Let’s talk about what’s hot this week.

Did you see Substack featured in Vogue? Yes, writing is in style now!! From Vogue:

To escape the algorithm, fashion enthusiasts are turning to Substack. The platform provides a safe haven for trusted recommendations, increasingly elusive on Google and social media apps.

Yes, I read everything. I’m often asked if I am always on my phone. The truth is, I use it far more than I'd like. It’s part of my job, and separating from it is challenging. But here’s a confession: saunas are my sanctuary, a phone-free zone I crave. I dream of having one at home. Manifestation time! I aim for at least two or three sauna sessions weekly, each lasting a minimum of 20 minutes. At the risk of sounding like Huberman (who isn’t too popular right now), I’ve delved into the research on sauna benefits and have come to cherish these moments as a daily respite.

What else is hot?

Today, I’ll share a tip on creating graphics for your Substack easily. But first, does anyone want to see what I packed for my trip? Just my mom? Okay, cool. I’ll link those for her here… (thanks, Mom!)

What I Packed for Our Spring Break Trip to Mexico

My Lumebox. Can’t leave home without it! It even helped my friend with her bug bites! (this is Dr Organic Mommy’s Affiliate link and it gives you a big discount plus all the commission goes to charity!)

The two-piece outfit I lived in last summer - I have in black and tan. From my amazon shop.

A new two-piece from Amazon.

Similar Natalie Martin Dress which has latest forever

These are the two pairs of Amazon sunglasses both on my Amazon Shop (linked below:)

ROUND ONES: $12 buy a coupl! SQUARE ONES: $13!! They are so good

My Watskin hat - I have the white one and it kept my face out of the sun!

Away suitcase.

A bathing suit in blue, red, and black - I’ve had these for years and they really last!

What I Packed for Our Spring Break in Nashville:

My favorite white and denim button-downs from Frank and Eileen.

A cute cardigan I got last year that’s still going strong, despite its $50 price tag.

An old favorite jacket from Zara (linking to something similar here).

Now, let’s talk about hot new tips and tricks after the break.
