Bonus Track: Virgo Vibes
~ Its Virgo Szn Babes~ ♍️
I hate how much I love astrology. I’m annoyed with myself for being THAT GIRL who asks people their sign within five minutes of meeting. It's frustrating how much calmer I feel when in the presence of other earth signs.
That being said….. Fuck it, it’s VIRGO SEASON. The best season of the year. The time to engage in curiosity and communication. (The Cut has a great Guide to Virgo Season here.) I had so much more to share that I couldn’t fit in this month’s vibe check, so you get a full bonus track: More mood boards and recommendations for this special time of year.
