Things I've been loving lately (#1 | September 2025)

Introduction

It is easy to get into a cycle of seeing only the negative. It's important to look around and reflect on the positives. With this in mind, I decided to create a little blog series where (hopefully) every month I will bring you a list of all the things I have been loving. These can be things that I've been obsessed with, small things that spark joy for me, or just something that's been making my days better. So these can include things like products, songs, apps, feelings, aesthetics, or really anything that I've been loving lately.

Things I've been loving

Weighted blanket

I don't know what it is about a weighted blanket, but I just love it! I literally wake up feeling refreshed. Like I've been in the deepest slumber. It truly just relaxes me. It's gotten to a point where I don't feel like I sleep well enough without it. If I try to sleep without it, I feel like there's something missing, and it's harder for me to fall asleep.

Tarte maracuja juicy lip plump

I got this lip plumper because it was on the Amazon Prime deals. I didn't think much of it at first, but when I tried it on... I fell in love. This is exactly what I've been looking for in a lip balm. I love lip balms that are a little transparent. On top of that, I was even happier because the shade that I got (mixed berries) is perfect. It's like my natural lip color, but a little more pink, which is exactly what I love.

Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain

I have adored and looked up to her ever since I first stumbled across her on a video called "reading makes you hot" where she talked about her new love of reading. If you don't know already, she changed from mainly posting to her channel to now posting podcast episodes every Thursday and Sunday. I love how she uses her emotional maturity to talk about everyday situations and problems.

coolors.co - color pallate generator

One thing I'm unexpectedly loving is this website called colors.co. It's helped me with this blog with the post covers. It also helps me with my Google Calendar; for example, at the start of the school year, I decided I wanted to change the colors of my Google Calendar. And this has helped me find the perfect colors to make my calendar cute and aesthetic!

Wrap-Up/Conclusion

Altogether, these things have made this month a little bit better. I know many of us have already started school, so it's great to have these small little things to lift me up. If there's anything that you have been loving lately, let me know in the comments! I hope you found something new to love. See you next month for more things that make life a little bit better. Take care!
