5 things for the weekend 25.05

reading multiple books, creativebug, salmon bites bowl, good reading habits, declutter your closet

This year, one of the ways I am sharing online is by using pinned posts on social media. On Instagram you can follow along to see what books I have read. And hop over to Threads to see all my finished art & craft projects. This is both a way of engaging with like-minded souls, and a way to keep myself accountable. i think you already know that I am all about lists and tracking, and this is another way for me to indulge myself and nerd out.

Are you doing anything similar?

5 Things

1. Molly Templeton wonders if she’s reading too many books at once. As a multibook reader myself I appreciated her take on this, and now I want to add even more books to me rotation!

2. Get a 60-Day free membership at CreativeBug, one of my top recommendations for art & craft classes. I’ve been a member for about 10 years, and it’s my go-to for creative ideas and skill learning.

3. I’m all about the bowls for my work lunches now since realising they are the perfect thing to pack and carry. Planning to try this salmon bites version next.

4. Maybe coming up with good reading habits and rituals is the way to better read multiple books at once? I don’t know for sure but I did enjoy this article from the Booker Prize on how to create good reading habits this year.

5. Since doing my 75 Hard Style Challenge last year I have a much better feel for looks and outfits I like, and am now better at editing my wardrobe. I have cleared out quite a bit already, and will definitely try this Rule of 3 method, the next time I do a declutter.
