This week has felt approximately 47 days long and I’ve been counting down to Friday. The kids were out Monday, then one was home three more days, and I swear every time I think I have a second to reset…something shifts again. I’m feeling a little worn down if I’m honest — but let’s move on to 5 fun things…
PS — If you missed this week’s newsletter, I shared a few things over there too. Make sure you’re on the list!
1. Champagne, Caviar…and Chicken Nuggets
Last week Stephanie hosted the cutest “high-low night” for our Community Group, and it was perfection. When we arrived, she had a bottle of champagne on ice and a caviar setup complete with McDonalds chicken nuggets (fully embracing the whole McNugget caviar moment). For dinner she served pizza, and everyone loved the whole vibe. Low effort, high fun.
2. The Prettiest Ribbed Vase
If you’re a newsletter subscriber, you already know about this gorgeous vase, but it deserved a permanent spot here too. The shape and size are so good, and it instantly elevates any bouquet! One of those home pieces you’ll use constantly.
3. The Best Kind of Delivery
During our party last weekend, we learned that one of our friends makes the best Bloody Marys (former bartender status confirmed). And I’m spilling the secret ingredient. It’s this mix.
So imagine our surprise when we woke up Sunday morning to a craft cocktail delivery sitting on our doorstep. A gorgeous Bloody Mary for Matt and a breakfast margarita for me. Truly the best start to our Snooze Day.
4. The Good Patch
These plant powered wearable wellness patches have been saving me lately as I’ve been getting back on the tennis court and my body has absolutely not been ready for that much action. I’ve been using the Relief patch for sore muscles and tight spots, and I love that the ingredients release gradually over 8 to 12 hours so it’s not a quick fix that fades fast.
They also have versions for pretty much everything: B12 for Energy, Dream for Sleep, Rescue for Recovery, Cycle for Balance, and Relief for Comfort, which makes them an easy toss in your bag kind of staple.
5. Wuthering Heights: My Take
Last night Emily hosted a Wuthering Heights themed supper club, so obviously I had to go see the movie first. I’m giving it 4.5 stars. It was moody and dark and the kind of film that leaves you feeling emotionally unwell in the best way. Laura and I left the theater in tears.
That said…it did not live up to the spicy hype from all the teasers! I went in expecting way more heat. Still, the performances and the atmosphere were so intense that I was fully locked in the whole time.
