WELLNESS: SCALP SUNSCREEN IS A MUST TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN
Protecting your scalp from the sun is just as important as your skin—especially if you have thinning hair and/or spend lots of time outdoors. The scalp is highly susceptible to sunburn, which can lead to peeling, irritation, and long-term damage — not to mention, hair loss! Look for lightweight options like Supergoop! Poof 100% Mineral Part Powder SPF 35, which acts like a dry shampoo that also delivers broad-spectrum protection or you can try a spray like the Coola Scalp & Hair Mist SPF 30 for quick coverage.

HOME: TRENDS THAT INTERIOR DESIGNERS WISH THEY SAW MORE OF
Interior designers are calling for more personality and charm in our homes—and it starts with the little things. From cozy sconces and versatile canopy beds to bold powder rooms and decorative ceilings, these underused trends can add major character without overwhelming your space. Designers also love personal touches, like art with a story or handcrafted details, to make a house feel truly lived-in and joyful.

TRAVEL: LABOR DAY WEEKEND GETAWAYS
Labor Day weekend is right around the corner, making now the perfect time to lock in a last summer getaway. Whether you’re dreaming of breezy coastal views, outdoor adventures, or vibrant city escapes, there’s no shortage of options—from kayaking in Point Reyes and hiking in Big Bear to sipping wine in Washington’s Yakima Valley or dancing through Nashville’s music scene. Whether you’re on a budget or ready to splurge, there’s a destination for every travel vibe—just don’t wait too long to book.

Beckett,

If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have.

I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride.

My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone…

The Last Letter is quite the ride. It feels as if it’s playing in your head & is a slow burn when it comes to romance, heartbreak, and inspiration.

ON INSPIRATION: Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Inspiration doesn’t normally come to you in the idle moments, but rather during the process of you partaking in some work. Instead of waiting for a perfect idea to arrive, dive into what you’re feeling, even if you don’t think it can be inspiring. Could be writing, creating, or solving a problem because they open the door for inspiration to meet you halfway.
