1. Walking in my neighborhood
What is it about not seeing the sun for weeks that you see everything outside in a new light? I went for a walk the other day and every view I’ve seen a million times looked fresh and new. Oh, and the flowers! They were so beautiful that I might even have cried a little.
2. Sequins
I’ve been trying to dress up in neutral tones for a few years now, but really I just want to wear sequins. Damn it. Day.

3. The waterfall hike in my town
Because of all the rain lately, the falls on this hike were amazing!
4. Easy meatless snacks and meals that don’t require any effort
These two have been alternating throughout the week.
For a snack, I like Trader Joe’s Eggplant with Tomato and Onion with Simple Mills Gluten Free Fast Crackers. I know the eggplant looks kinda gross, but it’s actually REALLY good…
For lunch, I love rice ramen noodles (I use Lotus Foods) in vegetable broth with spinach and edamame. Sometimes I add a little soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil for extra flavor.
Side note: do you have a meatless lunch? Let me know!
5. All the shine!
I’m definitely going through a lip gloss phase and am determined to find a gloss that makes my heart sing.

What have you loved lately?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
