things i especially love this week

nicknames

One of the things I’m proudest of is giving my friend lali her nickname of lalipop. I love calling her lalipop, it’s the sweetest thing and an honor to call her by a second sacred name. I call my bestie selin the name sewin and I love when we give each other nicknames.

anything but water

There is something about grabbing a matcha, a refresher, or a coffee that heals me i’m telling you vro. I love soda, I love juice, I love coffee, I love it all and I would never deprive myself of anything I love

good music

I’m one of those music listeners that will replay a new song 40 times. Every week I’m listening to new music and it’s all good and when you’re good and grown good music will really do something to you.

being rich

i’ve been thinking about this one and I genuinely am so rich in life! My hg’s write me handwritten cards, children love me, my grandma calls me bc she wants to hear my voice, my legs take me far, my village cares about me and we all want to see each other accomplish everything we’ve ever wanted. Genuinely the most valuable thing I own right now is a quilted bag giselle sewed for me.

brainrot

I LOVE when all my friends and cousins are on tiktok or instagram on the same time and I genuinely reach flow state and we are laffing and sending each other memes and reels LMBO I be kicking my feet in bed. I also luv brainrot like meaf and quiet on the creek

my hair

need I say more

Melody and I have been getting into fishwife tinned fish, and this week I made a savory snack plate with sardines, baby pickles, pita chips, and magic. It was very tasty and vada rey said she wanted to try and she actually liked it. I didn’t take a photo but just imagine it and it’s beautiful. A trader joes is opening about 10 mins away from my house so I’m excited because they have great products for my future savory snack plates.

Also the family I nanny for is absolutely so sweet. This week the parents were on facetime with their family from the netherlands to show them their son and I was holding the kiddo and 5 people on facetime started saying “leslie! leslie! is that leslie?”
