Happy Friday, friends! Welcome to the weekly edit | 5.7.21, where I share all of the things that have been on my radar in the past week.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted on the blog (sad face). I’ve been feeling uninspired recently and I’m not sure why. I have been thinking of some fun content ideas over the past couple of days, though so fingers crossed that I’m getting out of this slump! I can’t wait to make those ideas happen and share with you here 🙂 Now, let’s get into this week’s list!
