Sliding back into your inbox and life 😌
Because I have a new playlist, a list of places to check out, and a whole lot of GIFs
🗣 Hey Siri, play “Welcome Back” by Mase.
Wow. It feels so good to be back here with youuu💚. I’ve truly missed this. How have you been? What’s new? What’s something good that’s been happening in your life? ✨ It’s been awhile. It’s like time is moving faster and the days are going by. Whoever has the life remote on 2x speed, can we please slow it down???
*Actual footage of me every time I look at the calendar:*
Between time moving a little faster, outside being more open, and everything in between, I’m just trying to keep up with life and find the right songs to go with it.
At this point, I can only assume that you’re now probably thinking one of three things:
No, for real, where have you and these newsletters been? 🤔
What is this? I signed up to receive this and it’s the first one I’m getting. 🤷🏾♀️
Should I keep reading?🚶🏾♀️
Whether questions 1, 2, 3, or all of them applies to you, thank you for even getting to this sentence, being here in this space with me, and choosing to entertain these notes to you.
To answer the first question: No, for real, where have you and these newsletters been?
I’ve really just been outside. If you’ve been following my solo adventures on TikTok, I’ve been having fun trying to see what the city of LA truly has to offer. The more I explore, the more I’m convinced that LA is the best city to live in☀️🌴 . Here are some of the places I’ve been if you live in or decide to visit the city.
Visiting Spas 🧖🏾♀️: I never knew I needed a coconut milk foot soak until I tried it. 10/10 experience and I will be returning.
Visiting Museums: Still one of my favorite things to do. This latest exhibit I went to was so inspiring 😭😭😭
Enjoying Dinners: If there is one restaurant I will recommend this month it’s Majordomo. You can thank me later.
Note: This high-key is an itinerary for a great weekend. Let me know if you check out any of these places. (Should I turn this into a series? 👀👀👀)
Moving on to the second question: What is this? I signed up to receive this and it is the first one I’m getting.
This newsletter really is just a safe space for you and I. I’ll share updates, music playlists, things I’ve been reading, places to check out, and more. You can also message me back to.
This brings me to the third question: Should I keep reading?
I’ll leave that up to you to answer. 🙂
Sooooo now that we’re on the same page, for this week’s newsletter, I just had to come back to share all the good music I’ve been listening to. Shoutout to the music holding you and I down during the summer. Here are a few of them.
Tiana Major9: On God!
It’s the lyrics for me. Who doesn’t love a good song about love????
We ain't gotta make it too hard (Too hard) Know you got a piece of my heart (My heart) I'm for you, baby, that's on God (on God) I love you, baby, that's on God
Dende - Sugar Daddy
Okay if by somehow and some chance Dende is reading this. Can we please get an LA show? Sincerely me and everyone who has listened to your music.
Steve Lacy - Sunshine
Did you press play? Is it your new favorite song? The whole album is up there for best new releases of the year.
