Good morning!
Writing early today before I drop the kids at school and hop right on the highway for a quick 24 hours in Houston with one of my very favorite people ever, so I’ll make it fast!
I spent the last year really prioritizing my sobriety which, for me, meant a lot of time at home. I’m feeling really good, and strong, and ready to get back to adventuring and seeing my people so I have plans for a very fun summer and it starts today. On a serious note, you never realize how many people will drop you like a rock once you get sober - I am so grateful to my friends who have hung in there with me and shown me so much love.

On a lighter note, I’ve been reaching for the same old, same old for weeks now and want to share a few favorites. I love finding things that just *work* regardless of price point, so let’s jump in.
These sandals. This is it for me this summer. They’re perfect. Comfy, casual, but not boring, neutral to go with everything. What I always wanted in an under $30 sandal.
This lipgloss. The perfect cool tone pink - lavender sorbet is the shade. It plumps without burning - I can’t stand glosses that sting! It’s a splurge for glosses but try as I might, I cannot find a color that’s comparable.
What would I do without wisps? I keep these in my car and Olivia and I use them just about every morning. They are actually great (used gently) for getting any residual food out of braces and freshening up post coffee breath.
On the hair front, two drugstore buys I have been *loving* are the Monday dry shampoo and OGX bond repair heat protectant spray. The price point on both is amazing and they get the job done. The dry shampoo has no build up feeling, smells light and fresh, and gets an awesome Yuka score if you are tracking that sort of thing. The OGX spray is a favorite because the spray is so wide and even that I really feel like it’s coating my hair before I use heat on it. I’m still trying to grow my stubborn to grow hair and I’m hopeful this will help.

A final programming note - I’ve partnered up with Wayfair to share some favorites over the next couple weeks (always appreciate your support!) and my burlwood coffee table is on sale - so I’m linking that here for you!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend,
