The Happy Haul actually started long before it had a name. 🤎
It began with my daughter — my mini me — and years of our favorite kind of days together.
Girls’ day shopping trips. Thrift store treasure hunts. Face masks during movie nights. Trying random snacks we’d never had before just because they looked fun. Nothing extravagant or fancy — just our thing.
And somehow, those little traditions became some of our biggest memories.
One of our favorite mom-and-daughter days would start with a trip to La La Land for chai matcha lattes, followed by hopping around thrift stores looking for hidden gems. We’d usually end up at Ulta or Sephora, grab a face mask for later, and head home for a Pitch Perfect marathon.
But first came the best part.
We’d pull out everything we bought and put on a full fashion show for each other, showing off our finds like we’d just returned from the shopping trip of a lifetime.
We called it “The Haul Showcase.” 😂
And honestly? That feeling never went away.
Even now, with her away at college in New York, she’ll FaceTime me after a good thrift run and ask:
“Want to see my haul?”
Yes, girl. Always. 🫰
Those moments — the excitement of finding something you love, bringing it home, sharing it with someone and making an ordinary day feel a little more special — became the heart behind The Happy Haul.
A Little Happy Goes a Long Way
I created The Happy Haul to share that same feeling with you.
Here, you’ll find thoughtfully curated beauty, lifestyle, cozy favorites, trending finds, hidden gems and those unexpected little things that simply make you happy.
Some are practical. Some are a little indulgent. And some are absolutely an “okay, I need that” kind of find.
But everything is chosen intentionally.
Nothing random. Nothing just for the sake of filling a shop.
I want The Happy Haul to feel like discovering something really good and immediately wanting to show your friend.
Because I believe everyday life deserves little luxuries, small surprises and things that make an ordinary Tuesday feel a little more fun.
And sometimes, the best part really is coming home and saying…
“Want to see my haul?” 🤎
Welcome to The Happy Haul. I’m so happy you’re here.
XOXO,
Anna 🫰
