Happy Sunday, everyone. In honor of Black History Month, we want to shine a spotlight on some of our favorite brands and creators. It’s essential to celebrate and feel celebrated, so this month’s links will have a theme centered around this (but the celebration doesn’t stop when March begins). Let’s dive into these links!
This week’s house tour features the beautiful home of beauty and lifestyle content creator Toni Bravo, designed by the talented Proem Studio. This vibrant and pattern-filled home is already a strong contender for our favorite of the year. Take a look!
From Emily: I’m feeling inspired to share my admiration for the Obamas. Michelle Obama’s new coffee table book, The Look, goes beyond fashion to explore themes like feminism, beauty standards, race, and personal style as a form of expression. It’s a powerful and insightful read that I wanted to have as a constant presence in my living space. I also enjoyed her appearance on Call Her Daddy – hearing more from her was a delight.
Also From Emily: Brian’s latest post on our personal newsletter shares his journey as the lead parent (formerly known as a stay-at-home dad). His openness and courage in embracing this role are truly commendable. It’s heartwarming to see more men actively involved in parenting responsibilities, and Brian’s story is both vulnerable and captivating.
Here are this week’s Instagram highlights:
From Arlyn: I recently discovered the O-Cedar Spin Mop and it has been a game-changer for me. After years of using other cleaning tools, this spin mop provides a thorough and effective clean, especially in areas like the kitchen and bathrooms. It has become a staple in my cleaning routine.
From Jess: If you’re not familiar with Claude Home, you’re in for a treat. Their collection of vintage pieces and contemporary designs is extraordinary. Even if you’re just seeking inspiration, their selection is worth exploring. Make sure to follow Claude Home on Instagram for more!
From Marlee: I recently tried a new hair oil from the brand ROZ, and I’m loving it. The scent is delightful, and it helps tame my frizz while providing heat protection. It’s a versatile product that I’ve been enjoying using on both dry and damp hair.
From Gretchen: In challenging times, finding moments of light and beauty is crucial. Discovering Tyka Pryde‘s unique wall light designs brought a sense of joy and hope amidst the darkness. Her creations, particularly the sunset-inspired wall lights, are not just decorative pieces but transformative elements that elevate any space. I recently purchased one of her designs, and I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival to brighten up my home.
From Mallory: If you’re looking to refresh your home decor, look no further than Goddee. Their collection of home accessories, such as candle sconces and decorative plates, is truly exceptional. Their pieces exude quality and style, making them a fantastic addition to any home.
From Caitlin: Mikel Welch’s creative work, particularly his captivating video content, has been a source of inspiration for many. His book, The Forever Home, is a must-have for enthusiasts of timeless design. Mikel’s expertise extends beyond books to TV appearances and online courses, showcasing his versatile talent and dedication to the world of design.
Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to sharing more with you soon. xx
