10 Things for February
vintage linens, sleep enhancers, rain-resistant jackets, easy nourishment, plus more.
Dear Reader,
Happy Feb!
Yes, I’m a day late—forgive me. I have a sick baby that I’ve been obsessing over, and she’s finally getting in some deep sleep. Sickness (and sleep) are themes of Winter, I’ve accepted.
Good news, though: we made it to February, the last “full month” of Winter on the calendar.
Worth celebrating, right?
No surprise, I’m sure, but I’m living for whispers of Spring right now. Longer days, fresher scents, and of course, all the latest fashion drops: cotton jackets, sunny hues, canvas totes (more below).
Yet, I know my body is in Winter. So I continue to lather my dry lips with nourishing masks and cozy up in bed with my trusted sleep-enhancers (more on this below, too).
For February, I share my latest favorites that fall beneath my Winter-Spring umbrella. Hoping you can relate to this confusing theme.
Going to keep this short-and-sweet. My two kids are both sleeping, and it’d be a slap in God’s face to not soak up some rare solitude.
All my love, always, but esp for love month.
xx Megan

LISTEN: I’m not ADHD, but I still love this ADHD focus playlist.
AROMA: Nette’s Sunday Chess — sort of become obsessed with Nette (divine scents, made with coconut wax, with fab branding).
RECIPE: Healthy mint patties on my radar (a sweet Vday treat, maybe).
10 Things
WEARABLE
Windbreakers/Tech Jackets
Prediction: we’ll see a rise in windbreakers this season. Casual windbreakers, but also water-repellent luxuries (like my Row Pierrick jacket). Take this by Zimmerman, this by Aeron, this by Max Mara, this by Moncler. Not offended by this Longchamp tech jacket, either.
Canvas Tote
Every Spring, I invest in one canvas bag to carry through Summer and into Fall. Originally, I thought maybe this beauty by Loro Piana or this one by Metier, although I could be more reasonable and buy this very simple one (it’s zipper may be the selling point).
Butters!
If you’re reading this post, you probably already saw my Butters, Creams, and Custards edit. Should you get one piece, my vote would be a knit tee. This one by Tibi is so cool and mega on sale. Also like this one by Posse and this one by Vince.
BEAUTY
Goop Lip Mask
I’ve gone to bed with Goop’s Fix and Restore Balm for years, and I just added its side kick to the mix. Meet Goop’s Nourishing Lip Repair Mask, an eight-hour treatment for your lips that locks moisture in like a cocoon. It’s not sticky—more buttery—yet feels like a deep treatment. Bonus: it naturally smells like berries. (MEGAN15 for 15% off everything Goop.)
Crown Affair Shampoo + Conditioner
My massage therapist said yesterday, “your hair smells amazing—what do you use?!” That’d be Crown Affair’s newest shampoo and conditioner. Their signature scent is my favorite of any haircare I’ve tried, but beyond that, I looove how this makes my hair feel and look. I pair the Hydrating Shampoo with the Volumizing Conditioner. Got the full bounce, but also, the deep hydration. (MEGAN15 for 15% off site.)
HOME
Vintage Linen Napkins
Caught myself going down an Etsy wormhole the other night. The search? Embroidered vintage linen napkins. I love these, these, and these.
McGee Spring
McGee & Co. launched some pretty Spring things! Cute things I got: these hand towels (these too), this cutting board, this silver tray, and this woven basket and tray.
WELLNESS
Sakara Life
As much as I enjoy my time in the kitchen, I have to admit the Sakara Life meal delivery service has been SO damn nice lately. My weeks seem busier than ever, so it’s nice to have healthy, organic, plant-based meals readily available. Plus, Kennedy loves them too. (Use MEGANKARP for 20% off site.)
Hatch Restore
I’ve been doing this thing where I don’t sleep next to my phone (it charges in another room at night). Game-changer, my friends. This Hatch Restore is my bedside clock, but also, it plays zen tunes to get your brain to surrender into sleep mode. It also mimics the sun for your rise, but I haven’t tried that feature (I rise early, naturally). Sincerely love this thing.
Magnesium for Sleep
If you visit my Amazon storefront, you’ll soon discover my obsession for magnesium supplements (under my “wellness” shop). Different forms of magnesium vary in benefits. If you want one to help you sleep, try this magnesium glycinate. I just reordered for myself. It works.
Until next time!
