My wonderful week-long vacation is over. It felt like an eternity, but even that had to end. The snow in the mountains already feel like a distant memory, and the workweek is way too close.
At least the spring flowers are keeping me happy.

Is it time to start getting ready for summer?
I took two photos of the sunset sky today and couldn't choose one.
A friend said that if you put cash under the light of a growing crescent moon and put it in your wallet with others, it's to attract wealth. I'm wondering how to apply this to my crypto wallets 🤔

I found the perfect crepes recipe!
If the crepes keep tearing or burning, yell at your family that nothing is working because they keep distracting you (whether it’s true or not). No need to change anything in the batter - after that, the crepes turn out perfect! And your family will forgive you anyway when it’s time to eat 😌

I got a hyacinth bulb - basically a Kinder Surprise for adults! I was so excited to see what color it would be, and it turned out this gorgeous lilac-purple.
I wish I could share the scent! Every time I walk in, I know it’s bloomed even more just by the way it smells.

I mixed up the dates and thought I joined Farcaster on February 27. I had planned a little anniversary post about how happy I am to have met all the people I talk to here - but turns out, it was actually February 21.
Well, better late than never! Thank you all, friends - even on the days when I’m offline, something always reminds me of you 🫶

This song has been on repeat for me all week, and despite the lyrics, it gives me good vibes and lifts my mood. I realized it when I kept skipping songs before starting something until I found it.

No matter how much I love my cozy office, I love leaving it on Friday until Monday even more!
I learned today that you can discover your aesthetic on Pinterest by checking the first images under the searches "celebrity/cake/quote/aesthetic."
I was curious to see what I’d get since I only search there for furniture and interiors - but somehow, the results actually resonated!

The first consequences of moving - today, I was looking for a gift for my friend and the gift wrap I bought a month ago. The gift was found after an hour later, but the wrap seems to be lost forever in one of the moving boxes.
I thought I had everything ready and left the wrapping for the last moment. Had to improvise…

Absent for a valid reason - laminate flooring 2.0 in a new room.
Just 1-2 more days, and hopefully, it’ll be done. Too sad there aren’t any points or level-ups for this, like in Farcaster games.
Does anyone know a channel to post this in?

Baking cinnamon rolls for the first time and have no idea how they’ll turn out, so I took a picture before putting them in the oven.
Now I’m waiting for someone to ask how my Sunday’s going so I can casually reply, “Oooh, nothing special… just made some cinnamon rolls” 💁♀️

I love the photo search algo on the iPhone - I type ‘night’, and it suggests, for example, this good boy in the left pic, chilling in front of a souvenir shop in Dahab on a warm October night.
And there’s a cat in the right one.
Nighty night!

A follow-up to my cast about how I started tracking my sleep:
🐑 I started adjusting my wake-up time.
In the first week, I’d wake up earlier out of habit, check my sleep score, and decide to stay in bed for another hour or so. It made a noticeable difference!
🐑 Eight hours of sleep means fewer coffee and sugar cravings.
On those mornings, I was happy to make a simple filter coffee at home and head to work with no urge for an extra cup later.
🐑 Five hours of sleep means reckless spending.
On the days I only got 5 hours of sleep, I spent the most money on coffee, eating out, and random little things to boost my mood. Even if I had breakfast at home, I still wanted coffee to go. With 8 hours, that craving disappeared.
🐑 I suspect I’ve been running on a chronic 1-hour sleep deficit during the workweek, leading to the need for a Friday “reward.”
Still experimenting, but so far, getting 8+ hours of sleep (9+ hours in bed) feels like the ultimate life hack for me.

For the past 13 days, I’ve been tracking my sleep with a smart ring, and I can share some early insights and patterns I’ve noticed. I’ve mostly slept 7-8 hours, with a couple of nights at just 5 hours. Here’s what I’ve learned:
🐑 Time in bed isn’t the same as sleep time.
My actual sleep is always about an hour less than the time I spend in bed. Even if I fall asleep quickly and wake up once, I still lose an hour. To get 8 hours of sleep, I need to be in bed for 9. I never considered this before.
🐑 The difference between my 7 and 8 hours of sleep is HUGE. Seriously, huge.
That last hours seems to be when I get the full amount of REM sleep I need. I never thought one extra hour could be the difference between waking up just groggy vs waking up naturally, feeling ready to live. And since most people probably don’t account for the extra hour in bed, many might be unknowingly sleep-deprived.
My text got so long that I’ll continue in another cast

