I started the month of February in Charleston, on a two-week trip (possible thanks to working from home) with a clear objective: to escape the winter in Minnesota for a while. And so? What I did I walked the streets for miles at a time, trying a myriad of restaurants and taking in each of the many sights. It was a magical way to infuse some energy into the winter season, and I can still feel its lingering effects as I sit at my desk in Minneapolis on a windy, windy day.
I wish a bit 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 for a bite to eat somewhere new, or buying a bouquet of fresh flowers in the brightest shade you can find to add that extra something to your home.
As we near the end of the shortest month of the year, we take a look back at some of the things our team loved on the internet in February.
Ahead, you’ll find some light-hearted home tours, a cute sweater for spring, a case to bring back personal blogging, and more. We also share the most read articles and best sellers on Wit & Delight for the entire month of February so far. Enjoy!
