Max's Most Loved June

Back from my cross-country road trip and ready to indulge

Fourteen hours in a truck from Illinois to Pennsylvania. I survived, but forgive me if I’m still a little loopy! Here’s what is has made my June so sweet (so far!):

♥️ Ok, lets get the obvious out of the way: FINALLY getting the remainder of my things out of my storage unit and being fully moved in to Philly! It feels especially amazing to have my full wardrobe and be able to style myself the way that feels most me.

♥️ Olipops. Particularly the Strawberry Vanilla, I’m addicted. If you show up to a date with me with a few cans, you can see me make heart eyes at you in real time.

♥️ The Germantown area of Philly. Its actually incredibly inconvenient for me to get to, but I love the architecture and how lushly green it is. Lately, I’ve been commuting out of my way just to get in a quiet Sunday morning run just because the scenery and vibe is so great.

♥️ Getting back into content creation. I mentioned last LoveNote how I’m ready to get back into photography again and now that I have my full art studio, I’ve been insatiable and flooded with inspiration. I can’t wait to show you…

♥️ BRAT by Charli xcx. Its not my usual taste, but as an American Apparel-wearing elder hipster who spent her formative years partying in NYC during the “Indie Sleaze” era, this album speaks to me. I feel like when people said we’d get our post-pandemic “Roaring Twenties”, this is the album that brings that moment about.

♥️ Brazilian Limeade. This is my official Summer 2024 Cocktail, I’m calling it now. It contains an entire lime, peel and all, and is blended with rum and condensed milk. Its bitter, tangy, creamy, and sweet. It sounds like it shouldn’t exist, but my god, I’m obsessed.

♥️ Having a career where I can have full control over my schedule and prioritize my personal life when I need to without it effecting my income or comfort. I know that is very rare these days and I never forget how very lucky I am.

Thanks for always keeping me lucky.
