HOME*WORK // Not a lot of work on the house to report here but our weekly blooms have been outstanding these last few weeks. I mean these peonies?! Holy buckets! We planted a few varieties of this sought out flower in our backyard but what gives? The plant keeps growing bigger and bigger every year but no buds. Thank goodness for the new Whole Foods on H Street... but there is a reason people call that place "Whole Paycheck" - yikes!
CRUSHING ON // Ice, ice baby! Now that the temperature is climbing around the 90s, I am loving iced coffee and tea. There is no way you'll catch me with a hot cup of joe until October!
READING // Ever since I laid eyes on Ashley Longshore's Teddy Roosevelt pop art, I have been o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d. I inquired about purchasing a painting but her work is a little too rich for my blood (i.e. $10K and above!) So I settled on purchasing her autobiography You Don't Look Fat, You Look Crazy. You guys! This book is seriously fun and should be on your bookshelf! Her unapologetic truths are refreshing and I found out that my hometown (Missoula, MT) was where she started painting!! Not convinced yet? Check out her Instagram here, she's a boat load of AWESOME!
THANKFUL FOR // My sister. We all have our people and mine is my sister Mikal. After fighting like cats and dogs when we were younger, a detente was reached years ago and we've never looked back. All hostility evaporated and she is now one of my very best friends - my confidant, the person who knows how to make me smile and the person I look up to. I'm counting down the days until we're reunited again... And I CANNOT wait until one day we are neighbors!!
THINKING ABOUT // Women. In a group text, my GF sent this well written op-ed about feminism in America. I've now read the piece three times as it makes me think about my own discomfort with the word feminism. In 2017 are we still struggling to be equal to men? The answer is yes and from here on out, I know I am going to make a better effort to help my fellow ladies succeed. Who's with me?! #letsgetfemale
WATCHING // We just procured tickets to the Moth Story Slam at Howard Theatre next Monday and I am excited! Not only is a show at Howard Theatre on my 101 list but the Moth is seriously amazing. It's so inspiring to watch real people tell true stories live without notes. That takes major guts to get up on that stage and share something personal. My goodness - I tip my hat to you storytellers!
WEARING // Tata Harper's Stress Relief Treatment oil on repeat. Every time I dab a little bit of this oil on my palms and neck and breathe deep, I swear my whole body shifts from tense to quiet. I've never been into scented oil but this little miracle worker has made me a convert. And it smells so fresh too - no patchouli stench here! I SWEAR!
* Image inspiration, beat the heat at your local pool this weekend!!
