Straw Headbands and Weekend Reads | 8-7

You know what I’m loving this week?  Straw headbands.  Why?  Because I don’t think I’ve blow dried, curled or straightened my hair in weeks, and it’s the only thing that keeps me feeling like a human!

We just brought in these adorable straw top-knot headbands, and the blue above is my absolute favorite.  And it’s under $20.

I know I can’t be the only one, but I’m starting to feel a bout of quarantine fatigue again.  Even though I’ve traveled during this time to help care for a sick loved one, I still feel very “stuck.”  The fun of virtual date nights, dinner parties and move nights is starting to dull with the summer passing us by.

So, we’re taking a bit of a lazy theme today.

This story is SUPER wild involving my alma mater USC and a Qatari prince.  Something enlightening from the article: “Qatar has given more than $1 billion to American universities, making it the largest foreign funder of U.S. higher education.”
