[Ad- gifted product] This might be one of those posts that feels a lot like TMI, but at the same time, I feel so much of women’s lives are stigmatized and shushed away, so here I am. Personally, I have been on injection birth control since long before COVID, with a breif break during lockdown, before returning to the medication. The depo vera injection actually stops your period completely, so it’s one less thing you need to think about and deal with, and it takes a while for your body to go back to developing the hormones you had before, which didn’t happen during lockdown for me.

Climbing Fort Lovrijenac in Dubrovnik
While visiting the Old Town in Dubrovnik, we saw so many people climbing along the wall of the Old Town itself. This wall looked really crowded to us, and in the sun we didn’t want to actually hike up that many stairs. So, within eyeshot of the area, we decided to go up to Fort Lovrijenac, which is far less crowded, has less stairs, and still has fantastic views of both the ocean and the Old Town. This was a really fantastic decision for us, though if the weather was a little less hot, we might have ended up doing both as you can get a combination ticket to explore both the wall around the Old Town and this historical fort.



Brunch at The Master Barista
Dann and I were looking to get a good, filling brunch within our town, so ended up at The Master Barista. We walk by this place often, seeing people eating outside. It’s attached to a jeweler shop, owned by the same people, which plays on the same designs as them. They have tons of seating in side and out, with an upstairs and downstairs, right by the bar counter. There are real Instagram vibes; interesting murals, flowers hanging from the ceiling, and neon lights! But, let’s get into the food.
