Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁
Let’s see what brought the sparkle this week!
As I mentioned here, last Sunday was my Rebirthday. I so often feel stuck that it is wild to think of how much I’ve actually changed and grown since 2013. And equally wild to think that there was a time when I saw mental health stuff as optional and would dip in and out of the counseling center or only go to the psychiatrist every few months (and just do that, no therapy). I needed to, and still need to, make these things a priority in my life. Going inpatient forced me to do that, and thank goodness. ❤️
I wanted to give myself a Rebirthday treat that was truly meaningful and restorative, so on Saturday night, I did a virtual sound bath + reiki with Love and Alchemy! Natalie is so great—I’ve done some group virtual sound baths with her before, and it is WILD how nourished I feel afterward. The tones and vibrations of the bowls are so soothing on their own, but then reiki! I’ve had in-person reiki a few times, and I always seem to go into this restful, zen zone… this not-sleep sleep. It’s so restorative. Definitely a splurge, but well worth it!
This sentiment is also perfect for Rebirthday week (though I honestly need to be reminded of this like every day! 🙃):
The Rebecca Minkoff bag Mica helped me to identify arrived on Monday! Isn’t she lovely?! That smushy pebbled leather is just 😍😍 and the studded strap! Who am I?!
Thank you to Alli at Simply Small Town for introducing me to the adorableness that is Callie Danielle! Her designs are just so cheery and fun! Every Wednesday, Callie posts free wallpapers on her Instagram, and there were some super-cute spring ones this week! (You should be able to find them in her “Phone wallpapers” highlight.) This one was my fave!
I also just remembered that I am currently using one of her backgrounds on my Apple Watch!
I hate that you can’t change the small white numbers when you make Watch faces (…at least, I don’t think you can do that??), but this background at least makes them pop!
Lastly, on a funny note… On Saturday, our neighbors (the cake neighbors!) had the birthday party for their one-year old, and that meant that a safari moon bounce suddenly went up next door! That certainly put some excitement in Friday’s workday! 😂 One of the friends I grew up with in the neighborhood texted me at one point and was like “I hope you get a turn in the bounce house!!!” Hilar. (Ultimately, I didn’t—but not because I wasn’t invited to! 😂😂)
What put the sparkle in your week?
Happy Friday! xoxo
