Flavor Buffet: 5/27/2022

Hello! Happy Friday. It has been quite a week. While I know it’s not OK to simply brush off the big things to focus on the fluff (if you’re able to take action and/or donate please do), I’m still providing the Buffet this week in case you need some light, breezy reading for the long weekend.

Everyone processes tragic events differently (regardless of how close-to-home they happen). That is totally normal and entirely acceptable. If I’ve learned anything from what has happened, it’s that my mindset to find joy in the everyday, and appreciate the little, seemingly “insignificant” moments, has never been more important. Those moments are not insignificant at all.

Now, let’s turn to the Buffet.

REad / review / make / shop

Enjoyed the This is Us series finale, but I enjoyed the recap even more. I love a “regular” Saturday. :)

Sandals; minus the blisters? Too good to be true. Right this way

I still need to buy (and read) the Anna Wintour biography, but this piece about her pricey lunch was excellent gossip to get through the week.

I love a good routine or ritual. These comments are joyful.

Should I make a pound cake this weekend?

Is it too early to call this the Summer of the Paloma Spritz?

As soon as it’s time for local corn (not yet), I’m making this Avocado Corn Salad on repeat.

Dermstore is having their summer sale this weekend which is an excellent time to stock up on skincare-ritual favorites…

Dudley Stephens has an excellent 40% off sale for MDW and there are a lot of great pieces included.

One of my favorite LA brands, The GREAT, just announced a summer sale and it’s a great one. Get it? ;)

Debating this Lakeside Tee from Alex Mill.

Comfy linen-blend shorts for the summer days ahead (AKA this weekend). On sale!

Yara Shahidi is a wonderful activist and actor (and freshly-minted Harvard graduate!) and I’m so glad to know that she and I both appreciate a fabulously chic notebook.

I hope you have a good weekend. Take the time to relax, unwind, and breathe.
