Happy Saturday, sweet friend. ? How’s it going? What are you up to this weekend?
I have a pretty packed agenda on this end because the Coywolf turns four on Monday (can you believe it?), when she’ll be in school, so we’re doing the celebrating this weekend. I’m making her annual celebratory birthday lasagna, also some cupcakes, and tonight we’re going to Disney on Ice (very excited about that!).
Also, while all of this happens, I plan to be wearing that NARS palette up at the top. In my quest to clean and streamline my makeup collection, I rediscovered it. I made it a while back and realized it needs more love. ???? So love it shall have.
Oh! — I almost forgot it’s leap year. What are you doing for your extra day today? Any leap day birthdays out there? Inquiring minds want to know.
And now, onward to our weekly reading…

- You just never know when someone is carrying a heavy load, and this is a call for all of us to be gentler and more compassionate with each other.
- These pie crusts are so beautiful that they’re almost too pretty to eat (almost).?

Dr. Stewart, you are a good man, thank you. Also, love the deserty tones of your palette. Like sunset not cake desert.
