Vacation is over and it is time to go home. I head back to Charleston today. It was such a great week and really just so nice to have so much time with my family. All ten of us, together in one place. Really just such a gift and so good for the soul! Usually after a week away I am eager to get back to regular life but if I am being honest I am not quite ready to go home… I’d happily stay another week or two if we could. (As long as I could bring Tyrion of course, he stayed home in Charleston and I miss him very much.) I hope you enjoy this week’s links and wish you a wonderful weekend ahead!
Weekend Reading 7.17.21
This Mexican corn salad recipe looks amazing.
These goldfish blew my mind. Don’t dump your pets!
Brightland’s new strawberry vinegar is AMAZING – I want to put it on everything.
I loved this piece about the power (or lack thereof?) of filler words.

Really looking forward to the Anthony Bourdain doc.
I need to get some picks about the Nordstrom sale but I was able to shop this week and I did take advantage of the Chantecaille mascara deal. It’s so expensive otherwise but truly, the best mascara. I also bought this Necessaire set as I go through both products in copious quantities.

Spanx faux leather leggings, on sale. I buy a pair every single year during the Nordstrom sale. I find they run true to size and take a medium.

My favorite white eyelet dress is on sale – nearly half off! Comes in pink, yellow, and blue too.
OK the national parks merch is actually SO good!
