I’m starting a new weekly post where I round up all of the things that I loved the week before. I am including outfits, recipes, music, television and movies, articles, books and whatever else brought me joy each week. It may seem silly but I am realizing that I need to relish in the things that bring me joy. Then each month over on my substack, I will round up the best of the best from all of my weekly round ups.
This week has been a weird one. L moved in with me so we are trying to figure out what to watch together and what we will watch separately. I started the newest season of Alex Rider this week. I’m not sure that I’m sold on it like I was the other seasons. I love a good spy show and will likely tough it out for that reason. We have started watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia together. I have been looking for something simple to watch in the background and this is doing the just the trick. I don’t know how I have never watched this before, but it is hilarious. Messed up, but completely hilarious.
I’ve been reading The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett. I am really enjoying it, but I’ve just been so exhausted over the past couple of weeks that I’ve not read more than a chapter or two a night. I have a long list of reads that I want to get to over the next few weeks but I need to get better about finding time to read.
I am trying so hard to get better about my morning and evening routines. I cannot remember the last time I had functional routines. I am finding inspiration through this article about morning routines and this one on evening routines. So this week is focused on setting myself up for success the night before through a good evening routine. Then starting the day off right with a good morning routine. I am also a big fan of romanticizing routines so I hope to create a “morning moment” each day with coffee and morning pages after a 30 minute walk with the dogs.
I’ve been less than great at getting up and ready for the day. I think I only managed to grab pictures of three outfits where I didn’t look like a total slob. The goal this week is to look a little better each day. I may have a bit of travel coming up this week so I picked out my outfits for the week. I hope this gives me higher likelihood of capturing the outfits!
