Everything I Want to Buy This Spring

Okay...maybe not everything I want to buy... Up until last week, I can't remember the last time I went shopping for clothes online or in store. I've been living in super casual sweaters and jeans for months. Not simply because it was winter, but I just didn't love my clothes. Not to mention my funk doesn't really encourage putting effort into my outfits. Nothing ever seems to look good enough to inspire confidence.

Links I Love 008

As the wise philosopher Drake once said, "better late than never, but never late is better." I know I said I would try to update more as if anyone reads this at all, but my funk is still lingering over my head. I tried to put together tons of different posts, but all of them just felt really uninspired. No one wants to see that kinda stuff and I certainly don't want to look back on it. April is almost here which is kind of a bummer, but also a chance for a fresh start. I figured I'd end March strong by sharing some stuff from around the internet I like right now. I made it a bit longer and chose all kinds of stuff from food to wellness and, of course, new music.

What I'm Listening To, Volume 6

We spend so much of our lives curating the person we want others to see, and sometimes it can feel draining. Not to mention when you hit emotional lows and feel like you just can't really show that to other people. It's almost like the masks I (we) continually wear have just been exposed revealing far too much to the outside world. This feels way too deep for a measly little post about a playlist I made, but hey what can you do?

My 2018 Cooking #GOALS

Okay, real talk. Looking at all of the social media posts of meals couples made on their Valentine's Day dates was barf-inducing. So finally after logging out when I just couldn't take anymore, I went browsing my bookmarks, Pinterest, and Tumblr to create a list of #GOALS for the year. Being single can suck when it comes to cooking because when it comes to purchasing ingredients you have to be really strategic. Most ingredients, if not all, aren't packaged for one so creating a menu of meals has to use whatever I've purchased so it doesn't go to waste. Good news is I learned how to cut the recipe for pancakes for a single serving.

Mix No. 14: 70s Love Songs

Now, how did I stumble on such a niche theme like love songs from the 1970s? It's relatively simple: Fondue parties. Oh yes, that wonderful, dinner party staple from the 1970s is back. Okay, maybe it's just back for my friends and myself, but I've been to a few fondue parties in 2018 so that's where I got this idea. It came to me because while enjoying melted delicacies with a long stick dipped into a hot pot, we frequently listen to music from the 1970s. Get where I'm going with this?

Five Fun Things: Super Bowl Edition

It seems like this year everyone has Super Bowl Fatigue. I get it. Who wants to watch Tom Brady win yet another Super Bowl? It's like Groundhog Day. Just the same thing over and over. Trust me, as someone who lives in a different kind of Groundhog Day scenario, I get it all too well. But, truly, even if you can't get behind the game itself, there's always the commercials and the food. In honor of the big game that will be shoved down our collective throats for at least the next 72 hours, I thought why not make the most of it with five fun things. These things will either enhance your Super Bowl 52 experience or just be (hopefully) entertaining for about 5 minutes.

When I'm Bored I Browse...

I won't sugarcoat anything. January was a gigantic bummer. I had zero motivation to do anything. I'm not sure if it was just being over life's bullshit or the existential crisis that inevitably comes with finishing college and wondering why I can't get my life together if everyone else (seemingly) already has. But on the upside there's a Zara gift card burning a hole in my pocket.
