Amazon Ick + a Full Tumbling Workout (VIDEO)

I reordered 2 of my skincare staples from Amazon:

👉 Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Calming Toner , and

👉 Physicians Formula Coconut Milk Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover

As many of us who live in a major city with so many household items just a click away, orders like this are quick and brainless.

They were purchased at 11:30am and my doorbell rang of their arrival before 4:30pm.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

And as miraculous as that feat of modern technology is, I feel icky telling you guys about it.

I don’t want to contribute to further wealth creation for Jeff Bezos and his board of unimaginably loaded c level executives who famously underpay and overwork their lower level employees.

But like I also want access to products like these two I ordered who aren’t sold in local stores near me.

I don’t want to be a pawn in the late stage capitalist machine, but I also love convenience and speed.

That said, I realize there’s no way to completely reject or separate myself from furthering the wealth gap in America unless I want to go live off grid and hunt for my own food and shit lol

It’s silly to give myself grief over something so commonplace but here we are!

And now that I’m typing this, I’m realizing how much Amazon has done for me in terms of their Kindle store and how I get to devour hours education and ideas every day through that platform.

okay that’s all I gotta stop.

I’m gonna move on bc I could go in mental circles with this FOR DAYZZZZ

Here’s my Monday night tumbling workout!

I’m going to list out each skill and then show you a video of all the things 🤸🏼‍♀️

After bouncing around on trampolines for 30 minutes, this is the itemized tumbling sesh:

• 1 pass of alternating cartwheels
• 1 pass of front handspring step outs
• 1 front handspring front tuck
• 2 front handspring front pikes
• 1 round off rebound
• 1 round off back tuck
• 1 front tuck step out, round off back tuck
• 3 front tuck step out, round off tuck fulls

Here let’s watch it all!!

Lastly, some links with love:

❤️ I deeply felt this article on group chats and how heavy they can be.

❤️ The way these college kids are creating careers via NIL is so fascinating to me. Can’t wait to see how it all plays out over the next decade.

❤️ As a person who knows they’ll call at least 5 to 10 more states or countries “home” in their lifetime, I enjoyed reading this piece on the future of cities.

❤️ The best sports media brand I didn’t know I needed is The Gist. It covers all genders of teams and athletes and events, but it’s women-led and intentionally inclusive and warm and smart and witty and lovely.

Thanks for hanging out!

Talk soon :)
