This week felt a little off with Halloween landing on Monday, so I’m especially glad it’s the weekend — and the weekend before my birthday, no less. We’re celebrating with a few birthday-related plans and little treats. How about you? Any fun plans coming up?
If you love makeup, don’t miss that the Sephora VIB sale started recently. I may have kicked off my birthday celebrations a bit early with some of the sale finds.
Earlier in the week I shared short videos of two favorites: our easy weeknight chicken tacos and a ridiculously good pumpkin-ricotta gnocchi. Both are simple, comforting, and have been on rotation around here.
