Check the entire “5 things that bring me joy this week” weekly series here, a collection of seemingly insignificant things that serve as a reminder to appreciate the little things — those small joys that make a difference in our day-to-day.

Happy International Women’s Day, ladies! I hope you are appreciated today and every day!

We finally got WiFi and I’m excited to get back to watching a few shows and movies we’ve had on our list for a while now. I’m also happy that I don’t have to worry about my hotspot usage limit anymore. While it’s nice to do some things from the phone, others are just quicker when done from a computer, at least in my case… I guess I’m old school like that…

Apart from that big event haha, here’s the list of things that are bringing me joy this week:

• a clean home. I am one of those people that take pride in a clean home; it’s how I’ve been raised and it’s not something I want to change about myself. That’s not to say that our place is always picture-perfect but cleanliness sure brings me a lot of joy.

• strawberry season! It’s strawberry-everything here these days, and I just made this fresh strawberry cobbler recommended by a friend. Yum!

• this cute little rattan bag seen here. It’s perfect for the season and goes with pretty much everything — it’s so fun!

  I’m also loving these…

• these gorgeous pearl earrings. They look like cherry blossoms and are just so beautiful — I can’t wait to wear them! Note that they come in a variety of colors: I also love these, these, and these — they’re all simply stunning. In case you can’t tell, I’ve been utterly obsessed with pearls lately.

• the forecasted cooler days coming up. Fingers crossed they actually happen because the weather sure has been changing up a lot, but it’s just been too darn hot for February and in general. With that said, the idea of cooler weather sure brings joy right now.

What’s bringing YOU joy this week?

xo,
