reading. Considering how stressful this month has been, there’s no wonder that reading is bringing joy these days. If you’re looking for book recommendations, check this list I compiled. Do you have any books to add to it?
my planner. I’m using a basic one since I’m trying to establish a routine with consistently using one versus keeping stuff in my head/email/notes app. Also, it feels good to cross things off my list throughout the day.
seeing that this post helped so many of you. It is still one of my top posts and google results, and, yes, it brings joy in helping you find solutions to a problem many of us linen and dress lovers face.
falling asleep to rain last night. You guys know that I love the rain, so falling asleep to that felt calming and eased my mind into dozing off.
