Happy Friday! I know I am 37 year old and should be above petty drama….but team Selena! Ha. I have always been a fan of Selena Gomez and have always rooted for her. I obviously do not know her from Adam, but what I have seen and heard over the years, it’s seems she really is a genuinely kind person. And I have always admired her for being open about her health and mental health struggles.

Besides immersing myself in celebrity drama, and the trial of Murdaugh (thank God he was found guilty!), this past week was same old same old. I have really been focusing lately on growing my TikTok ever since the young folks said that Instagram is dead. Or at least is becoming the new Facebook. I really enjoy creating TikToks way more than I do REELS. Instagram will always have a stigma of having to be aesthetically pleasing, while TikTok you can do whatever you want. There are no rules and the uglier the better, ha! You can check out my TikTok here.

Last weekend I met up with a friend of mine at Westville for brunch. I haven’t seen her since the fall, so it was nice to catch up. Westville is a great little spot in various locations around Manhattan. We went to the new one in Chelsea. I got scrambled eggs and a side salad, while my friend had a salad. We both shared sweet potato fries. The rest of my weekend I spent trying to find a stencil for my mirror project. I went to both Home Depot, Michael’s, and Blick, but none had what I was looking for. They mostly has singular prints and I want a border. It looks like I will have to browse through Amazon for a stencil. I was hoping to be done with my mirror project before I jetted off to Florida, but I think I will wait until I get back to start it.

What I am watching: I am almost done with season 3 of Outer Banks. I have to be honest… it’s getting a little ridiculous. All of the things that they have gotten away with is absurd. And John B’s dad is the worst. But it’s still very enjoyable to watch. I am so curious as to how this will end. I saw that it is renewed for another season, so that is exciting!

What I bought: I have been going on a shopping spree as I am heading on vacation soon. I have had a few minor annoyances with previous items that I bought– the swimsuit I wanted doesn’t fit (it’s more of a thong than full coverage bottom) and Revolve sent me the wrong colored sunglasses. So I had to repurchase those items. I also bought this floral mini dress, and this coral long sleeve midi dress. I needed new notepads, so I bought these floral ones. And last but not least, I bought this new matte lipstick in shade Kindness (nude pink). Oh and I bought a new book, which I am devouring.
