Traveler's Notebook Regular Refill 026 Dot Grid
Amazing
Such great scents, and the quality is excellent. Hands down the best incense I've ever bought. It's that great.

Organizational perfection!
The perfect sized notebook and I love that you can perpetually refill with whatever style of paper best suits your needs! Highly recommend! A quality lifetime piece.

Traveler's Notebook Starter Kit - Regular Size
The perfect bag!
Purchased as a gift for my partner who won’t take it off. Literally have had to remind them that they don’t need to be wearing it when we’re hanging out at home :)
Love the neutral caramel shade which goes with everything. Very sturdy and rugged and seems like it’s going to last years.

Awesome Secret Crossbody Bag
Perfect summer dress
I’ve already worn this on three separate occasions since picking it up last week (and have been showered in compliments every single time!) It’s clear that it will age well over time as it becomes more lived in. I’m looking forward to wearing this for many summers to come! Re: fit, I typically wear sizes 14-16 and picked this up in an XL.

Short Billie Dress in Quilt Star
Lovely!
The Ojai tee is one of my faves, I have several now. I purchased from Short Wave as I wanted a color that was sold out at the site and love to support local businesses. I have no regrets! The tee is just as I expected, the shipping was quick and my items were well packaged.

Great brush
This is exactly what I was looking for in a brush. Great quality, strong enough to last but gentle enough to use on my son (7yrs old).

A Fruit Crisp Recipe for Berry Season
You can be absolutely terrible at baking and still make this delicious dessert. I used marionberries and peaches, but feel free to mix up the varieties of berries and/or stone fruit in this or use all berries--it will be good almost no matter what!
