Weekend Reading, 8.13.22.
Hello from the West Coast. It’s just a quick 4 night visit (I’m coming back here in two weeks for a longer stay/trip we are taking!) but it’s so lovely to be out here.

Last year’s big and exciting Prime Day purchase was the Opal ice maker. This year, it was my epilator.
In my Friday email newsletter, I do a weekly Q&A at the end. There are always questions about what to get for a BIG gift. The things (at least usually) most people don’t register for, like a big milestone birthday, a graduation, a new home, a big promotion, etc.!
The mood of the week improved dramatically when two of my best friends got back and we went out on Friday. My mood improved and the outfits also got better.. ha!
