Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁

Because last week (like, the week ending 5/6… last last week??) was pretty rough emotionally, I made a real effort to mix it up this week and incorporate gentleness and fun into every day. (Sometimes, I tend to sleepwalk through the week, putting off fun stuff till the weekend.) It has made a world of difference! So here’s what’s brought the sparkle:

Proactively scheduling an extra therapy session! I wanted this week to be different than last week, so I set myself up with more support before it even started. 10/10 would recommend.

Signing up for The Life Edit with Almost 30! Honestly, I didn’t sign up until the last minute, and yet it has been exactly what I needed. Week One has been about cleaning up our digital spaces (photos, emails, etc.), and it has been SO CATHARTIC. Like, I was hoping to feel a little less scattered and cluttered at the end of the program, but just clearing out ancient emails and thousands of photos has felt magnificent—like a weight has been lifted. Like I’m bringing my digital spaces into alignment with who I am now, rather than who I was three, or eight, or ten years ago. As I mentioned above, I am apt to sleepwalk through the day-to-day to keep anxiety at bay, but it seems like cultivating a more enjoyable, less overwhelming daily life could be an antidote to that…?!

This absolute gem! I have zero recollection of saving it back in 2019 (thank you, Alana, for sharing it in an IG Story!), but cleaning out my Photos brought it back into my life at the perfect time. It has really become the theme of the week. ❤️

Watching RachhLovesLife! I have no interest in cooking, I just find Rachel and Chris so enjoyable and comforting. (The beauty guru and the Tolkien nerd? Is there a better duo?! 😂) The editing is also top notch, and this visual representation of the “Mint Train” that accompanied a discussion of Junior Mints and peppermint lattes made me laugh out loud.

Rachel also totally influenced me to check out Holo Taco, and I’m so glad I did, because my order arrived last week and has put LITERAL HOLOGRAPHIC SPARKLE into my days! When Coral Chaser catches the light, I am in love. 😍 I have many nail polishes, and I don’t think I have anything quite like this!
