A month at home in Raleigh, and a little list of what I’ve been wearing, listening to, watching, and baking. Plus a toddler who refuses to take off a lemon dress.
Lately, November
I didn’t travel anywhere this month, and I have to say it has been really nice. Grounding. Fall is one of my favorite times to be in Raleigh, the leaves are doing their thing, and I’ve been home long enough to actually watch it happen. So here’s a little list of what I’ve been into lately.
Wearing
Our new Dose mock neck sweatshirt. I put it on before class, I put it back on after class, and around 5pm it walks two doors down with me to my in-laws’ for a mango martini. It has range.
Listening to
Late to the Fire by Sam Burchfield has been on repeat. It’s not a class song, it’s a driving around and making dinner song.
For a podcast, the Sofia Franklyn episode of Aspire with Emma Grede. She tells her side of the Call Her Daddy story and I could not turn it off.
And if I were teaching tomorrow, the first song on the playlist would be Hold On by East Forest. Always a goodie to open a class with.
Watching
I'm about to start the new season of Nobody Wants This and I can't wait. I just finished American Hostage with Jon Hamm.. a great show while I swoon over my hallpass ;)
Sipping
Brian got me my very own espresso machine for our anniversary. I think it may have been a gentle attempt to break my daily coffee spend lol, and it’s working. My new morning ritual is making my own coffee and taking it out to the back porch to watch the backyard change colors.
Baking
GoNanas muffins. They’re gluten free, everyone in the house loves them, and they make the whole place smell so good. I am obsessed.
What Quinn is into
A lemon dress from Amazon that we thought she might wear once. She wears it every day and to bed. I’m not joking. We had to buy a second one so we’d have time to wash the first.
She is also very into playing mommy and baby right now. She is the mommy. I am the baby. I’m not allowed to call her Quinnie, I have to call her Mommy, and she gets upset if I slip. It’s kind of hilarious and also a little humbling visualizing myself crawling all over the house.
A ritual I’m loving
Teaching the 12pm on Tuesdays at our Durham studio, and getting there early enough to do sauna and cold plunge before class.
Looking forward to
Decorating for the holidays, and the busiest season of the year for hot yoga (there is nothing like a full, sweaty room when it’s cold outside). There’s also a special launch happening at Dose that I can’t wait to share!
