Hello there friends, family, and tribe. If you’re like me, sometimes you like just looking at pretty things. Sometimes they are home decor related, beauty, or completely random. Sometimes I buy them and often I just look and get inspired. When thinking about my instagram and blog, I realized that half the time, I love just being inspired by beautifully curated things that encourage beauty in my home and life. Deep I know. But with the thoughts swirling around in this teacher summer brain, I’m ready to create and create a little inspiration in your life too. Therefore the Wednesday wish or watch list has been born.
I can’t necessarily commit to posting every week but my goal is at least twice a month. I want to show you the items either sitting in my wish list cart (does anyone else do this and just let it sit there for weeks while you decide if you should buy or not?!), are currently a part of my everyday life and home, or just sit there for inspiration in my life. The impact for you is up to you!
Wednesday Wish List: Week 1
- If you’ve been following me on instagram (which you should…) then you may have noticed my obsession with plants lately. Since moving into our house, I have found this new love for plants EVERYWHERE. Front porch, side of our house, inside the house, on the patio, and now my new garden outside. I love going and checking on them like they are my little babies and seeing how they are growing and developing. I am real deep into google questions and have learned so much already. When I started gardening, I bought myself $3 gardening gloves from the target dollar spot and have already lost them. Boo! Since I am growing yellow squash and they prickly stems, I need some good (and cute) gardening gloves. Who else better than Anthro to go to? I hope to get these soon so I can stop poking myself!
- This is for sure a hot conversation and topic in my mind. I constantly struggle (as you probably do too) with the “splurge and treat yo’ self” mentality and the “live in the moment” mentality. These nightstands are just that. I’ve been wanting them for months but haven’t pulled the trigger because we already have nightstands that are functional, but I don’t love them. We’ve had them for 4 years (which seems old to me) and I’m ready for something new. But at the price they are at, I should probably just snag them because they are beautiful, neutral, and would perfectly fit in my vision for our master bedroom.
- I don’t think its any surprise to you how much I love the color white. If I’m going to bring in another color in my home, it will be grey, olive, wood tones, and you guessed it… blue. There isn’t much explanation needed for this beautiful tablecloth that would make an excellent addition to our summer dining table.
- Remember in the 90s when we all wore scrunchies? Yah well that time is back and I’m totally loving it. I am all about supporting small businesses (thanks Dad!) and and today I want to feature one that I’m totally obsessed with. Calico Trends is a small business that sells scrunchies of different sizes + patterns. If you have a young daughter, you must buy the mini scrunchies for me. They are classic + simple fabrics that I love and think you will too!
- Over the years I have used essential oils throughout my house, for yoga, stress, sleep, and anxiety. About 6 months ago I got this diffuser and I love it. It works so much better than my cheap amazon ones and it has colors you can set along with music. I like setting a neutral color when using oils like lime or lemon in the kitchen but if I’m using it at night in my bedroom, I might switch it to blue or purple which also adds to the mood and relaxation. More on oils later but for now if you need one, check this guy out. I couldn’t be happier and I’m glad I spent money on a quality one!
I hope you enjoyed this new mini series. I’d love to hear more about your mini wish lists in your mind. See you next time!
