Welcome to Joy of the Month, our little corner of the internet where we share the things that brought us pure happiness through our recent purchases. Each month, our editors reveal their favorite items that brought them joy, whether practical or just downright fun—the way retail therapy should be.
September has come to an end, marking the official transition into a new season, and Well+Good editors are embracing the change. From swapping out summer wardrobes for snugglier clothing to prepping the kitchen for baking, we indulged in a little retail therapy in between. Our eclectic mix of items for September brought new and unexpected favorites, from coffee and kitchenware to skincare and haircare products.
Without further ado, here are the joy-boosting products that made our September a little brighter, and we hope they bring some joy to your days as well:
