Weekly Recs | March 16, 2025
A few things I enjoyed recently and maybe you will too.
Two days of 60º temperates right in a freaking row and I am a new girl over here! I have really been feeling good lately and I think it’s probably a combo of walking most days, taking a multivitamin, and all those positive affirmations I’ve been chanting at myself. But also I think it’s mostly getting a glimpse of spring again. My backyard is an absolute puddle, but who cares! The snow is gone!
+Highs // Just a really nice week. Things were a little slower at work, which is frankly unusual in early spring, but I decided to not stress about it. I’m going to appreciate it for what it is and be grateful that I could clear my inbox before logging out every afternoon. I work in sales, so slow weeks can be a double edged sword and usually I’d start panicking after a few days of light work. Also, my kiddos are participating in reading month at school. They have big reading goals and rewards attached to them, so it’s been quiet at home while they busily consume The Wimpy Kid series. Nothing nicer than checking on the boys and seeing a book in their faces!
+Lows // It’s such small potatoes, but that’s just a testament to how good the week was. Our warm days are cooling back off and we have snow in the forecast today. But that’s March! She’s a two-faced ho!

J Crew Factory Beaded Layering Necklace // I will report back on this one! I love a basic, but I hate when cheap jewelry tarnishes in five minutes. I’ve had good luck with J Crew.
J Crew Factory Oversized Sunglasses // Cute, but not so expensive that I feel like I need to precious with them. I left some Raybans in my pocket a couple of weeks ago and bent them and I’m still smarting from the loss. Some cheapies are on the agenda until I trust myself again.
LL Bean Wellies // I thought this was a frivolous purchase until I went for a wet, sloppy walk down my dirt road earlier this week. Spring is a loooong season and it’s going to be messy for a bit. I’ll get plenty of use out of these!
Etsy Striped Mugs // Feels spring-like, no?
Glossier Haul // I’m a die-hard and Glossier had a surprise sale earlier this week. I took the opportunity to pick up a few of my favorites.
Amazon Weighted Vest // My job gives me a $100 wellness stipend and last year I forgot to use it. Big bummer. This year I’m spending it early to make sure I don’t miss the benefit. I’ve been going for walks most nights after dinner and got this 10lb vest to amp it up a bit.
What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking // I don’t read/follow any cooking blogs or sub stacks, but I love to page through a beautiful cookbook. I found this at the library earlier this week and guys, it’s a good one. Like I might go ahead and purchase it after it’s due back. All the recipes are normal, not fancy, and look delicious. Nothing throws me off more than a weird ingredient, and this one has none of those.
Amazon Ankle Weights // Related to the missed wellness benefit above, I’m adding these to my arsenal. I really actually plan to put these babies on my wrists and use them for a light arm work out.
