I don't know who else needs to hear this today, but this hit me right in the heart:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"Perfectionism is a refusal to let yourself move ahead. It is a loop–an obsessive, debilitating, closed system that causes you to get stuck in the details of what you are writing or painting or making and to lose sight of the whole...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough–that we should try again. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No. We should not.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
…A book is never finished. But at a certain point, you stop writing it and go on to the next thing.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
...That is a normal part of creativity–letting go.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Excerpts from The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julie Cameron⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As writers, as bloggers, as actors, as artists, as creative individuals–we can be really hard on ourselves. Do you struggle with perfectionism? How do you overcome it?⁠⁠

HAPPY BELATED 151st BIRTHDAY 🎂⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The Metropolitan Museum of Art celebrated its 151st birthday this week! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While you might know those steps behind the fountain as a famous filming site from Gossip Girl, The Met is home to more than 2 million artworks from around the world, spanning 5,000 years of history.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Some of my favorite exhibits include:⁠⠀
✨The Temple of Dendur⁠⠀
✨The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden⁠⠀
✨American Wing Period Rooms⁠⠀
✨The Met Cloisters⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While The Met does not offer free admission hours/days, New York State residents and NY/NJ/CT students can pay-what-they-wish for entry fees. For everyone else, adult admission is $25, students with a valid ID is $12, seniors (65+) is $17, and children under 12 are free. The Met and The Cloisters each require a separate ticket.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I've spent full days wandering The Met and still have rooms to discover! What's a museum you never feel bored going back to?⁠⠀

STORYTIME ✨⁠⠀
⁠⠀
OK, so the day we climbed up the hill at Griffith Park to see the Hollywood sign...⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I didn't know that we were climbing up a hill to see the Hollywood sign 😂 ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Otherwise, I would NOT have worn heels!⁠ Even so, it was worth the trek to catch a glimpse of this view. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Did you know that the Hollywood sign was originally supposed to be temporary? It was built in 1923 as an ad for the Hollywoodland real estate development and was only supposed to last about a year and a half.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The first time we visited LA (circa 2010) the Hollywood Sign was actually covered in a protest to save it. Swipe to see it, pulled out of the family archives 👉👉👉⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Have you ever realized too late that you *totally* wore the wrong shoes?!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
P.S. HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY FRIENDS! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀

SAME TIME. LAST YEAR ✨⁠⠀
⁠⠀
After a year of barely leaving the house, it's nice to reflect on trips that had been taken. A year ago, my giant extended family took a trip to Los Angeles, California, and it was the last time we've been all together since.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It's funny to think back on now–at the time, we were talking about how we should do this every winter. A time before babies were born and people passed away.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Y'know, just reminiscing over here! I hope you don't mind, but I'm probably almost going to definitely cover my feed with pictures of sunny LA for the next week or two...... 😊⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What was the last trip you went on?⁠

LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS 🎁⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! This year, I am DONE shopping. Really! I actually can't believe it, because I am a master procrastinator. Anyone else? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While I love shopping for the perfect gift, sometimes, you forget and need to come up with something amazing at the last minute. Things you can create from what you have around the house and even digitally can be delightful! Meaningful gifts without the major stress of shipping fees:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Break out your kitchen skills and bake something they'll love!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Or, write down your favorite recipes and put them into their own recipe book⁠⠀

✨ Grab a festive mug and fill it with treats or a make-you-own hot chocolate mix
⁠⠀
✨ Craft them a homemade wreath⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Fill up an ornament, vase, or jar with compliments, date ideas, or memories ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Gift them a subscription to their favorite streaming service or skills software⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Purchase a digital print from a local artist or graphic designer to print and frame⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Print pictures from your recent trip together or favorite memories and include them in a scrapbook or glue them to a canvas⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Last but certainly not least, put the receipt for the surprise trip you booked for them for next year in a handmade card. They’re definitely going to love this one 😆⠀

GUESS WHAT TODAY IS?

It's a Friday the 13th. And in a year like 2020, it can feel a little bit ominous.

But instead, I'm looking on the bright side. Today is special. This Friday the 13th is World Kindness Day.

