I began the month of February in Charleston, on a two-week trip (made possible thanks to working from home) with one clear objective in mind: escape winter in Minnesota for a little while. And that? That I did. I walked the streets for miles at a time, tried a whole host of restaurants, and took in each one of the many sights. It was a magical way to infuse a little energy into the winter season, and I can still feel the lingering effects of it as I sit at my desk back in Minneapolis on a blustery, snowy day.
I wish a little of that magic—the kind that comes from experiencing something new—for all of you this winter. It may not be a trip, but surely anything out of the ordinary will do. Consider taking up an activity you’ve been meaning to try (cross-country skiing, anyone?), venturing out to grab a bite at a new spot, or buying a fresh bouquet of flowers in the brightest shade you can find to add a little extra something to your home.
As we inch closer to the end of the shortest month of the year, we’re taking a look back at some of the things our team loved on the internet in February.
Below you’ll find a few cheerful home tours, a lovely sweater for spring, a case for bringing back personal blogging, and more. We’re also sharing the most-read articles and the best-selling products on Wit & Delight throughout the month of February so far. Enjoy!
