Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I am a wellness and self-care advocate. Being an editor turned influencer, I’ve had the luxury of being able to road test hundreds of lifestyle products over the years. There’s just so much info and so many products out there to review and digest—I think most women these days may not have the time or budget to thoroughly vet them. It’s my job (and I love it) to weed through all this “stuff” and to recommend the top things, to my knowledge, that help me to look and feel my best. Everything is highly curated and I only recommend products and brands that I truly love. I am passionate about sharing these best-kept secrets to help you save time and lead a more enhanced life. I just turned 56 and feel better than I did when I was in my 30’s, so I know first hand that these lifestyle hacks work!

Michael and I enjoying some delish Imperia Caviar.
Every year as Father’s Day rolls around I ask myself, “What should I get for Michael?” Since he rarely seems to shop much for himself, the kids and I always brainstorm to come up with some ideas for cool things that he would love and use. Over time, we’ve found the winning formula is to buy him a couple practical items we know he will like and then mix in a couple items he may not even know he needed!
My annual gift guide shares ideas for products or brands that my husband has loved in the past, along with things I have stumbled upon recently that I think are cool, in my quest to find the perfect prezzie!
Whether you’re shopping for your own dad or the father of your children, check out my short list below to get him something he is sure to enjoy for Father’s Day!
