Happy Friday!
Keeping this intro short today because…well, Maycember.
Let’s get right down to it.
PS – I’ve shared some fun content this week…my sleepaway camp package ideas and my weekly newsletter covering lunchbox burnout, screen-free summer ideas, and weird parties. Don’t miss it!
1. Officially Living In This Tub
My bathtub was installed last weekend, and I honestly could not have been more grateful to our contractor for making my Mother’s Day dream bath soak happen.
Anyway, I am OBSESSED with my new tub. Crystal found me a petite-sized version, and it fits me perfectly with no awkward sliding around.
I basically lived in the tub at our old house and have missed taking baths SO much the past few years. I’ve already been rolling in my TV for Netflix baths and loading up the tub with magnesium salt for tennis recovery, so honestly my productivity is probably about to plummet.
It turned out even prettier than I imagined. Just pretend there’s gorgeous art flanked with sconces because those are coming soon…
The same view before the renovation…
2. Brunch Outfit
This was my brunch outfit last weekend, and I’ve been waiting MONTHS for it to finally be warm enough to wear these beautiful tweed shorts! They’re from the same shop where I found those white statement jeans I recently shared that y’all loved.
I thought they were perfect for that dressed-up-but-still-comfortable vibe, and the gold button details are so pretty in person. Such a fun outfit for spring and summer dinners, showers, brunches, or vacations.
3. Book Review: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
4/5 STARS: Definitely a slow burn, but written so beautifully. This book felt thoughtful, emotional, reflective, and quietly powerful in a way that really sneaks up on you. I loved the letter format and how the story unfolded through relationships, grief, regret, and connection over time. It’s not plot-heavy or fast-paced, but the writing itself is what makes it special.
Also, the audiobook is absolutely the way to go for this one. The narration was fantastic!!
4. The Hanger Trick
Now that I finally have access to my closet again, I flipped everything over to warm weather clothes this week. I’ve shared this tip before, but every time I do a seasonal closet cleanout, I re-hang all my hangers backwards. Then as I wear each item, I flip the hanger back around. By the end of the season, if the hanger is still backwards…it probably needs to go. It’s honestly one of the easiest ways to see what you actually wear versus what’s just taking up closet space.
5. An Old Favorite
Back to one of my all-time favorite spring nail colors…OPI Dutch Tulips. I love that it’s a bright red, but leans just pink enough to feel really fresh for spring and summer. One of those colors I always end up coming back to this time of year.
