Everything Good in May
The best of the past month.
Good morning from the last day of May, a month that flew by in a flash. As is becoming a bit of a tradition, today I’m sharing a little recap of all the good things from the past 31 days. Think of it as a chance to catch up on an article you may have missed or give a post you loved a second read. Let’s get into it.
May in Review
Let Home Carry History
Why I believe in embracing the storied histories of our homes. Here’s an excerpt:
“Not everything in a home has to be a direct mirror of your style. Sometimes, the things you wouldn’t have picked are the ones that end up meaning the most. They push you to expand your definition of beauty. They tether you to a place in a way no brand-new purchase ever could.”

Welcoming bare-skin season and the simple joys of an ordinary life, plus thoughts on:

The ear stack I’m wearing daily.
A book on style and self-expression.
Scheduling sex, and why it’s changed everything.
The Messy Road to Self-Trust
Why feeling lost is essential to the creative process, and how I found my way home to myself. Here’s a snippet:
“My decision to seek a quieter, slower way of working in a world that requires so much speed has felt like signing up to fail, but I’m realizing it’s actually self-trust. Finding yourself lost, stuck, or between the version of the life you thought you wanted, and the life you are rebuilding is growth.”
Kate’s Five Things #77
The pointlessness of waiting to feel ready before you dare to begin, plus musings on:
A deliciously hydrating body oil.
A series so good I’m currently rereading every book.
A lighthearted TV show.
A wellness trend that actually works.
A new-to-me platform that feels like the old internet in the best way.
What You Might Have Missed on Wit & Delight
The neutral paint colors I swear by for every home project.

All the Memorial Day Sales worth shopping this year, from furniture to clothing to skincare. Some of these sales are still ongoing—it’s worth taking a peek!
The Products You Loved Most in May
A set of fragrances that Joe said are “the best things he’s ever smelled on me.”
Jelly thong sandals that are only $15.
The Sex Serum I keep on my nightstand. The product works, and the bottle is genuinely display-worthy.
My favorite linen pants. They’re so comfortable and go with everything.
The tinted mineral sunscreen I’m wearing on repeat.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned for so much more in June! Thank you for being here.
