I drew this after a class on self-love, which I always thought was kinda hokey, but turns out is actually legit healthy. Loveonaut Amanda hopes all of your love tanks are full, even when you feel lost in space!
Insider secret
Pro tip: You want the best coffee in this hood? Skip the coffee shops, the bakeries, the bodegas...it's hiding at the cookie store! Total undercover yumminess.
Life's important questions
When I started this I was really unsure if a pear could actually wear a tutu without looking stupid, but I nonetheless threw caution to the wind and forged bravely ahead. And, lo and behold, I am pleased to invite you all to my cutie fruity ballet!
New School Year
Here's hoping this can be the start of a great year, even for those of us who don't have little nuggets trotting off to school!
Snail life is the life for me
Snails have this whole thing figured out, you guys. Who would not want to bop around attached to a portable (and adorable!) antisocial nap hut?
Carb Loading
The bakery didn't have the strawberry cream cheese I ordered for my bagel so they took pity on my grave carb misfortune and gave me the bagel AND a donut AND a muffin for free!!
In shape...potato shape!
So proud of those of you triumphantly posting about your runs, hikes, workouts, etc, but if anyone else wants to join me over here in the couch potato club, membership is free and you're always welcome!
ZZZ...
Happy labor day, friends! I know that some of us deeply need less labor and some of us are desperate for more, but I hope that today is restful in some way for everyone. 
So cute
Guys, there is a really, REALLY cute giant stuffed candy corn at the corner drugstore and so far I have resisted, but I can't make any promises.
Still Standing
My neighborhood has worked so hard to stay afloat these past few months, and I am so proud of both its resiliency and adorableness.
Mask Up
With peanut butter!
My friends made me chocolate chip pancakes!! (Which I didn't actually eat with my hands, but cartoon Amanda does what she wants.)
Still friends!
There are many friends I haven't gotten to see in forever because of COVID, but fortunately they still give me their love over the internet. 🥰
Sidewalk chalk!
Discovered that my mom still had the sidewalk chalk from when I was a little Amanda, so behold, yesterday's driveway masterpiece.
Toasty!
I love a good bonfire (yum, burnt marshmallows!), so when I came to visit, my brother built me one!
My hero
My light-up rainbow bubble tea keychain broke, but my dad saved the day and fixed it for me! ❤️
Bush Crush
There is a bush of one of my favorite flowers in the park near my house and it has sooooo many pretty colors right now!
Rawr
I got this radioactive-looking pink drink called the "dragon drink," and it was awesome but I had to supply the dragon myself.
Just passing through
Almost never on 5th when I'm not visiting dentist-in-the-fancy-building, but occasionally I do bop on through en route to other (less comically glamorous) buildings...
FREE AT LAST
Today I FINALLY took the time to find and disable the mac setting that autocorrected "lol" to "LOL" and I have just resolved one of the biggest pet peeves of my existence.
180
This is super close to the spot where my my last photo was in midtown, but looking uptown instead of downtown!
So much potential
Recently discovered that cartoon sloths have a LOT of potential for cuteness and thus set out to make the ideal amanda version.
So pleased.
My ice cubes kept evaporating from the tray, so I got an ice GLOBE tray. Now my conundrum is resolved AND my ice is a million times cuter!!
We make do
Not long now until we're allowed to consume our edibles indoors! I do think all the makeshift outdoor cafes are adorable though.
Dashing
Admittedly, I have always had a bit of a crush on this little stretch of 6th ave; I think it's so handsome.
So Sweet
My friend's sweet parents (who live on the other side of the country) wanted to say, "hi!" so they made me a card by hand and mailed it. 🥰
A girl could get used to this
I've never been fond of riding these Lexington Ave lines because of how crazy bananas crowded they always are, so their present condition is awfully delightful.
Awwwww
My friend's 8 year-old got ahold of her phone while I happened to be texting her a photo and he sent me this sweet response. ❤️🥰💕
True love
Thanks to a little paint—real life paint, not digital—washer is a girl, and dryer is a boy! (And they are a couple. ❤️)
