Royal Round Up, Vol 4: Week 11

What a week! Honestly, it wasn't so bad. I was a little off but the weather in New York was beautiful! It was what they call a 'Fool's Spring' since the temperatures are going to drop again this weekend and snow is in the forecast for Tuesday. 

This week honestly had me looking forward to the warmer weather but it also gave me a bit of anxiety. Warm weather always makes me a little nervous because I get the worst FOMO -- I constantly feel like I need to be doing something or I feel like everyone is always doing more than me.

It also gave me bad deja vu because it was the year anniversary of Covid and it just brought back a lot of weird memories. I'm going to write about it in Monday's post but it was a really strange feeling... like I can't believe it was only a year ago but I also can't believe we've been living like this an entire year. I honestly do not know how I am going to do life post pandemic... I don't know how I'm going to go back to work, or not wear a mask -- I'm just nervous about a lot of things right now.

I will save that for Monday though...

This weekend I am spending at home, getting things done and relaxing, as usual. Sunday I'll be going for brunch with my friends and I am excited to sip on mimosas! 

This week was also taken over by thoughts of Meghan Markle and the Royal Family. I wrote a newsletter about the situation on Sunday before the interview and will surely be writing on this Sunday so make sure you are signed up for the newsletter. I've been writing more random, rambling newsletters, mostly centered around pop culture and I love it. I have so many thoughts that don't fit into content pillars for Royally Pink, I feel like the newsletter is a fun, extra post I can provide! Sign up here. Also, Team Meg & Harry. 

Pink Positivity of the Week 

I have been reading nonstop! This week alone I finished 4 books. When the work day is over, I've worked out, eaten dinner, written my blog posts for the week and just need to decompress, I've been cracking open a book. My plan was to read 60 books in 2021... according to Goodreads I am 11 books ahead of schedule since it is only mid March and I've read 22 books so far this year.

I read so fast, I simply cannot stop myself. I also read more than one book at at time, which helps. I might do a post on how I read so fast... I think that would be interesting! It really has been a positive light in my life lately and has helped me get through some bad times.

What I Bought This Week

I cracked this week for the sole reason that Stoney Clover did a 20% off sale. The brand NEVER does sales apart from Black Friday and the sale was one day only, and around items that the brand was discontinuing. I felt like I had to shop because it was my last chance to purchase items I've been wanting. I'm not counting this toward Lent, even though I should... but at the beginning my only stipulation was Stoney Clover new launches/discontinuations. I'm not going to link the items since they are all sold out but if you follow me on Instagram, you saw them!

Have a great and safe weekend everyone!
