Books
Here are some of my recent must-reads for women:
Power: A Women’s Guide to Living and Leading Without Apology by Kemi Nekvapil
If you grew up as a young girl being told who you should be, before you ever had the chance to decide for yourself, or if you’re a chronic people-pleaser, Power: A Women’s Guide to Living and Leading Without Apology may be the book for you! Leadership coach, Kemi Nekpavil gives detailed advice on how to go from seeking permission from others to giving yourself permission to live authentically. This book is empowering for any woman on a self-exploration journey,
Radiant Wildheart: A Guide to Awaken Your Inner Artist and Live Your Creative Mission by Shereen Sun
If there is one book on this list that I’ll refer back to again and again, it’s this one. Radiant Wildheart: A Guide to Awaken Your Inner Artist And Live Your Creative Mission became my go-to resource as I revamped the She Owns Her Day blog. This book is all about embracing your natural gifts, living in your truth, and discovering your creative mission here on Earth. If you’re trying to understand your purpose, Radiant Wildheart is my #1 recommendation. You will feel seen, understood, and inspired to take action!
Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert
By now, you may be noticing themes in this book list around creativity, being courageous, and living in your truth. There’s a method to my list though. I believe that when you discover your calling and pursue it in a disciplined and creative way, that leads to self-mastery which is the ultimate life goal! Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear is all about finding the inspirational spark that leads to living a more creative and intentional life. Look for the magic and it will always find you.
Everyday Dharma by Suneel Gupta
If you’re at a point in life where you’ve reached career and financial success but still feel like something is missing, it may be time to pick up this book. Suneel Gupta’s Everyday Dharma is all about understanding that “outer success rarely leads to inner success and fulfillment.” If you believe that each of us has a unique purpose assigned to us before we arrive here on Earth, then you also know that it’s our duty to express that essence fully while we can. This is our everyday dharma and this book will help you figure out how to do just that!
Born to Shine by Kendra Scott
I’m a Texas girl, so I’ve probably been a Kendra Scott fan longer than most. I remember being gifted my very first Kendra Scott piece; a long-chained necklace with an iridescent white stone – a birthday gift from my ex-fiancé in 2014. She’s built an empire, she’s a visionary, and she’s a certified girl-boss! Born to Shine will take you on the journey of this self-made billionaire. It is a masterclass on how to navigate challenges as a woman in the workplace and business world, it provides insights on how to balance career, family, and friendships; but it doesn’t stop there! It also hits on facing insecurities and fears heads on as you leap into building the life of your dreams.
Planners
Here are a few of my favorite planners:
Making It Up As I Go Medium Planner
My favorite brand for personal planners is Ban.do. They are colorful, having lots of space for writing, and even include fun stickers. This Making It Up As I Go planner is for the girls who are literally just trying to figure it out as we go!
Pink Tulips Large Planner
This is another Ban.do find! If you’re looking for something a little more cutesy and demure than the previous option, this is the Pink Tulips planner for you! It’s spiral-bound and bigger than the first option, and includes more space for taking notes, writing out weekly/monthly goals, and annual milestones to remember!
2025 Medium Weekly Planner
If you guessed this would be another Ban.do, you would be correct! Branded in bright, bold colors, this 2025 planner may be more suitable for the corporate girlies and anyone who wants a more professional (but still festive) look for their planner.
Journals
Journaling has been essential to my self-care practice. I learn so much about myself and life when I disconnect from technology, social media, tv, etc. and process my thoughts, pen to paper. Here are some of my top journal recs:
She Owns Her Day Journal
Our She Owns Her Day Journal offers a blank slate to write about any and all things on your mind. Branded with our logo and lined pages, you will be inspired to pick this journal up in the morning and carry it around with you throughout the day. Pro tip – It can also double as a work notebook! A personal reminder during your meetings and presentations that YOU own your day!
A Journey to Myself Journal
If you’re more interested in a guided journal, this may be a good option for you. The Journey to Myself journal includes writing prompts that focus on building self-knowledge, self-awareness, self-care, and self-confidence. It’s a beautiful tool that can help you practice mindfulness, set daily intentions, and practice gratitude – the building blocks to living a more intentional life rooted in self-love!
