October was full of a little bit of everything around here! I've been finding ways to make everyday routines a little easier, from upgrading my morning makeup routine and getting cozy at home to trying out new kitchen favorites and finding fun activities to enjoy with the kids. I also started getting a head start on Christmas, including family Advent devotionals and outfits for our holiday photos. As always, I've rounded up the things I've been loving lately—some practical finds, a few pretty things, and plenty worth sharing!
So, grab a cup of coffee or some tea, get comfy, and let’s dive into this month’s favorites!
Favorite Finds from October 2026
AquaSonic Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush
Oh. My. Word. This electric toothbrush is an absolute game changer! I genuinely feel like I just got home from a dental cleaning every time I use it because my teeth feel SO clean. I loved it so much that I bought one for my husband, too, and now he tells me almost every night how much he loves his!
I&R Beauty By Iris Makeup Bag Set
I've been using these makeup bags for a few months now, and I love how organized everything stays! I thought I'd love the popular lay-flat makeup bags, but I quickly realized I need a designated spot for everything, haha. These have lots of little interior pockets that make organizing makeup so much easier.
Illuminating Eye Balm
My husband actually picked this up for me, and I've been gatekeeping it for a little while because it's SO good! This illuminating eye balm helps brighten those tired-looking under-eyes and cover my dark circles. I apply it before my regular concealer, and it's become a must-have in my makeup routine.
Tarte Shape Tape Blur Concealer Stick
A new favorite in my makeup routine! This Shape Tape Blur Concealer Stick glides on so smoothly and blends beautifully for easy everyday coverage. Definitely one I'll be reaching for again and again!
Tarte Shape Tape Blur Concealer Brush
I picked up this concealer brush as part of a set with my new favorite Tarte concealer, and it's such a good pairing! It blends everything out so smoothly and makes applying concealer quick and easy.
Electric Multi-Cooker
This electric multi-cooker takes my usual crockpot meals to a whole new level! I especially love being able to sauté vegetables right in the pot before making soup, plus the automatic timer and keep-warm setting help keep everything ready to serve without overcooking.
Slow Cooker Insulated Carrier
I grabbed this insulated slow cooker carrier so I could easily bring my new multi-cooker along for a girls' weekend, and it worked perfectly! The adjustable fit and velcro strap over the top accommodate different lid styles, and my soup was still piping hot after more than an hour of travel. Such a practical find for taking meals on the go!
Portable Charcuterie Board with Lid
This is my second wooden charcuterie board with a lid, but I specifically wanted one with a large, open surface instead of divided compartments. I love having more room to get creative with arranging cheese, crackers, fruit, and all the little extras for a pretty charcuterie spread!
Marble & Gold Cheese Knife Set
How darling is this gold cheese knife set with marble handles?! It looks so much more expensive than it actually is, and I love that it includes more than just cheese knives—there are spreaders, honeycomb sticks, tongs, forks, spoons, and more. Such a pretty addition to your charcuterie or entertaining essentials!
Oversized Mock Neck Hoodie Sweatshirt
My newest hoodie, and I'm already obsessed! I love the oversized fit and mock neck that pulls up to keep my face warm, plus it still has a hood for extra coziness. Even my husband has been complimenting this one!
Geometry Bangle Watch Bracelet for Apple Watch
Such a beautiful upgrade for my Apple Watch! This bangle-style watch band makes it feel a little more dressed up and is perfect for wearing to church, date night, or any occasion when I want something prettier than my everyday sport band. Use code SIMPLEMODESTMOM for 15% off!
Memory Foam & Down Alternative Bed Pillow
After accidentally leaving my favorite Coop adjustable pillow at an Airbnb, I grabbed this Casaluna pillow from Target as a last-minute replacement—and I think I love it even more! The combination of memory foam and down alternative makes it wonderfully comfortable for side sleeping. It's not adjustable like my old pillow, but it's become a new favorite (especially with my favorite silk pillowcase!).
Rotating Puzzle Board
This puzzle board isn't exactly travel-friendly, but I couldn't resist bringing it along for our girls' weekend because it's my favorite way to work on a puzzle! I specifically wanted the white background to make the pieces easier to see, and the rotating board is SO convenient. It also has built-in side trays to keep puzzle pieces organized!
1canoe2 Puzzles
I think these are some of the prettiest puzzles! I picked up a bunch of 1canoe2 puzzles last season and love having a few 500-piece options that are beautiful to look at but still manageable to finish in a shorter amount of time. Perfect for a cozy night at home or a girls' weekend!
Full Back & Shoulders Heating Pad
With all the extra computer work I've been doing lately, this full-back and shoulder heating pad has been an absolute gem! I love having the extra coverage to help me relax and unwind after a long day at my desk.
Farmhouse Soup and Sandwich Set
My favorite soup bowl and plate combo! I love having the matching plate for a slice of crusty bread or a sandwich alongside my soup. Such a cute and practical set for cozy lunches and dinners at home.
Tovla Jr. Kids Real Cooking & Baking Sets
I recently got the Tovla Jr. candy-making set to try out before the holidays and include in my Christmas gift guides, and my kids had SO much fun making their own candy! It comes with recipe cards, easy-to-follow instructions, and all the supplies you need. This brand has some really fun cooking and baking kits for creative kids, so definitely worth checking out for Christmas gifts!
Daily Grace Co. Advent Studies
I've learned my lesson about waiting too long to shop for Advent Bible studies and devotionals, so I'm getting an early start this year! I picked out Joy of Every Longing Heart for my own Advent study and The Advent Storybook Family Devotional to enjoy with my kids. I love having something intentional to help our family keep Christ at the center of the Christmas season.
Christmas Photo Outfits
Sharing a little roundup of the Christmas sweaters and outfits I picked out for our family Christmas card photos this year! I'm hoping to get our pictures taken and cards ordered this month, so fingers crossed everything comes together. I always love finding coordinating outfits that feel festive without being too matchy-matchy!
Those are my Favorite Finds from October! This month was a fun mix of everyday favorites, cozy home finds, kitchen upgrades, and a few things to make family life a little easier and more enjoyable. I'm also starting to get into the Christmas spirit with Advent devotionals and family photo outfit planning, because somehow the holiday season always sneaks up on us! 😂 Whether you're looking for a new beauty favorite, something cozy for home, a fun activity to enjoy with the kids, or a little inspiration for the season ahead, I hope you found something worth adding to your own list.
