📓Lil Treasures #133: Bottle Flips and Emotional Support Notebooks

Plus magical sunscreen and pandemi snacking.

Jul 1

Hello friends. The internet has been extra dark this week, and that mixed with dealing with *gestures wildly* alllllll the annoyances and insurmountable costs that come with being a homeowner, I am spent. It is officially July and it’s hot everywhere and I am finding solace in videos like of this cutie bear below. If I’m going to live in a place that experiences 80% humidity on a regular basis, this is how I want to spend my days 🐻

🐻 Bear 🍃 @BearPosting

I also came across this tweet the other day and I relate to this perfectly:

NPR host: “If you’re like me, you spent the last 2 + years of the pandemic - Me (out loud to myself): Snacking NPR host: - gardening

I ate a lot of snacks (cheese) during the pandemic. I mean I still am, to be fair. Do I have issues digesting dairy from time to time? Yes. But is eating the cheese worth the troubles? Also yes.

I’m driving my kids 10+ hours to Texas camp today, so y’all say a prayer for me. We’re going to spend this 4th of July weekend the proper way, riding in a small West Texas Independence Day parade and stuffing ourselves full of funnel cakes. I hope your holiday weekend is equally as special!

Shall we do some treasures?

👩‍💻One of my favorites Kristin Du Mez wrote this fantastic piece in her newsletter this week. Well-worth the read!

🙌 I desperately want a hype squad like this bottle flip champion.

❗The internet has been on fire the last couple of weeks, mostly in the worst ways. A lot of times the good stuff gets lost in all of the trash chaos, but thankfully I didn’t miss this very important thread by Christina Edmondson.

🥪 May I present yet another culinary winner from Half Baked Harvest in the form of these Italian pub sliders.

🧴One of the MVPs of my summer skincare has been this SuperGoop "unseen sunscreen". It’s so light and non-streaky and I love it.

🍸 My friend Bri McKoy is a kitchen genius and posts some really great food+drink content, but don’t miss her post from earlier this week about nuance. So freaking good.
