Hello lovelies , hope everyone is doing well today I’m bringing this series back to share what’s been catching my eye and hopefully spark some inspiration for you . Hope you enjoy it .
Lately, I’ve been diving into so many Substack posts, and I must say it’s been incredibly inspiring. At the same time I’ve started really enjoying Instagram. I never used to like IG much but now the algorithm feels so much more aligned with my taste. I find myself saving posts that inspire me, and honestly I’ve been treating my saved folders like my Pinterest boards but better.
On Pinterest unless I meticulously curate every piece I often stumble upon the same repetitive images. But with Instagram there’s this beautiful discovery of niche creators small accounts that aren’t widely known but whose content speaks to me deeply.
A few days ago, some of those niche creators started following me back. We’re mutuals now and it’s been such a lovely surprise knowing they appreciate what I share too. Lately, I’ve been having fun with IG again casual posts, stories, glimpses of what I love and it’s such a wholesome way to connect with others.
I genuinely feel like the communities on both Instagram and Substack have this unique energy. When I post on either, it’s like the audience gets me they understand my taste, the things I love …... There’s something really special about that.
In June, I released a paid guide where I shared all of my media consumption from articles to inspiring content and more cool discoveries from the month.

Read how to giggle book last week and I really enjoyed it finished it in one afternoon lol
From this book : Still, though unprepared, I unknowingly transformed myself into a modern-day flâneur—or, as a woman, a flâneuse—the nineteenthcentury term for anyone who wanders around idly while observing people and their surroundings
As I walked, I inhaled the unmistakable scent of butter, only to indulge my senses further with a flaky, buttery croissant. Somehow, I found my way to the gardens of Place des Vosges, where elegant elders sat on benches engaged in deep conversation, small children giggled and ran around screeching, and lovers lay close together in the grass stroking a forehead, moving aside strands of hair, and kissing as if the world weren’t watching. I observed many generations in one beautiful space surrounded by centuries-old architecture I knew nothing about at the time.
See you soon angels and hope you enjoyed this post , more posts coming soon
