Welcome to April! And Friday! I hope you've got amazing plans for the weekend, but first, take a look at a few things we loved this week.
FRIDAY FAVES - 4.1.22
- As a child of the 90s, I love seeing the resurgence of chunky hair clips, claws, and whimsical hair accessories. How cute are these puppy-shaped clips?!
- If you're smitten with Starbucks' new iced drink, the Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, try this copycat version at home! If you're lazy like me, skip making the vanilla syrup and instead do this: add a splash of vanilla extract, a teaspoon of malt powder, and an ounce of simple syrup to the hot espresso before shaking it with ice. YUM.
- Oof, eggplant parmesan sounds GOOD right now. Devour it with this Lagrein.

- Hey, Justin Beaver!
- Wines aged under water? It's a thing!

FRIDAY FAVES - 3.18.22
- A pasta-themed tarot deck? I could get into that...
- I love this Instagram account that chronicles one woman's ritual of taking a long, daily walk. It's lovely. Oh, and she has amaaaazing long white hair!

FRIDAY FAVES - 3.11.22
