Good afternoon loves! I am done with quarantine and so excited to rejoin society. This quarantine felt so short (and was!) compared to last year’s two week stint indoors. Last year’s felt much harder because my apartment wasn’t as cozy and I missed all the first snow which gave me a lot of fomo. This time, quarantining flew by and felt like a necessary reminder to stay still sometimes. I was supposed to have come off of three weeks of travel for work to then travel for fun. My body said NO. And I respect that lol. I spent the morning cleaning my space and left the window open to invite some new air & new energy to circulate. Back to work tomorrow!

Boa tarde amores! Eu terminei a quarentena e estou tão animado para voltar à sociedade. Essa quarentena pareceu tão curta (e foi!) em comparação com as duas semanas do ano passado em ambientes fechados. O ano passado foi muito mais difícil porque meu apartamento não era tão aconchegante e eu perdi toda a primeira neve que me deu muito FOMO. Desta vez, a quarentena passou voando e parecia um lembrete necessário para ficar parado às vezes. Eu deveria ter saído de três semanas de viagem a trabalho para depois viajar por diversão. Meu corpo disse NÃO. E eu respeito isso rs. Passei a manhã limpando meu espaço e deixei a janela aberta para convidar um novo ar e uma nova energia a circular. De volta ao trabalho amanhã!

abraço

Good Read

I am attempting to start a new book. As a kid I was such an avid reader. I remember being so interested in books that I would wake up in the middle of the night and crouch next to a lamp on the floor to get a little more time reading. It's frustrating now that books tend to just put me to sleep. I've said quite a bit that, "When I'm actually an adult I'll read every day before bed," rather than watch TV or scroll through Instagram. So I have yet to reach full adulthood. I have heard so many things about how using screens right before bed isn't ideal and I'd love to start a healthier habit. This week I will read before bed even if it just makes me sleepy. It's also occurred to me that maybe I should find some more enthralling books haha.

Black Silk Maxi Slip - A gift from my Mamma

Happy Saturday! I got off of work not too long ago and am currently brainstorming on what to do with the rest of the afternoon. It's a bit chilly today so cozy things are sounding best. This evening I am going to my friend Dani's modern dance performance in Pasadena and then going out dancing with some friends in Hollywood. Should be a festive little night on the town! My friends Sabrina and Meg who I'm going out with tonight are moving to the Caribbean in about ten days, so I'm soaking up as much of them as possible before their impending departure. They have lived a few blocks away from me since I moved to Long Beach and I am so sad to lose such awesome neighbors! I'm obviously very excited for them though and have been playing with the idea of going to visit. I hope you're all having a lovely weekend!
