1. Prescription sunglasses: How did I live so long without them? I've been wearing glasses since middle school, but since I only wear contacts to the gym these days, I decided to spring for my first pair of sunglasses last month. Game changer, for real. Being able to pop them on/off when I go outside (you know, like a normal person) is amazing.

Wearing the Schaefer style from Classic Specs.
Don't worry, I parked before I took this.

2. Finding my people: I don't really mean in terms of friends (although making connections in that area is also awesome). Lately I've noticed that I really enjoy a lot of the people I pay for services. My hair stylist is awesome, my personal trainer cracks me up, and my therapist just, like, gets me. The comfort level/rapport we've established makes doing things I would normally view as a chore (like working out) way more appealing.
3. Sneakers: I've been on the hunt from some summer shoes. I need them to be comfortable (because old) but still cute enough to wear with dresses (cuz that's pretty much all I wear in the summer). I tried on about a million pairs and finally settled on the Chuck Taylor II -- similar in appearance to classic Chucks, but with more padding, etc. for us elderly folk. These were a close second.

4. S-Town: A new podcast from Serial and This American Life creatives. They released all seven episodes on March 28, and I listened to the whole thing that day. I thought it was going to be another true-crime podcast, and I was down for that, but it twisted in an unexpected and compelling way. It was beautifully done and way more interesting to me than another murder-mystery show.
5. 13 Reasons Why: Speaking of things I binged, THIS. I am a sucker for a good teen drama, and I loved that this one was a little more down-to-earth than, say, Pretty Little Liars (even though I watch that, too). Clay is adorable and everyone's parents are people you know from other shows you love. It's definitely dark/uncomfortable to watch at times, but I'm still thinking about it days later, so it's worth a look.
Linking up with April et al. for Five on Friday. Happy weekend, y'all!
