There are certain things I can’t get off my mind so I had to share - check out this list of the things currently capturing my attention.
Aritizia Matching Sets: The amount of these I have purchased in the past month is a little over the top. But like, all I want to wear are sweatsuits b/c, lockdown life amiright? Now that I’ve had the realization that matchy-matchy sets make you look both cozy AND intentional, i’m never going back. I’m on a quest to build out full-sets of my favorite colors (glacial green!! and mocha brown), including various ways to pair the sets: leggings/sweatpants/shorts for bottoms and sweatshirts/tees/tanks for tops. Are they pricey? Kinda. Are they worth it? For SURE.
Simple Modern Tumbler: I saw someone on Tiktok say that this water bottle is what “models” like to use. Honestly that’s not what sold me, but it is what led me to discover it. What did sell me is the slender and chic appearance, the large selection of colors, and the insulation (I put ice water in it before bed and it’s still icy in the morning, amazing). This goes with me everywhere now. I have the 24oz. in ‘moonlight’ (naturally), which is a midnight teal.
The Obama Book - ‘A Promise Land’: You know what’s helped me get through the fact that a violent white supremacist mob tried to overthrow the US Government? The Obama book. Obama will forever be to me a ‘voice of reason,’ and logic. and rationality. Reading this book every night before bed, instead of my normal doom-scrolling on Twitter, has made me so much less anxious. I love the intimate details and reflection of his rise in politics, from local Illinois politics to seeking the highest office in our country. The way he captures the spirit, the momentum of those early years is fascinating.
Listening to whatever Gen-Z is listening to: Obviously we are all collectively LOVING Olivia Rodrigo’s viral heartbreak banger, driver’s license, and since I low key fan girl the entire Gen Z Generation, I recently made a playlist comprised of solely 17-21 year old singers, and I am such a huge fan. Some of my favorites are:
-Maude Latour (Block Your Number is so infectious and sounds like if Lorde decided to release a punk rock song)
-Gracie Abrams (I love everything she’s ever put out, but her newest release ‘Brush Fire’ hits different)
-Benee (I can listen to ‘Kool’ on repeat - the lyrics are so relatable to anyone who has ever felt insecure)
