A MID-WEEK PICK-ME-UP OF FAVORITE PHOTOS, LINKS AND THINGS

// SIMPLY TWISTED

2

Botanics recently released their Simply Calm line, so they sent over the serum, cream + overnight mask, which I’ve been testing out since it arrived. It’s my first time using skincare products with CBD {So far, I love how relaxed they make me!}, and also my first time using Botanics products {So far, I love how affordable and accessible the line is, but the fact that everything still comes in responsible packaging and glass jars!}.

I was also recently sent this necklace, along with a few other pretty pieces, from Missoma’s new Twisted collection, which I can’t wait to style and wear!

Another thing I snagged at the thrift store this past weekend is this beautifully carved wooden vase. I’m not quite sure where we’ll be putting it, but I just loved the textural details too much not not take it home with me.

// Scalloped details

I’m low-key obsessed with these heels that I found while thrifting this past weekend. While I normally avoid buying shoes at thrift stores, these had never been worn, are made in Italy, and I mean, do you see that dainty scalloped edge detail?! How could I say no to these beauties??!

The Mr. surprised me with these flowers last week and they’ve been going strong since. Always love how simple, yet chic, stock looks! Did I mention that it also last forever {This one is from a week ago and still looks this good!} and it’s really affordable, especially at Trader Joe’s? Oh, and it also smells amazing! In other words, if you need a quick flower pick-me-up, grab yourself some stock!

// MATCHbooks

One of my favorite things to collect, especially while traveling, is matchbooks. Luckily, Austin did not disappoint in the matchbook department. I came home with at least 10 new ones for my collection, and couldn’t be happier about it!

// SOUVENIRS

Speaking of souvenirs, a few more things I brought back from Texas include this sandstone vase and earrings, both purchased at the Houston coffee shop that gives back, and a perfume purchased from this store {but funnily enough is actually made in California}.

-A new healthy snack we’ve been loving

-A slow cooker Indian recipe that doesn't require any pre-cooking or saluting? Sign me up!

-Speaking of Indian food, I adore naan, but recently realized I’ve never actually made it from scratch! Thinking that needs to change ASAP, so I’ve been looking at making this recipe…

-If you love the scalloped heels I found at a thrift store, then you will love these heels. They look very similar to mine and come in nude as well as black.

-Not your average grocery store {PSA, they just opened in LA, so if you live in the area you should pop in!}

-We’re headed out of town tomorrow and I’m so excited for where we’re going because it means I will finally be able to visit this bakery that has been on my list since we moved to LA!

-Another one of my favorite brands just so happens to be based where we’re going so I’m also looking forward to visiting their store irl!
