If you know me, you know I’m all in on headwear. I just think there’s so many interesting options that could and should be adopted more frequently. As you’ve likely seen in several PI guest recs, one of the budding trends in headwear is crochet hats. What’s especially great about these particular ones is the price is fantastic for the quality, so naturally, I had to get one for each family member. Not only are they a great and really affordable, but the designs are sweet: perfect color blends, browns and tans as well as bright summer combos, in swirling and checked patterns.

If you're lookin' for a reliable, portable chair that fits in your tote, this is it. Its size is advertised as water bottled sized, but I gotta admit, it's slightly bigger, but don't worry, the chair itself opens up into a huge chair that is really comfy. And trust me and the chair, you can lean back without worrying about it tumblin' over.

I’ve had a growing interest in “premium magazines”, I love reading something in magazine format that’s put together with a little extra care, bound with a solid spine, and a more substantial paper stock. My most recent foray into premium mags is the architectural review - which explores different architects (dead or alive) and their work, with building plans, final products, reflections, collages, and so much more. It’s a joy to flip through, both to appreciate the art of the architecture itself as well as the layout and design of the zine.

This early 2000’s sitcom is a diamond in the rough. I don’t know how I had never heard of it before, but I’m eternally grateful to have uncovered it in the depths of google, while on the search for my next show. It’s a short-lived dark comedy with only 3 seasons, about a book store owner (Bernard) who doesn’t feel like dealing with the troubles of owning a book store (having customers, restocking books, selling anything, accounting), his friend Fran who owns a knick-knack shop next door, and Manny, who’s just kind of out of left field. Each episode is a quick fun watch, the characters are great, the plot’s a little ridiculous, and the acting is also top tier.

That’s right, I’m dumping more money into Google’s deep pockets, but at least less than I could be — I got YouTube premium back when it was more affordable and branded YouTube “Red”, so I’m grandfathered in at the old rate (I would probably be willing to cough up the 15/month if I wasn’t though…). There’s pure joy to be had in the freedom to leave the YouTube app while still listening to a video, or download a video to my phone to watch later, all without ads. Aside from music streaming, this is probably my most used monthly “service”.

Willie Dunn is a Canadian folk/country artist who made his name performing reflections on the history of indigenous life in early Canada, and if you take the time to look into the background of some of these songs, he really touches on some heavy stuff. This anthology is a collection of some of his best work exploring these topics. Beyond the meaning, which is often thoughtful and honestly beautiful, the music itself is top tier. His deep voice sounds timeless as he tells tales over classic finger-pluckin’ acoustic folk.

Summer on the east coast has been scorchin' and I haven't really threw on pants, but when I do, my go to has been Gramicci's classic G-Pants. I've owned a black pair for about 5+ years now and they basically last forever. I keep going back to them because they're timeless and it's really the all-occasion pants. It's that pair of pants you kinda throw on you don't know if you're just gonna be chillin' or goin' on a spontaneous hike.

It all started with a single cocktail I got at a local restaurant a few months ago. How come no one told me cucumbers can be so refreshing? Ever since June, I don't think I've taken a single wrong turn with cucumber, seriously. Homemade pickles? 10/10 Cucumber Cooler Cocktail? 10/10. Adding it to my salads? Also can't go wrong there. My fruit pick of this summer is officially cucumber.

Okay, I think Blueland has basically made itself onto everyone's feed via ads at this point. I've basically ignored it because my family has had bad experiences with their dispensers. So recently my sister told me that she swapped out the containers for an automatic dispenser, and I can attest that it is a life changer. The Blueland soaps are basically mentos sized pills that you create foaming soap with, so it's super easy to store. This is probably the greatest duo ever.

It has been one and a half years since I've switched from my regular old head & shoulders shampoo to Prose. Prose let's you select goals for your hair, and custom scents that are updated every season. I've always had extremely oily hair which instantly causes my hair to be super flat, so my goal was to control oil for better volume. The custom formula they've concocted for me did exactly that. Their custom scents are also a huge plus. I've gone from Jasmine to smokier Bergamot, and it's super nice to always switch it up without actually changing the formula.
