1. What We’re Watching : Favorites List
Movies, shows, documentaries, YouTube rabbit holes—we’re into it all.
- A World of Calm – HBO
If you have sleep anxiety (Sunday scaries but make it nightly lol), this one’s for you. We watch a full episode before bed, then turn the TV off, put our NodPods on, and fall right asleep. My favorite episode is narrated by Lucy Liu—start with Episode 1. - Overcompensating – Amazon Prime
A queer comedy-drama created by Benito Skinner (aka Benny), following a closeted college athlete as he stumbles through friendship, identity, and total chaos. Charli XCX curated the soundtrack and makes a guest appearance. Think campus parties, coming-of-age drama, and Charli-level energy.
2. What We’re Eating & Craving
What’s been on repeat in our kitchen—or what we’ve been grabbing on the go.
- First Meal of the Day
Suja green juice, milk kefir, brazil nuts. First thing in the morning, always on an empty stomach—you get the vibe. We’ve been starting the day with a shot of kefir, a green juice, and two Brazil nuts to seal the deal. - Snack Tray as Lunch
We’ve been obsessed with our vintage four-compartment serving tray, and it’s basically become our lunch routine. We fill it with whatever we’re craving that day, but staples include all-natural turkey breast deli meat, hard cheddar, olives, mixed nuts, and fresh fruit. It’s giving grown-up Lunchable, and we’re not mad about it.
3. Music & Podcast Favorites List
The sounds setting the mood this month—focus, laughs, and deep dives.
- Music
Addison Rae – “Headphones On”
Headphones on, summer modeee. This is our pick for the unofficial anthem of the season. Pop Girl summer is alive and well!! Also- found the shirt Addison was wearing in the headphones on music video. Link is Here. - Podcasts
Long Winded – Gabby Windey
Gabby is mother. That’s it, that’s the blurb. If you know, you know. If you don’t—go find out. (watching her episodes on YouTube are my fav)
4. What We’re Reading
Books, magazines, and whatever else we’re flipping through lately.
- I Heard Her Call My Name – Lucy Sante
- One of those books that pulls you in right away—I’ve been reading it every night until I fall asleep. Lucy Sante writes about her transition later in life with so much clarity, humor, and depth. It’s personal and reflective, but also sharp and alive. (also lgbtqia books only hereee)
- Cosmopolitan (the print version)
- We get Cosmo delivered to our actual mailbox, and the dopamine hit when we see it peeking out? Unmatched. It’s nostalgic, it’s simple, I love it.
5. What We’re Wearing
Clothes, accessories, loungewear, or new favorites in our wardrobe List.
- Everlane – Essentials that last a lifetime – SS25 wishlist
- New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam X 880v14 Running Shoes
- These shoes have already been everywhere with me. I gave up trying to keep them clean, and honestly? That’s when they became my favorite. I always wear them through the airport—not just because they’re comfy, but also because they feel too dirty (and too bulky) to pack.
- Archies Arch Support Flip Flops
- Absolutely obsessed with these flops. Meg got them last year for our Hawaii trip—she has super sensitive feet and needs solid arch support. I was team Havaianas… until I tried hers. Let’s just say: Havaianas could never. I finally grabbed a pair this year, and now I totally get the hype.
6. Skincare & Beauty Faves
The current go-to’s that are actually working for us.
- numbuzin No.5 Sheet Mask | Vitamin Spotlight Sheet Mask
- New holy-grail sheet masks! They helped fade a sun spot in 1 use!
- Pimple Patches
- $8.99 for 309 pimple patches? If the price didn’t get you, then just know these are the best pimple patches we have ever used! And we’ve pretty much trialed every brand.
- Medicube PDRN Serum
- This serum! Single handedly repaired my skin barrier after our laser treatment.
- BB Cream with Sunscreen
- Will be buying this again and again! It’s the perfect BB cream. Apply, add some blush or bronzer, and you’re good to go! It doesn’t even need a setting powder personally.
- Enaskin Naturals Under Eye Patches for Dark Circles
- Under $20 for 30 eye patches, thank god! We basically use these every other day because they’re just that good. I’ve never used an eye patch with these results. Instant depuff and brightening!
9. Creative Outlets
What we’re making, designing, writing, filming, or dreaming up.
- Pinterest– Catch me on Pinterest these days—dare I say it’s the healthiest form of social media? We’re entering into moving season (!!new house energyy!), so I’ve been daydreaming up our new office and bedroom. It’s giving spa, vintage, silver and pearls.
- The Artist’s Way – Technically a book, but I had to put it here under creative outlets. I’ve been listening to it lately and just started doing Morning Pages. I’m new to it, but excited to explore this new outlet 🙂
10. Life Moves & Wealth-Building
Big shifts, small wins, or behind-the-scenes things we’re doing to build the life we want.
- Rocket Money
- my BFF this year. I used to check my bank accounts daily because I had overdraft anxiety (lol). Rocket Money’s low balance alerts gave me peace of mind, and now I never stress or check. It’s also helped me start my wealth-building journey with automated savings—which felt impossible before. 10/10 recommend if money management has ever made you spiral or you’re wanting to see everything in one place.
- Trusted House Sitters
- have you heard of THS? if not, let me introduce you to your new best friend <3 We use THS to stay in cool places for free—so far: Manhattan, Detroit, San Francisco, Asheville, and Seattle. We only sit for cats because they’re easy, and we’re cat people. There’s no money involved; it’s basically a free Airbnb plus a kitty to enjoy while you’re there.
What we’re planning next month
- Asheville, NC.
- We’re so excited to stay in West Asheville for 2 weeks! Stay tuned for all the travel recommendations, packing guides, and routine tips for traveling!
