Workouts
- My plates are here to complement my barbell, and I couldn’t be happier… driveway workouts for the win! But now I might be getting addicted and need so many more things!!
- Mark your calendar for next Saturday’s Yoga in the Park with Shelby!
To Do / Entertainment
- Saturday is National Public Lands Day! Find out how to volunteer here; admission to National Parks is also free.
- I thought this idea of ACL in a Box was so cute, but then I saw the price tag: $125?! Nah. However, an ACL bodysuit? Yes.
- I like this article on alternatives to talk therapy—I think they could complement as well as replace.
Daydream Thursday
- 2 fully-refundable Travelzoo deals that were just sitting in my open tabs waiting to be booked but are now sold out: Thailand for $385 FOR TWO ($650 package still available) and THE MOTHER-EFFIN MALDIVES IN A ROOM ABOVE THE WATER for $2K for TWO. I’m pretty sure you usually either have to go on The Bachelor or get married to an oligarch in order to get to go to the super-expensive and exclusive Maldives, which are so literally in the middle of nowhere that flights costs $1K even during a global pandemic. I think I need to start actually booking these trips instead of just daydreaming.
Shop, shop, shoppin’ away
- I am a huge fan of my Capital One SavorOne credit card (3% on dining, entertainment, and travel RIP), and their introduction of the Eno (their AI assistant who also—actually—helpfully emails you when things look funky) browser extension that provides virtual numbers when shopping is fantastic—and works seamlessly.
- I reordered Wondercide, the dirty-hippie mosquito spray from an Austin-based company. I don’t know exactly what makes their essential oil combo so effective versus others, but I swear it works—so do labs, but do labs live in the mosquito-infested humid soup that is Austin? I’ve already gone through all 4 mini trial bottles (just $5 if you wanna try!), and just ordered two full-size bottles, in Cedarwood and Lemongrass; Peppermint was too tingly on my skin, and I like to keep my Lavender products for bedtime.
