Think Spring

Singleness & Taking Time to Be a Kid Again

MOOD 🫖

---

Hello!

Did we all have a lovely Valentine’s Day?! I sure hope so. I frankly did not do anything out of the norm, but that’s okay. I can show extra love to myself this week. If you had an extra special Vday, please do comment, I personally would love to hear (I don’t get out much, what are ya’ll up to out there?).

However, I will say, I started waitressing this past week (I’ve never waitressed in my entire life), and it has encouraged me to start doing things I’ve never done before (even and especially if I feel embarrassed.) Every time I think I am doing something embarrassing or cringe I just imagine someone being a hater and replying with ‘who cares?’ because literally who cares. After I try/do something new, I feel so good, I genuinely feel like I can feel myself growing and I think that is underrated.

I’ve posted a few house renovation TikToks here if you are interested in house renovation content. In other news, this newsletter contains a little glimmer of spring, as I went to Target today and spring items are already on shelf! I am so ready.

SINGLE OR NOT

This week I found Alex Hormozi’s video ‘If I Were Single and Starting Over, This Is What I Would Do’ on Youtube, and it really resonated with me. He makes a lot of points regarding relationships/picking a partner that I don’t think many people consider nor hear enough inn today’s world. I listened to it while working on Valentine’s day lol, and I feel it’s a good listen for both people who are single and in relationships. (I’ve featured Alex Hormozi/his insight on here before, he’s a call it like he sees it kinda guy!)

Please let me know what kind of content on here you hate and what sort of stuff you love! Always open to ideas/suggestions.

HOUSE MOODBOARDS

This week I met with a spray foamer, an electrician, an architect family friend, and a man who might be able to source the wooden beams. AKA I am getting the ball rolling on all of the crazy big items on my house checklist (overwhelming! spendy!). It made me realize I need to start making a bit more sound decisions to keep moving, so I am moodboarding each of my rooms so I have a super specific vision. Here is the living room/kitchen W.I.P. 🚧

Open concept living/kitchen area moodboard

I also thought of planning a house warming party when I move in this summer/fall, so I now am super excited about that in the distant future! Maybe I will post all of these mini room moodboards once I have them in a good place :).

TIME TO BE A KID

This week I found this fortune in my cookie:

It felt like a very appropriate reminder to myself, and reminded me how much I would kill to have my Easy Bake Oven back, so here’s a list of ways to take care of your inner child:

• Buy/use stickers all over planner pages

• Print out and color coloring pages (I do this with my bestie Qiu! See Below)

• If you live somewhere warm, break out that sidewalk chalk

• Go to Barnes and Noble and look through children’s books (I don’t know if it’s because I love art and illustration, but this is my therapyyy)

• Have a sleepover with your bestie

• Look at your baby photos :)

• Make cute snacks little you would appreciate

• Plant a seed

• Any dessert with sprinkles

• Visit the zoo ( I love grabbing a soft pretzel and wandering the zoo, 10/10)

What nurturing my inner child looks like to me:

I had to take a picture of this little girl I saw at the zoo last summer… eating Dippin’ Dots, velcro monkey strapped around her neck, she is little me! 🥹

DOWN THE HATCH

I am 1000% obsessed with Clio Greek Yogurt Bars. I’ve downed TWO boxes in the last week. But I just bought bulk at Sam’s club lol.

I also thought it would be fun to share your favorite coffee/drink order at the moment in the chat feature here. Comment what you’re sipping on lately.
