Well, it looks like the rain is returning tomorrow and is sticking around for a while. Tbh, I’m okay with that. I’m a sunshine girl, but I don’t have AC and my bedroom has been HOT the past week, so I’m ready for some sweet relief. Plus, the plants are in desperate need of a good watering. Dare I say… I’m ready for fall?? (Don’t repeat that!)

Today’s giveaway is a realllyyyy good one because y’all deserve it after such a wack week!

Not to be dramatic, but hearing “Killing Me Softly” live might actually fix something in all of us. Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean reunite to celebrate 30 years of The Score at Climate Pledge Arena on 11/10. Enter to win tickets!!*
