Weekly Wrap Up 5/13/22
I had another stellar reading week and a pretty good work week! We had an event for Nick’s job Wednesday night and it felt so good to get dressed up. Plus, summer weather finally arrived! The sunshine is so motivating for me and I’m counting the days until they open up our pool again. I can’t wait to go for swims, take a lunch break swim, and enjoy the pool after work. It’s my favorite part of summer. I’m a water girl!
I will say, I’ve struggled to compartmentalize this week and protect my mental wellbeing while still being informed. I knew the Senate didn’t have the votes to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, but it still stung to see and hear how much the government is working against people who can get pregnant. These are scary times, and something a lot of people, especially Black women, have been trying to warn us about.
Always grateful for books, but also need to take action.
What I Read:
Love on the Lake // Black Girls Must Die Exhausted // Nora Goes Off Script // Island Time // Tokyo Dreaming
Weekend Reading Plans:
Purchases of the Week:
Honestly, I think I’m going to need to be a No Buy June AND July. But all the things I’ve purchased have been necessities or things I’ve had my eye on for a while! I got the Lulu belt bag for summer walks with Beasie. Sometimes I don’t have pockets! I’ve been wanting an exercise dress for a while for golf and tennis this summer as well, so I’m glad I got these neutral options. And we love sun safety so the hat was necessary. Maybe the headbands and dress weren’t…but I’ll wear them a ton all season long!
Striped Hat // Black Exercise Dress // White Exercise Dress // Purple Gingham Dress // Belt Bag // Headbands // Heat Protectant
Got My Eye On:
Since I clearly don’t need much, I’m just eyeing this bodysuit and tee! I’ve never had a bodysuit before but I am very familiar with leotards lol but I like the square neck and it could be fun to try!

Weekend Plans:
I start rehearsals for my summer contract on Monday so this weekend will be spent relaxing and getting ready! I also need to organize my script still 😅 and I’m excited! I’m also going to get our patio furniture in order as well and I can’t wait to soak up the warm weather.
