I’m randomly in a really wonderful mood today and am appreciating a whole bunch of little things bringing me joy:
Nespresso’s iced coconut coffee out of a beautiful Anthropologie mug
switching over to summertime candles (currently burning the ol’ stalwart, Capri Blue Volcano)
new leaves popping on my fiddle leaf fig
seeing the pool open (still empty, but still!) on my building’s terrace
a hot streak of really impactful reading - both positive and negative - with Jennifer Saint’s “Ariadne,” Shana Abe’s “The Second Mrs. Astor,” and, currently, my beloved Ann Patchett’s “The Patron Saint of Liars”
lots of fun with home cocktails - Tattersall’s mixes, Camp Cocktails’ infused vodka kits, and hopefully a home version of the delicious Coasterra coconut margarita Laura and I enjoyed the day before her wedding in April
Bou feeling much more normal after a scary few days rehabbing a back injury
a gorgeous new perfume, Agua de Sevilla, courtesy of my mama on her trip to Spain with my dad last week - it smells like orange blossoms and sunshine and I’m addicted
Also courtesy of their trip - eight perfect Laduree macarons that my parents picked up for me at Charles de Gaulle on their Paris layover heading home
a few new swimsuits headed to me in the mail to fit the post-pandemic body I’m currently working with…and a few more trips to the gym coming down the pipeline to feel better about said body :)
