Shifting my wardrobe from summer to fall is always a challenge.
Luckily, Quince offers timeless and high -quality items I adore, ensuring my wardrobe stays fresh and I don't blow my budget.
I picked up the cutest cropped cardigan that's 100 % organic cotton that I have been loving, and I throw it on anytime I get chilly.
The look is classic and chic, and it pairs great with pants and shorts.
I also got a cashmere turtleneck sweater that I cannot wait to wear on our first truly crisp day of fall.
It's so soft and luxurious, and the price and quality were incredible compared with bigger retailers.
It turns out all Quince items are priced 50 -80 % less than similar brands.
And Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes.
I love that. Make switching seasons a breeze with Quince's high -quality closet essentials.

Hi, my name is Samantha Edo and welcome to Radio Headspace, and I'm so happy to be here.
As you know, I'm a therapist here at Headspace.
I'll be here occasionally to talk about some things I think you might find helpful or interesting in the world of mindfulness and mental health.
I've been thinking about hobbies lately.
I love hobbies, and I really need them.
I garden, I do sewing embroidery, and reading.
When I don't pay attention to my hobbies, work becomes a hobby, and that is not always the best for my self -care goals.
So today, let's talk about hobbies as an adult, why you need them, what they can do for you, and how to find things you enjoy if you don't have one.
So over the last few years, I have definitely found myself having less hobbies.
What really did it for me was cleaning out the closet behind my office, which contains a lot of my hobby machines.
And so I went in to clean it and then took a look and realized that I had a cricket machine, two sewing machines, I had a sewing embroidery machine, patterns, like all of the things that would just really make a good hobby life, and realized I hadn't touched any of those things at least in two years,
and I missed them. So I decided to just reignite my hobby life, and I pulled them out.
I pulled out the sewing embroidery machine first.
I decided to make a graduation stole for my friend.
Because I have not taken the machine off the shelf in so long, I had to come with a beginner's mind and like be very patient with myself, show myself some self -compassion.
When I wanted to throw the machine out of the window, and my needle kept breaking, and it was like, oh my, I literally had to learn this all over again, something that I used to do so easily.
It took some patience, like the things that I was not, maybe not giving myself every day, like self -compassion and grace.
If I wanted to be able to gift this to my friend, I needed to go through it.
And so I just made myself a promise that regardless of how many times I messed up, I would just keep doing it, and that the end product did not have to be perfect.
And it wasn't perfect, but it was like perfect for me, perfect for her, and perfect for the situation.
I found when I reignited that fire by doing something outside of work, I showed up a little bit differently inside of work.
I could see it in my productivity.
I could see it in the way I took care of myself.
I could see it in the way that I actually held my boundaries with work.
It was a better me, and I would encourage anyone to create something for yourself outside of work that gives you meaning.
I wrote this affirmation down the other day, and it was, I deserve to fill my cup without guilt, shame, or judgment.
And you have to ask yourself, what is something I need to unlearn and give yourself permission to take time to fill your cup?
If you're looking to get into a new hobby, ask your friends.
If you have friends that have things that they really, really enjoy, ask them questions.
Be curious. What is it about that thing that makes you excited to go do it?
What do you get out of doing it?
Have you met some new people by doing it?
Having a new hobby, engaging in a hobby, is one of the best ways to just show yourself you deserve joy, you are enough, you are important.
And that's it for me today.
Thank you so much for listening.
I will see you all back here really soon.
