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.

Hello friends! I hope your week is going well so far, and only gets better. We’re having an exciting one as a few things are happening around here.

With that said, I will keep this short and jump straight into this week’s list of things that bring me joy. I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to make your own:

• all the cake I’m going to be eating this week😊 ! Yes, it will come with some regret once I can “feel” it, but we’ll think of that later, and enjoy the moment now!

• this bouquet I made of pink and white carnations and these unknown-to-me-yet tiny flowers. It brings me so much joy!

• this “instant” de-frizzer. I mean… wow, what took me so long to try it? This stuff is amazing at taming frizz (even during a Florida rainstorm). So yes, it brings me joy that my hair is staying put during these humid days (summers in Florida, #amiright?). Just note that it has a strong scent that *lasts*. If you’re sensitive to smells maybe skip this one... Otherwise, this product is great even for my fine, easily-gets-oily-hair.

• these earrings I just found and can’t stop thinking about! They’re stunning and I’m seeing some turquoise in my future!

• this morning’s thunderstorm! Sure, I would have liked to sleep longer, but I didn’t mind *as much* being awakened by thunder and rain. Especially as it’s been a while, and you know I love the rain!

What’s bringing YOU joy this week?
