Life of a Renaissance Gal
Last week was a bit rough. I’m hoping the sun comes out for this one (literally and figuratively). Watching… Brittany Runs a Marathon. This Amazon original movie came recommended to me by several people. It’s perfect for this time of year. Brittany is unhealthy and unhappy with her life. She decides to make some major…
Watching… Don’t F**k with Cats. I heard about this documentary a couple of times on Armchair Expert and decided to check it out this weekend. It’s a pretty disturbing story about a guy that posts a video online of him killing a couple of kittens. The people of the internet then set out to find…
I did not intend to take such so much time off. I plan to do better this year! Watching… Living with Yourself. My TV watching lately has relied heavily on Netflix. This isn’t the most recent show I watched, but it is definitely the best I’ve watched in the last month (not including a recent…
Watching… The Letdown. This is one of several Australian TV shows that I’ve really enjoyed. I happened across the second season when looking through Netflix shows. The first episode was a bit of a dud but I really liked the rest. It’s the story of a woman that joins a new mom’s group after having…
Reading… Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men. I am currently in the middle of reading several books. This book is this month’s book club books and seeing as I am in charge of leading the discussion, the most pressing in my reading stack. It’s a fascinating, if not depressing, read. I…
Reading… More Than Enough: How One Family Cultivated A More Abundant Life Through A Year Of Practical Minimalism. I’ve been feeling called to and working up towards doing a (clothes) shopping ban for a while. This book has been the most inspiring thing I’ve read towards that end. The author’s philosophy is that “enough is…
Reading… The Year of Less. I bought this book when it came out but hadn’t read it. I was wanting some minimalism inspiration and decided to finally get to this. It was a good book. I’ve read Cait’s blog for years, so there wasn’t a lot that was new to me. If you are looking…
Watching… Evil. I wasn’t planning to watch this show until I read an article with critic’s lists of the best of the new season and this show was on several lists. They all said that it wasn’t a show they wanted to watch before bed so I took that warning with the first episode which…
Watching… Mixed-ish. I’m not a regular Black-ish watcher but I have been enjoying this spin-off. I love that it’s set at the same time I was growing up and that it has a different spin than most comedies. Even if you don’t watch Black-ish, I recommend giving this one a try. Bonus, you get to…
Watching… The Durrells in Corfu. This show checks several boxes for me: it’s set in an exotic location, is British, and is generally a fun light-hearted show. I was thrilled to discover that the entire fourth season is available on PBS Passport so I can binge watch it before it finishes airing on tv. I’m…
