Not much to talk about this week but just some random thoughts. I recently started doing more Yin style yoga (it’s slow and more about relaxation than it is a good workout). I found SarahBethYoga on youtube and love her soothing yoga videos. I do them right before bedtime and I feel like it’s been helping me sleep better.

Something I tried that I wasn’t a fan of: magnetic eyeliner with false lashes. Yep it’s a liquid eyeliner that contains magnetic particles, and the false lashes have little magnets stuck to them. So in theory you can take them off and re-adjust, etc but in practice, once you take off the lashes, it removes the eyeliner with it. So you’re left with funky looking eyeliner and lashes that don’t restick. Also they are uncomfortable AF. If I’m going to do false lashes, give me the old-fashioned ones any day (or better yet I would go back to extensions once things open up again and we’re all vaccinated).

This week I enjoyed Lo’s post on cobalt (big yes to this trend) and Kat’s post on books by Asian Americans (I definitely added some of these to my future book list). And if you missed Leah’s post on Whiteness, please do read it. It is so well-written and thoughtful, and I learned a thing or two.

We’re heading back to California this week and I’m nervous. Wish us luck that we make it back healthy and with a relatively uncranky toddler! As much as I loved being in Hawaii with family, I’m antsy to get back. I miss our dogs, our friends, and Trader Joe’s lol.

P.S. Shopbop is having a “Style Event” and well I got sucked into it because I was on the lookout for more mom jeans/oversized 90’s jeans. I’ve been looking to size up on the Agolde 90’s jeans that I reviewed. I also threw in some Levi’s ribcage jeans because I wanted to know how they compare to the Agolde ones (and then added the Agolde ones with a ripped knee since those are part of the sale and wanted to try them since Andrea mentioned they’re not as thick as the unripped ones). And finally I added these light colored Birkenstocks because I’ve been wanting another pair (my black Birkenstocks are the MVP of my closet so I know I’ll wear them a lot). Not everything qualified for the sale (like my light colored Birkenstocks) but there’s a lot on sale. The Hereu Bombon bag that I’m reviewing Tuesday (spoiler: I love the bag) are currently on sale (both the regular Hereu Bombon size that I have and the smaller one—with the sale they are much cheaper than what I paid). It’s one of those spend more save more deals, so if you’ve been eyeing something at Shopbop like I have, then it’s a great time to try! Use code STYLE and sale is going on until April 16.
