Happy (almost) weekend. Summer is officially in full swing — and so is my social calendar. So in addition to spending a few hours getting my life in order (read: putting together my currently on-sale patio furniture), here’s what else I’ve got going on:
As a newly inducted soccer fan, I’m planning my weekend around the World Cup. Between watch parties in my cool soccer-inspired shorts, I’ll finish this doc on the US team before the knockout rounds start.
I’m headed to Florida in less than a week, so I’m in last-minute purchase mode. My list includes this personal fan, my favorite sunscreen mist, and this silky accessory — which has become my summer hair savior, especially after seeing this simple trick to keep it in place.
Since I finished Taiwan Travelogue, I’ve been on a mission to find Philly restaurants that serve the dishes mentioned. The novel follows a Japanese writer on a state-sponsored trip to Taiwan in the 1930s — a story of colonization through food, translation, and a complicated female friendship. It’s only June, but I already know this will be one of my top three reads of the year.
My friends and I have started playing cards at a local bar on Sundays. Our current obsession is gin rummy, and I’ve been eyeing this cute deck to upgrade our setup.
Lastly, I’ll tune in to the new episode of House of the Dragon. Fingers crossed it’s less traumatic than last week’s.
