A Day in the Life

This week, we'll be sharing a day in our life. We each picked a specific day in our past week to break down in EXTREME detail (including the dreams we had the night before). We talk about what we did when we woke up, the breakfasts we had, the candles we lit, the packages that arrived, what corners of TikTok we're in, and what we read!

After talking about our days, we cover how this day lines up with our normal days, what we've left out, and what we wish we did that day to make it "better."
