Happy Friday, happy weekend! I’m looking forward to an exciting couple of days ahead and lots of sun. Thank you for continuing to read and support these weekly collections - it means the most. Hopefully you find it fun to read about some recent things I’ve been up to and loving!
Three Things that Made the World Beautiful Last Week
A laid back day trip and trying new things! We spend the day in Baltimore on Saturday and it rained (boo). But it was still such a great day! We took a more relaxing approach and explored around/ate our way through the day. We also experienced fresh blue crab. I wasn’t super on board initially, but it honestly was more fun and tasted better than I thought it would!
Friends and margaritas. That’s it, that’s the point.
Humidity was making the smell of rose bushes linger in the air on neighborhood walks. A perk of springtime humidity!
Conversation: What I’m Loving Right Now
I thought this week would be a fun documentation of what I’m loving in this moment of life. I hope you find it interesting to get a view into what’s making my life extra good at this moment!
What I’m reading - The Five Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand
I love a good beach read, and Elin Hilderbrand is the queen of beach reads! Specifically, I love how they are always set in Nantucket. So far, so good with this one.
How I’m moving - Lots of walks and sculpt classes
The humidity is starting to pick up in GA, so walks are getting more strategic. I love taking a post-dinner walk with later sunset times, too. Sculpt classes are my favorite at home. I try to keep a variety in my workouts, and sculpt-type classes are feeling really approachable and sustainable to me right now.
What I’m eating - I’ve been on a kale salad kick and also really into burgers randomly (I think because they feel like summer)
We are heading into grilling season, what can I say! A little balance with what I’ve been craving recently.
Favorite routine - Bible in a Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz
A very Catholic thing for me to say - lol! I’m a bit behind, but I’m determined to try to get the full year and full Bible in throughout 2024! It’s something on my yearly list that brings daily fulfillment, and I feel like I’m learning so much more about my faith.
What my skin is loving - Pixi Vitamin C Tonic
A couple of recent Target finds have been really lucky! One of them is the Pixi Vitamin C tonic. I feel like I’ve never found a vitamin C product that really made a difference for me, but this one is noticeable! 10/10 so far.
What I’m listening to - Honest to Pete Podcast and Spotify Generated Playlists
I’ve recently stumbled into the Honest to Pete podcast by the mother/daughter duo, Katy and Carol. Carol lives in WI and Katy in NYC. Carol’s midwest vernacular makes me feel like I’m listening to a piece of home, and I love their mother/daughter relationship! Also, I’ve been feeling uninspired, so having some Spotify generated playlists to default to when I don’t know what to play has been so good.
Let me know what you’ve been loving recently! Things you’re into and what you’d recommend!
