My partner and I love finding ways to be more mindful about spending for some date days so here’s my favorites.
We go to a pretty/scenic park with good vibes. Bring your water bottle, a book y’all are currently reading, and a blanket. Then parallel read. We end up taking breaks to talk about our book, our thoughts, theories, maybe what we’d do in that situation, and so on!
Watching a movie at home that’s already streaming. We dim the lights and grab a snack and/or a fun bev and a fuzzy blanket. Never gets old. At the end we discuss out letterbox rating of course.
Last one is kind of dependent of where you live, but where we reside, there’s a free communal ping pong table, so we bought cheap paddles and ping pong balls last year (still in great condition btw) and we love getting a little competitive, moving around, and enjoying the sun.

I love going on dates where we bring snacks and a bottle of wine somewhere outside and read while we swing in a hammock or lay out in the sun after a nice hike or drive.

focused solitude. parallel play. losing yourself in curiosity or pure fantasy. being cozy wherever u are (even a park bench). that post-book glow that everything has.

Something fairly easy, but super delicious and rewarding to eat. (Cutting into fun shapes is necessary)
I used 3 cups water, 2 1/2 cups of vinegar, 2 tsp of salt, and 2 tsp of sugar for the brine. (I like mine a bit on the sweeter side, but I’ve heard sugar is optional)
The fun part is the customization of what veggies you want in there. My choice was cucumber, radish, daikon, red onion, and carrot.
The final touches to help with flavoring were garlic, pepper corn, dill, and Thai chilis. (highly recommend the chilis if you like a lil spice) I wonder what combo I‘ll try next.

This movie made me cry so much when I watched it the first time. It reminded me that I’m human!

They are literally sooo funny. I listen/watch them while I’m washing the dishes, folding laundry, or working out, and I swear it makes doing chores 10x better and goes by faster. They are hilarious while still being relatable and respectful <3
