Because Harrison Ford mentioned all 3 of these dir Because Harrison Ford mentioned all 3 of these directors @actorawards last night, here is your next must-read: The Last Kings of Hollywood @celadonbooks 

📖🎭🎬

Old-school glamour, big egos, bigger dreams…it reads like a sun-drenched tale of dreams, demons, and triumph. Think power lunches, backlot secrets, and the dawn of a new Hollywood. 

It’s juicy but smart, nostalgic but sharp. A reminder that behind every glittering empire were very human stories. Absolutely loved it!

Hoppers is worth the hype 🦎🥔❤️ @Pixar did it agai Hoppers is worth the hype 🦎🥔❤️

@Pixar did it again with big heart, big laughs, and an all new wonder-filled story that makes you feel like a kid. If you’ve ever stared at your pet and thought, “what is going on in that little brain?”… this one’s for you!

Scientists discover how to “hop” human consciousness into robotic animals, opening the door to a wildly imaginative adventure that’s funny, tender, and surprisingly deep in that Pixar-only way. The movie goes beyond cute animals and is a great conversation starter for being respectful of nature. 

Our whole family loved it! We left the theater smiling, already picking our favorite characters and replaying our favorite moments. And now we’re extra excited for Pixar’s next release later this year because clearly…we’re all in.

PS: this is nothing like Avatar 💙😆🦫

You know that clay mask. The one you bought during You know that clay mask.
The one you bought during a “this is my self-care era” moment… and then put in the back of the drawer behind the half-used samples?

Go get it.
Not for perfect skin.
Not because you “earned it.”

But because you are a whole person outside of snack requests and school drop-off lines.

This is your reminder that self-care doesn’t have to be a full spa day.
It can be 7 quiet minutes.
It can be using up the samples.
It can be locking the bathroom door and breathing.

Take the time.
Your nervous system will thank you. 🤍

Save this for the moment you forget you’re allowed to rest. 🎀 You don’t have to earn it.

Follow @casey_dacanay for more reminders that you’re still a whole person.
Share this with a mama who could use a soft moment today.

You didn’t land on that affirmation by accident. T You didn’t land on that affirmation by accident. The affirmation that pulled you in is the one your soul already knew you needed: 

6 - I am the love of my own life first — everything else flows from there. 💘

8 - I pour into myself so I can pour into my family from overflow, not exhaustion. 🌷

1 - I honor the person I’m becoming, not just the roles I fill. ✨

13 - I deserve rest, softness, and celebration — even if I’m the one planning it. 🥂

3 - Loving myself teaches my family what love should look like. 💗

7 - I set the standard for how I am treated — in partnership, in work, in life. 💎

9 - I choose joy, confidence, and bold self-trust — today and every day. 🔥

So, stop scrolling, read it again, and let it hit. Say it out loud. Own it. Let that affirmation flex on your week.
