Soft life? More like chaos with whimsy—unpack your Target bags, join our Discord book club 📚, and thank our sponsors for funding this mess ✨☕👑.

Welcome back to Living Understaffed, where Sarah and Erika are once again oversharing the chaos you cannot clock out of. This week, we’re diving into the elusive “soft life” 💅—you know, the one Instagram influencers pretend is just candles and cashmere, but in reality looks more like:

• three full Target bags you still haven’t unpacked 🛍️
• Daisy refusing to poop unless the vibes are ✨immaculate✨ 🐕
• and, oh yeah, Erika throwing up in Graygg's car (love that for her, not at all genuine). 🚗💀

We’re talking about meal prep, why crying is basically a national emergency 🚨😭, and the art of adding more whimsy to everyday life—like naming your plants Dolores and Beverly, or giving bugs entire backstories. (Sorry, Frank the beetle, your divorce sounds rough. 🪲💔)

Also featuring: being bullied by capitalism, the guilt of rest, and our ongoing battle to remember that self-care counts even if you don’t post it on Instagram.

💡 PSA: You deserve whimsy. Drink tea with the dishes still in the sink, tell the neighborhood dogs to stop yelling at you, or buy the damn fancy bread—your soft life doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

📚 BOOK CLUB ALERT: Join our Discord. Seriously. It’s the best decision you’ll make all year (and we don’t say that lightly because we make terrible decisions). This month we’re reading Rider’s Blood, Moonlit Black by Myka Silber—forest, mountains, ocean, mystery, and a cat with better boundaries than we’ll ever have. 🌙🐈‍⬛

✨ Sponsors:

• From Moments to FOREVER – because memories deserve better than your phone’s “storage full” notification. 📸
• Everyday Dose Mushroom Coffee ☕🍄 – fueling our chaos one adaptogen at a time.
• Primal Queen 👑 – skincare that makes us look like we slept (spoiler: we didn’t).
