Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁
The crawling anxiety of the last few weeks has subsided, so this has been a pretty good week! 🥳👏 Let’s see what brought the sparkle:
(FYI: I make a small commission for purchases or clicks made through links in this post.)
I visited Maggie (and Pudge!) on Saturday! Tara, another friend from yoga teacher training, came over too, and it was so great to catch up! I used to see these girls all the time at the retreat center… it’s wild how much life has changed. And every time I’m with them, it is so nourishing. 💖 I don’t leave the house a ton these days, and I’m mostly okay with that (introvert lifeeee ✌️), but this was a nice change of pace!
Obligatory Pudge pic because she is the cutest and I only took cat pictures, as per ush. 😍
I also went out on Sunday morning, and it felt so delightfully normal to drive around and run errands (and buy fun things 🙈) in the sunshine—like pre-2020 normal. It prob helped that I was out Kristin’s way too. 💖 Driving is somewhat unnerving these days (remember how I don’t leave the house?), but on Sunday, it just felt… normal. A much appreciated turn of events! 🎶Back to life, back to nor-mal-a-cy🎶 (yes, “nor-mal-a-cy,” as my grandfather would say! 😂😂)
Okay, but there was so much greenery in this one parking lot…?! They did not in fact pave paradise and put up a parking lot here! 😂
Feeling cute definitely boosts my mood, and I really liked the outfit I put together on Sunday! (I am not a cool girl, nor have I ever been a cool girl, but I do feel like a cool girl in this outfit, and isn’t that all that matters? 😂🔥 I guess the Cool Girl Store is rubbing off on me!) I have been trying to find non-bodysuit bodysuits (i.e. things that look like bodysuits but are less annoying), and this top from Amazon works well! (Bonus that it’s wicking, so it’s perfect for doing literally anything in our 90+ degree weather!) I also love the color, “lunar rock”! Then, these high-waisted mom shorts from Nordstrom Rack are a nice complement to make the top less revealing—and they’re v comfy in their own right.
Speaking of colors I love… Do you have a color that just makes you happy? For me, it’s, well, purple (obviously!), but specifically, “Jo’mina purple”:
Back in 2012, during that brief shining moment when Illamasqua was sold at US Sephoras, my bffl and I both got their nail polish in Jo’mina. (I think she got it first and then I had to get my own before she took hers back to Cali!) Now, ten years later, this saturated lavender is still the *chef’s kiss* of purples to me, which is how I ended up getting Jo’mina Tevas last weekend! You’ve got to love a supportive sandal in a color that just makes you smile! 🥳
Lastly, nothing says TGIF like some English major humor!
