My Favourite Articles and Links This Week
Lately, I’ve been trying to actually look around and be a little more in the moment when I’m in between things, not just immediately grabbing my phone. Looks like I’m not the only one who feels like their phone is keeping them from seeing what’s really happening.

My Favourite Pins This Week
Fighting a cold? Or just want a to have a healthy, happy-looking soup to cheer up the winter blahs? Then this lemon garlic orzo soup is just the ticket. And unlike a lot of soup recipes, this is actually fast to make. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.
I’m not big on valentine’s day, but I adore this idea- piping colourful icing hearts onto mini oreos!If you know someone who loves oreos (and I think the vast majority of the population does), then this would be a fun and super thoughtful treat. Pinterest link is here, and the original post is here.
And one more that I think would be cute for valentine’s- how pretty is this hot pink roasted beet hummus dip? Super fast to make, and way more enjoyable than the blah beige of typical hummus. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.
I love the idea of adding fancy, feathery hems on a plain dress (or skirt, or even shirt!). Such a fun upcycle idea(although guaranteed to take your item from machine wash to dry clean only). But hey, sometimes it’s fun to be fancy, right? Pinterest link is here, upcycle post is here.
I love these knitted headbands- it is basically i-cord knitted around a plastic headband. Where has this been all my life?! I sued to wear headbands all the time in my twenties. I suppose I still could, I just got out of the habit… I think these have me rethinking it! Pinterest link is here, and the original post is here.
It’s along weekend here, but the temperatures is so cold I’m having a hard time working up the courage to get outside! I think it’s a good weekend for hanging out inside drinking copious amounts of hot chocolate. Who’s with me?
