Sturgeon Moon 2026
Hiiii, from an already-started new school year! An intense vibe shift into “fall” while it’s still humid and sunny ☀️ When school starts anew, it’s easy for me think summer’s over, yet this blog is proof that life does not stop while I’m working! 🌻
Adventures
I love that there's art everywhere
And so are street markets
A lil' soul fest
Every time I do karaoke, I wonder why I don't go more often!
Reading
I finished I Deliver Parcels in Beijing!📦 Definitely worth a read for the insights from around the world. And that means I’ve completed the Read Harder Challenge 🎉
Other than that, my only notable read was The Jellyfish by Boum, a local artist. While not a memoir, it’s inspired by the author’s experiences with vision loss. It made me tear up! 🪼
With a couple buddy reads lined up, I’m hoping to read more in September. 🤞 Oh! And I comfort re-read two funny webtoons: Selfish Romance and The Crown Princess Scandal.
Watching
- Catching up on Taskmaster with Series 20 📋
- My first full watch of all the Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix matches (still ongoing into September) ⭐
- This excellent getting styled video recommended by a dear friend 👗 Very open to your fave youtubers!
- Hyperdrive, for the ridiculous drifting challenges 🚘
Playing
My newest daily word game obsession is Linxicon!!! It’s about linking words by meaning and it’s fun to see how others make the links.
I’ve also played through all the available Murdoku online cases - the physical book is on my wishlist!
Learning
This month, I made excellent progress on my quest to learn all the world capitals! 🗺️ Some of the ones that haven’t stuck well for reasons unknown to me:
- Uganda (Kampala)
- Mauritius (Port Louis)
- Palau (Ngerulmud)
- Slovakia (Bratislava) vs Slovenia (Ljubjana)
- Wales (Cardiff)
So next time you see me, feel free to quiz me! 🤓
Delights
- Hosting a cozy crafternoon tea 🫖 There’s no better way to recharge!
- Getting back into pole after 10 weeks off 🩰
- Yin yoga as a place for my nervous system to take a break 🧘♀️
- My little A7-sized journal 📔
- Watching Alex enjoy a new 65“ TV 📺
- Shiny new washi tape (from Japan), gifted by another dear friend 💝
Most of all, I appreciated spending quality time with friends 🥰
