How I Started Making a Favorite Things List…
Earlier this year, I was preoccupied with my moving journey. However, this did not prevent me from finding even the smallest things bringing me delight. A list of my favorite things of the season will be anything: something I purchased, an activity or consuming a piece of media. I have been getting into the habit of creating a list of my favorite things after a period of time. By all means, I can romanticize my life and be thankful for the smallest, simplest things.
Here is my Spring List of 2024:
Fairytale Fragrance Mist from Bath and Body Works
Drinking Iced Coffee from a Mason Jar
- As a ‘Congratulations On Your Move’ gift, my coworkers presented me a basket full of goodies, including a selection of coffee. On this occasion, one of the bags, Goshen’s Tattoo Roast, came in whole beans. Consequently, I do not have a proper coffee grounder. In light of this situation, I created a cold brew by bringing it to a coarse ground with a food processor. After that, I poured a gallon of filtered water over the grounds in a giant mason jar, and let it steep room temperature for 24 hours.
Pentel Mechanical Pencils
- While I use a variety of pencils from Pentel, my go to is the GraphGear 500 Mechanical Pencils. I bought each tip size and it was totally worth it! My concept sketches have appeared more naturalistic with these.
The White Stones Album from Secret Garden
- Secret Garden has been one of my favorite new age groups after a friend introduced me to their music. I listen to them whenever I create. Recently, I attended a used book fair and found White Stones for only fifty cents! Obviously, I snatched it up (as if others were noticing it).
Establishing a Morning Yoga Routine
- One of my favorite YouTube channels is ‘Yoga with Adrienne‘. Her voice is so tranquil and furthermore, she encourages you to go at your own flow. I also love the occasional presence of her dog, Benji!
Conclusion
I hope you all gathered inspiration from my first published list of some favorite things in my life! Currently, I am creating a Favorite Things List Template that I would love to share with you! Please let me know what you have been interested in lately in the comments!
