1/ This Spotify playlist is SO GOOD.

2/ This is probably the most important thing I have ever read. If you are interested in the mental health field, YOU NEED TO READ THIS.

3/ HI IF YOU ARE A STUDENT YOU ARE WELCOME.

That's all I have for this week! We are watching Baby Driver right now and I can't decide if I like it? I really like the preview, but now that I am watching the actual show I am iffy haha. I feel like Ansel Egort's transition was so strong? Like he went from being a teenage boy in that movie teenagers loved, and now he is a getaway driver? Intense.

Also we went to the store today and J bought red delicious apples and I was like ??? WHO BUYS RED DELICIOUS APPLES!

Oh, and also we went to the dog park and there was a dog there that was literally bigger than me. Here, I'll link a picture. Anyway, it was one of the more magical moments of my life.

I hope you are all having a good weekend! Tucker has been a bit sick today, but hopefully he is better tomorrow because I've got a lot of homework to do.

Also do you ever eat something sweet and it like, hurts your tooth kind of? What is that? I am trying to eat soft licorice but it keeps hurting my left tooth? I haven't been to the dentist in 2 years maybe? Wait no... I went before we moved to New York. Ok, so like a year. BUT YOU GUYS. So I went to the dentist like a year ago, and then I was looking at my teeth with one of those dental mirrors and I saw a brown spot that didn't go away! And I was like, THERE IS NO WAY I HAVE A CAVITY. But then I never went to the dentist to check. So maybe it was a cavity and now it's grown and is making my teeth weirdly sensitive.

Teeth are like, a big deal. Cause like think. They are depreciating over time. My grandma says that when you get older you have to have a retirement fund just for your teeth lol.

XOXO

So we saw Dunkirk today and I was like, "Wow! We have the whole theatre to ourselves!" Then we realized that it was 12:15 pm on a Saturday lol. (Side not, is it so confusing to anyone else that 12:00 pm is noon?? It makes natural sense that 12:00 am is noon and 12:00 pm is midnight. WHY.)

Movie/T.V. Show Things:

• I have been watching these movies on Netflix and I am actually really surprised at home good they are.
• I AM SO EXCITED FOR THESE NEW EPISODES!!!
• Also very excited about this show. The continually go where no show has gone before and I love the boldness. 

Eclipse Things:

• No, I did not watch the eclipse because I live in Connecticut and would have had to drive like 12 hours to see it in totality. 
• However, I am loving this photo series.
• Also this is the prettiest photo I have ever seen. 

Cool things on social media:

• I really like this post. I have been practicing just saying "no" lately without offering a reason, and it's been going really well. Although it is funny to see how thirsty people get for a reason why. 
• I don't post about religion a lot here, but I think this post is really neat.
• This Instagram account is v cute and makes me miss the west coast and my mountains. 

XOXO

• I'm pretty sure I already shared this recipe, but I made these again because they are SO. DARN. GOOD. If you try none of these, TRY THIS ONE. 

Homes I'm loving. (I am obsessed with the idea of buy a home next year. Although, logically it's more like the year after that, or 2 years after that. But hey, can't stop me from looking!):

• This house looks amazing! I love the open kitchen and living room. AND that it has a finished basement. Hello visitors!
• Ok so out of all of these houses, we decided this is the one we would buy like, right now if we could. I am obsessed.

Other things:

• I thought this was the cutest graphic. I never thought about it when I was a kid, but it's definitely something I want to teach my kids lol.

Can one of you Portland readers please buy this house and then sell it to me in a year? Thanks!

This state raised it's smoking age to 21. What do we think? Yay or nay?

Got this puppy cam for $50. If you have a dog and want to know what they do when you are gone, you NEED it! You can even speak through it. Yesterday at dinner we saw that he had something but couldn't tell what it was. So I got on there and told him to drop it, and he did! Came home to find out it was a dead rose that had dropped off my plant lol. But imagine if it was a shoe or something! #lifesaver #notsponsored

Trying to be more #nowaste and #ecofriendly so I picked this up and am loving it so far. Plz drop links/suggestions of your fave ways to be no waste or eco friendly! My current struggle is with lint rollers ughhhhh. It seems like such a waste of pape.

One of my fave blogger friends start a YouTube! Go subscribe!

This movie looks SO GOOD. Have any of you seen it? What did you think?

Last, here are all the cutie clothes I found online this week that I WANT. I'm tellin' ya, life when we're double income will be a whollllllllle other ball game!

Has anyone else watched Gypsy? It's pretty good but I feel it could have ended stronger. Also I have to lol because it's about a therapist who lives in Connecticut and commutes to the city. And I'm an almost therapist who lives in Connecticut and commutes to the city. 😱

THIS HARRY POTTER COLLECTIVE GIVES ME LIFE.

Um, dad goals right here.

Do you even love your dog/cat if you don't do this?

This is the cutest dress!

You need these for your skincare routine! They are normally $5, but are on sale for $2.50 right now. I would have bought 10 but they only let me get 3 lol.

I have a hard time just sitting and watching T.V., so I picked up one of these a few weeks ago and it's been really fun to get back to basics!

This video about addiction IS SO GOOD. If you never click a link I post, please please please click this one. It's so good and something everyone should know.

This video of beagles that are used for lab testing being released for the first time is SO PURE. It makes me sick people experiment stupid cosmetics on poor animals. If anyone knows of a good app that says what is cruelty free, let me know! (I downloaded the one they reference in the video and it keeps giving me an error!)

These dog memes are TOO GOOD.

One of my favorite shows is being turned into books!!

Highly recommend this video about Scleroderma. Chanel is truly inspiring!!

For any LDS friends struggling with church culture, this article is really good! (Also move out of your state if you can lol.)

This article is so inspirational! And also has a good implications for mental health :)

Idk why I am so obsessed with comparing working moms vs stay-at-home moms vs working full time without kids. This article was really interesting to me, though!

On the mom note, I super love this birth story! I really like the vibes they had going on and have always imagined myself doing similar. It was neat-o to see someone else doing the same thing!

THIS IS SO PURE!!

Adding all these movies to my list.

I love this idea regarding hair stylists! Sometimes we can make such a difference and not even know it.

Last, here are my fave finds for under $25!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend! Three days yi yi!!!

The new frappuccino from Starbuck's is so good. If you don't drink coffee just ask for a "mint mocha frappuccino with a cream base". SO GOOD.

I am loving the photography in this post.

Really want to go to Tennessee after reading this.

Not a parent, but I love this advice.

I know this has been viral for a while, but I still love it.

This post has got me wanting to go to England, like STAT.

Are you even kidding me with this townhouse?? NEED.

Oh, and also seriously considering buying this when we make our next move.

Just finished this podcast, and it was pretty interesting. Different than I thought it would be, but still good insight.
