More about the Household Products link: We have been using apple cider vinegar in my office to ward off gnats that came in on my coworker’s plant- it was a gross ordeal but amazing how well it works! Now I am working on my apple cider vinegar cocktails haha.

Thanks for linking back to my Kale Tortellini Soup- it was seriously delicious!

Love that dress!!! Sadly I did not receive an Anthro gift card this year …. Otherwise I would probably have to buy that for myself. 🙂 Happy New Year!

Many years ago, my dad lived in SF for a few years, and gave me his love of almond croissants. Recently went w/friend (who’s living in Canada) to a famously fabulous bakery in SF & I got almond croissants. He got numerous other things, including quiche, cookies, all kinds of lovely stuff. Later, he said, “Your almond croissants were the best thing.”

Yup.

Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for cheering my mood today. I’m early pregnant and feeling the hormones this morning. I was feeling really grumpy and then looked through your list pinned a bunch of stuff and now I feel better. Also I made your cookies and cream peppermint bark twice this holiday season and got raves. Love your blog!!!
