Years ago, author and designer Ingrid Fetell Lee shared with us a few simple ways to infuse more joy into our day-to-day. It’s advice that’s stuck with us—both her directive to pursue joy and her strategies for doing so: by leaning into bright colors, lines of symmetry, moments of nature, and little surprises. In a lot of ways, this feels like what spring—the season of rebirth—is all about.
Another tip that’s stuck with us (and another testament to the power of color) is our beauty editor Jean’s midday pick-me-up: a little Colorblur Balm on your lips and cheeks. It’s a hint of flush that wakes up your face—and having the same color on lips and cheeks ties everything together in a natural-looking way.
