Dragging myself to my post-Thanksgiving workout like… "why did I do this to myself?" 😭🔥
Should’ve cancelled but that late fee is basically two lattes and sorry… I cannot throw away coffee money like that.

Hope your day is full of good food, comfy clothes, chaotic family stories, and at least one plate you’re low-key embarrassed to admit you finished.

Not saying coffee is my personality today… but if Better Buzz Coffee wants to sponsor my entire existence, I wouldn’t fight it. ☕

Welp… the weekend said ‘bye’ and the grind said ‘hello.’ 😭 BUT good news, Friends. It’s a short week! Thanksgiving is incoming, which means… yes… stepping up the workouts a little more. Let’s get it done, Friends. 🦃💪🔥

Somehow ended up on the side of TikTok where brides walk down the aisle to ‘Best Day of My Life’ by Robert Palmer from A Cinderella Story, the grooms instantly start crying 😭 Not sure how I got here, but I’m staying. My generation’s wedding era is in full swing & I’m here for it.

This album just popped up on TIDAL and instantly took me back. Total quarantine nostalgia. Me, my headphones, and endless walks around the neighborhood in my own little world. 🎧💭 tidal.com/album/190536...

Currently testing out TIDAL and low-key torn. Missing a few Spotify artists, but finding new faves that don’t exist over there. Music streaming in 2025 really said ‘exclusive content’ like it’s a side quest. 🎶
