A PEEK AT WHAT'S COMING UP THIS MONTH AT RUNWAY CHEF HQ

Editor’s Note // And just like that, it’s already May. Lockdown or not, it feels like time just keeps on flying by! Anyone else feel that way? And anyone else really starting to settle into this new routine, which weirdly feels more and more normal by the day? Like I miss going out, I miss friends, I miss restaurants, I miss traveling, but as those things become distant memories that fade into the past, I can’t help but wonder if the longer this goes on, the more this becomes our normal, will it be almost a bit of a shock to the system to go back to the “old normal”? Will we even remember or recognize the old normal? Will we even want the old normal? Like we think we miss certain things, but, without even realizing it, will we have gotten so used to the new normal that we won’t want to go back to the old normal? Does any of this even make any sense to anyone else, or is it just me?

Anyways, enough of me and my rambling thoughts. Here’s to another month of life, whatever it looks like these days, and here’s to making the best of it, no matter what it throws at us.

Here’s what I’ve got planned for around here this month-

BLOG //

WEAR Sustainable loungewear, beauty tools I’ve invested invested in and love + some new clean beauty

EAT Homemade pasta, summery bevs + updating some old favorites {like one bowl banana bread} + sharing more recipe videos over on the ‘gram

DWELL Outdoor inspo + home things you don’t need to spend a ton of $$$ on

CELEBRATE Old school movies to stream for a classic movie night

WELLNESS At-home spa day

Every month we use Pinterest to help us design our monthly mood boards. These boards then act as our guide when it comes to shaping the direction and look of the content for the upcoming month. Peek our MAY BOARD to see what’s inspiring us this month.

LIFE //

This month’s big life project is “operation get the backyard together”. The general plans have been outlined, we have new chairs coming, we’ve selected stone, now we just have to actually put in the work {blah} and put it all together. Let’s be real, pulling up weeds isn’t making my “Little Joys” list anytime soon, but I’m V highly motivated by the reality that our backyard is probably the only outdoor space we’ll be seeing for the foreseeable future.

Outside of the yard, I’m working to bring some structure back to our lives this month, with routines, plans and actual outfits {What is that? Weird!}. Some of our hobbie items have finally showed up, such as paint and clay, so we’re planning to start putting those to use and maybe ween ourselves away from ending every single night with tv. And, while I have felt far from creatively inspired, and I don’t want to push myself too hard, I am still hoping to ease myself back into some sort of creative endeavors, some photography projects, some photography practice, more videos, etc, this month.
