Rain + Shine

Welcome to the email to about 46 of you. I tried everything to send the last email to y’all but couldn’t! So if you missed it you can view it here.

BOY THIS WEEK WAS A GOOD ONE.

Every single thing I set off to grow in this year was accomplished. Just for a week but let’s count the small victories in 20224, shall we?

Very low screen time, read some brilliant books (Domestic Monastery, Practicing the Way, 40 Days to a Joy-Filled Life), kept the sink free of dishes (IYKYK major accomplishment!), ran my 1 mile of the week, and overall had a great attitude.

I don’t know if I should talk about my own self in these emails or share things helpful to y’all but hopefully both will suffice.

Being on top of things has felt SO DANG GOOD. It’s something I really struggle with, so keeping a consistently clean house and low screen time are literally deserving of gold medals around here.

What are the things that make your world go round? Keep your mind at ease? How were they for you this week?

This week’s shared-in-email-only photos

New fav jumpsuit brought to life on tiktok, new fit for a wedding i’m in in Greece this summer, inspo for cosy campbell (did you know I have a pottery biz?), and my breakfast from every day this week.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Getting right into it.

“Now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.” -John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Did I mention that one already? Well, we need to hear it again + again + again.

If you struggle with perfectionism, you know this line is incredibly freeing.

Set out to workout every morning this week and didn’t quite make it? Good thing you don’t have to be perfect to be good. Try again next week.

Had high hopes to learn a new hobby in January and only got 4 days left? Good thing time isn’t a constraint on learning something new.

My point is, don’t worry about being perfect. We’re good if we’re trying our best and that’s the most important thing.

WHAT I SHOPPED FOR THIS WEEK

Highroller, already mentioned.

THESE SUNNIES WOWOW. I do have a sunglasses addiction but for $25? Sold.

Amazon Basic Red Mock-Neck Tee (I got a M)

Amazon Headband Pack (10$? Again, sold. Cool girls are wearing the 90s headbands)

LINKS, BB

As promised, here’s the links for what I’m wearing currently:

Free People High Roller: Tried it on in december, couldn’t stop thinking about it, bought it this weekend, haven’t taken it off. Check my Tiktok for proof.

Shoes: White vans (in 2 versions) + doc marten loafers have been on repeat.

This VVV Sweater is sadly out of stock. But here’s a similar option (no commission, just a rec!)

Mikoh sale still happening! My treasures from the last newsletter arrived + I couldn’t be more excited.

Storq is 80% of the bras or underwear I use + their new arrivals are coming in the mail currently. The code “SIECE” gets 10 of y’all 15% off!! I wear all my maternity pieces from them STILL so for those of us in our baby making years, these are the ones for us!

Avy + Co has been a hyper-fixation of mine for a while and continues to be. Not an affiliate link just a major rec.

Always ask for anything I miss!

WORDS OF LOVE, FOR YOU

Short and sweet: what are you doing well in your life right now?

Do you feel capable of counting it toward how wonderful you are?

I often dwell on what I’m doing wrong. All day I take stock of what I haven’t done without ever counting the things I am doing.

Shoot, the laundry isn’t done I said I’d do that, I think… As I do the dishes, having finished cleaning the floors, and showed my daughter the barnacles at the beach, and dropped off beer at Waves and Fades .

It’s so easy to tally our shortcomings while turning a blind eye to all we’ve succeeded at.

Can I request you take a quick score of everything you’ve done so far today? Not what you haven’t gotten to. And count the small things. Answering an email counts. Taking your supplements counts.

I’m loving myself that way this evening, and I hope you do the same.

That’s all folks!

Thanks for reading along. xx,

your friend,

Siece.
