I am back again with another newsletter-style blog post! I’ll be honest: these are pretty easy to write and force me to reflect on what I’ve been up to and thinking about. I joke that my short term memory is trash so I like forcing myself to think about the past week or so. I’ve also been trying to be more in tune with my life and focusing on where my feet are – instead of letting time fly by – and blogging helps 🙂 

What I’m…

…Reading: What Kind of Woman: Poems by Kate Baer. I really love poetry and I especially love poetry with lots of social commentary (which is honestly most, but not all, poetry). I find myself wanting to take pictures of so many of these poems. It’s great to read all at once or just a few poems at a time. 

…Eating: Berries berries berries! Patrick and I joke that we know we’ve made it when we can have multiple types of fresh berries in our fridge at once. Right now I think we have strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and cherries and it is bliss. We also have peaches, but that’s just a bonus! This weekend in WV, I also foraged and ate one bajillion wild blueberries. Can’t stop, won’t stop.

…Wearing: These Summersalt swimsuits. I got this one piece two summers ago and absolutely love it. It’s cute, it’s comfortable, and the quality has held up well. It looks like they don’t sell the colorway I have anymore but I’d gladly wear just about any of them. This summer I also bought one of their bikinis and I love it. This is the first summer that I have consistently worn a bikini and it feels empowering and kick ass. Highly recommend.

…Listening to: Soak Up The Sun by Sheryl Crow. This song randomly came on at the end of a really fun, pleasant run and man, it was glorious.I was sweaty, the sun was out, and I felt like I could’ve danced all the way back to my house. I also can’t stop listening to The girl, so confusing version with Lorde by Charli xcx. I am not fully caught up on the pop culture implications of it all but the lyrics are so so good.

…Drinking: LMNT. Nuun. All the electrolytes. Look, it’s summer and I am sweaty. If I don’t drink enough electrolytes during the day or before/during/after my runs, my brain starts to hurt almost immediately. Being dehydrated also makes me feel sluggish and tired and all around bad so I try to avoid it at all costs. I actually just bought more Nuun to keep a few tubes at my desk at work! 

…Thinking About: How to arrange our gallery wall in our living room. We plan to have it be a variety of our outdoorsy prints, art, and photos. I am very excited to make it happen so we just need to figure out where to put what. This weekend in WV I got a phenomenal beaver print. I was extremely excited about it.

…Excited For: The Eberhards coming to visit! It should be a quick but really fun time together. I can’t wait!

What about you?!
