Weekend Reading.

Happy weekend, friends! But first… a birthday announcement – of sorts! ๐Ÿ˜‰ The Stripe (formerly Stripes & Sequins and before that Perfectionist in Rehab!) turns 8 today. Happy birthday, sweet little blog of mine! I have a low key weekend ahead. Last night I managed a run and stayed in watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel… today I have morning yoga and then a few errands, and tomorrow I have more yoga and + an afternoon shoot. Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great.. STAY WARMMM WHY IS IT SO COLD?!

No hangovers here but this cheesy cauliflower soup just sounds so good!

    Yuck.

    Your ten ways to be positive links to a blog written by Neely Moldovan. She was found guilty of defamation for ruining photographers career on her blog and has to pay $1mil back…. I wish youโ€™d research people before linking to them….

    I try to avoid meetings and calls on Monday if I can. So true. I think that’s the day that is important to catch up on all the things for the week.
