July Recap
a little bit of everything I want to share with you
Hi there,
I have seen some pieces like this floating around on here, and I absolutely love the idea of sharing the content I’ve explored this month with the lot of you.
It’s such a fun, intimate way to inspire your daily life, even if just through a simple recommendation.
I’ve decided to start sharing my monthly recommendations at the end of each month!

Here is what I loved in July
July Watches
The Bear — omg literally such a phenomenal show, if you haven’t yet watched it, I highly, highly encourage you to do so as soon as possible.
1923 — Hi, okay, where do I even begin here? Literally, this series is so good, if you haven’t watched Yellowstone, firstly, have you been living under a rock? Second, watch 1883, then 1923, then Yellowstone. The entire trilogy is just insane. So well done. Everything about it is absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend it enough. Also obsessed with romanticizing cowboys and everything western right now because of it — toxic, I know.

July Work (by me)
Wouldn’t feel right, unfortunately, in the world of social media marketing, to write a piece without promoting my own works, so here are my favourite pieces I wrote this month<3
Shameless self plug, actually.
I can’t put my phone down
When I was eighteen I found out that, at an age when I was too young to even realize what was going on in the world around me and mom had told me that dad was on a work trip in Mexico, my dad was actually in jail wrapping a shoelace around his esophagus in attempt to escape the misery of living as a failure in the eyes of no one but himself.

July Listens
I am absolutely always listening to an influx of music. Here is what I have really been loving this month
Patti Smith — naturally, but also because I saw her live, and you know how it goes; the admiration for the artist returns after you’ve seen them live, it always does.
Fontaines D.C. and The Smashing Pumpkins in preparation for their concerts this coming month, which I am so excited for
Radium Dolls are a really fun Australian band that I discovered earlier this month, and I’ve really been loving them this month
