This Open Letter to My Friends Who Take Selfies  is so sweet. No judgement, just love. It makes me want to take a selfie, and I very seldom do!

How to Say No, When to Say Yes, and how to Know the Difference.

Why everyone needs a life coach.

Remember this interesting book? The author wrote an article recently about how our ideas about buying local only helps the one person you are buying from, and the larger company that own the selling platform (ahem, Etsy). An interesting read!

Now, for the pins!

I will confess, I totally adore Pillsbury crescent rolls, even though if you read the ingredients, they  don’t even remotely resemble food. But hey, I can say the same thing for all sorts of junk food, so there you have it. This amazing treat involves wrapping up apple slices, chopped, pecans, a bit of brown sugar and spice. And I’m pretty sure that by putting fruit in this, it’s not only freaking delicious, it’s got some nutrients. At least, that’s what I’ll be telling myself.  Pinterest link is here, the original post is here.

These apricot glazed chicken thighs with basil are utterly amazing. sweet, tangy, Asian-inspired, I love them. But I’m a big fan of fruit and meat as a combo, which I know isn’t for everyone. but if you like glazed meats of any kind, give this a try! Pinterest link is here, the original post is here.

I’m in love with this marbled ribbon (and gift tag) DIY, that turns white ribbon into this stunning, swirling loveliness with a bit of nail polish. Man, five years ago, who knew nail polish DIYs would get so huge? They seem to work on everything! Pinterest link is here, the original post (with swoon-worthy photos) is here.

This bedroom looks so ideal to me- I love the light fixture, the simple palette, and the big, dramatic-yet-simple word art on the wall. But then I imagine everything looks amazing in a huge loft with wooden floor and twenty feet high ceilings. Pinterest link is here, and loads of beautiful bedroom ideas are in the original post, here.

I’m not one for cooking and hosting dinner parties (I get all panicky at the idea of having people over for dinner, I don’t know why- suddenly I feel like my place is too small and nothing I cook is delicious enough to serve to anyone I’m not related to), but I do love this easy bruschetta idea- it’s not even cooking! Guests can build their own perfect bruschetta with an array of toppings, and you jus thave to toast some fancy bread. Done, and done. Pinterest link is here, the original post is here.

This weekend I’m on a work trip in Regina, Saskatchewan- I’m leading a training. Wish me luck! I hope the rest of you have the weekend off, and aren’t going to work like I am!
