Remember those early days of blogging when Canva didn’t exist, and we had to pull together mood boards using Photoshop? It took me hours of learning to navigate layers and “tools.” Still, I loved being able to pull together a board of my favorite things at the moment, and I still do.
This January, I’m in the mood for pink.
A pale pink dip manicure. Rose gold metals. Opaque pink plastics. I love all of it. And as a mom to three boys, I feel somewhat entitled to a few extra pink things in my life.
The edit for this month:
West Elm Finley Swivel Office Chair. This chair was a splurge for me, but I couldn’t shake how perfect the combination of pink grapefruit velvet and brass is for my little office nook. It would have been more practical (and easier on our budget) if I had purchased this chair from Article instead, but each vignette deserves a splurge piece.
Macbook Air in Gold. I set aside part of my paycheck last summer to buy myself a new laptop, just for writing and creative pursuits, and I don’t regret it at all. I believe in investing in yourself in tangible ways whenever possible.
Spiritual Gangster Breath Crop Tank Top. Like many moms now working remotely, my new uniform is athleisure. I’ve been loving tank tops by Spiritual Gangster lately, especially this one, because practice was my word for 2020 and a mantra of sorts for this decade.
Gouache Paint Set. I’m a huge fan of Anna Bond, not only her art but also how she’s built her company from the ground up, taking on collaborations strategically. This paint set is on my wish list. I don’t really have time for another hobby, but I love the idea of learning to paint with gouache a la Rifle Paper Co. I submitted stationary designs to Minted years ago, and someday I’d love to try my hand at that again.
Lascoota Scooter in Antique Pink. My friend Ashlee wrote about pink scooters in her last newsletter, and I was influenced. I clicked add to cart immediately. I’m an enneagram 3 who is great at work, but not at play. The vision of riding around at golden hour with my boys gave me shivers of joy.
Pink storage trays. Pink is my signature color, and I find a way to incorporate it into every room. I love seeing pops of pink in my drawers and cabinets. Of course, organization is always a goal at the beginning of the year, too.