Feel Your Best Guided Journal
Okay, don’t click away from the page but I have another Ban.do recommendation for you. This time it’s not a planner – it’s a guided journal! And one that I bought as a gift for someone I really love, so you know it’s good! The Feel Your Best journal is color colored and focuses on self-exploration, relaxation, achieving goals, and taking action. Dedicating a little time everyday to using it can lead to some monumental life changes. Don’t believe me? Give it a try!
Drink Ware
She Owns Her Day Coffee Mugs
Our She Owns Her Day Coffee Mugs are stylish and perfect for your morning coffee or tea. Adorned with our brand name, affirmations, and inspirational graphics, these coffee mugs are designed to accompany you in your next business meeting, creative project, or on a rainy day as you’re curled up with your favorite book. You’re a woman who owns your day, and your drink ware should reflect that.
Tumblers
Proper water intake ensures that our bodies are hydrated, able to carry nutrients, and flush toxins. We know all of this and sometimes still struggle to drink enough water, but having the right water bottle can help. A nice water bottle is a must-have for health-conscious women on the go! The Hydrapeak Stainless Steel Tumbler is one of my favorites that I carry with me everywhere.
Wellness Essentials
Here are a few of my everyday wellness essentials:
Apple AirPods Pro 2
My AirPods Pro 2 go with me everywhere – on travel adventures, morning walks, to work, on errands, sometimes I even fall asleep wearing them. They’re great for listening to audiobooks, meditative music, and the regular tunes too! I love the enhanced noise cancellation, audio clarity, and conversation awareness features these have to offer. In comparison to the AirPods Max, which I also have, these are superior.
Brooks Women’s Walking Shoes
Morning walks are a regular part of my wellness routine. I pop in my AirPods Pro and trek anywhere from two to four miles each time I go. My favorite walking shoes are the Brooks Women’s Glycerin Stealthfit 21s. They are sleek, provide cushion, stability, and come in really cute color ways! I’ve had two foot surgeries and have really narrow feet, so finding shoes that are comfortable can be a bit of a challenge for me. With all that said, I really think I hit the jackpot with these! In fact, when I wear these down, I’m pretty sure I will repurchase. I’m not a runner, but according to reviews, I hear they’re pretty good for that too! Definitely worth the investment if you’re looking for quality footwear.
Breville Compact Juicer
I started a natural health journey about a year ago and the Breville Compact Juicer is one of the essential products I continue to use. It’s small enough to store in my kitchen closet and powerful enough to juice apples, oranges, watermelon, kale, and so much more. I notice when I juice consistently, my skin glows from the inside out, I feel hydrated, and more energetic. It’s also a great way to use leftover produce in the fridge. Talk about a bang for your buck!
Travel Essentials
Coolife 3 Piece Luggage Set
If you’re going to purchase new luggage, I always recommend a set of three: a small carry-on, a mid-sized suitcase for when you need to pack a bit more, and a large case for those month long escapades when packing your whole wardrobe is a necessity. I’m a certified overpacker so I typically carry nothing less than a mid to large sized suitcase but it helps to have a carry-on when I need it too. You may be more of a light packer and so no matter your preference, this 3-Piece Coolife Luggage Set will ensure you’re always ready for your next adventure!
Veken 8 Piece Packing Cube Set
This packing cube set keeps clothes organized, compresses bulky items, and makes navigating your suitcase a lot easier when traveling. I got this Veken Packing Cube Set from Amazon which includes a laundry bag for dirty clothes, a shoe case that fits about three to four pairs of shoes, and separate cubes for underwear, bras, tops, and bottoms. A game-changer for frequent travelers. This brand offers tons of color ways and sets with more or less cubes, depending on your needs!
Coach Brooklyn Bag 39
Every traveler needs a stylish tote bag and the Coach Brooklyn Bag 39 is it! It’s large enough to hold a 15″ laptop, a notebook, phone, cosmetic bag, and wallet. It comes in several colors like maple brown, dark red, tan, and black and is made of the most buttery soft leather. Your next adventure awaits but not without your Coach Brooklyn Bag 39!
Passport cover
Add a touch of personal style to your international trips with this Lilly Pulitzer passport cover.
