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.
February was short but sweet! It was a busy month from working in NYC, a few celebrations, to the last of winter weather.
January was a very busy month and starting fresh for the new year always feels exciting. In this post, I am sharing with you some things I discovered, liked, and read during January.
It is easy to say Goodbye to the previous year, and I have done that year after year, but I want to revise this and say Thank You 2024, not Goodbye. The thing about goodbyes is that they seem final, as if a door has been shut and is not to be opened. This past year was one of many emotions, high and low moments, growth, and love. I have learned a lot this past year and felt the growth as the year progressed. There is always much to be grateful for, so I share some of these moments with you.
Sharing what I read throughout the previous year is by far one of my favorite posts to write. I gained a sense of satisfaction from another year of reading new books and seeking new knowledge or just for pleasure, which means that I continued to do one thing that relaxes me the most, reading. See everything that I read in 2024 and what I look forward to reading in 2025.
