ordering: some new lotions & potions (as I have dubbed them) for my skin. Now that I'm solidly in the mid-30s, I guess I should be doing something about potential future wrinkles? I do really love this new line from Beautycounter (and not just for the pink packaging) and can tell that it makes my skin softer and smoother and happier.
watching: Queer Eye season 4 (who isn't?) - but slowly, because I get sad when I run out of episodes. Luckily I've also discovered the entertaining Dressing Funny on YouTube, where Tan France does little wardrobe sessions with comedians, for when I need another Queer Eye fix.
cooking: quite quickly, thanks to my new Instant Pot. I love it for doing up chicken breasts to be used in all manner of recipes, and next I'm planning to try its speediness on quinoa so I can make this super yummy Thai peanut & quinoa salad my mom introduced me to.
wondering: if anyone has must-do ideas for where I should eat lunch or ride a bike/walk around in Boston. I have a short work trip coming up with just enough free time to explore one or two restaurants on my own, and maybe a bit of sightseeing...
savoring: the last 20 days of summer break. While I do love getting back to a good routine (and having the house to myself!), this year with Hendrik going of to 1st grade (!) we have an earlier start to the school year, and our first year of 5 full days per week (last year it was 3 full, 2 half) - so I'm feeling like summer freedom is even more fleeting than usual. Best way to savor it is to spend it at the beach, of course, but we've also made a trip to Chicago to see Cats, are planning some family bike rides, and hopefully some kind of special last-hurrah outing.
That's what I'm currently up to as we head into the back-to-school season (besides tracking down new school shoes and backpacks and that sort of thing!). Hope you'll join in below and share what's currently going on with you.
Then come on back for the next one, on September 4: making, taking, discovering, consuming, saving.
