New year, and new favorites to share! Last year, I started recapping everything I used and loved during the month, which became one of my favorite posts to write. It made me think about the changes I made to my routine, what older items I was gravitating towards, and it was satisfying to share items that made me happy or improved my makeup routine, etc. Here’s everything I loved in January and February.
Sharing what I read during the previous year is always my favorite post to write. I love discovering new books that will change you, make you think, and are exciting, romantic, or so good that you know they will live rent-free in your head.
Here we are! The end of 2025 is in sight with less than two days left. I think we can all agree that this year was, to put it mildly, interesting. Some of us may have lost a job, a loved one, ended a relationship, moved away from family, or struggled with other personal situations. While there may have been some not-so-favorable moments, there may have been good ones, too. A promotion, welcoming of new babies, a dream purchase, or even reaching a goal you set for yourself last year. I look forward to putting the year to rest and forging forward. Here are five ways to help start the year right.
November is the month of gratitude, coziness, and that perfect ‘in-between’ feeling before the big holiday rush. It was a month where I really leaned into comfort and found a few little things that truly enhanced my everyday life. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference, right? From a ridiculously warm sweater to the music that I listened to while I worked on the blog, these are the items and moments I enjoyed. Let’s talk about my November Favorites!
What a month October was! It was one filled with lots of events and family time. We are now in the last few months of the year, and I am determined to make the most of these days before entering the new year. Here are some things I enjoyed during the month of October.
Sweet sweet September! It was a wonderful month for so many reasons. It marked the beginning of something new for my family, and it was the kiss goodbye to summer for now and a warm welcome to fall.
Many years ago, when I discovered the podcast The Simple Sophisticate, I fell in love with the idea of “petite pleasures.” Something small you may do or obtain for yourself that makes your life enjoyable or feel slightly elevated. I am sharing with you a few things I love that make my life feel a little more luxe, and as a bonus, I added some inspiration so you can too.
And just like that, September is here! The tail end of summer has been flying by quickly. It’s all in the subtle changes of temperature and the leaves falling from the trees as the wind blows. I have had a unique summer, one that included some travel, some home updates, a lot of reading, and time for reflection. Going into this next season, I really want to embrace all that has been accomplished so far this year and understand that there is still time to tick off some items on the to-do list.
Another month end, and another recap of my favorites. In May, the weather warmed up with days that surprised us for what’s to come this summer. While I did not need to do much shopping for spring or summer items, I did purchase a few pieces I have been wearing and using a lot lately.
So many favorites to share over the last few months, as I did not do a recap in March! I enjoyed a new book, getting back into an exercise routine, and wearing the perfect spring shoes.
