What I have been listening to...

THE LONG GOODBYE

This is the best concept album I have heard since Lemonade. From beginning to end, The Long Goodbye is music perfection. Riz Ahmed takes his feelings about Brexit and puts it in the context of a breakup. Being crushed by your Queen, kicked out of your home and having to come to terms with being a stranger to yourself, you feel his heartbreak. 

What I have reading... 

WUTHERING HEIGHTS

I LOVE old books. Heathcliff and Catherine lived when you couldn’t say how you felt or openly love who you loved and that can lead to heartbreak and anger. Wuthering Heights is FULL of both and my heart broke for the couple that loved each other so deeply it drove them to do some truly cruel things. 

What I have watching... 

HOLLYWOOD

By far the best show of 2020, Ryan Murphy builds this world for anyone who has been pushed out of the spotlight; Women, POC and the Queer & LGBT community. I don’t want to ruin anything if you haven’t seen this, but you will cry with joy at seeing the world through Ryan’s eyes. I want to live in his world!

COTTAGE

Who else is thankful for this gorgeous weather? The beau and I have been soaking up cottage time to get a break from being at the apartment. With not much else to do, it has been our sanctuary. There is always lots of work to get done to open it; painting, flowers, chopping wood, but we are taking time for BBQ and bonfires too!

BUCKET HATS

I am in love with the new addition to the accoutrement section. These hats are all made from thrifted jeans or their scraps, so you get a fashionable accessory for summer, support less waste and sun protection, the three things we could all use more of! You can choose from the solid, two tone or patchwork bucket hat.
