Weekend Roundup: Quarantine Shaming, an Amazing Headboard, Rhubarb Crisp, & More!

July 10, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

You may have noticed that I’ve been even quieter than usual on social media and the blog, taking a month-long break from posting after the long-overdue outrage over the murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others. Posting shopping roundups and photos of my home felt too trivial, and while it still feels tone deaf to talk about anything other than the tipping point we’re facing, I do want to get back into some semblance of normalcy — but without falling victim to complacency.

When feeds went dark in honor of Blackout Tuesday, allowing Black voices to rise to the top, it was painstakingly obvious that I needed to diversify my feed. Viewpoints from people who didn’t look like me was refreshing and led to some introspection about why, exactly, my feed had been predominately whitewashed. It was never intentional, which is exactly why white people, myself included, need to do better. It’s easy to take the privilege of white skin for granted, but the systemic racism in this country will be impossible to overcome if we don’t earnestly begin to chip away at the barriers that BIPOC individuals face. Personally, I’d like to work at diversifying the content that I share in roundups like these so that we’re celebrating a wider range of voices, retailers, and content creators. Please let me know if there’s anyone I should have on my radar!

The dark side of Instagram’s favorite door.

Quarantine fatigue is real and shaming people won’t help.

I ordered this drink table with the walnut base. It’s backordered till October, which will be such a fun surprise when it arrives.

I recently came across Laurel Dailey’s photography. Her still-life work is moody and captivating. This is one of my favorite prints.

Simply putting more women in leadership roles at organizations doesn’t always mean that other women will be supported at those companies.

This bed! Swoon! (I’m seriously considering it. We bought a cheap bed frame a few years ago when we bought our king-size mattress. The headboard isn’t holding up well and replacing it has been on our eventual to-do list.)

How camping became this year’s hottest getaway. (While I’m not one for camping, we did book a long weekend in Door County, Wisconsin for later this summer. It sounds like they’re taking mask-wearing and social distancing seriously and our days will be spent hiking, swimming, and ordering takeout from local restaurants. The hotel we’re staying at has a mandatory 48-hour wait in between guests, which made me feel a lot better about booking this mini getaway.)

Love candles and supporting Black-owned businesses? Check out 228 Grant Street Candle Co. The ginger and kaffir lime candle sounds dreamy.

Fruit and berry crisps are my favorite summer dessert. I’ve used this recipe twice over the past few weeks and it’s perfection. I made it once with just rhubarb, which is tart and you may prefer a touch more sugar if you have a sweet tooth, and again with half rhubarb and half strawberries.

The best plant advice from Marcus Bridgewater, the man who became TikTok star Garden Marcus.

Finds under $50:

  • Such a cute top!
  • How great is this marble serving board? I love the green-and-white stripes.
  • I’ll be purchasing this tee in advance of our Lake Michigan adventure.
  • I just love this little planter. Plus, it ships free!
  • A floral dress with a neutral color palette.
  • This looks like the perfect summer blouse when you need to keep the sun off your skin. (And you wouldn’t need to wear it as an off-the-shoulder number.)

A few moments from the weekend. A few moments from the weekend.
A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

This renovation sure had its moments of frustratio This renovation sure had its moments of frustration, but I’m blissfully heading toward “renovation amnesia” as @em_henderson calls it in her new book. Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!
