We met with another snow storm this week and I am relishing these cozy, productive, stay-at-home days. This year, I was determined to resist the winter blues. I tried to be intentional about arming myself with healthy habits that would keep me joyful and motivated. And guess what? I never remember having so much joy throughout any winter. I believe much of it is due to my getting up so early. The alarm rings at 4:30am, which is painful at times, but it means I am able to actually take the morning slow. I can sip my tea rather than gulp it, and maybe knit a bit while I wait for the sun to show her face. Beginning with such calming rituals sets a delightful tone for the rest of the day.
How absolutely adorable is this dutch oven?
Victoria is back and I could not be happier. I think I will be adding this book to my reading list this year.
I am experimenting with this moisturizer set right now and so far I have been super happy with it. My face begs for hydration during this time of the year.
I really need to try this cake.
I want to make more of my own cleaning products this year. Do you have any favorite recipes?
Obsessed with these salt and pepper shakers.
Mr. Pedantic and I have a road trip to make this weekend for a family wedding and all I can think about is how excited I am for wedding cake.
Wishing you all a very happy Friday!
Sincerely,
Pedantic Foodie
