Happy weekend! I am in Charleston. I booked a last minute trip down here this week… it will be nice to get out of the cold for a bit!!! Spending time with friends here for a few nights and then heading back on Monday afternoon… the perfect little weekend escape! I have LOTS of good links for you this week – I hope you enjoy them as much as I did… and in the meantime, have a great weekend + stay warm! XOXO
The perfect canvas tote, hands down. It would be great for errands – or vacation.
I really loved (and related to) this article about our obsession with skincare.
I can’t get enough of these gold eye masks. I keep mine in the fridge.
A new beauty/self-care podcast that I’ve really been enjoying.

These glittery New Balance sneakers are pretty much everything.
Dating? How to stop the breadcrumbers.
“Nobody and Somebody.” I loved this essay!
My faaaaavorite highlighter is available in a little $20 set. This is one of my holy grail products so if you are wanting to try it, this set is the perfect way to do so!
Carly wrote another monster post packed with tips for starting a blog. I wholeheartedly agree with everything she says.
I am so excited that J.Crew has long torso swimsuits… always a problem for me when ordering one pieces. I scooped up this one in cobalt for Cartagena.
This tiny apartment is so well done!
Kat look stunning in her simple white kaftan.
This pom pom sweater is so darn cute!!!
How fun are these lucite earrings? I haven’t seen anything like them… really cool and different.

Why dry brushing is just the best.
This striped blouse is just gorgeous.

Thank you for the links! ❤️ I’ve never tried microneedling before but I’ve been reading a lot about it recently, definitely curious too! ❤️

Yay! Hope you had a great weekend.
I always make a cup of tea and sit down to read your Weekend Reading links, thanks for providing this incredible routine 🙂
I guess one questions – do you have any other blog recommendations that do a similar roundup? I love Cup of Jo’s too! I like the substance of the articles you post and the mix of all topics!
Jess Ann Kirby, Jennifer Lake, and Carrie Colbert all do round-up posts on Fridays!
Glad to hear that!
Love starting my Saturdays with your weekly roundups. It’s always the best mix of useful, interesting and fun!! Thanks especially for the link to Carly’s post. A question for you and other responders with blogs — do you think using a Mac is a necessity? I’m starting a blog and need to buy a new laptop. My blog will focus on civic issues in my community, so it may not require as much photo editing ect., as a lifestyle-oriented blog. Thank you!!!
I’m so glad to hear that!
I don’t think you have to use a Mac – it’s whatever you’re most productive on. I’m a die hard Mac user and get tripped up using a PC.
Yes, always for sneakers.
Thank you for sharing these.
You are so welcome – I love them!!
Yay! I’ve started drinking lemon water every morning. Love having good reasons to back my choices! Also that yoga mat – I have to have it!
Right? I ordered it immediately!!!
Thanks for including my essay! I was wincing while writing it…xoxo
I loved it 🙂 xx
