I wasn’t ready for the cold weather to leave, but now that the days are a little brighter, longer, and warm, I am so glad that the days of spring are starting to make their appearance. Over the years fall and spring have two of my favorite seasons. They each have their own distinct fragrance, add a splash of color to the world, and I feel like each are symbolic on a few levels, but mainly they represent just how warm, inviting, and beautiful changes in life can be. I know yellow is supposed to be the pantone color of the year, but I will always be a blue girl at heart, and there is plenty of blues out there this year, so get ready for an overload…

I honestly feel like I’ve had like three cups of sleepy time tea today and all I want to do is pull the classic I’m still in awe of the Queen’s Gambit; it is one of the few books to movies/TV series that I actually think is better than the actual book. Seriously doesn’t look a day older since she played the leading role in gone girl like seven year ago. Her newest movie, Yes Day, is more geared towards a younger audience or a good option for family movie night, but with everything that’s gone on this past year sometimes it’s fun to watch a happy go-lucky escape movie, and this one definitely hits that mark.

I have conflicting feelings about {such a small thing, I know} 1) are we really in our third month of 2021 and 2) As humans, we may not have always enjoyed the limits the pandemic placed on our lives, but our dogs have without a doubt very much enjoyed the season of Covid, and this video is so spot on. I usually thing of stuffed peppers as being a little on the heavy side, but these are super light and healthy, plus, it’s a very easy recipe I just discovered the Pomander Place brand last year, and I absoutly love everything I have purchased from them so far.

At the end of 2019/a decent portion of 2020 I was so wrapped up in this and that, then I could not believe a pandemic had descended upon the world, and I was honestly just really overwhelmed and let some self-maintenance fall to the wayside. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like some cotton pads have a scratchy texture to them and the makeup whips I have tried so far are too rough on my skin. I usually just use this in the morning, but sometimes if I feel a little extra grimey, I also use this at night just to feel extra refreshed … It quickly became my most favorite body cream; I love the silky texture the lotion has and it dries in reasonably fast
