Picture this: It’s Sunday. You are holding a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee and you just settled into your favorite reading spot. The morning air is cool and refreshing so you open a window to let a quiet breeze linger in. This is your long-awaited ME time and you feel very at peace. This sounds like an idyllic way to read this week’s link up, right?? Well, even if this is not your current situation, we hope you can give yourself a little self-care moment (whatever that means to you) as you enjoy this short and sweet Sunday read. Let’s get to it:

First and foremost, we must talk about today’s featured home tour, courtesy of our favorite Australian interior design website. That dining room up there is straight out of our rattan-loving dreams (and do we even have to mention those double pendants?? they are TOO good).

From Emily: “Well, I’m VERY upset that it took me this long to find out who Matty Matheson is. I’m going to make his chicken soup recipe this weekend. It takes 4 hours to make!!!”

From Mallory: “Veronica is tired of hearing me talk about these so I’ll share them with you. They are the best protein bars in the entire world. They have real ingredients in them (what a concept) so they need to be refrigerated. JUST GIVE THEM A TRY. They’re super filling AND nutritious (best flavors are peanut butter and cookie dough IMHO).”

Jess got this matte bronzer as a gift and now she is hooked because she looks like she has life in her face again (her words). It’s big so it should last a long time and gives Jess her ideal “natural” sunkissed look.

From Caitlin: “Warren’s staff goodbye was so beautifully said that I cried a lil. I can’t believe the race looks SO DIFFERENT than it did this time last week. I’m excited to see how many people have been inspired by the journey of these candidates and encourage any of you who may be interested in pursuing public office to check out one of my favorite orgs, She Should Run. It’s a nonpartisan non-profit that provides women with a framework and roadmap for running for office! They have an incredible incubator that you can work through on your own time and a great parent’s course for anyone currently raising on mentoring a girl with an interest in service. I just love seeing women in politics, y’all!!!”

Have you ever picked up a pen, used it, and felt viscerally at ease?? That’s what Ryann feels when she uses this pen that her boyfriend bought her as a Christmas gift. It is beautiful, compact, and writes so smoothly. It’s the perfect writing utensil as far as she is concerned.

Veronica bought this belt from Target and loves it. “I’ve always wanted to hop on the snakeskin train, and this is the perfect subtle way to spice up any outfit!”

Julie’s flyaways have been out of control lately and she needs your help to tame her locks. She has tried (what feels like) everything, from serums to sprays. Everything either seems to leave her fine/thin hair greasy or so stiff and the flyaways still stand straight up like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals. So she is looking for all and any suggestions in the comments below, thanks to all in advance!

Alright, that is all for now. We hope you have a lovely Sunday and see you back here tomorrow. xx
