Time always feels confusing to me after a holiday weekend – I spent a lot of time this week not really being sure what day it was! It has been super hot here this week – overwhelmingly sticky and humid – and I’m hoping that it’s a little more bearable this weekend so I can enjoy my outside time a little bit more. But of course… I have no other big weekend plans, as usual.

Last weekend my “big plans” involved watching Hamilton! I went all out – Hamilton shirt, tumbler, and Playbill from one of my in-person views. It was fun to make it into an “event,” since there isn’t that much to look forward to right now.

On to the favorites!

I can’t believe that I forgot to share this last week! I wrote a guest blog for Visit Pittsburgh about the things I’m most looking forward to doing when I can be out and about again. Not surprisingly, coffee features heavily.

Obviously, I’ve watched Hamilton on Disney+ multiple times now. This is a fun Q&A with the original cast (obviously, via Zoom). I am here for all the Hamilton content!

I’ve been using this moisturizer for a few months now, and I really like it. I was afraid it would be too heavy, but it’s almost a gel consistency. The best part is the container – usually, I stay away from jars because of germs and contamination, but this one has a push-down to dispense mechanism that’s genius.

I think a lot of people are struggling with their mental health right now. This is a great article of how to help when you’re not sure what to do or say.

You know how sometimes you feel like things are created specifically for you? This is one of those times for me. Two Pittsburgh Pirates players joined forces with the cast of Hadestown to do a cover of Wait For Me. It’s SO good!
