Welcome back, Shoppers.

Heart eyes, alert. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so today our editors are sharing what they’re hoping to get — including stunning jewels, cute accessories, and some dark chocolate. Plus, we’re spilling the details on an on-sale bag we’re super excited about. Scroll to shop…

This shoulder bag from Dooney & Bourke. It’s currently on sale for $99 and is about to be our next “going out” bag. It’s made of genuine Italian leather and has a buckled strap detailing that’ll amp up any basic outfit. The brand is having a sale of up to 50% select styles until the 15th, so if you haven’t shopped Dooney & Bourke in forever, now is the time to check them out.

This year, we’re itching to change up the usual activities we have on rotation. So we’re taking you along the journey with us as we explore new hobbies. First up, we’re getting off our phones and figuring out how to get started with journaling.

How to do it:

• Start small. Use easy prompts (psst…check out our favorites here) and set a timer for just five minutes.

• Make it pleasurable. Light a candle, set up your space, and buy some tools you’ll be motivated to reach for. It’s meant to be relaxing and fun.

• Celebrate your wins. You wrote one sentence? Amazing. Just a word of the day? That’s fine too.

What to buy:

• The gel pens our editor swears by for smooth note-taking and list-making.

• An elevated composition notebook with tons of space.

• A highlighter-marker hybrid to add some color.

• A color-changing diffuser to set the vibes.
