Losing things is frustrating.
But some items?
They’re non-negotiable.
If I lost these today, I wouldn’t hesitate. I’d replace them immediately. No second guessing. No waiting for a sale. These are the everyday essentials that genuinely make my life easier, more organized, and more enjoyable.
Let’s get into it.
For someone who has severely dry skin, this has become a necessity. Very few moisturizers have the thickness and lasting power for an entire day of hydration. I layer this on top of my snail mucin/hyaluronic acid.
I have used this since high school. It’s one of the only oils that tames my big frizzy hair and also doubles as an amazing heat protectant. FYI, not for thin hair girls since it’s so heavy!
Skincare AND is tinted for the best all-natural makeup day. yes please. Super hydrating, and I wear shade light medium since I self-tan. Layers with makeup incredibly well.
I have worn the same sunglasses since college. And polarized is a must. Perfect for small face frames. Making the glass itself not as dark so that it complements your skin tones more.


The lipliner that has gone viral from other creators online. Adding a perfect nude lipstick helps the lips look bigger. And of course, a hydrating lip gloss of choice.
The only everyday bra I will purchase. It’s soft and has all the basic shades. Also, one of the only bras that actually comfortably creates cleavage.


I have shot hundreds of weddings in these shoes. They are the ultimate comfort shoe that is not a sneaker.
All of these things have one thing in common.
I finally replaced my everyday dinnerware with this blue and white set. They have every single type of dish for a full kitchen set (I’m slowly collecting).

I finally upgraded my old college pillow, and these were a win. Perfect fluff and density. Great price for a set of 2. Once a year, I throw them in the dryer to fluff them back up to brand new.
Having severe dry skin makes it hard to find a moisturizer that actually lasts. Having keratosis pilaris causes rough bumps all over the skin. Constant exfoliation and hydration is key. This is the only body lotion that helps and lasts.
Finding a Serena and Lily furniture dupe is CRAZY. Half the price but a great look and actually comfy. I’m someone who only buys chairs if they have a cushion and an armrest.
We all own a lot of things.
But only a few truly feel essential.
These are the items I’d immediately replace if I lost them today—no hesitation, no regrets. And honestly? That says a lot about what actually matters in everyday life.
