Recently, I embarked on a new exercise to focus on positivity and bring happiness into my life and those around me. I tend to dwell on negatives, which can feel safe as it shields me from potential hurt. However, I am determined to retrain my brain to avoid automatically going into survival mode, even for the most trivial issues. I have decided to share 16 things that have made me happy in a new series called Friday Favorites to shift my negative mindset and inspire joy in others.

The back of this dress is to die for!

The the gold frame on this picture.

I think these are the cutest!

I love the nightstand with that oversized floral arrangement.

The obsessing I have with trying to find a place for this rug in my house is alarming.

I think this banner is just darling.

I want this whimsical art piece for Alexander’s next bedroom.

Mmmmmhhhh, Chocolate!

Etsy is such a great place to get amazing pillow covers.

I could see this being a great addition to a dining room.

Isn’t this lamp just so darn pretty?

How do you feel about black exteriors? I personally think it’s beautiful when done right.

Isn’t this such a fun photo wall? I love the combination of the patterned wallpaper and the wavy frames.

This is another piece that I want to use in Alexander’s next bedroom. Wouldn’t it be just darling in a nursery?

Caramelized Onion, Whole Grain Mustard, and Gruyere Grilled Cheese equals yum!

If you are in the Baltimore area, lucky you! This arrangement is gorgeous and I will definitely be taking inspiration from it.
