Coming into DC

I don’t normally record but I did today

6/24 Edited to

... Read moreVisiting Washington, DC, is often a memorable experience, especially when you decide to document moments you usually wouldn’t. Capturing a trip to the nation’s capital can bring a new appreciation for its vibrant culture, busy streets, and iconic landmarks. Whether you're walking through the National Mall or exploring lesser-known neighborhoods, recording your journey helps preserve those fleeting feelings. Although I usually don’t record my visits, this time, choosing to do so made me realize how much these moments are worth remembering. Washington, DC, offers a mix of history and modernity that feels energetic and inspiring. From the impressive memorials to the bustling food scene, every corner offers something to see and enjoy. Having a recording adds a personal narrative that photos or written notes alone often can’t convey. If you find yourself in DC and normally avoid recording, consider doing it just once. It can give you a fresh viewpoint and make the trip feel even more special. The city’s unique blend of politics, culture, and everyday life offers endless possibilities for stories that can surprise even seasoned visitors. Embracing this practice has enhanced my connection to the places I visit, making each trip richer and more engaging.

Marshalls Coming Through!
I hit the Marshalls jackpot while I was on vacation. This store was stocked with scents I have never seen before! All the ones pictured are absolutely amazing but I did take home the Vanilla Cashmere and the Cozy Cashmere Vanilla. Both I have incorporated into my daily scents. They ARE FABULOUS.
