On My Radar

This week. Thiiiiiiis week. I think I’m running on emotional fumes at the moment. It was PEAK peaks (like seriously got some of my best news of 2020) and LOW lows. I feel so drained. I think everything mixed with the darkness settling in by 4:30pm has me struggling. I’m trying to come up with one non-work thing to look forward to every single night. Even if it’s just one hour of needlepointing and a Netflix show or baking something fun after dinner. It’s not curing the drain, but it does make getting through the days a little easier!

And lots of stovetop popcorn!

On My Radar 11.13

Here’s what has been on my radar this week:

ONE // A Conversation on Friendship

A few weeks ago, I recorded a podcast with Dr. Kim Swales! We have been internet friends for a very long time and I’m just so proud of her for starting a podcast. I was honored that she asked me to be a guest. Her podcast tackles all kinds of relationships and we decided to talk about friendship (though we ended up talking about a lot more too!).ย 

TWO // Perfect Roasted Carrots

Carrots are my favorite vegetablesโ€“ I’ll eat them any way, but roasted is my number one preference. I’m usually pretty lazy in my approach, keeping it simple with just a smidge of olive oil and salt. But one of my favorite food bloggers just shared this “perfect” recipe and I cannot wait to test it out!!

THREE // Polka Dot Tartan Shirt

I’m more than all set on the tartan shirt front, but….. I have to share this POLKA DOT one! I don’t know how I missed it from J. Crew originally. It is darling and so festive. I think it’d be so cute with black jeans for a comfy look or with a fancy black skirt for something a little more dressed up.

FOUR //ย Charcuterie Chalet

I dieeeeeed seeing this on my Facebook feed this week. Who needs gingerbread houses when you can make a charcuterie chalet?!?! Kind of disgusting, kind of amazing ๐Ÿคฃ

FIVE // Marta Gonzรกlez Remembers Swan Lake

Marta Gonzรกlez, a former prima ballerina, has Alzheimers but upon hearing the music fromย Swan Lake, the choreography all comes back to her. I was quite moved watching herโ€“ absolutely graceful. It brought a tear to my eye.

Listened to the podcast episode on my quarantine walk yesterday and I really enjoyed listening to you two!

The Charcuterie Chalet is a great idea. It seems easier than a regular gingerbread house too.
