more luxurious, and a lot more me.

Sometimes a little extra goes a long way.
Here are the things I’ve been loving lately—small indulgences that make my day brighter, my routines smoother, and my “me time” just a touch more fun.

1. Portable fans

I use this all the time at my vanity to dry eyelash glue or setting spray.
Yeah, I could try having some patience and wait for the glue to dry, but who are we kidding here?
This little fan is extra—but genuinely useful.

2. Mini milk frothers

Tiny, sleek, and surprisingly powerful.
It makes my morning coffee feel like a café moment—even on a Wednesday.

Frothed matcha, protein drinks, tiny indulgence… yes, please.

3. Essential oil diffusers for your car or desk

I have one that plugs into my car’s usb plug with reusable felt pads.
Add a few drops of essential oils and suddenly traffic feels like a mini spa session.
Modern, minimal, and actually calming. Who knew commuting could be this soothing?

4. Spa-style headbands & hair wraps

Soft, neutral, and perfect for keeping hair out of my face during skincare or masks.
It makes my bathroom feel more like a spa and less like… my bathroom.
Small touch, big vibe.

5. Head massagers

I look ridiculous sitting in my car massaging this on my head—but I don’t care.
Wire-style, “million hands” sensation.
Instant zen, tiny indulgence, 100% worth it.

6. Colored contact lenses

A playful way to mix up my look.
Natural tones for subtle shifts, vibrant colors when I want to make people do a double take.
Temporary, fun, and somehow a little confidence boost.

7. Self-tanning drops

Beauty by Earth’s drops give me a gradual glow.
It makes me feel like I’ve got a little extra bounce in my step.
Perfect for transitioning out of summer while keeping skin radiant.

These are my slightly extra, definitely fun, but actually useful favorites right now.

Nothing here is strictly necessary, but each adds a little lift to the everyday.
Sometimes life is better with a tiny bit of extra—don’t fight it.
