Happy Monday, I hope everyone is having a great day!

I have been struggling with thinking of post ideas over the past few weeks. I do plan to do a Nordstrom Sale picks post on the day of public access but other than that, I can’t think of any new, exciting content. Does anyone else get like this? If so, how do you get new ideas? I am definitely open to some suggestions!

Now onto a roundup of some wonderful things that I’ve stumbled upon this past week.

Stigma, Suicide & Our Stereotypes Around Mental Health.

7 Things I’ve Learned About Finding Myself.

Lately I’ve been listening to TEDtalks in podcast form, especially when I’m driving. They’re short & sweet, whereas I typically listen to longer series when I know I’ll be stuck in traffic. A recent podcast that I listened to and loved: Why teens confess to crimes they didn’t commit. It’s under fifteen minutes but super insightful.

The 8 Best Podcasts to Motivate Your Work Week.

I love Timber + Gray’s website, I could spend hours looking at it! It kind of reminds me of a Canadian version of Magnolia.

I love reading Making It In The Mountains. I could spend hours reading Kristi’s DIYs and I’m having daydreams of the things that I can make for my new home. 

DIY Gold Bolt Blanket Ladder.

These pink hydrangeas and white picket fence is the definition of my dream exterior.

Love this dress for an everyday look.

One thing that I couldn’t wait to share from the Nordstrom sale: this Madewell bucket bag! It’s rare that Madewell bags go on sale so this bag will go fast!

One other quick thing I wanted to share from the sale: this statement mirror! It’s so different but so fun. It’s on my wish list for when I move.

It isn’t part of the sale, but I do love this Kate Spade recipe box and it’s already on sale!

These low-carb chicken club wrap lettuce wrap sandwiches sound delicious.

These low-carb vanilla lavender cupcakes sound good, too.
