Right here’s this week’s Carriage Home YouTube in case you missed it!
From Caitlin: Earlier this week, I discovered myself glued to my couch whereas binge-watching all 6 episodes of Netflix’s new sequence, Hitmakers. It’s a fast, simple watch that follows a number of the world’s main songwriters by three totally different writing camps. I LOVED IT. I labored in a recording studio in a previous life and had by no means seen the artistic course of documented so precisely – it felt like I used to be again in a room, pitching concepts and phrases. It was a BLAST, and the present jogged my memory how enjoyable it was to faucet into that artistic, collaborative power! (PS. Right here’s the greatest hit that my workforce wrote – the demo was spun up throughout the 2012 World Cup. The unique refrain was truly simply the Olé chant again and again, but it surely was tweaked to a “actual refrain” when Avicii lower the monitor. Are you able to inform?!)
Additionally From Caitlin: This could be TMI (learn: it’s positively TMI) however post-pandemic, I usually put on a sports activities bra each day – I hate wires, am continually coping with spillage on the prime (why are my boobs formed so bizarre?!), and loads of the straps on the 36F choices make me really feel like I’m 90, not 33. So when one among my trusty sports activities bras bit the mud final month, I figured I’d check out this $34 bralette different. GUYS, IT’S MIRACULOUS. It seems toddler-sized – I actually laughed once I picked it up – but it surely by some means holds my ladies in AND up. (I imply, it’s not a push-up bra, however there’s a particular distinction. I acquired it within the XL!) I wouldn’t suggest any of Skims’ different bras -I have tried nearly all of them, none work for me personally – however I discover myself turning to this baby-sized bralette each day. It’s been by a number of laundromat washer/dryer cycles with no points, and it’s infinitely extra wearable than my sports activities bra options. If this suggestion will help one different wire-hating, cozy bra-loving gal, I will probably be thrilled!!!
From Jess: Whereas at my dad’s this previous weekend, he was very excited to point out me his new wax fireplace pit. It’s an eco-friendly different that doesn’t make any mess and is cute! You don’t want any wooden as a result of it’s powered by 100% biodegradable vegetable wax. He loves it as a result of it’s good for his small patio, will get 8 hours price of burn time, and once more, he doesn’t have to scrub up after it. It may additionally act as a stool once you’re not utilizing it. An ideal strategy to keep exterior so long as doable:) Right here’s a hyperlink to the refills the place there’s a citronella choice too. See ya bugs!
From Mallory: My favourite sports activities bra is definitely this one from Lululemon (been carrying it on repeat for over a yr now), and I couldn’t adore it extra. I’ve it in white, after which I additionally snagged it in a mauve and (acquired the matching shorts) and so they’re SO cute – put on it on a regular basis!! I usually dimension up in Lulu sports activities bras (I acquired a 6) fyi:)
From Arlyn: As soon as my knees began sounding like a bag of popcorn within the microwave, I regarded into introducing some collagen into my life. I attempted Very important Proteins and appreciated it sufficient however to be sincere, I’m not even certain what “liking” a collagen powder is meant to appear like. However I’ve been utilizing Bubs Collagen Peptides for six months since I discovered it by a Fb advert and it’s nice! Sure, my knees nonetheless crackle like Rice Krispies in milk, however they don’t actually damage anymore in order that’s a plus, yeah? Principally, I’m glad to squeeze in 18 grams of additional protein in my morning espresso (it’s warmth tolerant), which is a big win for me typically!
From Marlee: That is one among my fave heavyweight sweatshirts ever – I’ve had the identical one for five years at this level and I’m nonetheless loving it. It’s tremendous plush and the proper outsized – I’d say it’s fairly true to dimension and has a brilliant large hood that’s so good for lounging round in (I hate when sweatshirt hoods are small/tight, however when you don’t prefer it outsized, this may not be for you). It’s positively well worth the worth IMO, contemplating I’ve worn mine almost each week for the previous 5 years. Price per put on has acquired to be pennies at this level! This one is extra of a slouchy, straight down the torso match, however if you need it a bit extra fitted/tapered on the waist, this one can also be an amazing alternative:) I simply have black, however they each are available tremendous cute colours.
From Gretchen: I picked up this tremendous cute, tiered swing costume from Outdated Navy the opposite day, and I actually prefer it! It’s not something too groundbreaking. It’s a light-weight material and really breezy, and the reddish brown plaid simply seems like me. The sleeves hold properly, and I like that you may put on them on or off the shoulder. However principally, I simply recognize that it’s as simple to throw on as a t-shirt–stretchy, no zippers, loads of flowy material. I wore it the opposite day with a cropped hoodie over prime and was stunned at simply how cute it regarded collectively, however I’ve additionally loved carrying it with no layers and only a cute pair of sandals. Inexpensive, lovable, and simple!
This final week, we noticed the devastating information that photographer Bethany (Nauert) Mendez’s husband unexpectedly handed away. She’s a photographer EHD has labored with and liked. We’ve got little doubt everybody studying this has seen her unimaginable work. As I’m certain a lot of you understand, prices add up so quick after a loss so if you’ll be able to donate to Bethany, here’s a GoFundMe that was set as much as assist her.
