Lol

It's not hard.

They are literally silk ribbons (mine are either 3 or 4 m) about 3 in. wide attached to fiberglass wands.

To do gymnastics? That takes education.

To dance with ribbon wands like a middle-aged weirdo who never recognized her dreams of being a gymnast? That just takes a complete lack of ability...at being embarrassed! 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂

But actually, I like your style. 🤣 I can totally manage that very specific vibe you mention 🤣

Congratulations on reaching 100 Subscribers! Your train ride and NYC sounds such fun. I've often fantasied about doing a long train ride just for the sake of sitting in the train and reading/writing!

aww thank you!! And the train ride was SO nice! I'd love to do one through an actually scenic area one day (although this one did have lots of fields and bodies of water so, not bad) but it is SUCH a romantic notion I agree, and the ride honestly went by so fast being able to do that!!

You can buy gymnastic ribbon wands on Amazon. It's what I did while watching them back for Rio when they were first returned as an event!!!

Madeline Mills is the one who inspired me to read it too! 😂 Bunny is the PERFECT October read. I like that!! What are your beachy reads? Or will there be a post about them? I can always use a few more of those!

Thank you!!!! ☺️☺️☺️

I'm DYING to talk to you about it now that I'm done with Bunny! It's so divisive I'm curious your thoughts also because I know you loved it and I've been feverishly reading reviews online to see what people did and didn't like and it's so interesting how much overlap there is. People tend to either love or hate the same things but I also feel like the more I read ABOUT it the more things make sense.

Trains are such a romantic notion for me too! I'd love to take an actually scenic train ride one day, but this one was pretty nice for what it was and it went by SO fast being able to just read and write and sip tea. 🖤 The Amtrak trains run across the country but it's definitely one of the perks of being on the East Coast where all the states are super close is that you can get to one from the other pretty quickly and so, the train makes sense! I can't imagine not having it!

The Rom Com vs Women's Fiction thing is definitely on my mind, especially since I still don't really know what mine is 😆

And of course!!

That's a great way to put it—that it takes you by the hand with no explanation!! That might be the most concise way I've seen it put!
