The final Summer Saturdays is here and if you’ve read any of these, you’re a hero and I love you. Summer doesn’t technically end until September 22nd, but I’m going by the accepted norm that Labour Day weekend ends this season so we’re saying goodbye to this series until next year. (Although Fall Fridays does sound kind of perfect…)
EATING
Yellow watermelon from the Union Square Greenmarket. And it tasted better than red, which seems like witchery.
DRINKING
I’ve had so much white sangria this summer, I think I need to retire it immediately.
COOKING
I made my favourite chicken marsala for our anniversary dinner. There is always so much leftover sauce that I used it the following day on roasted potatoes and good god it was heaven.
BAKING
I made these wildly easy espresso chocolate chip cookies with browned butter on a whim because I wanted something sweet.
CRAVING
I need to eat the seasonal tomato focaccia with green garlic butter at Lilia this week. I know I’ll regret it if I don’t.

LISTENING
To hair tutorials on Instagram and, uh, they suck? I tried maybe five different ones and they all didn’t work. If you have (undisclosed) hair extensions and you film hair tutorials, you should gently walk into the ocean because you’re helping no one.
WATCHING
Nathan and I saw the horror movie Talk To Me and okay yes the story was good, but I truly hate gore. Seeing someone rip their own eyeball out gives me no joy, what can I say.
WEARING
Summer Fridays lip butter balm. It was a sample (I’m trying to go through all my beauty samples before they expire) and it’s very sticky, but the gloss is incredible. Is it worth $32 American dollars? Oh gracious no.
EXPERIENCING
Went to a Jays game and it was great! They lost, but in extra innings so it was still a fun one.

LOVING
I can’t stop making reels.
SHOPPING
The Hero Mighty Patch strips. I love this brand so much for pimples. I wish they’d make one big face-covering patch to sleep in.
