Culture to Consume

Listen to this: Kamasi Washington 

If you were at Rock the Garden last weekend, you know the power of Kamasi Washington’s music. A soulful blend of jazz and R&B makes his sound perfect to listen to while reading a book on your morning commute or while cooking dinner. 

Watch this: “Queer Eye season 2”

In honor of pride month, “Queer Eye” released its second season on Friday. The Fab Five take on a whole new roster of clients with the same laughs and tears as last season. It’s pretty major. 

Do this: Put on sunscreen

Whether you’re spending the weekend walking around Loring Park, hammocking by the Stone Arch Bridge or enjoying brunch on a patio — lotion up. Summer is in full swing and we know you’d rather be lightly bronzed than cherry red.
