Okayyyy… the little things got me this time. 😂💙

You know how sometimes you don't need to completely overhaul your life?

You just need ONE little thing that makes your day easier, makes you smile, or makes something you use all the time feel a little more like YOU.

THAT'S the kind of reset I can get behind. 🙌

And these new Tula XII goodies understood the assignment.

We've got new pouches, new pen holders and some seriously adorable fall charms—and I already know we're not all going to pick the same favorite. 👀

So watch the Reel and tell me…

Which one got YOU?

Don't overthink it. 😂 The first one that made you go “Oooooh…” is the one I want to know about.

And if you're sitting there thinking “Yep, Melissa, I need that one”—comment YES and I'll come find you. 💙

☕ Have you ever looked at something simple and wondered what it could become?

Sometimes we get so busy taking care of work, home, family, and everything else that we forget how good it feels to slow down and create something just for fun.

Today’s Coffee & Chit Chat sneak peek starts with this simple wood tag.

Right now, it may not look like much—but with the design, ribbon, twine, and little coffee cup charm you’ve already seen this week, it’s going to become a cozy piece you’ll be proud to display.

And no, you don’t have to be naturally crafty.

You don’t have to bring supplies.

You don’t even have to know where to begin.

I’ll have everything ready and guide you through the project step by step. You simply get to show up, take a break, and enjoy creating something for yourself.

Bring a friend who could use that kind of afternoon too. Creativity and good conversation are always better when they’re shared. 💙

Registration is open now, with only 12 seats available on a first come, first served basis.

☕ Comment COFFEE below, and I’ll message you the registration form. The payment link is included inside the form, and your seat is reserved once both are completed.

Another piece of the project puzzle is coming tomorrow!

☕ Ever notice how some little things just make a house feel more like home?

Maybe it’s the smell of fresh coffee in the morning.

Maybe it’s your favorite mug.

Or maybe it’s those cozy details that make you smile every time you walk into the kitchen.

Here’s today’s little sneak peek at the August Coffee & Chit Chat Chalk Club project…

This beautiful Homestead Blend design transfer is the design we’ll be creating with this month, and I fell in love with its vintage farmhouse feel the moment I saw it.

The best part?

You do not have to be artistic or crafty to make something beautiful.

I’ll guide you step by step, and everything you need will be ready for you.

💙 Registration is open now.

There are only 12 seats available, and they are reserved on a first come, first served basis.

Bring a friend who could use a cozy night out too, and come enjoy a little creativity, conversation, and time away from the everyday rush.

Another sneak peek is coming tomorrow.

☕ When was the last time you did something just because it sounded fun?

Not because it was on the list.

Not because someone needed you.

And definitely not because the laundry was finally finished — because let’s be honest, the laundry is never finished. 😂

The next Chit Chat Chalk Club is for the woman who could use a little break from real life.

A chance to sit down, create something beautiful, enjoy good conversation, and remember that you’re allowed to make time for yourself too.

August’s theme is:

Coffee & Chit Chat

I’m sharing little sneak peeks all week, so today you’re only seeing a few of the cozy details — brown gingham ribbon, rustic twine, and the cutest little coffee cup charm.

The full project reveal is still coming, but registration is already open now.

You do not need to be crafty.
You do not need to bring supplies.
You do not need to know what you’re doing.

I’ll guide you step by step, and everything you need will be ready for you.

Bring a friend who could use a relaxing night out too, and come enjoy a little creativity, laughter, and connection together.

There are only 12 seats available, and they are being reserved on a first come, first served basis.

Some seasons of life are full of elaborate skincare routines…

…and some seasons are about doing the one small thing that helps you feel like yourself again 💙

Lately, my non-negotiable has been my cleansing oil every morning in the shower.

It cleans deeply, leaves my skin soft and moisturized, and somehow makes me feel a little more refreshed before the chaos of the day begins ✨

One thing I’ve learned recently is this:

Self-care does not have to be complicated to be powerful.

Sometimes it’s just taking a few quiet minutes for yourself before taking care of everyone else.

And honestly?
My skin has been LOVING the consistency.

👇 Tell me… what’s one small thing you do that helps you feel more like YOU again?

Ever notice how sometimes we make self-care feel all or nothing?

Like if we can’t do the FULL routine…the full makeup…the perfect outfit…the perfectly productive day…we end up doing nothing at all.

I’ve been realizing lately how much pressure women put on themselves to always look “put together.” And honestly? That kind of pressure gets exhausting.

The last few weeks have been BUSY over here.
Between work, family, projects, gardening, events, creating custom orders, planning my Chit Chat Chalk Club, and getting ready to watch my youngest daughter graduate culinary school tomorrow morning… life has been full. 💙

And there were definitely days I didn’t do the “perfect” skincare routine.

But I still did something. I still washed my face. I still took a few quiet moments for myself. I still chose simple over skipping myself completely.

That realization has been powerful for me.

Because thriving doesn’t always come from doing MORE!!! Sometimes it comes from making things easier. More realistic. More relaxed. More personal to the season of life you’re actually in.

I know I’m not the only woman who:

* overthinks everything
* feels behind
* quietly dreads never catching up
* wants to feel confident and comfortable in her own skin again without all the pressure

And maybe self-care doesn’t need to look perfect to still matter.

Maybe caring for yourself in small, consistent ways is enough to start flourishing again. 💙

Okay but for $5… I’m grabbing this 🦋

I mean… look at these.
Soft colors, butterflies, little day labels — it’s giving “peaceful planner moment” and I’m here for it.

This is the kind of thing I’d use on a week where I just want something simple but still pretty.

Tell me the truth…
Are you using these right away or saving them because they’re too cute? 👀
