James Gordon(CNN) –
2020 has been a difficult year to say the least, but we have left this chaotic energy behind us and welcomed the next year with good vibrations. If you’re like us, you want to surround yourself with positivity – whether it’s a nice decorative element, a moment of self-care, or even the people you surround yourself with.
For the little pleasures money can buy, we’ve put together a few things we think will brighten your day. Read them and I wish you good luck in 2021.
