In no particular order, here are my top ten favorite things right now:

Valentine’s Day: What’s better than a day full of love? If you choose to spread love rather than mourn being single, Valentine’s Day will become your new favorite holiday, too.

Chick-Fil-A: the only fast food I ever crave. I suggest the Chicken Sandwich Meal. No pickles on the sandwich, medium fries, medium diet lemonade, Chick-Fil-A sauce and Zesty Buffalo Sauce. Mix the sauces together, and thank me later.

It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey: This book is overflowing with graceful character development, laugh-out-loud scenes, and the perfect amount of spice. I will recommend anything written by Tessa Bailey for eternity.

BAGSMART Large Women’s Tote Bag: I found this on Amazon for around $30. It fits everything I need for the day including my laptop, textbooks, gym shoes, and my 32 fl oz Hydroflask. Also, there is a special strap to hold your yoga mat in place on top of the bag. The best part? It’s super cute and water-resistant.

The Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso from Starbucks… but hot. Here’s how you order it: “Hi! Could I please get a blonde latte with brown sugar syrup, oatmilk, and cinnamon?” So easy and so delicious.

Love is Blind on Netflix: I was obsessed with Season 1 of this series last year, but Season 2 has already knocked my socks off. The drama is intense. So binge-worthy.

Target Women’s Smile Heart Icon Blanket Scarf: So cute, so trendy, super cozy, and only $15. Run to Target ASAP.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara: The first time I wore this, someone asked if I had lash extensions. I’ve put it on my lashes every day since.

Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds: My all-time favorite comfort character.

Olaplex No. 3: I have been using this product for about two months now and I am beyond amazed. My hair stays smooth and nourished for five days after my wash. It’s expensive, but a total game-changer if you’re interested in investing more time and care in your hair.
