5 things that bring me joy this week

that’d be me running on the beach some years ago, on my bday…

You can check out the entire “5 things that bring me joy this week” weekly series here. It’s a collection of seemingly insignificant things that remind us to appreciate the little things—those small joys that make a difference in our daily lives.

How’s your week been so far? All good here as I’m a busy bee preparing for my b-day week! Yes, I’m in a good mood and ready to celebrate, so today’s list of 5 random things that bring me joy will be short and sweet — I hope you find something in it that does the same for you, or, why not, inspires you to put together your own!

Without further ado…

a rainy day. It’s been a while since we’ve had a rainy day, and I was so happy (and so was our way-too-dry earth) to get some steady precipitation for once. It brought me both peace and joy!
this dress I’m eagerly waiting for. It’s no news that I love a good shirtdress, and even more so if it comes with extra fabric, haha! I simply couldn’t resist this one and can’t wait to receive it! The thought of that flowy skirt brings me joy!
this bag (to pair with the dress above, for starters)! This unique and colorful bag just brings me joy!
cleaning my makeup brushes. Yes, it’s that time again (and consider this your friendly reminder to clean yours, too!). I just cleaned mine, and it never fails to give me that sense of joy and accomplishment. Plus, makeup does look better when applied with clean brushes!
b-day week! Enough said!
