THINGS WE LOVE

We’re excited to bring you a recap of our favorite new TULA Scoop feature, where we take turns highlighting a few things we’re loving at the moment! We’d also love to hear what you’re loving—so feel free to send us a note and a link, and we might just feature it. After all, nothing beats sharing the love!

Megan’s Picks:

📖 Hot Read: The Fourth Wing

And I do mean hot... haha. My sister recommended this book (there are three in the series), and since I hadn’t finished a book in over a year, I didn’t think I’d get through it. But I did. In record time. Think Hunger Games but a little spicier—with more dragons. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but... 5 stars. Highly recommend!

🌿 Hot Take: Landscape Design

Okay, this might be a tiny bit of a shameless plug, but you'll thank me! My husband owns the incredible landscape design company Ivy Street Design. They’re based in Denver but create stunning, sustainable landscapes for people all over! I’m currently working with them on our front yard design, and the process has been seamless. If you're considering a landscape upgrade, check them out!

💧 Hot Drink: Unwell Hydration

I’m a total sucker for great branding and design, so these had me hooked the moment I saw them. Turns out, they taste amazing and pack an extra boost of electrolytes—because honestly, who couldn’t use more hydration? Besides delegating what doesn’t serve you (ahem, go ahead and send those TO-DOs to TULA), staying hydrated is pretty high on the life advice list!

Bonus: The founder of Unwell is also the host of the hilarious Call Her Daddy podcast—highly recommend!

🖤 Lululemon Leggings

Not exactly new to the scene, but the Nulu fabric is next-level—like butter. I live in these. My family might even say I wear them too much. Perfect for workouts, errands, travel—basically everything! If you want a more budget-friendly option, check out these Amazon dupes that are getting rave reviews.

👓 Look Optics Readers

It took me a while to admit I needed these, but after months of holding menus at arm’s length, I finally caved. Now, I’m embracing cute glasses and being able to read menus again. Win-win!

🧦 Lululemon Socks

Yes, I’m talking about socks. And no, I’m not sorry. Fresh, crisp socks are one of my favorite things ever, and these feel extra fresh. Plus, according to my 12-year-old, they’re "sigma."

🎁 Custom Wrapping Paper

It’s that time of year! I love planning out my wrapping theme, and this year—it’s personal. The girls' gifts will be wrapped in paper printed with their names, and I might be a little too excited about it.

🔋 Portable Phone Charger

Typing this at the airport while staring at my dying phone battery... yep, forgot my charger. Boo. This one is super fast, lightweight, sticks to your phone, and the bright colors make it easy to find in your bag!

🎒 TOPO Travel Bag Organizer

Speaking of travel… these TOPO accessory bags are a game changer. I have one for everyone in my family. They keep chargers, cords, AirPods, chapstick, snacks—everything—together. Just zip it up and toss it in your bag. Bonus: TOPO is a Denver-based brand, and we love supporting hometown businesses!

Cody’s Picks:

🎭 Biodance Real Deep Mask

After stocking up on skincare in South Korea (the unofficial skincare capital of the world), I ran out of my beloved masks. Lucky for you (and me), I just discovered you can order them on Amazon! I sleep in one of these once a week, and my skin glows after. Enjoy!

💃 Moms Feelin’ Themselves

The gals behind this brand are just the coolest. We have had the pleasure of working with them on a few giveaways and collabs- and just absolutely love the energy they bring and the cause they support. In their own words, "we seek to release moms from the grind of daily motherhood, the overwhelm of the mental load, the rigidity of nap schedules and the drudgery of the laundry through our community events and other offerings." As an event gal myself- I can confirm they definitely know how to throw a party.

👕 COMFRT Sweat Suits

I know there are tons of luxe sweatsuits out there, but my husband gifted me a full COMFRT set for Valentine’s Day (yes, really—keeping things spicy!). And I love it. Super thick, cozy, but not bulky. Even better? They have matching sets for kids!

👗 Nuuly Clothing Rental

In 2023, I committed to not buying anything new for myself. Enter: Nuuly. I rent clothes I wouldn’t normally buy for special occasions, trips, or everyday wear—and I’ve become much more intentional about my purchases. Highly recommend!

📸 Tamara McTavish Photography

Family photos can feel like a chore, but I was reminded this year how much I love having professional pictures. If you’re in Denver, Tamara is the best—whether for family, business, or branding shots!

📦 Pretty Simple Woven Bum Bag

These give Clare V. vibes without the price tag. Well-made, cute liner, and you can swap out the strap for a fresh look. Bonus: It’s a woman-owned business—yes, please!

📝 Kraft Paper

So simple, but always useful. My go-to for holiday and birthday wrapping, table runners, and rainy day activities. Pro tip: Tape it to the floor or table and let the kids decorate it!

📍 Wanderlog

Our family’s trip-planning secret weapon! We’re heading to South Korea soon, and this app keeps everything organized—flights, hotels, reservations, itineraries, must-visit spots. Highly recommend!

💄 Hero Rescue Balm

Random? Yes. But trust me—this stuff is magic. I have naturally red skin, and somehow, this balm evens everything out without feeling heavy. If you like a no-makeup look, give it a try!
