I believe every season we live through has its own rhythm. Its own palette. Its own needs.

There are times we crave grounding. Times we chase lightness. Moments we long for memory, and others when we’re just trying to breathe through the unknown.

Through each season, we reach for what meets us where we are—and right now, these are the pieces doing that for me.

I didn’t choose them to impress or to perform. I chose them because they feel like home in this particular moment. Because they hold something I need right now: a sense of calm, a burst of joy, a thread of memory I didn’t know I was still holding on to.

Some seasons are about arrival. Some are about return. And some—like the one I’m in—are about quietly tending to what’s shifting inside, without needing to explain.

These favorites? They’re small reminders. Anchors. Little lights on the path. They might not be yours forever—but they might be right for you right now.

So here they are. Shared not as must-haves, but as companions in case you find yourself navigating your own edge of change.

Because we don’t always get to choose when the season changes—but we do get to choose how we move through it.

And sometimes, it starts with  a scent.
