Weekly Round-Up #1
A friend pointed out to me the other day that I receive an obnoxious number of emails per day. She asked me why I didn’t just unsubscribe to a bunch of them and the answer is that I love newsletters and reading through newsletters. Sometimes I find cool things that I put on my wish list, sometimes I find cool articles or podcasts or something to look into, and honestly, these days it is just nice to have something new to look at! So instead of all of those fun things just piling up in my saved bookmarks, I am going to share some with you every week as well as some of the other things I’m getting up to in the weekly round-up.
Art: Renaissance Reframed
My friend Claire had the fabulous idea of starting an art history blog since we both now have our master’s. We are really excited about the project and it will be nice to be able to exercise my art historical muscles in a more casual way! Check it out here.
Podcast: Atlanta Monster
Y’all know how much I love podcasts, but I am a little late to the true crime podcast party. I just finished watching Mind Hunter Season 2 (which I highly recommend) but they spent a good part of the season talking about a serial killer in Atlanta. This podcast is about that serial killer and I can’t wait to binge it!
TV: Watchmen
Ok let’s just call the theme of this weekly round-up “Taylor being late to the party.” I had not seen Watchmen on HBO and I just watched it this week and was intrigued. I have no idea if they are going to make a second season or even what they would do in a second season but it definitely caught my attention.
Movie: Wreck it Ralph
I finally got around to watching Wreck it Ralph the other night and I absolutely loved it! It was too cute and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Although do bring some candy because you will definitely want some by the end.
Jewelry: Rocksbox
I put my Rocksbox subscription on hold while I was in NC and I just started it back up. Already I have gotten some fabulous jewelry like the rings and delicate necklaces I was wearing the other day. I really can’t recommend them enough!
Relaxation: Lush Mask of Magnamity
Last night I treated myself with some wine and a nice bath. I put on this face mask before I got in the bath and I am not joking when I say my skin has never felt softer or more hydrated. I have super sensitive skin too and have no issues! Am I obsessed with Lush? Maybe but I don’t mind!
Book: White Fragility
One of my many side projects is running a book club at the magazine where I am an editorial assistant. This month, we decided it was really important to read about race so we chose two different books to read. The first one is White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo. I’ve only just started it but I can tell it every white person should read these so you know where your privilege is and you can check it.
Clothes: Pink Dress
On another note, I saw this pink dress from H & M the other day and I am obsessed. I probably wouldn’t wear it as much right now, but I think it would be so cute with industrial/motorcycle boots and a leather or jean jacket in the fall!
Well that’s all of this week. Comment with your current obsessions below!
XO, Tay
