Happy Sunday everyone! We’ve got our Emily backmost harmless and dependable (and tattooless;)) Aside from that, we held up conscionable good and anticipation you didn’t consciousness the Emily void. How astir that surviving country reveal huh?! We besides made definite to get a batch of amusive contented portion she was distant for your blogging pleasance truthful enactment tuned. Ok, let’s link!

This week’s location tour is much of an property with aggregate highly chill structures. It’s a spot you conscionable request to spell spot to judge due to the fact that it’s truthful unique, truthful collection, and afloat of truthful overmuch soul.

From Emily: One movie I watched connected the level location from Belize (amongst others – 9 hours successful the air, y’all! ). If you privation to weep openly successful public, if you similar splashing your level neighbour with your tears past wherefore not ticker The Life List?? It’s a caller rom-com connected Netflix (with Connie Britton amongst others). I loved it and adjacent would accidental “enjoyed” it contempt my enarthrosis shaking weeping, but my goodness I couldn’t halt crying (it’s astir a mother/daughter relationship, TW – the parent has/had crab and it’s incredibly saccharine and heartbreaking). Of course, each I could deliberation astir was however overmuch I anticipation I person a narration similar this with my girl erstwhile she is grown (and past I would spiral astir dying and not being capable to spot her done beingness challenges, etc). I’m truly not selling it, but successful the aforesaid satellite arsenic Steel Magnolias (and yet wholly different) I volition TOTALLY rewatch this movie erstwhile I privation a bully outcry (and it did marque maine rethink immoderate of my relationships and beingness choices successful a bully way).

From Caitlin: When I started listening to Wednesday’s occurrence of The Daily, I thought I was successful for a fun, light, kitschy 30 minutes. The subject? Shen Yun, the Chinese creation troupe with ubiquitous, unmissable, overwhelming advertizing successful each large American city. The billboards, posters, and vigor ads person go a staple successful municipality beingness – they interval supra our freeways, plaster our operation projects, and it’s intolerable to miss the calls to “experience China earlier communism” connected immoderate FM station. So ideate my surprise, conscionable a fewer abbreviated minutes in, erstwhile I learned that Shen Yun is – and this is simply a spoiler creation – the equivalent to a modern-day spiritual cult. (If that isn’t brainsick enough, adjacent Kash Patel is progressive – this “dance troupe’s” planetary interaction goes truthful overmuch deeper than anyone imagined.) If you’ve besides seen the Shen Yun ads overgarment your metropolis streets, this is simply a MUST-LISTEN – it feels similar lone a substance of weeks earlier this gets turned into the adjacent large Netflix oregon HBO documentary.

Also From Caitlin: Looking for a large transitional upwind tee? I’ve been wearing this one for the past 5 months and I’m a immense instrumentality – it’s airy capable to regenerate my tanks this summer, but it offers a spot much sum than a accepted vessel apical for these in-between days. (I’ve rocked it everyplace from sweltering Australia to snowing Delaware – it’s cleanable for layering and made from 100% cotton, truthful it cleans up beautifully.) Don’t sound that sleeve chopped until you effort it, okay? It’s rapidly go my favourite apical to borderline up a basal outfit (and the compliments from chill girls connected the thoroughfare don’t hurt, either!). I got an XL and emotion the somewhat drapey acceptable – would instrumentality with your modular size present if you’d similar to effort it out!

From Jess: Between Arlyn and I, we mightiness request to go underwear influencers! Just kidding:) Now, arsenic overmuch arsenic I would emotion to effort 1 of the nicer brands, I can’t warrant spending $20 for a azygous thong. And since I’m trying my champion to not enactment my wealth into Amazon (my accustomed go-to place), I hopped connected implicit to Old Navy. For $21 you tin get a 6 battalion of seamless underwear! I similar the lowrise no-show thongs, but they person a ton of antithetic types if that chopped isn’t your preference.

From Arlyn: I truly don’t cognize who I americium anymore. One week I’m asking astir a value bench, and this week I’m recommending a macromolecule powder. I’ve been utilizing Be Well By Kelly for good implicit a twelvemonth due to the fact that I similar a macromolecule pulverization with truly elemental ingredients. Truthfully though, I ne'er truly liked it each that much, arsenic the sensation of monk effect was truthful aggravated and thing you had to get utilized to. My dietician recommended one by Just Ingredients truthful I ordered immoderate samples to trial retired earlier dropping $60 connected thing I didn’t extremity up loving. Well, I emotion it! I got the cocoa due to the fact that that’s conscionable who I am, and portion it does person immoderate stevia and monk fruit, you truly bash not sensation it AT ALL. It’s truthful creamy, mixes good into conscionable plain almond beverage oregon h2o and is ace creamy and not grainy. It feels similar drinking an indulgent cocoa milk!

From Gretchen: My nexus this week comes stolen from our saccharine photographer, Kaitlin! I consciousness similar each clip I spot her, she has thing caller and unthinkable to recommend. One of these days, we’ll springiness her a impermanent spot connected present to archer you each astir her champion finds, but until then…I’m poaching! We got unneurotic to sprout a fewer things this week and someway started talking astir lighting. Specifically, her chamber sconces, which are these stunning ones from Crate and Barrel. In 2023, we gave her chamber a floral facelift (check retired that awesome transformation here) and though she has loved astir everything astir it, her lone ailment was that the sconces were conscionable a small excessively agleam and exposed for nighttime reading. She tried a fewer antithetic lower-lumen bulbs to nary avail until it yet clicked–literally–just buy a dimmer switch! This power allows you to plug your lamp successful and set it to the cleanable brightness. And it wholly worked for her! What’s comic is I really ain the aforesaid brace of sconces (I excessively had them arsenic bedside lamps successful my past apartment) but I haven’t recovered the close spot for them successful my existent spot due to the fact that I had the aforesaid complaint–everywhere I wanted to bent them, the bulb conscionable felt excessively exposed. But with the summation of a dimmer switch, my options for placement are limitless! I snagged 2 from Home Depot but I’m beauteous definite you tin find them astatine conscionable astir immoderate hardware store.

From Mallory: I sampled what felt similar hundreds of overgarment colors to complement this wallpaper earlier I yet landed connected Shaded White by Farrow & Ball and man, it’s PERFECT. I lone painted the trim truthful it was worthy it to splurge connected Farrow & Ball…but besides fto maine archer you their overgarment is truthful heavy you truly lone request 1 overgarment which is truthful ideal. Highly urge if you’re looking for a greige:)

From Marlee: I person a footwear recc that is not for everyone but they’re decidedly for me. They’re the Keen Jasper Sneakers – I’ve had them since past summertime and I looove them. I’m ever looking for shoes that are determination betwixt a casual sneaker similar Sambas oregon New Balances, but much sporty oregon diversion without going afloat moving shoe/Hoka benignant and these are precisely that. They’re my favourite walking shoes – you tin deterioration them with leggings and spell for a much diversion look connected a agelong stroll oregon hike, oregon with jeans for a time of bopping astir town. They decidedly person a unsocial look but I emotion that they travel successful truthful galore antithetic colors and are a fun/funky shoe. I person them successful a muted pinkish (which mightiness beryllium OOS) but determination are SO galore different colors that I emotion (more options connected REI) and they besides have them for men! SO comfortable.

As ever acknowledgment for hanging with america contiguous and spot y’all time for different beauteous breathtaking reveal. xx
