Here’s a rewritten and streamlined version of the content while maintaining its essence:
Hello friends! Happy Friday! What’s on your agenda for the weekend? We’ve got several NCL events planned, including swimming, barbecuing, and catching up with loved ones. I’m also diving into a new workshop—details coming next week!
After we returned home, we celebrated with a big family dinner featuring all the fixings (check out our Summer Red introduction here).
Here are a few highlights from the week:
Shopping Finds from Spain
From a local market, I picked up two paintings and two candlesticks. While I’m not sure if they’ve found their permanent home, I’m loving how they look for now!
Home Refresh Inspiration
I’ve been feeling inspired to update our space, starting with the office. My goal is to create a cozy spot for writing and biohacking.
Friday Faves
It’s time for my weekly roundup of favorites—things I’ve loved this week and discoveries from around the web. I’d love to hear your favorites too, so drop them in the comments!

- Italian Leather: I bought a beautiful handbag in Florence for just €60. Shopping at small leather shops in Italy is a must!
