Hiii! And happy weekend! How’s everyone doing? I hope you’re well, staying cool, and soaking up a little bit of summer wherever this finds you.

Here’s what caught my eye this week in culture, news, beauty, fashion, feel-good finds, et al.

And to close it out, three things that deserve more attention:

1. Community bulletin boards.

2. Sunscreen on your hands.

3. Calling instead of texting (the best!).
