For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved discovering things that bring joy, ease, or meaning to everyday life. Whether it was a well-crafted book, a thoughtfully designed product, or an unforgettable experience, I’ve always believed that the things we choose should enrich our lives—not just fill space. But as I searched for recommendations, I found a sea of paid promotions, biased reviews, and marketing noise, making it hard to know what was truly worth it.

That’s when I realized: I wanted something different. A space where real experiences mattered more than sales tactics, where honesty and joy led the way, and where people could make choices with confidence and clarity. That’s how I Chose This One was born.

At first, this journey started with just me, sharing what I found valuable, beautiful, and worth celebrating. Hopefully, my daughter will join me one day, as she has a wonderful talent for finding joyful experiences and describing them in a way that makes you feel them too. In time, I hope this space grows into a community of like-minded people who value transparency, authenticity, and the simple joy of making great choices that truly enhance life.

I also recognize that not everyone experiences joy in the same way. What works beautifully for me may not work for you, and that’s okay. My intention is simply to share what I have found aligns with my values and brings happiness, in the hope that if you’re looking for something similar, you might find a helpful starting point here. I always recommend doing your own personal due diligence when making choices, but if my experiences can help guide you toward something that makes your life a little brighter, then this space has served its purpose.
