SISTERHOOD BEFORE MISTERHOOD 🧙🏽♀️
Happy National Food Truck Day! Boredwalk co-founder Meredith and I celebrated by swinging by the Roots & Leaves food truck in Avon, North Carolina this morning for some coffee and delicious cinnamon rolls before hitting the road to start winding our way back to Los Angeles.
Today is also National OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) Day, which is timely since we have this sweet new A Woman's Place Is In A Coven design to share with you this week!
It's also National Meteor Watch Day, which is fitting given that today is the anniversary of the 1908 Tunguska Event! If you're of a certain vintage, you have one man to thank for teaching you about the Tunguska Blast:

Want some more amusement? Check out the newest episode of the Boredwalk podcast! Josh and Tess (or me and Meredith, depending on who you ask) present a food themed episode wherein they discuss Chicago and New York style pizza, a blowfish that when eaten can kill you if it's cut incorrectly, and ingredients that always ruin a dish (bananas and eggplant).
They also talk about their dumbest injuries and become the superhero duo Super Chill Man and Laid-Back Lady! Here to fight crime... if they feel like it.
They also answered a question or two from our Delve Deck. Listen on your favorite podcasting platform*or, even better, watch them on YouTube!
* But if you listen to your podcasts on Stitcher, maybe make alternate arrangements in the near future — they recently announced they are closing up shop in the coming weeks/months. Oh, well. There's always Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and your trusty old browser window!
