My home runs on a short list — clean products, a few good tools, and one or two things that just make me happy to look at. You would never know so many animals live here. Here’s what’s actually in my space.

Hydration
- Stanley Quencher Tumbler — I found it in a lavender-gray that genuinely makes me happy every time I reach for it. Half the battle with water is actually wanting to drink it.
- Ello Insulated Water Bottle — my second bottle, and my travel one. I’m always drinking water, so I like having one within reach no matter where I am.
My Cleaning Lineup
- Mrs. Meyer’s All-Purpose Cleaner — I love Mrs. Meyer’s, period. Clean, healthy, and it smells brilliant.
- Mrs. Meyer’s Dish Soap — same reason. Basil is the scent I keep coming back to.
- Iberia Distilled White Vinegar — I clean my countertops with vinegar and water, and it’s completely replaced Windex. I don’t own any.
- ECOS Laundry Detergent — clean ingredients, and the lemongrass is my favorite. Love, love, love it.
- Bamllum Rubber Gloves — for the times I do reach for bleach, and for picking up after the dogs in the yard. Keeps my skin off anything harsh.
- Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator — with a house full of dogs, accidents happen. This handles them, and I rarely smell anything anymore.
Kitchen & Dishes
- gmisun Glass Soap Dispensers — just simple clear glass. They go with any decor, which is exactly the point.
- MR.SIGA Long-Handle Bottle Brush — I use this instead of a sponge, then toss it in the dishwasher to disinfect. (Not positive it does much, but I hear it’s better.)
- Home Beets Acacia Cutting Board — simple and genuinely useful, especially if you move a lot or just need to cut up a small meal. (I do miss my bigger one.)
- Our Place Cooking Ware — my sister actually recommended this cooking ware brand, and I haven’t looked back (at least not yet hehe).
Floors
Even with regular house cleaning, it takes two robot vacuums and a portable one to keep up with all the pack’s foot traffic.
- JELLYPIG Cordless Vacuum — cordless and light enough to carry up and down the stairs. A real game-changer.
- TOSOMO Roborock Mop Pads — I run two Roborocks at home (life-changing), and these are the replacement mop pads I buy.
- Roborock Official Floor Cleaning Solution — this is all I use on the floors outside of vinegar or the dog cleaning solution.
The Extras
- ASAKUKI Essential Oil Diffuser — my favorite. I’ve used diffusers for over a decade; my go-to morning blend is rosemary, lemongrass, and a little bergamot.
- Crocs (for the house) — so comfy, and easy to walk and work in all day.
- maxtek Magnetic Whiteboard — I love writing things down and keeping track. This one’s my best friend.
- Turkish Towels — if you’re not looking for fancy towels, these get the job done.
