-I'm so sorry 2013 was so rough for you. But you're right that major shifts can propel you (or we should at least be open to new directions). I remember vividly graduating at the start of the last recession and in the back of my mind, I've been fearing that feeling again (even though everything worked out fine for me last time). And my anxiety that had been building for months finally subsided in early march, yet here we are in these uncertain times (ha!) and I'm getting to be in a slight state of peace with the chaos.
- I'm only a few years into my 30s too and I definitely love them. And often forget my age too :)
- Love everything Aether and she is a rock star! I love the rose quartz palette and i'm trying to get used to the boldness of amethyst. I don't think i'm cool enough for joshua tree yet :). I'm so excited about their updated affiliate program :) I've been updating my blog more lately and fixing up youtube and my affiliate partnerships is next :)
- My husband LOVES DEVS but its a bit too intense for me right now
- I love newsletters! and the substack thing is way cool! I'm sharing it with one of my besties who writes one
- I'm getting deeper into music lately in quarantine. I'm loving the Strokes' new album
Have a great week! xoxo the other, not-as-cool Maggie (@mindfulglowguide)
So happy you're returning to a state of peace in these uncertain times! And I'm glad that I'm not the only one who forgets my age, haha!
I couldn't agree more. Tiila is a rock star! I had my eye on amethyst because I love purples, but I felt I got what I needed in the purple realm from Crystal Grid (and now Joshua Tree). It's great to hear you've been updating your blog and youtube more!
And I get it! At its core, Devs is an intense series.
Thanks so much for sharing this newsletter with your friend too! I love substack!
Music is a must these days! Thanks again for reading, and hope you're having a great week also, Maggie!
Maggie, I really savored reading your newsletter today. Thoroughly.
Your reflection on being in your 30s really made me look at my whole timeline. I'm at the end of my 20-s and for almost my whole life, I've always been scared of not having enough experiences before I hit my 30s. When you said, "And I was ready to live my life the way I always said I would instead of just dreaming it", that gave me a gentle nudge. There's always this thought at the back of my head (and maybe others too), "what does life look like when I hit 17? 25? 30? 40?" It makes me shudder but as I get older, time feels like it's moving faster which made me want to do even more.
I loved reading your critical review of Dev and the comparison between Dev and Her. My facial expression literally went :o when you spot the colors of shirts Theodore wears relates to his relationship with Samantha. I've always enjoyed some of Alex Garland movies (28 Days Later and Sunshine were my first movies of his, I loved Ex Machina and Never Let Me Go). Anywho, watching Dev is on my list. Thank you for the heads-up that this series is slower than Westworld. I will mentally prepare myself.
I hope you have had a nice day today (congrats on the first newsletter!) and I hope tomorrow is a pleasant day for you too. I'm sending my well wishes, always. ~ what kind of cake do you like? :)
Thanks so much, Asti. I’m happy this could deliver a gentle nudge. I can also relate to wanting to do more when time feels like it's moving fast or wanting enough life experiences!
Yes, watch ’Devs’ and let me know what you think! I'm happy I could lend an alternative perspective of ’Her’ too; always loved all the visual nuances in that film. I also enjoyed Garland’s writing in ’28 Days Later’ and ’Sunshine.’ You should watch ’Annihilation’ if you haven't yet! One of my favorites I watched last year (though it released in 2018).
Today was a nice relaxing day and I got to FaceTime with my mom! Thanks again for signing up and reading this first newsletter.
When it comes to cake, there's never been one I didn't like! Classic chocolate cake is always a favorite. Black forest cake! Carrot cake, red velvet cake. They're all great! What about you?
Happy early birthday Maggie! I’ve heard others say that that feel more comfortable with themselves once they hit their 30s, and I’m hoping it’ll be the same for me! I still feel like things are more tumultuous, and that I remain in the process of finding what it is I’d like to be doing. It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve reached a point of feeling calmly grounded!
Anyway, I wanted to drop in and let you know that I really enjoyed your newsletter, and I’m looking forward to more! I love all your insights about life, entertainment, products, everything!☺️💕

Thanks so much, Melanie! I'm so thankful to be where I am now. Wishing you love and strength to conquer your 20s so you can enjoy your 30s too!
And it means so much to me that you enjoyed this first one. Excited to share more!
