5 things that bring me joy this week

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.

Yep, the week before and after a holiday are kind of weird. Does anyone else feel groggy these days? Going with the flow? Just me?

I hope you had a nice holiday. We managed to relax and do things for the soul, as they say, so no complaints here. Plus, we managed to watch a few movies and wrapped two TV shows, so I guess we’ve been busy, haha.

As I’m working off the post-holiday slump, here are some things that are bringing me joy this week:

figuring out some of our summer plans! The heat is infernal, and it won’t get any better here heading into the summer months, so looking for indoor things to do is high-priority. This just took care of some of our summer Sundays, and I’m excited!
this leather bag in black. No, I haven’t bought it yet, but it looks so good!
this shampoo. It’s not the first time this shampoo has made this list, but it’s truly a lovely experience. I especially love using it after the gym as it’s perfectly refreshing and cooling. Plus, the smell really does bring me joy! A mini spa experience at home.
these leather belts I bought. I haven’t received them yet, but I’m excited about them as they’re somewhat unique.
sleep time. I don’t know about you, but I do look forward to going to sleep every night, getting settled, and finally falling asleep. Especially so, if good dreams are involved.
