Julie’s Favorite Things: Self-Care Essentials That Spark Joy
You know how some little things can make your whole day just a bit better? I’ve found a few treasures that have become my go-to’s—not only in my self-care routine but in adding a touch of kindness to my day. I thought I’d share them with you, just in case they bring some joy to your life too!
Mango “Happy Juice”*
This is like a hug in a cup for me. It helps me feel calm, balanced, and just overall less overwhelmed, while also giving me an energy boost. I love starting my day with this juice!
Body Butter*
This is my little self-care ritual in a jar. It’s so nourishing, makes my skin feel soft, and (bonus!) keeps mosquitoes away. I love how applying body butter helps me slow down and just be.
Essential Oils (OnGuard)
I’m a huge fan of diffusing OnGuard oils. They make the whole house feel cozy and fresh. I also use the hand soap in all our bathrooms—it’s such a simple way to bring a little wellness boost to our routines. Get 25% off with my link
Cleaning Bundle*
Okay, this one is a game changer! This bundle includes laundry soap and dishwasher powder that lasts forever and is gentle on the environment. It makes cleaning feel more like caring for our home, and less like a chore.
Amazon Frother
Making chai lattes at home has never been the same since I found this little gem. It adds that bit of extra luxury to my day. Seriously, a frothy drink makes everything better!
iRobot (AKA Rosie)
Oh, Rosie! She keeps my kitchen crumb-free while I sleep. I love waking up to a clean floor without lifting a finger. She’s the best addition to our home—she just quietly goes about her work while we rest.
ageLOC Tru Face Peptide Retinol Complex*
I can’t say enough good things about this retinol cream. My skin barrier was damaged, and this has been a gentle miracle. It’s helped repair my skin, and I’m finally feeling like I have my glow back.
Clean Skin Club Disposable Face Towels
Another skincare game changer! These towels keep my skin fresh and irritation-free. They’ve become an essential part of my routine, and I even have them on auto-replenish so I’m never without them.
Erasable Markers, Pens, and My Paper Daytimer
There’s something about planning on paper that just grounds me. I love being able to write, erase, and adjust as I go. It keeps me organized in a way that feels kind and flexible—no pressure, just progress!

Testimonials
''I highly recommend her for your
next organizational project!''
''Everyone needs a non-judgmental “best friend” who will work shoulder-to-shoulder with you as you work toward your organizational goals. Julie is that best friend. In the kindest and gentlest way, Julie helped me work through a large project in smaller, more manageable tasks. She kept me focused on the task at hand, dealing with both the physical and emotional attachment I had with some of the items I had held on to for much too long. Whether it’s a short-term or long-term project, Julie can help you get to the finish line! I highly recommend her for your next organizational project!'' - Kathy
''She opened my mind to new tools and strategies into my daily life''
''My experience with Julie was incredible. She is a kind, calming, safe space. I enjoyed the exercise we did together. It really help me view my emotions from a different perspective. She knew what questions to ask and how to help me analyze my feelings. She’s educated in what she does. I would love to do it again with her!! She opened my mind to new tools and strategies into my daily life. ❤️❤️❤️''- Kate
''It quickly gave me perspective on how I allow my emotions take control''
''The exercise was quick and effective. It quickly gave me perspective on how I allow my emotions take control. It’s interesting how I had immediate answers to the questions I was asked. I can only speak for myself, but this changed my thoughts for that day and I was present. I did continue to think about the exercise the following day and tried to remember how I felt when I answered the questions. I believe it was effective. I plan on using that exercise or at least remember what I answered when I feel like I’m spiraling or overthinking my thoughts'' - Maritza
''I feel about myself and take care of myself is related to so many aspects of my life, including my relationships and decluttering my home.''
''Being in this community with Julie’s guidance has helped me to understand about Self Care and Self Love, two concepts that were very foreign to me. I get it know, and I’m learning more all the time about how the way I feel about myself and take care of myself is related to so many aspects of my life, including my relationships and decluttering my home.'' - Laura
