Hello there and happy Friday!
I’ve been on a roll. Got my teeth cleaned. Annual doctor visit scheduled. Mammogram, check! Called and made a dermatologist appointment to check out this weird patch on my nose. Haircut next week. Scheduled a massage. Cleaned out my closet. Walking every morning. Plating my meals ⅔ vegetables + fruits with ⅓ protein + carb. Eating berries for dessert and oranges for snacks. Taking 5 deep breaths in and out several times a day for a quick reset (try it! it really works!)
I’m following the advice of every flight attendant on every flight I’ve ever been on, but in my real-life scenario: “In the event of needing oxygen, place your own mask on first before helping others.” It’s true. The only way we can keep up with helping others is to take care of our own selves first. Look at me, I’m following orders. And all the better for it.
With that, let’s dig into this week’s Friday Faves.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Here are 10 organizations you can support today (and every day).

Just ordered this travel makeup bag (someone I follow on Insta recently recommended it). It holds SO much, and best of all, it lays flat on the countertop, so it’s easy to find things. I got it in white, but pink is cute.
I am loving this lipstick crayon. It lines and fills all in one.
