We’ve made it through another week. That feels more celebratory than it used to, doesn’t it? The days all seem to blur together and I for one am actually finding weekends a bit harder as I attempt to not do work but then am less busy and therefore a bit more down. It’s a hard balance. But weekend rituals like cocktail hour and brunch make it seem a bit more normal I guess?
I hope you feel a sense of victory at accomplishing another week – sending you all virtual hugs. And in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this week’s roundup and enjoy your weekend!
WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:
- Worked on honing in on my cocktail making skills by attempting the perfect old fashioned with this recipe.
- Filmed another IGTV! This time I did an easy, every day makeup look featuring only clean cosmetics. The products I used can be found linked here.
- Donated to Feeding America to help families in need right now. $1=$10 meals! I hope you’ll join me in donating if you’re able to.
- Finished this delightful book. If you’re a fan of romantic comedies you will no doubt enjoy it.
- Smile and laughed throughout this darling video by John Krasinski.
