5 things that bring me joy this week

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

This week started off great, then it took a turn yesterday and I’m still recovering today… I am so ready for it to be over.

By the way, how was your holiday weekend? Ours was pretty good. The best part is that I did get to work on those DIY projects I’ve been meaning to (shared a peek on my Instagram stories), did plenty of cooking, did some shopping, and even organized my closet and took care of laundry. It was a productive Monday (mostly), and that’s just fine by me. It’s boiling here, so I have no desire to spend time outdoors when it’s like this. Yes, the heat is definitely worse this year…

That aside, here’s what’s bringing me joy this week:

rewatching The Outlaws, in preparation for season 3 coming out this Friday. I love this show! It was a bit slow at first, but it gets so good later on, and even better in season 2. Can’t wait to see what the new season brings.
these seashell hoop earrings. Totally on trend and adorable for the summer. I couldn’t resist them!
Trader Joe's Organic Lemon Torchietti Pasta (note that I’m linking for display purposes as I can’t find it on their website — this price is a ripoff). As an “all things” lemon-lover, this pasta is divine. I hope they make it a permanent product because this 100% brings joy!
apple pie. Yes, I know that’s an autumn thing, but I love apple pie. As it happens, I just baked one on Monday, and yes, we’re still enjoying it. Pie just brings joy, right?
this crochet lace midi dress. How cute is it?
