Oh hello my fellow a/c-less driver! We've been in the triple digits this summer in Richmond, but I finally broke down and got my a/c fixed like a week ago. I'd gotten kind of used to the windows down lifestyle of my ancestors haha. Your film photos are beautiful. I would love to hear more about how you got into that and how you learned to shoot on film! Also loving your jelly shoes rec and you may have finally sold me on reading All Fours. Thank you for linking my Postcrossing post! My little heart is so happy! I hope your birthday weekend is absolutely magical! 💖
Triple digits, ohhhhh baby! Glad to hear you treated yourself to some a/c.
Ahha, you have been warned about All Fours. I feel like all of us at BMWG should read it and have a little chat on it, I know Petya would be into it.
I've always loved film photos, I got our wedding photos shot on film because I like the nostalgia and emotion of it. I don't know a lot about it, I just try and learn as I go - see what works and have fun with it.
Such summer vibes with this edition! Loved the poem. And thanks for the book recs, I'm on the hunt for a good summer read, adding All Fours to my list.
Those ice creams and tomatoes look so lush! I remember as a kid going to the beach on the daily with a huge Tupperware of sliced tomatoes with lime, salt and pep and olive oil. I could eat that forever.
And of course a biiiig happy birthday to the sweetest and certainly most creative person I know 🫶🏼 sending a virtual squeeze and wishing you abundant happiness always. Hope you have the best time celebrating on Salt Spring!!!
Your newsletter are always such a treat! Have fun at Salt Spring Island, I love it there! I went for the first time over the May long weekend this year. We stayed in a tiny house in the woods. If you haven't already, I recommend going to Tree House Cafe. It literally has a tree growing in the middle of it! And they have live music too, such good vibes.
Aww thank you Naomi! That tiny house sounds so cute, I'll have to check something like that out when booking next time. I will put the Tree House Cafe on my list to visit, always love your recommendations! 🩷
I was enjoying your post but had to stop when you mentioned KH. Will turn off a lot of people unnecessarily and cause some to question your judgement. Political commentary doesn’t belong in your very positive post.
Thank you for reading and I appreciate your comment, Patrick. I'm comfortable knowing that my writing isn't for everyone. I'm here to share vulnerably and honestly, not to collect numbers. 🩷
First time getting one of your emails -- if they're all like this, so happy to have found your substack! Love love love.
She always knocks it out of the park!
I second this!
That is very kind, thank you Alexandra! So happy to have you here, xx
Happy birthday to a fellow Leo!!! Mine is the 16th and like you, I understand the assignment 😉
Same! I’m August 21! This is perfect @lauren!
Ahhh, I love all the Leo energy! Thanks Katie 🌼

Future writing group ice breaker??

Don’t think that just bc you couldn’t come you don’t have to answer this months. I must know your childhood celebrity crush.
Next time 😉

Awww yum, that’s such a sweet memory. Thank you Camila! 🩷
Loved this beautiful little romp. I went down a deep dive on those jellies. The reviews for those shoes are just too precious.
Awww fun! So nostalgic. Thanks Kaitlyn.
Such a fun post!
And YES the tomatoes this year. Can not get enough. 🙌 🍅

Your mood board summer upgrade is stunning! Enjoy your birthday and summer vacation. I’m a Leo rising, so into Leo season I am!
Ahhh, Leo rising, I love it! 🦁 Thanks so much Kristen
Soak a cotton bandanna in ice water, wring it out, then loosely tie/drape it around your neck. Pairs excellently with fans!
Love the sounds of this, thank you!
