Pleased Sunday everybody! We’ve bought our Emily again protected and sound (and tattooless;)) Other than that, we held up simply high-quality and hope you didn’t really feel the Emily void. How about that lounge reveal huh?! We additionally made positive to get loads of enjoyable content material whereas she was away on your running a blog pleasure so keep tuned. Okay, let’s hyperlink!
This week’s home tour is extra of an property with a number of extraordinarily cool buildings. It’s a property you simply have to go see to consider as a result of it’s so distinctive, so assortment, and stuffed with a lot soul.
From Emily: Two issues I binged on the aircraft residence from Belize (amongst others – 9 hours within the air, y’all! ). If you wish to weep brazenly in public, for those who like splashing your aircraft neighbor along with your tears then why not watch The Life Checklist?? It’s a brand new rom-com on Netflix (with Connie Britton amongst others). I liked it and even would say “loved” it regardless of my shoulder shaking weeping, however my goodness I couldn’t cease crying (it’s a couple of mom/daughter relationship, TW – the mom has/had most cancers and it’s extremely candy and heartbreaking). In fact, all I might take into consideration was how a lot I hope I’ve a relationship like this with my daughter when she is grown (after which I might spiral about dying and never having the ability to see her by means of life challenges, and so forth). I’m actually not promoting it, however in the identical world as Metal Magnolias (and but completely totally different) I’ll TOTALLY rewatch this film once I need a good cry (and it did make me rethink a few of my relationships and life decisions in a great way).
From Caitlin: After I began listening to Wednesday’s episode of The Day by day, I assumed I used to be in for a enjoyable, mild, kitschy half-hour. The topic? Shen Yun, the Chinese language dance troupe with ubiquitous, unmissable, overwhelming promoting in each main American metropolis. The billboards, posters, and radio adverts have turn out to be a staple in city life – they float above our freeways, plaster our development tasks, and it’s inconceivable to overlook the calls to “expertise China earlier than communism” on any FM station. So think about my shock, just some quick minutes in, once I realized that Shen Yun is – and this can be a spoiler artwork – the equal to a modern-day non secular cult. (If that isn’t loopy sufficient, even Kash Patel is concerned – this “dance troupe’s” worldwide impression goes a lot deeper than anybody imagined.) In the event you’ve additionally seen the Shen Yun adverts coat your metropolis streets, this can be a MUST-LISTEN – it seems like solely a matter of weeks earlier than this will get become the following huge Netflix or HBO documentary.
Additionally From Caitlin: On the lookout for a fantastic transitional climate tee? I’ve been sporting this one for the previous 5 months and I’m an enormous fan – it’s mild sufficient to interchange my tanks this summer time, however it presents a bit extra protection than a standard tank high for these in-between days. (I’ve rocked it in every single place from sweltering Australia to snowing Delaware – it’s good for layering and comprised of 100% cotton, so it cleans up fantastically.) Don’t knock that sleeve lower till you attempt it, okay? It’s rapidly turn out to be my favourite high to edge up a primary outfit (and the compliments from cool women on the road don’t harm, both!). I bought an XL and love the marginally drapey match – would stick along with your customary measurement right here for those who’d prefer to attempt it out!
From Jess: Between Arlyn and I, we would have to turn out to be underwear influencers! Simply kidding:) Now, as a lot as I might like to attempt one of many nicer manufacturers, I can’t justify spending $20 for a single thong. And since I’m attempting my finest to not put my cash into Amazon (my common go-to place), I hopped on over to Previous Navy. For $21 you may get a 6 pack of seamless underwear! I like the lowrise no-show thongs, however they’ve a ton of various varieties if that lower isn’t your desire.
From Arlyn: I actually don’t know who I’m anymore. One week I’m asking a couple of weight bench, and this week I’m recommending a protein powder. I’ve been utilizing Be Properly By Kelly for properly over a 12 months as a result of I desire a protein powder with actually easy substances. In truth although, I by no means actually appreciated all of it that a lot, because the style of monk fruit was so intense and one thing you needed to get used to. My dietician really helpful one by Simply Components so I ordered some samples to check out earlier than dropping $60 on one thing I didn’t find yourself loving. Properly, I find it irresistible! I bought the chocolate as a result of that’s simply who I’m, and whereas it does have some stevia and monk fruit, you actually don’t style it AT ALL. It’s so creamy, mixes properly into simply plain almond milk or water and is tremendous creamy and never grainy. It seems like consuming an indulgent chocolate milk!
From Gretchen: My hyperlink this week comes stolen from our candy photographer, Kaitlin! I really feel like each time I see her, she has one thing new and unimaginable to suggest. One in all as of late, we’ll give her a visitor spot on right here to inform you all about her finest finds, however till then…I’m poaching! We bought collectively to shoot a couple of issues this week and by some means began speaking about lighting. Particularly, her bed room sconces, that are these gorgeous ones from Crate and Barrel. In 2023, we gave her bed room a floral facelift (try that superior transformation right here) and although she has liked nearly every thing about it, her solely grievance was that the sconces have been just a bit too brilliant and uncovered for nighttime studying. She tried a couple of totally different lower-lumen bulbs to no avail till it lastly clicked–actually–simply purchase a dimmer change! This change means that you can plug your lamp in and modify it to the proper brightness. And it completely labored for her! What’s humorous is I truly personal the identical pair of sconces (I too had them as bedside lamps in my final condo) however I haven’t discovered the proper spot for them in my present place as a result of I had the identical grievance–in every single place I wished to hold them, the bulb simply felt too uncovered. However with the addition of a dimmer change, my choices for placement are limitless! I snagged two from Dwelling Depot however I’m fairly positive you’ll find them at nearly any ironmongery shop.
From Mallory: I sampled what felt like a whole bunch of paint colours to enrich this wallpaper earlier than I lastly landed on Shaded White by Farrow & Ball and man, it’s PERFECT. I solely painted the trim so it was value it to splurge on Farrow & Ball…but in addition let me inform you their paint is so thick you actually solely want one coat which is so ideally suited. Extremely suggest for those who’re searching for a greige:)
From Marlee: I’ve a shoe recc that’s not for everybody however they’re positively for me. They’re the Eager Jasper Sneakers – I’ve had them since final summer time and I looove them. I’m all the time searching for sneakers which are someplace between an off-the-cuff sneaker like Sambas or New Balances, however extra sporty or athletic with out going full working shoe/Hoka fashion and these are precisely that. They’re my favourite strolling sneakers – you possibly can put on them with leggings and go for a extra athletic look on an extended stroll or hike, or with denims for a day of bopping round city. They positively have a novel look however I like that they arrive in so many various colours and are a enjoyable/funky shoe. I’ve them in a muted pink (which is perhaps OOS) however there are SO many different colours that I like (extra choices on REI) and so they even have them for males! SO comfy.
As all the time thanks for hanging with us as we speak and see y’all tomorrow for one more fairly thrilling reveal. xx
