It has been a while since I’ve done a currently loving post! I tend to get obsessed with things (the plight of the seven on the Enneagram) so it is fun to share those with you! Here is what I’m currently loving!
1. Coffitivity
I really need ambient noise to get through my work day sometimes but it isn’t always feasible to go somewhere. Sometimes I just don’t have the time (my work days are much shorter with Jett in kindergarten now), or I don’t want to spend the money at a coffee shop, or I just simply don’t feel like leaving the house. So when I discovered Coffitivity I was HOOKED! It plays coffeeshop background noise on a loop so even when I can’t or don’t want to leave the house, I can still stay focused with the ambient noise!
Unknown fact about me: I have no idea how to iron anything. I never learned, and never had the desire to either. Because once you learn, then you’re obligated to do it right? (Add also to that list, mopping.) But I kind of needed to start getting the wrinkles out of my clothes at some point as an adult, so I was stoked to learn that I can steam them out. Not only is it super easy (point 1, steamer) it is also incredibly cathartic! I have this portable steamer and really enjoy it. It works great, travels easily, and doesn’t require a lot of fuss!
Easter is my favorite holiday. I love the season it is in (spring!), the preparation for it (Lent!), and the service itself is always so joyful and pretty. But, I would be lying if I said that I didn’t also love it because of the annual appearance of Cadbury Mini Eggs. Why is Cadbury chocolate SO GOOD? I have to limit myself to one (okay, TWO) bags of these each year and I hide them from my family. Yum! I’m also thankful they are only around for a couple months out of the year 😉
4. Blue light blocking glasses
With the amount of hours I spend staring (pauses and remembers to put these on) at a computer screen every day, I really needed to get something to block all the blue light my eyes are absorbing! These are pretty cute, affordable, and lightweight – which were the only requirements I really had since I’ll only be wearing them in my office most of the time! Do you have these? I haven’t had them long enough to tell a huge difference (they are supposed to help with eye strain and migraines), but I’ll be sure to report back!
If you had told me last year that I’d need a clothing rack, I would have for sure laughed at you. But I cannot tell you how much easier this has made organizing and storing clothes that are coming and going out of my office constantly! I unbox things directly on to the rack, use it to steam, keep clothes organized (what to keep, sell, return, or giveaway) all in one tidy place and it has been a gamechanger!
6. Daisy Faye Designs Bow Scrunchies
Hi, the 90s called, and they want you to wear scrunchies again! Except this time they are made of chic fabrics and have cute little bows on them! These are my two faves right now (From Daisy Faye Designs, a fellow small business mama), and she has some other really pretty ones too!
Raise your hand if you love big earrings! Raise both hands if you love affordable jewelry! Well good news my friends – Plunder Designs has both! My friend recently started selling Plunder jewelry and I have to be honest, I was not interested until I thumbed through the catalogue and saw how affordable it all was! And then I promptly ordered several pieces to see what the quality was like and was pleasantly surprised when I got them! Have you tried Plunder?
So friends, what have you been loving currently?
I bought a pair of computer glasses a few months ago to see if helped with headaches/eye strain. I will say that since I pretty much stare at the computer all day for work – they have helped a lot. I also don’t do a lot of overhead lights (thankfully I have a lamp in my office along with 2 decent windows – so I don’t need the florescent lights). But I would say yes.. definitely worth it!!
