Out of This World or Is It the South of France?

It's 420, and we'd rather be ending summer the right way, by relaxing in the South of France from inside the out-of-this-world Maison Unal. Designed in 1972 by Joël Unal & Claude Haüsermann-Costy.

Mornings are starting to feel a little cooler, and you can almost sense that fall is right around the corner. It's that sweet spot when you can still feel the summer sun, but there's also a hint of cooler days ahead, nudging us to slow down and savor the moment. Perhaps that means relishing in the simple joy of making miniature spaghetti and meatballs, or embracing the Japanese concept of Mottainai to stretch your grocery budget a little further. Or maybe, it’s just about listening to a CPR-friendly queer anthem that could end up being a real lifesaver.

Whatever it looks like for you, taking a moment to do absolutely nothing has never felt more necessary post brat summer. As the seasons shift, let’s lean into the change with open arms and open minds—who knows what kind of magic is waiting just around the corner?

So, without further ado, we have our weekly inspiration for you to spark your afternoon daydreams. 🌿✨

Practicing Mottainai & Lowering Grocery Bills

This Japanese concept is all about appreciating what you have, reducing waste, and making the most out of everything. It's a mindset that helps you save money, declutter your space, and live more intentionally. Whether it’s repurposing leftovers or rethinking your shopping habits, Mottainai encourages a shift towards mindfulness that feels refreshingly simple and just might transform your daily routine.

Tiny Plate, Big Flavor

Want to whip up a classic dish but in the tiniest, most adorable way possible? This video is all about making miniature spaghetti and meatballs—like, really tiny, but also really cute. It’s the kind of thing you didn’t know you needed in your life until you see it. Perfect for those moments when you just want to zone out and watch something oddly satisfying, or maybe get inspired to try a mini cooking project of your own.

Life Saving Beats

Imagine jamming out to Charli XCX or Chappell Roan while learning that these tracks are also perfect for keeping the beat during CPR. It's wild to think that your favorite playlist might just be a lifesaver in more ways than one.
