Wanna just pretend like my last post wasn’t four years ago? Fabulous, me too!

The world is nuts so I thought I would come back to the comfort of regular writing and creating to have an outlet that is not work, family, life stuff. I’m sure absolutely no one is reading my little baby blog anymore, but maybe I’m doing this for me. I loved blogging Mimi so let’s honor her.

Simple, to the point. The things getting me through and then some these days. Those things that are really thingin’… as they say.

• very hot baths with a ridiculous amount of Dr. Teal’s epsom salt soak. i have been a shower purist my entire life, but decided to give a mid-day bath a try during the holidays. that’s all folks! i will run a bath at quarter ’til midnight after a flight and not think twice about soaking for at least 20 minutes. add a book or tv show on the laptop- dream scenario. this is probably my main thingin’ thing right now!
• homemade cashew milk- my family thinks that i am insane for adding this to my already goop-y lifestyle, but wtf is new? soak nuts overnight, drain the next am, add to blender + vanilla + agave/date syrup (don’t even get them started on date syrup) and voila- a creamy, dreamy DIY free of all that weird shit in nut milks.
• reusable silicone mask via honest beauty. cue serial killer vibes, but legit IDC. i am obsessed with HB and now all things jessica alba and this mask is a treat. load on your favorite oil or moisturizer, plop on this mask and just scare the shit outta everyone.
• the fashion magpie– jen’s style harkens back to the days when bloggers actually attempted to write quality content regularly and pair it with great fashion + style moments. no shade to the current influencer scene, but i devour this site in a way that feels very 2010.
• grace, a slowdown, effortlessness + routines– these are my main things for the next several weeks and likely the remainder of 2022/life. everyday brings with it more external chaos, so let’s do the best we can. i am taking a break from coffee/booze/sugar but it’s not just a NYE resolution- it’s bringing me back to myself after a crazy but exhilarating summer + fall and a December that felt very heavy.

that’s it, those are my things. tyvm to my readers who no longer exist. i’m going to keep doing this though.
