Current Favs, Wellness Go-To’s & The Pop Culture Of It All

Alexa, play The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift.

How are we doing? Did we survive the TTPD double album drop last week? Or are we still obsessing over all things T Swift? (This is literally my existence...) I wanted to deep dive into all my obsessions, from current favs (anything reality TV) to wellness trends and all things pop culture, from the Heinz Barbie-que Sauce to Billie Eilish adding her followers on her IG close friends. So, are you ready for a girlie pops chinwag?

My Current favs...

Podcast Ep: As an avid podcast listener, I could list 100 episodes for you to enjoy. But I loved this ep from Morning Rae talking about spending time alone & loving yourself. Enjoy.
TV Series: Ofc, it has to be Married At First Sight Australia, I have binged it all and I just love the experiment itself. Also, shout out to the Made In Chelsea, you will always have my heart.
Book: I am now on book 22 of the year (!!!) and I can't not mention the novel ''Expiration Dates'' by Rebecca Serle, who doesn't love a little romance novel?
Song/ Album: If I could I would dissect every synth and lyric on Taylor's new album, but my current favs are loml, The Black Dog and How Did it End? I also love Sabrina Carpenter's Expresso, thx to TikTok.
Food: I am obsessed with a protein-rich diet at the moment, I want those gains. Introducing...cottage cheese, add it to everything (eggs, mash potato, pasta sauce!) Thank me later.
Hobby: I currently have a love/ hate relationship with running as is a mix of being rewarding and well...bloody hard. But I do enjoy the feeling after (minus the blisters, aches, and exhaustion)
Product: Thanks to Cowboy Carter and this country resurgence, I am in love with my cowboy boots from ASOS. V versatile, V fun, V obsessed!!!

Wellness Go-To's...

Right, I know, wellness is a bit of a buzzword, it is so very 2024. But I just wanted to share a couple of easy ways to boost ya mood and your well-being.

Ice Rolling. Ice Rollers offer many benefits, from relieving redness and heat, reducing puffiness and stimulating microcirculation resulting in fresh & bright skin. I got mine from The Skinny Confidential and as an ambassador (yes, pinch me!) I have a code "TSCPARTNER' for 15% off!
Going for Brunch. Let me explain, building and maintaining supportive relationships with friends and family fosters a sense of belonging and emotional well-being. And I mean who doesn't love a cheeky avo on toast and a coconut vanilla matcha...
Bath Time. Me & bubble baths are the greatest love story. Having a good ol' bath promotes utter relaxation and rejuvenates the body & mind. Light a candle, use bath salts, grab ya book and whack on Taylor, heaven. You can use my code 'THELIFEOFMOLLY99' over at The Sun & My Soul for bath goodies.

Lastly, Pop Culture...

Let's start with Coachella, also known as the ''Influencer Olympics'' (IYKYK). I have to firstly, mention the brand/ marketing side of it all, I loved the content created by the Poppi House, aka Alix Earles House. And of course, I loved the Rhode photo booth, very fun idea. Ain't they smashing their marketing at the mo?

Another major highlight was the Lana X Billie collab serenading the crowd with Video Games (13-year-old me lived for that song!) I was highly entertained, and a little scared of Doja Cat's performance, but god she knows how to rock a crowd.

Now, I don't mean to make this blog post a love letter to Taylor Swift, but you can't talk about pop culture without mentioning her name, from breaking records with her recent album, (did I mention I was a Swiftie?), to her unique marketing tactic of collaborating with Instagram, a Spotify pop-up event, and of course, heading to Coachella with Travis Kelce where she enjoyed her song Karma in the Coachella crowd.

And let's not forget the Spice Girls reunion last weekend, iconic! I have to lastly mention, that I have recently fallen in love with TikTok at the moment from the Trad Wife trend to whatever the F this trend is, it is fun over there.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! Catch ya in the next blog post, until then keep up with The Life of Molly every day and check out my IG here!

Love Molly! xoxo
