I know, I know. Things don’t make us happy. True happiness comes from our relationships and living in close community, and lots of other things.
But…sometimes you find things and experiences that add to your happiness and interest in life. And these are a few of the things that have been adding to my summer vibes lately.
Finding a v-neck that is inexpensive and comfortable
I feel like for years I’ve been on the hunt for the most comfortable, wearable and cute v-neck tees to dress up or dress down. I love a good v-neck, but they can be tricky to find. I have a few from Everlane that I like, but I just discovered these wonders from Target. On sale, comfy and a range of colors. Score!
Spending cool evenings reading on the porch
I’ve been finding a great way to relax and enjoy the back porch is by spending 30 minutes to an hour outside right before the sun sets to enjoy the surroundings. I grab my current library read and enjoy the cool night breeze.
Discovering new sparkling waters to try
Like many others, I’ve really got into sparkling waters in the past year. What’s really fun is finding various types of tasty waters to try. I just discovered that my grocery store carries Mout Valley’s sparkling water, so I’ve been enjoying a bit of this bubbly water in the afternoon at work. Also, it’s from my hometown, so that’s pretty neat.
A fresh, new computer background
You know that feeling when you find a new desktop background that fits you perfectly?! I just re-discovered some really great ones on Design Love Fest. Check out the lemon one!
New landscaping projects!
I know this is super #adulting, but my husband and I have really enjoyed spending weekend time landscaping. We just extended our patio, so last weekend we trekked to a local landscaping place and farmers market to gather plants, shrubs and herbs to make our yard our own.
