Welcome!

Rel’s Recs was born out of my passion for helping people discover things that make their lives better, whether that’s a perfectly numbing chili crisp, a face SPF that’s actually nice to wear, a one-bowl challah recipe for your next dinner party, or a pill case to make your daily dose feel less heavy. (A passion for pep talks too.)

It’s free to read Rel’s Recs but if you’re able, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. Being a paid subscriber not only gives you access to my full archives, it automatically enters you into amazing monthly giveaways, and supports my work and my business. Plus, it costs less than a medium Dunkin iced every month. So what do you say? Buy me a coffee. It would mean the world.

That being said, if you ever find a post you want to read that’s paywalled and the cost is prohibitive, please reach out and I will open it up for you.

Another aspect of Rel’s Recs is that if you need a specific recommendation, I’m here to help you out. Got a tough-to-shop-for mother-in-law? A persnickety uncle? DM me on Substack, Instagram, wherever. I will help you solve the puzzle.

PS. Not sure where to start? Here are some posts to dig into:
