Lovin' Lately no. 1
The pajama equivalent of finding $20 in your coat pocket, a confession of a movie I have never seen, and a Summer treat that's so easy to make
Hi! Danielle Wraith here! The Second Act is the weekly newsletter I always wanted in my inbox, packed with obsessively-curated recommendations, thoughtful reflections on books, feelings, life, and the art of making room for more. Whether you're seeking inspiration or connection. The Second Act offers a warm, inviting space for all.
Imagine we’re catching up over coffee and I’m gushing over what I’ve been Lovin’ Lately…
It’s staycation weekend over here and I’m JAZZED. I’m looking forward to lazy mornings, FINALLY watching the first Lord of the Rings (I know, I know), and having all my favorite snacks. The only things I have scheduled are a pedicure and staying up past bedtime…
I’ve been reaching for my e-reader more these days as I’m constantly on the go from kids activities, family outings and various other happenings and I love keeping it protected in a beautiful case. A few of my favorite kindle case shops are Read All Day (use code Danielle15 for 15% off now through July 24th) and Page the Shop. They make my favorites, I love the fun and fresh designs— it just makes me happy to see it in my bag or on my nightstand. I have the Kindle Oasis (key feature - the buttons!) and especially love holding it in one of these cases because it’s even easier to get a good grip on.
Looking for a good movie to watch with your kids this weekend? The 90's classic Parent Trap will give you all the Summer vibes, and might just make you tear up at the end! My son and I will forever be trying to memorize the handshake.
S’Mores are one of my favorite treats, and in most cases, all the fun is in huddling around the fire to roast marshmallows! On the other hand, we almost always have all the ingredients for s’mores on hand, which also makes it a perfect last-minute treat even without the fire! This is where oven s’mores come in! And if you have never added blackberries to your s’mores, or any fruit for that matter, prepare to have your mind blown! The cold, juicy fruit added to the warm s’more is what dreams are actually made of. I can’t wait to make Blackberry S'mores with the kids so very soon!
FRIDAY FAVORITES
Shareing a few of my favorite links bc cool girls don’t gatekeep.
Eberjey PJs— They are soft, buttery, and loose enough to feel relaxed but not so much you are swimming in fabric under your sheets. I love them. (I don’t wash my PJs after every wear FYI, I like to get several sleeps out of them so two pairs is the right amount for one in the wash and one to wear.)
The swooniest Spotify playlist, BREAKFAST IN A NANCY MYERS KITCHEN.
The BEST Pillows for a cozy bed.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in VANILLA!!! My new favorite!!
After months of hauling around so.much.stuff from one activity to the next activity, I upgraded to a large L.L.Bean tote (with monogramming) and I’m so excited to have a better way to haul everything. I got the mauve which I love.
Alright, see ya next week! Leave me a comment on anything you’d like me to include in Lovin’ Lately in the future… Day in the life details? What’s on my TBR? Fave spots in Fresno? Got a question? Lemme know!
