Both modern and vintage. Modern ones are cheap souvenirs to get whenever I travel and are a great way to cover my walls. Vintage ones are fun since they give a little window into ordinary people’s lives in the past (especially if they have writing on them)

A most perfect souvenir! Inexpensive, lots of options, don’t have to worry about where you’ll store it traveling home. I love sending them to friends but also always get some for myself. I often tape them into my journal with pictures or highlights from the trip. If they came from a specific location I like putting information pertaining to our visit on them (ex: getting one from a museum and writing the exhibits or favorite pieces you saw, getting one from a town or venue where you saw a concert and writing the set list)

One of my favorite sections of any vintage store is the postcards/photo sections. You can usually find used ones that are full of love, and if you are lucky, draaamaaaaa. Oh, the things people wrote to each other about is so silly sometimes. A real sign of the times. You can be entertained for hours. Sometimes there are multiple written by the same people, so you really get to know the skinny on what their lives were like. You do need to know how to read cursive though, because every single letter is in the most insane handwriting you've ever seen.

Vibes of 90s dance music. It’s been stuck in my head for ages

I’m usually terrible at going to bed on time and thus getting up early enough to have a relaxing morning, but the last couple days I’ve been getting up early enough to have a cup of tea and sit on the couch and listen to music before anyone else in the house gets up. It’s nice to have a little space to breathe before rushing off to wherever. Probably won’t last as a habit, but it’s nice for now :)
