Where to eat in dc, things to do in dc

Our 30s aren’t just about “getting older” they’re about finally letting ourselves be well, our full selves.

We’re trading the burnout for boundaries, the trends for timeless style, and the “shoulds” for what actually lights us up.

Here are the 5 shifts that changed everything:

1️⃣ I stopped compromising on where I live. Even if a move to a different city didn’t make sense to most people, no matter how many “that sounds hard or complicated” I got, I trusted my intuition and it paid off.

2️⃣ I stopped treating PTO like a luxury. I’m done working on travel days. I’m actually enjoying the journey now because I deserve the rest.

3️⃣ I stopped putting off buying the art and furniture. Just because you’re not in your forever home doesn’t mean you can’t start curating for it now with the pieces that light you up and feel like home.

4️⃣ I stopped being afraid to be “regulars”. It’s not cringey for the barista to recognize you because it’s the 4th time there this week. This is how you build a sense of community.

5️⃣ I stopped letting myself think it’s cringey to bring in playfulness into my wardrobe and things I do. Turns out the secret is in what your 12 year old self would find fun in hobbies and adding a sense of personal style to you closet.

Which of these shifts are you feeling the most right now? Let’s talk in the comments.

Do yall think the should make the cut? I think the reformation fern satin shorts definitely will.

I love dressing for spring but it requires layers so when you eat to pack light I feel like it gets really tricky….especially when you’re only packing a carryon and want to do some shopping once you get to Barcelona.

Let me know what spring and summer trips yall are packing for!

Here are the outfit details but comment SHOP and I can send you the links so you don’t have to go digging:

Shoes - avarcas
Shorts - reformation
Top - Ralph Lauren Ruby shirt from boys section

What to pack do Barcelona, what to packing to Spain, what to where in Spain, reformation fern shorts

If you’re dreaming up your packing list right now for a trip to Europe, let’s pack together.

I was so surprised that this Roller Rabbit DC cherry blossom print skirt hasn’t completely sold out yet online, so let me know if you need the link to this look!

And let me know if you want to see more of what I’m packing like this!!

If you’re getting bored living in DC, i honestly don’t know how. And now that spring is here one of the highlights is the walkability of your weekend plans.

I’m a walker so any walk under 30 minutes is a no brainer for me, but doyou want museums and where to eat after for shorter walks or just keep expanding on the list?

What are yalls favorite weekend activities in DC?

If you’re getting bored living in DC, I honestly don’t know how…but in case you need some inspo, here’s your weekend itinerary.

Friday:
It’s been a long week and unless it’s 75 degrees and sunny for once staying in and cooking dinner sounds like a dream.

It’s also the perfect time to catch up on a new hobby you’ve started.

Where to order in from:
Indian @indigonoma
Pizza @allpurposedc
Sushi @lovemakotodc
Sandwich (and late night) @youronlyfrienddc
Sweet treat: @milkbarstore
Chicken Caesar salad wrap: @tedsbulletin

Friday night hobby ideas: needlepoint, embroidery, journaling, baking

Saturday:
Walk the dogs down the mall and grab a cappuccino at Bar Americano

Head to a museum that’s on someone in the friends group bucket list

Drinks on a patio that turns into dinner, then home at a reasonable time

Sunday:
Pilates at @toolboxnomapilates (we don’t gatekeep) because you’re not tempted to cancel because you’re not hungover and were home at a reasonable time last night

Grab a cappuccino at Pluma on the way back home

Do something new - take a class, go to a talk, try a new sport

Cook yourself your favorite healthy dinner and put you’re phone away because we all know doom scrolling only makes the Sunday scarier worse

I’ve been on a mission to figure out ways to style the reformation fern shorts in different ways because they key to shopping for trendy pieces has to be that you can style them at least 3 different ways.

If you searched on Pinterest on how to style them and feel like you just kept seeing them one way…same.

Did you decide to get these shorts for spring?

Let’s make your apartment the dreamy space you’ve wanted by summer.

Y’all are always asking how I make my apartment feel as cozy as a house and a non-negotiable for me is having fresh floral arrangements…just not with the price tag.

I grabbed these from Trader Joe’s and put this DIY floral arrangement together for under $27.

Flowers used:
Chamomile · Gerbera · Veronica · Carnations · Green accent stems

Carnation tip to make them look fuller (gently push down on the base of the flower and roll it back and forth)

For the full tutorial comment FLORAL and I’ll send you the link to the YouTube video.

It’s time to get all of these in order. What is yalls favorite way to organize your pr unboxing?

Most people won’t don’t this, but the more immersed in digital lives we get, the more we’re craving the offline world that feels so distance.

I love all the opportunities that having a digital career has provided me but as I’m having a reset for Q2, I’ve realized that the magic to 2026 isn’t about creating a course or an ebook. I think it’s going to be in what we can hold in our hands at the end of a long day when we’re tired from being on our phones all day.

It’s in something that’s going to make us look in the mirror and see our persona style shine through and feel like it’s truly you and not copy paste of everyone else.

As you’re resetting for Q2 let me know where your focus is going to go so you feel you have a say in the direction of your life?
