February 19- February 26, 2024

(Denver, CO)

Had a very special visitor this week <3 Spent lots of time outside in the sunshine, finally unlocked a new level on my pasta maker, and saw Alleycat again. This week was a very good week for me :) Spring is in the airrrr

The vibe:

Crazy late, coloring books, and extra blue skies. 

Doing:

Woohoo kian’s in denver. We all went up and spent the night in Ft. Collins which was such a random pick but im glad we checked it out bc definitely cute for the summer time. It was dead when we went because of president’s day but we had a lovely hike and some delicious margaritas. It was nice to explore somewhere new and be in the mountains a bit – i seriously needed to touch grass after last weekend. So fun to hang out with my old roomie and my new roomies. I love when friends become friends <3

Wearing:

Thrifted this months ago (when i was shopping for my sister but literally couldn’t help myself when i saw this jacket) I hadn’t worn it yet but finally did and it’s such a good piece. There’s nothing more effortlessly cool than a good leather jacket – obsessed with the white stripes and the collar detail on this one. Plus, if the old man at the bar loves your jacket you know it’s good.

Watching:

I watched some of this when it first came out but now I’m into it again. The show "Explained" on netflix, they’re like 20 minute episodes about all kinds of things (athleisure, fairy tales, plastic surgery). They also have specific series about money, the mind, sex, etc. I’ve been trying to watch a one a day to ~~learn things. Kind of reminds me of How it’s made which i LOVED watching as a kid. 

Eating:

One thing about me is that i love a french toast. Like seriously love French toast. Another thing about me is that I love first watch. Maybe i love it because they have such good french toast. This blackberry lemon creme french toast made me feel like i was on vacation in hawaii. (I am thinking very specifically of this lilikoi macadamia nut french toast i had that changed my life). say french toast one more time.

Here is the copy pasted description of the first watch one so you can drool.  “Thick-cut, custard-dipped challah bread griddled and topped with lemon cream, fresh blackberries, mixed berry compote, creme anglaise and spiced gingerbread cookie crumbles. Lightly dusted with powdered cinnamon sugar.” so good. 

Reading:

Still reading Summer Island, it’s taking me so long to get through this book because i’ve been trying extra hard to go to bed early which means turning off all the lights so i can fall asleep in darkness. Honestly, so far in my opinion it’s not her best work im not loving the plot but i think i’m reaching the plot twist. 

Listening:

In my jazz era. I love it when im cooking and also when im working and also when im reading at night. When it snows in the morning I turn on jazz music and bake biscuits. I feel so sophisticated and it’s so soothing hahah. 

<3 See you next week silly chickens <3
