This week I was…on.edge. My anxiety has been bad and my overall feelings of doom have been building following this week’s current events and looking forward to next week’s. I hope you’re hanging in there. We can hang in there together! I’m distracting myself in major ways with work – and I’m grateful to be busy at the moment as it is proving the best way to get through each day not feeling like my nerves are fraying. This week’s roundup is a hefty one – I hope you enjoy it & have a wonderful weekend!
WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:
- Made this recipe which was a quarantine favorite and totally hit the spot on a cooler, rainy night this week.
- Updated my J.Crew sweater blazer review post! It now has more styling ideas and more detail.

- Stress ate A LOT of candy!
