FAITHFULL THE BRAND “RIVERA MIDI DRESS” from ANTHROPOLOGIE | FILM PHOTOS BY ANA WOODS PHOTOGRAPHY

I always say that my favorite day of the year is the first day in the Spring when the temperature reaches 50 degrees after a cold Iowa winter. That day just happened to be yesterday and it was definitely the ideal Monday. Any other time, 50 degrees would feel chilly but after an ice storm, 50 degrees feels like you’re on a tropical vacation about to walk away with a nice tan. Another positive sentiment from yesterday was the quote on my kombucha bottle, “positive thoughts will bring positive results.”  There’s nothing quite like some warmth and uplifting words to put a pep in your step and get you in the right headspace for the week. So here’s to putting on your best Spring clothing, basking in the sunshine and having a big ol’ smile on your face  (holding your favorite chicken of course!).
