Weekend Reading, 7.12.25 – The Stripe


how incredible is the pool at our Provence Bastide!? Take me back.

Happy weekend! Gosh, as much as I did love getting off the grid for a week, I did miss curating this list. I really love putting it together! I’m back from France. It was wonderful. I’ll be posting all about the trip next week on Substack. The jet lag has me dead tired by 5pm, and then up super early. I’ve been taking things super slow, easing back into both work and socializing. I saw my parents on Thursday, but have been otherwise keeping to myself and resting a lot. This weekend, I plan to stay close to home. Pool time, reading, getting caught up on work and life admin. Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s wonderful.
