a few of my favorite things
Hey friends, how is it still January?! While this month has been full of wonderful moments- my oldest turned 15, my youngest turned 9- it has also been really, really long!!
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to share a little “favorite things” list for ages, and now feels like the perfect time. Just a few simple joys that are getting me through this week (and this endless month). Hopefully, they’ll give you a little boost too. And hey—tell me what’s on your “bringing me joy” list, I’d love to hear!
🕯 Lighting candles with matches. There’s something about the smell of a match—it makes lighting candles feel extra special. And yes, I’m all about burning the “good” candles. Use them! Life’s too short.
😻 Kitten Shenanigans. Our sweet little Rue has been bringing so much joy to the house lately! Her silly kitten antics and playful energy are endlessly entertaining, and her super cuddly moments? Absolute heart-melters. She’s got everyone wrapped around her tiny paws.
💄 Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment (Original). This has been a lifesaver for my winter lips. It’s simple, moisturizing, and so easy to toss in a bag.
🎧 Audiobooks. I’m a sucker for a good RomCom—Happily Ever Afters are my favorite. I’ve finished 8 audiobooks this month (yes, 8!), and my top two favorites were: Ready or Not by Cara Bastone (so good!!) and Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory Marlowe. Ready or Not was my favorite- the story, the narrator, everything about it was just so good!
