I know it's August. I know Advent calendars are supposed to be a December thing.
But after these past few months, I refuse to wait until December 1st to start planning daily doses of joy. So I'm officially back with the roundups you've been asking for.
Here's what I believe: We need more tiny surprises. More reasons to feel excited about random Tuesday mornings.
This year, I will be prioritizing finding and sourcing Advent calendars from small businesses, female-owned companies, and minority-owned brands.
So here's the first of many completely unhinged advent calendar roundups.
Because sometimes the most radical thing you can do is plan for happiness three months early, and put your money where your values are.
P.S. I'm dropping a holiday collection this year. If you want first access when they launch, upgrade today. You'll be the first to know, and honestly, after the year we've had, we all deserve to be first in line for something good.
