My Favourite Pins This Week

This recipe is my idea of perfection- burrito bowls. I love rice, I love meals that have all kinds of colour and veggies, and this checks all the right boxes for me. The recipe is apparently about meal prepping, something I’ve never done in my life, unless buying a sleeve of bagels and a container of cream cheese counts. The recipe makes 4 servings, so you could easily just serve if for dinner and whatever is leftover is lunch the next day. That’s still meal prepping, right? I don’t think I’m quite getting it. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe is here.

How have I never heard of white chocolate brownies before?! This is a thing? Why aren’t I eating these right now?!!! You think you know about all the dessert squares and then something like this comes along… Pinterest link is here, and you can find the original recipe here.

Summer is prime rosé time, and I think that rosé lemonade is probably going to be huge- fresh lemonade turned to pink perfection with the addition of rosé wine. Perfect for using up leftover wine (or mix fresh lemonade with the whole bottle, if you are serving guests!), or if you just want to make the bottle last even longer. Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe – including the fresh lemonade- is here.

Embroidering on jeans is such a summery look, and I love this idea of using sashiko style stitching to revitalize a pair of jeans. You could keep it simple by only using embroidery thread in one colour, or you could use all kinds of colours and rainbow it up. Whatever you’d like!

I love small but unusual jewelry, and this adorable gold dinosaur necklace has me utterly charmed- the DIY loosk super simple, so all I need to do is find a tiny dino and I’ll be all set to DIY this myself! Pinterest link is here, original post is here.

Have an amazing weekend, everyone! I hope you get to do the things that you love- I’ve recently got really into yoga, and I’m excited for a workshop this weekend – also hoping to catch up on work and magically finish the millions of things I need to do, while trying  to relax and have fun… but I feel like it’s all going to just work itself out. 🙂
