Hello and happy Thursday! This has been a weird week for me, although I can’t really explain why. How are you? How’s your spring starting off? I think I am starting to get allergies, although with all the beautiful flowers around I don’t mind the trade off!

Here’s what I’ve been…

…Reading: I am still trucking away on the same books! I also read that Atlantic article… Sheesh. I won’t rant here, but you know I could!

…Drinking: I am back on my hydration game. I’ve been having LMNT in sparkling water, ice cold Nuun, tart red cherry juice in ginger sparkling water, and whatever else strikes my fancy! The spring weather has been warming up slowly, though I am definitely sweating more than I realize and must be hydrating appropriately!  

…Wearing: Supergoop Glowscreen. This is essentially a very lightly tinted sunscreen with a glowy sheen, and I’ve had it for a while but recently started wearing it again. I love it because it doesn’t feel like my makeup at all (note: I feel like some people say that about products, but then they do feel very much like makeup. This is not that!) It has SPF 40, and it makes me feel a little more put together. It also gets me weirdly stoked for summer!

…Listening to: Girl Historians podcast. Y’all, I am OBSESSED with this podcast. I came across it because they had John Green on as a guest as part of his book tour, but then I started listening to more and more episodes and it is DIVINE. Quick caveat: this won’t be the podcast for everyone. That said, I think it’s hilariously amazing and honestly deeply interesting.

…Trying: To resist spontaneous spending! I created a list in the Notes app on my phone to jot down the random things I find the urge to buy. This is great for two reasons: 1) it forces me to pause instead of purchase and 2) I can go back later to see if I still even want that item! So far, so good.

…Thinking About: Bike commuting to work this summer. Traffic is getting worse daily, and I love the idea of spending more time outside! We have a nice gym/locker room at my office, and I have the flexibility to get ready when I arrive so I really want to try it again!

…Excited For: My race this weekend! It’s going to be a long, challenging day in the mountains, but the weather should be super fun. I’m psyched to have a fun evening when it’s all said and done too! I’m hoping to not be too trashed on Sunday because there’s a cool rock formation nearby that I’d love to hike around before we drive home.

Also, I am weirdly excited for baseball season?! Last year we went to a few games, but I find myself really wanting to go to more this spring and summer. Weird!

I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!

Love,
