Favorite Things Friday: My Favorite Finds for Women Over 50

One of my favorite parts of blogging has always been sharing the little things that genuinely make life easier, prettier, and more enjoyable. Before social media became what it is today, blogs were where we swapped recommendations with friends. We shared products we loved, decorating ideas, recipes, and little discoveries that made everyday life feel a little more special.

As I begin this new chapter, I wanted to bring that tradition back

Every Friday I’ll be sharing six favorites that I’m genuinely using and loving. My hope is that these posts become a resource you can come back to whenever you’re looking for a great beauty product, a cozy home find, a kitchen gadget worth buying, or simply a little inspiration for your own next chapter.

Today’s roundup includes a few discoveries that have made my week better.

Kitchen Favorite

The Wonder Oven Is Perfect for Empty Nesters

One of the biggest adjustments after becoming an empty nester has been changing the way I cook. I don’t need to prepare meals for six anymore, and I definitely don’t want to heat up my full-sized oven for one or two servings.

That’s why I’ve been loving this adorable Wonder Oven.

Not only is it incredibly cute sitting on the countertop, but it’s also surprisingly versatile. It air fries, bakes, toasts, reheats, and cooks small batches much faster than a traditional oven. It’s become my go-to for lunch, roasting vegetables, warming leftovers, or making a quick dinner without the extra cleanup.

If you’re cooking for one or two people, I honestly think it’s one of the handiest appliances you can own.

Home Favorite

My Rechargeable Candle Warmer Lamp

I’ve always loved burning candles because they instantly make a home feel cozy, but lately I’ve found myself reaching for my rechargeable candle warmer even more.

Instead of burning the wick, the warming bulb gently melts the wax and fills the room with fragrance. The one I’m using has several brightness settings, so it doubles as a beautiful ambient lamp in the evenings.

I love that I don’t have to remember to blow out a candle, and my favorite candles seem to last much longer.

It’s one of those little luxuries that makes everyday life feel just a little bit calmer.

Beauty Favorite

An Affordable Lip Gloss That Rivals My High-End Favorite

If you’ve followed me for very long, you know I’ve been loyal to Buxom lip gloss for years.

Recently I picked up Revolution’s Pout Bomb Plumping Lip Gloss, and I was honestly surprised by how much I liked it.

It gives that same glossy, fuller-looking finish with a comfortable plumping effect, but it costs a fraction of the price. It has quickly earned a permanent spot in my purse.

I love finding affordable beauty products that perform like luxury brands because they prove you don’t always have to spend more to get great results.

Fashion Favorite

Two Pieces I’ve Been Reaching for Again and Again

There are two fashion favorites I keep grabbing this summer.

The first is my Mother jeans. I’ve talked about these before because they’re truly worth the investment. The fit, stretch, pocket placement, and quality are unlike anything else I’ve found, and they hold their shape beautifully year after year. I’ll be linking my favorite styles in my LTK so you can see exactly which pairs I wear most often.

Fashion over 50: my favorite jeans for fall! 🍂

In your 50s, it’s time to stop apologizing for buying good jeans. ✨ Buy the inexpensive top. Invest in the jeans that make your butt look amazing. A great pair will last for years—and these Mother jeans never let me down. The reason I love Mother jeans is the stretch technology and their pockets are the perfect size and placement. You can’t go wrong!!

Here’s the link to my favorite Mother jeans!

The second is this lightweight leopard satin robe.

I’ve been searching for a robe that’s comfortable enough for summer but still feels a little luxurious. This one is soft, lightweight, and just fun to wear while getting ready in the morning or winding down at night.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make everyday routines feel special.

Organization Favorite

A Padded Laptop Sleeve That Makes Traveling Easier

I carry my laptop almost everywhere, whether I’m heading to a coffee shop, filming content, or meeting clients.

This padded laptop sleeve has become one of those purchases that I use every single day.

It protects my computer without adding a lot of bulk, and the soft gingham pattern makes me smile every time I pull it out of my bag. It’s practical, simple, and exactly the kind of organizing product I appreciate because it solves a problem without overcomplicating things.

Just Because Favorite

My Favorite Little Self-Care Routine

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that self-care doesn’t have to mean an expensive spa day.

Sometimes it’s as simple as slowing down for an evening.

One of my favorite rituals lately has been putting on the Mediheal Hyper Hyaluronate sheet mask, slipping into my leopard robe, making a cup of tea, and watching a movie.

Those quiet moments help me recharge after a busy week of work, remodeling projects, and everyday life.

I’ve found that taking care of ourselves in small ways often makes the biggest difference.

What I’m Doing This Weekend

Remodeling, Real Estate, and the Farmers Market

This weekend is going to be a busy one.

I’m hosting an open house tonight, spending time working on projects at the Tudor, and hopefully wandering through the farmers market on Saturday morning. There’s something about fresh flowers, local produce, and strolling through the market that always inspires me.

I’m excited to share more of those adventures during Saturday Strolls this weekend.

As always, you’ll find links to everything featured in today’s post—including my favorite Mother jeans—in my LTK and linked throughout this post.

I’d also love to hear from you.
