This week was…a WEEK. After a crashed computer last Friday and a variety of other mercury in retrograde type issues I am very ready for the weekend! I’ve continued to have quite a bit going on behind the scenes that have head me head’s down and running around town. I’m hoping to come up for air a bit this weekend. 

I hope you enjoy this week’s roundup & have a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for being here & supporting my work!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• I updated my Amazon Shop! It’s now full of everything I’ve recently bought and liked.
• I was featured on the blog of my favorite French dry shampoo brand: Klorane! Read my “Dry Shampoo Diary“!
• Continued to work on and refine the site updates for wit & whimsy. Apologies if you’ve spotted any strange formatting of late – hope to have it all done very soon!
• Finalized our next virtual cooking class for Paris, Perfected Members – so excited for it!

READ + LOOK + LOVE:
