Let’s see what brought the sparkle this week!

Saturday was a pretty rough anxiety day, but I pieced together a solid plan to cope: I went to a gentle yoga class in the morning and had one of my friends come keep me company (and watch Dawson’s Creek!) at night. Bonus that some random music channel was running Queen content all day, including Hungarian Rhapsody, so that helped too!

Sandwiched in between yoga and Queen on Saturday afternoon was a quick stop at TJ Maxx, where I picked up the coziest sweater (coming up in a post on Monday!) and few cute notebooks!

On Sunday, Pops came home from a trip to Cali! I literally greeted him at the door playing the theme song to Welcome Back, Kotter, haha! We went out to dinner for his homecoming, which included this delish dessert!

On Tuesday, I decided to go ice skating for the first time in months! Every time, I forget how much I miss it until I’m back out there again. I’m so glad that Timmi brought one of my favorite childhood activities back into my life!

I’ve been dealing with some hip issues + some (seemingly inner child-related) anxiety for the past few days, so I hit the ice today! I haven’t skated since I was in Chicago in April (😭), but I’m always amazed at how my body just remembers what to do. The body can remember and store trauma, of course, but also the fun things that you forgot you were even capable of. It’s an incredible thing.💕💕 . . #innerchildhealing #innerchild #healing #iceskating #skating #anxiety #depression

Did you ever have a song that you just wake up singing every day? “Can We Still Be Friends?” by Todd Rundgren has been that song for me for literally months. (What does this say about me, I wonder…) This week, I stumbled upon this gorgeous piano cover, and I cannot get enough:
