It’s been raining every day since we got back from the beach. Ugh. I’m channeling sunny thoughts and sharing a few current favorite things that have been brightening my life lately, in no particular order…

01 // The Magnolia Journal
Confession: I am not a fan of Fixer-Upper. I have seen all of two episodes in my life. But my mom got me a subscription to Joanna Gaines magazine The Magnolia Journal for Christmas, and after two issues, I’m completely hooked. Good recipes, fun finds, interesting articles. There’s just something wonderful about turning fine matte paper between your fingers that the internets can’t touch.

Favorites from the spring edition : Chip & Joanna’s summer favs, all the peach recipes, the tips on growing tomatoes, how to throw a summer movie night, and the beautiful feature on Sara Brawner (@skbrawner).

02 // This Toasted Coconut Candle from Target
I am a big fan of candles, especially on rainy mornings. My all time favs are from Anthropologie, but if you’re looking for a more cost friendly version, this line from Target fits the bill. My best scent is the mint green candle (smells just like my fav from Anthro), but the Toasted Coconut is a close second.

03 // Natural Glow from Jergens
Could just be my imagination, but it feels like we are having the rainiest spring ever. I need the sun in my life. I miss it terribly. At least this wonderful little moisturizer makes me feel (and look) sun-kissed, even when reality is far from it. And bonus : it smells amazing too. Thank you Jergens.
