Planning a spa week for next week. Has anyone else found themselves lacking in their self care routine? I've definitely let my beauty routine, workout regimen, and diet go to the wayside. Next week will be dedicated to an at home version of a week long detox/spa. Just wondering if I should include a digital detox as well...

Adjusting my budget for May. Like many others, I'm really feeling the financial crunch and am making cuts to my budget anywhere and everywhere. May will be the first month I don't receive a paycheck on any kind, so I'll be making a lot of hard cuts and relying on my emergency fund to cover my four walls. I'd rather think this through now, so I can plan accordingly. I'm praying the quarantine ends soon and that I have a job to go back to when this is all over. To say I'm nervous is an understatement!

Researching Nancy Meyers. I've been living under a rock the past few decades (!) and just discovered the woman behind a large number my favorite movies is Nancy Meyers. I mean, the outfits and homes are always on point, as is the plot line. Every one of her movies screams cozy, chic, and very aspirational in style for me.

Flipping through vintage Martha Stewart magazines. I'm talking 1990s Martha Stewart magazines that I found in my mom's office. As a diehard Martha fan ever since I can remember, this is giving me life right now and a fresh dose of inspiration!

Trying to stay sane after a full month of being in quarantine. This week has been extremely trying and very stressful, so I'm ready for the weekend! As a special treat my sister ordered us a growler of coffee from my favorite local coffee shop.

Hoping you're also feeling a bit more cheerful this week,
