Here’s a roundup of things I’m loving right now. I’ve included seasonal recipes, favorite finds, and a few items I’ve ordered or have my eye on. Pour a cup of your favorite beverage and enjoy this week’s highlights.
The New Opalhouse x Jungalow Line at Target
I’m really taken with this collection — the jewel tones and bold patterns feel fresh and unexpected. Target has done a wonderful job with this collaboration; there are pieces that would brighten any space. I only wish our tiny house had room for more of the furniture and accent pieces.
Recipe Ideas For The Week
Sugar Free Broccoli Salad — a crisp, refreshing side that’s perfect for warm-weather meals.
Gluten Free Sesame Noodles — simple, flavorful, and great for quick weeknight dinners.
Gluten Free Raspberry Cornmeal Cake — a bright, fruity dessert that’s light enough for summer gatherings.
Stuff I Love
What I’m Reading — I just finished Haven Point by Virginia Hume. It follows a grandmother and granddaughter across seven decades and into the present day. It’s beautifully written and completely absorbing.
What I’m Watching — We recently subscribed to Apple TV+ and I’m catching up on The Morning Show. The performances and production are excellent — definitely worth watching.
What I Just Ordered — Our dogs adore the Top Chews Pork and Chicken Sausage Treats. They’re grain-free, made in the USA, and smell surprisingly like the pepperoni sticks we enjoy.
What I Want To Get — I have a flowy summer top in my cart that I’m planning to buy. I love breathable, loose-fitting pieces for hot days.
What I’m Loving — Stackable pint jars from Ball have become my favorite for drinking glasses. They’re practical, attractive, and save cupboard space by nesting neatly.
Favorites From The Old Navy Sale
Favorites From Around The Web
I found a simple white shirt from the Macy’s Fourth of July sale that’s ideal for summer and pairs well with a blazer for cooler months.
Denim shirts are a staple for me. A denim shirtdress is a versatile option that transitions easily from summer to fall with boots and a scarf.
I discovered that H&M offers a beauty line with playful highlighters and nail polishes — fun products to try when you want an affordable update.
At 5’3″, I appreciate chunky soled shoes for adding height comfortably. They feel sturdier than heels and can change up a casual outfit.
Baskets are my go-to for keeping spaces tidy. A sturdy rope basket looks attractive and helps corral everyday items so surfaces look neater.
For warm weather, comfy pull-on shorts are a must. Linen pull-on shorts are breathable, easy to wear, and perfect for casual days.
If you’re still shopping for swimwear, a shaping one-piece in a lovely green tone offers style and support at an affordable price.
I always keep a moisturizing lip balm on hand in summer. A lightly tinted balm provides a touch of color while keeping lips hydrated — one of my go-to picks for everyday wear.
