I’m so glad you got some time to yourself and have a reset! I’d love a link to the TikTok you mentioned about Scandi sleeping. I’m not on TikTok (yet) because I’ve seen what I’m like with IG. I find myself turning to IG less and less (yay!) but I feel like I miss out on some good stuff. There’s definitely trade-offs, and I just need to figure out the right balance for me.
Kuleigh, I absolutely love getting your substacks in my inbox - Matthew and I have been living that Scandinavian life for a while now and I always thought we were weirdos 😄 Glad to not be alone in our thinking! Can't wait to hear what you think about Iron Flame 🔥
Thank you so much! I'm all for the two comforter situation so I'm glad it works for you two as well! I made it a little over 100 pages last night. Can't believe I started this book and now have to work and mom and do all the things in between! I'll report back.
Kuleigh, so nice to see your face pop up! It sounds like you had a lovely girls weekend. I'm with you on the social media feelings. I took a break from Instagram earlier this fall and just haven't really been back on, and it's been really nice. Like you, I know it's rather unrealistic to think I'd completely quit all social media but tempering my use has been helpful.
Also, would love to hear more about this Substack playlist challenge!
We had a really good weekend away. It showed me that anytime I feel like I need a break, I just need to step away. No explanations needed! Hannah is doing the playlist/mixtape exchange. It's too late for this year but keep an eye out for the future! https://hannahmoerman.substack.com/p/its-back-the-mix-cd-playlist-exchange
Kuleigh, so nice to meet you (with a picture too!) and thank you so much for including me in this wonderful post. I've been having so many conversations lately around social media and whether to break up with it or not. I'm looking forward to reading some more about it through your recommendations. It's been really nice to be off Instagram and right now I truly don't miss it at all and am happy to just spend my time here on Substack. I do have the occasional fomo but I much prefer that over feeling drained from it. Sending you love x
It's reassuring to hear you don't miss it. My IRL friends are probably tired of hearing me go back and forth about it. I just need to make a decision already!
So glad you got away to the cost for a little reset before the craziness of the holiday season! Definitely going to reassess my social media consumption and sharing in 2024 too.
Thanks for the love! Also an old school blogger here, it feels like we have to do *something* doesn't it? I'm enjoying Substack, it does remind me of the good old days!
I just discovered you today and really enjoy all of the content that you include in your newsletters. I've only been doing this for 3 months so doing a lot of exploring and research to nail down what I want my newsletter to be. I'm learning a lot but nowhere close to where I want it to go.

I understand that! I’ve been scrolling a lot less in general. I don’t even get on TikTok every day anymore but I do love watching funny videos.

Thank you so much for sharing my windy tale of disastrous IG behavior! Good on you for taking a breath and being present in such a beautiful place.
I truly needed the reminder to do it more often!

Holding us accountable.

Thank you! I'm in the same boat.
