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.

The paradox of long weekends leading to long weeks never fails, and I have been dragging my feet this week already. I’m in a permanent state of “too little sleep” during the week, with somewhat successful attempts to catch up on the weekends. Powering through until then…

Here are the 5 things that are bringing me joy this week:

  • this mosaic print shirt dress is bringing me a lot of joy right now — yup, I sure do have a thing for mosaic tile prints. It already sold out at one retailer, so grab it if you want it! More details about it are coming soon on the blog.

  • papaya and cantaloupe season. This might be understated as I think it’s always their season here but I’ve been indulging lately. And to think that I absolutely hated papaya the first time I tried it…

  • new summer pajamas set! There’s just something about new cotton pjs that brings joy and I really love their styles.

  • surviving Monday on only one cup of coffee. Yes, Monday was a holiday but over here, it was a day full of productivity. Making it through with just one cup of coffee sure is something to celebrate as I try to limit my overall intake.

  • transplanting my Zinnias. Without much thinking, I bought some zinnia seeds sometime in April, and well, the seedlings were screaming to make it out of their initial [small] pot. Now I’m looking forward to them growing and producing flowers, and that thought sure brings me joy. Actual flowers grown on my balcony? Fingers crossed!

What’s bringing YOU joy this week?
