All the things I'm loving right now...
For some reason, April always makes me think of Hawaii. (I think of Hawaii throughout the year, but in April, even more so...)
To me, midcentury + Hawaiian style = perfection. I love that look. My ultimate goal is to move to Hawaii and create that vibe in my own home, but until then, I'll make do with this.
#4 Starting off with this homesick candle, Hawaii version. It's a small batch soy candle. The top notes of pineapple and coconut are supported by other tropical scents like the ocean, sugar cane and vanilla. You will love it too if you're a fan of the islands. Smells great! Hawaii (or your favorite state) are here: https://amzn.to/3JckRfA
PRO TIP- who else knew (I didn't until last week...) that the first time you light a candle, you are supposed to leave it burning until the entire top surface is melted. Blowing it out too soon is what creates "memory rings" which are those deep channels that form around the wick and waste wax...
#1 Back to reality for a minute- April is also tax time. Make it less painful with some beautiful file folders. I love these geode-y looking ones. They come in a 12 pack with 6 gorgeous patterns. You can find them here: https://amzn.to/4cOJg8n
#2 Okay, MAYBE these are a little kitschy, but aren't you tired of the Edison bulb patio string lights yet? Well, neither am I, but these patio lights inspired by Japanese glass fishing floats add just enough fun factor for me. The lighted length is 7.5' and there are 10 bulbs. For $17, you can brighten up a corner or decorate a party on the cheap. They're going to be this month's giveaway, but if you can't wait... order them here: https://amzn.to/3PQrfwP
#3 Besides improving your living space, taking control of your calendar and managing your time is one important way to transform your life. I found the GREATEST daily planner (yes, I'm a paper and pencil person.) I can't say enough great things about it...
I use the HOURLY WEEKLY version by CLEVER FOX... it is the best organized planner I've
ever found. My productivity went up which actually made more time for things like self care and guilt free lounging! There are all kinds of colors and many more versions of this, so shop around the Clever Fox Amazon store and find the one that suits you best!

#5 I'm working on a vintage wall art store using photos I inherited from a midcentury world traveler. But until then, if you want some Hawaiian prints to beautify your walls, check these unframed posters out and have some fun!
Hopefully you will get a tax refund and can book a trip to Hawaii... but if not, I hope this trip through the April mood board was a mini vacation for you! Until next month!!