I’ve been eyeing this cookbook in the store for a couple of years now, always drawn to its design. Honestly, I’d love to have it as a decorative piece in my kitchen, but the concept itself also resonates with me:
S - short on time
I - ingredients (10 or fewer)
M - make ahead
P - pantry
L - lazy
E - easy
It seems to check all the boxes for me, and I’ve heard it even won some kind of ‘cookbook of the year’ award. But the price is pretty steep (though the edition looks stunning), so I’m wondering if I really need it.
Has anyone tried it? 🍋

I get a lot of joy out of spending money, especially on meaningful purchases, even if they’re not mine.
Basically, I’m the person who’ll talk you into buying something you want but keep hesitating over.
Some recent things I’ve convinced people to get:
- a coat
- a snowboard
- a bicycle
- a full style makeover
- concert tickets for their favorite band in another country
- training course for new hobby
- a vintage bag
I consider myself a fairly mindful consumer. That’s why I only encourage purchases when I see that someone genuinely wants something. And when they finally get it, I feel just as happy as they do, like their wish has been granted. I never push unless I truly believe the purchase or experience is worth it.
Call it spending enthusiasm or maybe a little financial vampirism. So if you have the money but just need a little push to spend it on something, hit me up 😁

My weather today is still something raw and unembellished February, but with glimpses of spring sun

I spent three weeks trying to find the perfect baseboard to match my laminate. I even brought home a bunch of color samples, but they all looked completely different once I put them in place.
Today, I went to a new store and, on the first try, found the exact shade that nice . As I walked to the checkout, feeling victorious, a thought hit me: why not just go with white to match my white walls? It would make the ceiling look higher!
So, of course, I had to grab two more samples and go home to rethink everything. And sure enough, once I saw them in my space, I knew that I definitely wanted white baseboards. The ones that had been available in every shape and size at every hardware store this whole time.
Being a woman with a never-ending stream of thoughts is truly an adventure!

My colleagues have been feeding a little bird, and now it’s no longer afraid of people - it doesn’t even fly away. It even looks defiant now if you come empty-handed.
“Now you come to me hoping to take a photo. But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer breadcrumbs. You don't even even think to bring me some seeds. Instead, you just come to my bush and pull out your phone.”

Workout #6 of the week just done ✅
Looking back on the week, I’m more than happy with how it went:
2 strength sessions
2 pilates
2 shot neurological relaxation workouts
Seems like the same rule applies here as everywhere else:
1) just do something, even if it’s not perfect.
2) choose your downfall for the day and decide which task to sacrifice from your to-do list to make time for another one.
I’m still looking for a way to avoid the second rule. If you’ve found a solution, let me know!

I was inspired by how consistent @camilags is with workouts, so for the first time in a long while, I got a one-month online training subscription. I used to work out regularly, but that was quite a while ago, so I’m challenging myself to do 3 workouts (or 2..) a week, mixing strength training and pilates.
Had my first session today, and I’m so exhausted I’m heading to bed by 9:30 😅

Never have I felt more disconnected from nature than when buying decorative branches for my home at a hardware store
I started renovating another room, and honestly, I feel way too exhausted to be an active caster now. In the early stages, it always feels like the renovation will never end, but this time we have to move fast - the dining table and couch are disassembled and crammed into the bedroom. So at the moment, the only livable space in the apartment is the bed… just for sleeping.
I’m using this as an excuse to eat out, telling myself I just need to sit somewhere once a day without dust and paint 😅

Tonight, I had dinner at my favorite tiny cafe the kind where you squeeze into a little corner to eat while a line of people waiting for their coffee forms behind you. And I found myself wondering why these Millenial and Gen Z traps are so popular.
A tiny but aesthetic space, simple yet beautiful tableware, small portions but consistently good food, and the presentation is always a solid 10/10. I left knowing I wasn’t actually full and would be ordering pizza in half an hour. But also knowing I’d come back anyway - because the vibe is worth it.
Because after this exhausting work week, it was the first place that came to mind when I thought about where I wanted to be.

Saw this little beauty just sitting there, waiting for me. Walked away to avoid a spontaneous purchase - but let’s be real, I’ll probably go back for it.
And also, I’m browsing vintage tableware and adding Meißen tea sets to my wishlist…
Guess my youth is officially gone…
