What I'm Loving This Summer: Skincare, Books & Easy Summer Recipes

Is it just me, or is everyone OOO right now? Honestly, rightfully so. It's still peak summer, and while I've got a little vacay envy of my own (hi, new baby + 100-degree heat + hormones), I wanted to share a few things that got me through the season. Maybe you'll indulge with me as summer winds down into its gentle, golden-hour close.

• Moving: Weekly online yoga, plus 5 minutes of stretching before bed (my nervous system thanks me)

• Eating: Fresh tomatoes, crusty bread, good cheese — basically anything that doesn't require turning on the stove in this heat

• Wearing: These lip balms, this self-tanning face spray, and body oil on repeat. Also just... living in flowy linen sets (Old Navy never misses)

• Watching: Just the right amount of scary for #summerween, one deliciously messy summer fling drama, and something a little unhinged

• Reading: I finally rejoined Goodreads (it had been a solid decade — no judgment please ?), and I've been racking up audiobooks while feeding the baby. Loved these short, delightful novellas, surprisingly enjoyed this memoir, and added this, this, this, and this to the TBR pile.

• Doing: Beginner cross-stitch kits (because they keep me off my phone)

Enjoy these last few weeks of summer!
