I loved this so much. Didn’t want it to end and hope you do it again!! You’re the most relatable person ever (you know how to put into words the way we all are feeling).
Adored this post! I love seeing the slow, steady life you're building and I will just say, I always get excited to see your instagram stories of your pup, floral chaise, and book. It's a life I am trying to achieve for myself and I find yours so inspiring and a good reminder to find joy in the everyday. Hope we get to see more weeks in the life in the future. Thank you for sharing!
I loved this post, Olivia. I really appreciate your vulnerability in your writing, particularly as it pertains to body/self-image, slow living, and seeking joy in what may seem like the smallest of things. I’m 37 this year and it is a daily occurrence now that I am caught off guard by the person that I see in the mirror. I’m not sure if I will ever “accept myself,” but your rich writing reminds me that I am not alone and that far greater joy will be found by appreciating where my feet are planted now and observing nature, finding gratitude, and loving those closest to me. I hope that you will write that book. Your voice matters.
You’re extremely relatable and I love your writing style. Every essay feels like I’m just listening to you (yes, even the ones I have to read!)
I also used to bite my nails/cuticles and I very much remember my mom warning me about not being able to have photos of my hands at my wedding because they’d be scarred (which is terrible- my mom has no memory of this but I bring it up anytime she admires my natural nails and ring) 😂
I love love this. The best creators are the ones you stick with no matter their phase in life because, while you love their content, you really enjoy the person. I will enjoy any phase you give us!!
Hi Olivia. I loved this post so much! Honestly would be happy to see a recap like this quite often. I think it’s not the outfit posts and the links we miss—your life is DREAMY to us and we just like to hear from you and see what you’re up to. Thanks for this, it was truly fun.
I absolutely LOVED this post and have been thinking about it all day after reading this morning. As a fellow someone who feels as if my life has shifted away from being less online/not posting as much of my day to day because it just feels too normal, I really appreciate your perspective and willingness to share your life, because even if it feels normal to you, it was exciting and different to me!!
I loved this! You are still so relatable, no matter what you tell yourself. We are all the worst critics of ourselves and you being honest about that is the absolutely best!!
Just like everyone else, I loved this post. As someone who is trying to write a novel (at a painfully slow pace it currently feels like) I get so much inspiration from your routines and lifestyle. You remind me to find beauty in the process and in the little moments!
Love this post! Thanks for sharing your life in such a real way. I’m getting ready to start the husbands, I’ve been powering through a book I don’t love and this was the push I needed to put it down and start the husbands.
I just stumbled upon your Substack via Notes and I love this format of your weekly recap! Can't wait to read all your other content too. Have an amazing day :)

Thank you so much, Gina! I really enjoyed writing it and I'm glad you did too. Thanks for the major compliment! I try <3

Thank you so much, Rebecca! It's a good life indeed. I'm very lucky. Thanks for being here!!
This is the kind of post I really love. Brings me back to the classic blogging days of yore.
And for the record, the content you post these days is great. I love seeing your house, your town, your books, etc. You do you!
Thank you so much. It reminded me of the OG blogging days, too. I really loved it. Thanks for following along. <3

I love this so much. Thank you for sharing. These kind of comments mean the world to me. I want to print it out and frame it!! Thank you.

Hahaha. I can remember someone saying something similar to me, actually (I am also a reformed cuticle picker).
Ty for the kind words!
The joy of watching your plant grow changing to the silly realization it was a weed is a metaphor for so much! Loved this recap.
It's true! We had a very good laugh there.
I love love this. The best creators are the ones you stick with no matter their phase in life because, while you love their content, you really enjoy the person. I will enjoy any phase you give us!!
Right back at you, Jordan!!! <3
Love this week in the life! More of this!
Yay!

It's so, so good.
