Currently trying to prepare for my Paris trip and mentally planned out at least one cute pool day before leaving… only to open the weather app and see clouds and rain every single day this week ☁️ Like what happened to the sunshine? What happened to MY summer montage?

Honestly, if we’re all going to be hiding indoors anyway, you might as well do it somewhere cute. Junkyard Cat is taking over Coco’s Donuts & Coffee Bar this Friday for an intimate acoustic set paired with a cat-themed popup vinyl shop, specialty drinks, and cozy coffee shop vibes 🐱☕ Plus, proceeds benefit Lear’s Legacy Cat Rescue. Enter to win tickets!
