Newsletter 9 (21/07)

Hello my friends & internet strangers maybe (?)
excited to report another great week in my awesome life where I do plenty of fun things and have an overall sweet time!

What I have enjoyed this week:

• KITTEN

  My parents adopted a cat!!! Her name is kimchi (my kdrama obsessed mom picked it) and she loves me wayyy more than them hihi she's been sleeping in my bed every night and always hangs out in the room when I'm sewing. She is SO small right now it's crazy... sorry for all the spamming I've been doing on instagram but also - not sorry at all i mean look at that face......................... mwah i love you kimchi



• Mixed media

  I bought some dry pastels recently and some acrylic markers and have been playing around with layering them with my usual gouache! I really love the texture of the pastels, I want to paint way more with them. I'm going to try and scan my paintings with my dad's scanner while I'm at their house and update this page later with pics of said paintings, but also maybe create a page for art stuff on this website!! That would be fun, I do need to figure out how to connect the scanner to my computer though. Sorry for this uninteresting paragraph if you're reading it while I still haven't updated with paintings :/. but also not sorry because none of those blog posts are that interesting anyways so what did you expect

• Alpro exotic skyr style vegan yoghurt

  this shit is DELICIOUS and has been my go to breakfast all week!!!! I just serve it with some chopped fruits on top and some chia pudding. Pro tip if you have frozen fruits (which I recommend you have it's the best) you should let them defreeze for like 15min then add them still a bit cold and crunchy it's delightful. It's a great brekkie, so refreshing and light but also filling it's perfect for summer. I tried other flavors but this one is my favorite, and if you know me then you know I fucking hate yoghurt with burning passion so the praise I have for this specific guy is a testament of how delicious it is. So fruit salad with yoghurt is now added to my list of breakfasts which includes: smoothies (I buy chopped frozen fruit & spinach and blend them with water - takes 5min top), oatmeal (I soak it in coffee and top it with vegan yoghurt mixed with almond extract) and tofu scramble on toast. If you have healthy-ish breakfast inspo i'll gladly take it, my requirements are 1) vegan 2) as little steps as possible :D



• cool girls commenting nice things under my tiktoks

  recently I have been trying to post some tiktoks with clothes I've made. They're all terribly low effort because tiktok is lowkey hard work??? sorry influencer for mocking yall. but I actually hate video editing it is so boring and I also never remember to film the interesting parts of sewing and it's hard to get an okay angle........ On a good note though!!! there are always the sweeeeetest people commenting nice things about my clothes under my videos and it is so touching and so nice and cute and I really really really love it so much. Also sometimes I stalk their profiles and some of them are super cool artists making their own stuff and it's always so flattering to get complimented by people who are super creative themselves!! anyhow my tiktok is @soupbreakfast if you wanna be moots!!!

yahoooooo thank u for reading this!!!!!
i will see you next week with potentially incredible news but also potentially very little news... who knows.......
Axl :)
