these are my top home purchases

These are my top home purchases, not from October, not from 2026, but from the past decade. What are my credentials? I'm 31 years old. I genuinely love almost every single thing in my house because I have done a lot of research. We don't re-buy things. We buy one thing and it lasts for a really long time. We're starting off with my favorite purchase of all time. This is the Rancilio Silvia. I am obsessed. It is the best espresso machine. We just upgraded to this one, I think, last year, but before that we had a 20-year-old Rancilio Silvia that we were actually able to sell because it still was in perfect running shape, even though it was 20 years old. Like this thing is not going to break. This water pitcher is the LifeStraw water pitcher and it actually filters for microplastics, which was really hard to find. I am all about beeswax candles. They're non-toxic and they actually smell like very good and sweet even when they're unscented. This candle holder was gifted to me and I love it. I love my KitchenAid mixer so much. About three years ago, someone posted this exact KitchenAid and was like, I can tell when you were married because you've got the, basically like, I can tell that you were married like 10 years ago because this KitchenAid mixer is so dated. Um, funny enough, that was like three years ago. Well, guess what? This year spearmint is back, baby! The 2026 KitchenAid mixer color of the year is very close to this color. And that's just to show, fads come and go, but the KitchenAid mixer lasts forever. Pick a fun color. Who cares if it shows when you were married? Being married is cute. Being married for a long time is awesome. This is from 2017 and it is going strong. For my kids, I've switched over to stainless steel things because I did originally have some plastic things, like plastic water bottles and things, and it just kind of started to smell. Um, these are dishwasher safe and they never get a smell. It's perfect. This is my favorite spot to be in the house. This is a rocking chair we got when my youngest was first, or sorry, when my oldest was first born. This is a just a nice leather rocking chair. What I love about it is is that it doesn't look very nursery. Even when my kids are like 20 years old, I'm still, I'm still gonna be rocking in this chair. Okay, my pot and pan collection. I mostly cook in Le Creuset. I've gathered these over the last over a decade. You can tell they do not all match and that's okay. They are well loved and they are holding up and they are gonna do so great. This one is a perfect Dutch oven for cooking bread and even like big soups. Um, this one is perfect for like meat easy and then um, sauces. This right here, this is like a 15, 20 dollar cast iron skillet. We got this for our wedding in 2017 and it is going so well. I think this will last us like the next 50 years. Uh, it was only $20. I'll link it. And finally, I've had this Vitruvi diffuser. Let's see, can you see the, see that? I had a few other diffusers before this one and they broke and then I got this and it has lasted me years. They also have really good essential oils. This one's my favorite.