Be kind, spread joy. I hope you brighten someone's day today ✨⁠

NEW YORK CITY FALL FESTIVALS 🍂⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I know, this hasn't been a normal year. And it's weird to think that festivals could still be happening somewhere. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But! Even though some of New York City's signature fall festivals have been canceled, others are going forward following the City's health guidelines:⁠⠀
⁠⁠⠀
✨ Cider Week New York City ~ November 5 - 16, 2020⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ New York Comedy Festival ~ November 9 - 15, 2020⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Salon Du Chocolat NY ~ November 14 - 15, 2020⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Find more information about all of these festivals using the link in my bio!⁠⠀

WHAT SHOULD I BAKE NEXT?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I should've known, with all the apples around, I wouldn't be able to resist baking 😆⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So far, some delicious confections have come out of the kitchen:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Healthy-ish Apple Crisp (no butter!)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Apple Cider Coffee Cake⁠ (lots of butter!)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
✨ Spiked Hot Apple Cider⁠⠀
⁠⠀
With a refrigerator still full of apples, and a Lyndsay only too glad to bake with them, I ask you, Instagram friend - What in the world do I bake next?!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Head to my Stories to vote, and if you have any recipe recommendations, send them my way 🍎 🍏⁠

DID YOU GO APPLE PICKING THIS FALL?⁠ 🍎⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Although we're approaching the end of the season, there are still apples on trees, ready to be plucked.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And, if you happen to be in Connecticut, I made a post on my favorite apple orchards that offer pick-your-own! You can head to the link in my bio for the list.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Are you a Red Delicious human? Machintosh? Empire? Gala? What's your FAVORITE type of apple?!⁠⠀

PRIME DAY IS UPON US ✨⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm the epitome of a procrastinator when it comes to gift shopping. You too?! 😂⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So instead of running around through shopping malls the night before Christmas Eve to find my brother's gifts (true story,) this year, I'm attempting to get a head start on holiday shopping. 🎄⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I rounded up some of my staple favorites and products I plan on getting as gifts this year for my friends and family. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
From travel essentials and clothes to electronics, maybe something will spark an idea for your holiday shopping!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You can find all of my favorites in my Stories, on my blog, and linked on my LTK (links in bio)⁠ http://liketk.it/2YFGU #liketkit @liketoknow.it
⁠⠀
ALSO, I'm horrible with returns, and that can be a problem purchasing this far out from the gift-giving times of the year.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
HOWEVER, I discovered this morning that Amazon has extended their return policy for the 2020 Holiday season - most purchases shipped between Oct. 2nd and Dec. 31st can be returned as late as Jan. 31st 2021.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What do you plan on buying? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀

The last day of July is the best day of July! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Why?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Because it's my birthday 🥳⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For my 25th, here are 5 fun facts about me:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
1. When I'm not running my blog @thepurposelylost, I'm a New York City actor and tour guide 🗽 ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2. Bookworm here! Pride and Prejudice is my favorite classic.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
3. I'm working on gathering documents for jure sanguinis Italian citizenship! It's a lot of digging, but very rewarding to reflect on my heritage.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
4. My mother is my go-to travel buddy.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
5. Chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite combination 🍫🥜⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It's been quite the year! This time last year, I still had a month more of exploring Croatia and Eastern Europe, and then we all experienced a shift, one way or another.

Honestly, I have no idea what the next year looks like, but I can't wait to find out!⁠⠀

DO YOU SEE WHAT'S BEHIND ME OVER THERE?!⁠
⁠
New York City. The home I haven't seen in almost 4 months.🗽⁠
⁠
BUT THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE! In 2 days, I'm heading back! It's a bittersweet reunion because I'm moving out of my first big-girl apartment. But, I'll be spending a week in my home, packing, and saying goodbye for now to my neighborhood.⁠
⁠
I plan to be extra cautious going anywhere and doing anything outside of my apartment while I'm there. And I don't know how much of the city I will be safe to explore. ⁠
⁠
But I wanted to ask you–what do you want to see? I'll be sharing as much as I can on Stories, so keep a lookout and let me know!⁠

HOW TO SEE THEATRE ONLINE:⁠
⁠
Yesterday, the Broadway League announced that all Broadway shows will stay closed until at least Jan. 3, 2021.⁠
⁠
Story time: I moved to NYC fresh out of college with my BFA in Theatre Performance. Becoming an NYC tour guide and LOVING IT was a happy accident. Since I saw my first Broadway show in 2011, I've had the joy and thrill of seeing a Broadway production every year. Except, now for 2020.⁠
⁠
However, there are still plenty of ways to see world-class performances from home:⁠
⁠
✨The Great Performances series on PBS shows full productions of plays, musicals, operas, and concerts⁠
✨Netflix has its own library of recorded Broadway musicals and plays⁠
✨Prime Video has some great recorded Shakespeare plays to stream with your subscription⁠
✨BroadwayHD is an entire streaming service dedicated to the best, professionally recorded, theatre productions. You can subscribe through its website or add it to your Prime Video⁠
✨Disney+ is where you can find Newsies and Hamilton (coming July 3rd)⁠
✨If you want to find individual song performances or full productions, search on YouTube to see what user-generated content is up. While you might find illegal recordings of shows (called bootlegs) you'll also find full, legal pro-shot recordings as well!⁠
✨Shakespeare's Globe Theater has a selection of their recorded performances available to watch on their website for free⁠
✨The Metropolitan Opera is showing a different production from its catalog each day on its website⁠
⁠
What will you be watching?!⁠
