Hey there! How are you? Are you settling into the rhythm of this new year? Are you remembering to balance your green smoothies with chocolate truffles?

On these cold winter days I often get the cleaning urge. With all this time spent indoors, I can't help but pick my home apart and pay notice to the often-ignored areas. While I clean our little home once a week, there are certain tasks that I only do every so often, such as cleaning my sink. I really want to be more religious about it this year. I really appreciated this article and I am definitely going to be making this cleaner.

We still have not taken down our Christmas decorations. It was supposed to happen this weekend, but I am not sure if I am ready. I really cannot even imagine our living room without the tree now. I know it cannot stay up forever, but can I please stretch it out just a tiny bit longer?

I am crushing on this lamp so hard right now and trying to think of an excuse to buy it for myself. An early Valentine's Day gift to me?

I feel like this is very much a "rose by any other name" situation. Hair clouds? Really?

I am going to be making myself this kombucha mocktail this weekend and I cannot wait.

Really craving this snack cake right now.

I have made a whole lot of this shortbread lately. I know that my cookies-for-breakfast days were supposed to be at an end, but I needed something to eat with my morning tea.

Happy, happy weekend!

Sincerely,

Pedantic Foodie
