  • Today would have been my grandpa’s 86th birthday. To celebrate, I’m going to go buy a new car and invest in the stock market. Two of his favorite things. Gramps, if you have access to Instagram (lol), know that I miss you every day.
  • Don’t mind me. Just having a bowment over here.
  • When @crisgw told me this flower crown portrait would be taken right around her 40th birthday (it’s today!) I got so happy. Back when my grandpa was alive, he told my brother @bobbyjocson_ , “You know how everyone talks about the good ole times? Well that is bullshit, right now, these are the good times. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you aren’t living in the good times.” I hope more us remember that (like Cris), exist in photos (as @suebrycephotographer says) and enjoy the good times right in front of us. And happy birthday, wonderful woman!
  • And it was on this day that I decided to stop feeling like I should be big-batch cooking on the weekends thanks to this cookbook — which is a gift from the heavens. And that, my friends, is self-care. An epsom salt bath was just the mechanism to receive it.
  • Since January 1st we’ve received over 81 inquiries at @thewonderjam, Adam and I moved into a new house, fought through some sickness, hosted many amazing guests and worked worked worked worked worked (sing that part like that Rihanna song). I haven’t taken a full-eyeball-to-chin-selfie since last summer and as I near my 32nd birthday I just wanted to prove that I CAN still take a selfie (I’m a millennial!!!!) and document that I’m more comfortable with not trying so hard. I enjoy fewer forced grins, laughing when no one else does because hello it’s funny, not as much makeup, speaking up even if my voice shakes. Also, shoutout to @ardorcoffeeco for keeping me caffeinated, @melodyatpenzone for my facials, @seed for that good bacteria, and @ottoskingoods for serums that actually work. Consider those my endorsements.
