10 Things I'm Loving Right Now

I really love making my daily experience one that’s filled with beautiful things. I enjoy experiencing rad places and meeting new people while traveling / exploring. And I LOVE sharing my discoveries, too. I love hosting, giving recommendations, and sharing in the joy of experiencing something awesome, new, and gorgeous with the people in my life.

I love fragrances. There’s nothing like walking into a room that smells incredible. I like my space to always smell good— it’s definitely an ingredient to my creative cycle. This is one of my fave candles right now :) If you ever visit my house, you’ll find a huge cabinet full of new candles that I stumbled upon while out shopping or traveling.

 
 

Isaac and I stumbled upon this California-based clothing store this past weekend and the sweatshirt I bought is already a favorite. Not only are their clothes comfortable, but we also really hit it off with the owner, Bobbie, who started this company recently.  From their website: “Willbo is a premium lifestyle company that celebrates life, play and home in the West.” I’m excited to support a rad and local clothing company and wear this sweatshirt basically every day.

It’s winter here in the US, which means my hands are pretty dry. This lotion is one of my go-tos ever since using it during a hotel stay in London. It brings me back to the rainy, cozy, and romantic streets of London in February of 2017.

 
 

For those of you who know about Whole30, this Whole30 Approved almond milk cream cheese is going to be a huge game changer to your Whole30 program! They recently became Whole30 Approved, which means they are compatible with the Whole30 program now! I’m quite obsessed with the chive flavor. Knowing that the ingredients in this cream cheese are whole and nutrient-dense makes me feel so grateful we live in a time where healthy food options can also be incredibly delicious.

I’m exploring wearing different types of clothes because I’m pumped to become a plus-size model. This journey has helped me learn about some really cool brands: from boho chic brands like Johnny Was to freaking VUORI! My vuori hat and shorts are some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe right now. My shorts are perfect for workouts, hikes, and lounging around—they are incredibly soft. Check out this brand if you haven’t already!

 
 

I’m always looking for solid Whole30 approved snacks because I know they go through a rigorous process to become Whole30 approved. When we travel, I like to eat as healthy as I can—and that includes snacking! I’m obsessed with the spicy chicken sticks from this brand! YUM!

This song came up on my Spotify randomly and it’s really lovely. I love music that makes me feel good and hopeful, and this song does that. It’s whimsical and makes me feel like I’m next to Mary Poppins while she’s writing in her diary. 

 

We went on a little vacation to wine country last week and stopped at this cute boutique grocer in the heart of Napa Valley. Not only did they sell really great cheeses, wines, sandwiches, and woodfired pizza, the whole environment was lovely with picnic tables outside and beautiful views of the mountains in the distance.

 

On that same vacation, we stayed a night in San Francisco and ate at an incredible Nepalese restaurant in the Mission District. Literally every bite of each of our meals was delectable.

Last but not least, I’ve been learning more about skin care the last 6 months (still an amateur, for sure) and my new obsession is this serum a friend recommended. It smells incredible and makes my skin feel gloriously hydrated.

I hope you enjoyed my list of 10 things I’m loving! I love A LOT of things right now, but these are some of them :) I’d love to hear which ones you resonate with most and are excited to try!

Consensual Hugs!
