Wednesday Regency: Music
I was looking for Regency music online but found none. Admittedly, I didn't do a long search or search very hard. What I did find was this very interesting bit from Jane Austen's World:
Purchasing music sheets was expensive during the Regency era. People would loan sheet music to each other,which they would then copy into notebooks. While Austen did not write the lyrics she sang, she did choose which music she wanted to play. After borrowing a piece, she painstakingly copied it into a notebook...

DIY Thursday: Homemade Facials
I own this book DIY Natural, it's a great book and I highly recommend it. But I've now also subscribed to their newsletter. My new favorite facial has come from them.

Friday Recipe: Maple Peanut Butter Balls
