There’s something so beautiful about finding joy in the everyday, in those little moments that don’t seem like much yet somehow leave you smiling.
I’ve always been the kind of person who gets excited about things that might seem small to others. Mornings feel brighter when I pour coffee into my favorite mug—it’s such a tiny thing, but it starts my day with a sense of comfort. At our shop, testing a new candle or lighting one for the first time always feels a bit magical, like there’s promise in that flicker of light. And don’t even get me started on playing Christmas music—there’s an instant warmth to it that fills the air with cheer.
The truth is, life doesn’t have to be a never-ending stream of grand, exciting plans to feel fulfilling. Sometimes it’s the small joys—the ones that sneak up on you and make you grin for no reason—that become the most cherished memories. From making your favorite meal to calling a friend, these moments remind us that happiness is all around, as long as we pay attention to it.
This week, I want to invite you to be excited. About everything. Making your tea just the way you love it. Seeing how the sunlight streams through your window in the afternoon. Feeling that warm laundry you just pulled out of the dryer and hugging it close to you. Looking out that window at the first soft snowfall of the season. Hearing a song that takes you back to a sweet memory. The beauty of life isn’t always in the big celebrations or monumental successes—it’s in the thread of little things that weave a happy, contented life together.
Here’s to feeling joy in the simple things, to appreciating the candle you light or the music you play, to letting small moments leave a big imprint. This week, be excited. The little things are waiting for you.
💛Christiana
