Welcome to The Weekly Whimsy!

Bonjour friend! This week is all about whimsical summer activities. IMO, they’re the best kind of whimsical activity. (For my Snail Mail friends, a Whimsical Summer Bingo Card is headed your way for July, hehe!) Let’s get whimsical, oui?!

3 whimsies for the week

1. Pick out a lucky mug for your morning sip.

   Set a timer for 30 seconds and breathe / think / wish aaaaaaall of the luck you can muster into your mug. Yay! Now every time you drink from it, you’re drinking good luck!

2. Make sun tea.

   Ahhh, a nostalgic summer tradition. Put 8 tea bags in a gallon jar or pitcher and let it steep outside in the sun for 5-6 hours, let cool in the fridge and enjoy. Add some slices of lemon or sprigs of mint for extra flavor!

3. Blow bubbles.

   Invite your inner-child to hang out and blow bubbles. You may have to take them to the store with you first to pick out some bubbles (when was the last time you had those on hand?) See how big of a bubble you can blow, watch it float away and pop!

2 quotes to tuck away

1. “Eating strawberries in the spring*, yes, that’s part of life.” - Vincent Van Gogh

2. “There’s a future version of you telling the most incredible story of how all this came together.” - Matt Cooke

*it’s technically still spring until June 21, right? ;)

1 thing I’m trying

I’m trying to find a good face moisturizer with SPF, haha. Any suggestions?

Wishing you a week full of the good stuff! <3
