Day 1: Currently Listening to

Kacey Musgraves' "Golden Hour" has been a calming album for me to play over and over all summer long. "Slow Burn" is a wonderful opener to the album.

Day 2: Recently I Learned

Despite spelling "learned" wrong, I did enjoy relaying the information I had recently learned about saffron. And the addition of "Pricey Spice" to my beloved Spice Girls.

Day 10: Grocery Run

This grocery run is during the COVID19 pandemic, when groceries seem especially valuable and a source of joy/mindfulness. I chose foods that I was comforted to bring home from the store.

Day 12: Toiletry Bag Favorites

I'm a sucker for beauty products, though I try to not be wasteful, so I only buy something once I run out of it (save for perfume, I usually have one or two of those). Moving forward however I'd like to transition to only using brands that are cruelty free. My friend Peggy has been helping to educate me on this as she's very passionate about animals.
