The Weekly Vol.2
Happy Friday and Happy Valentine’s Day! I personally love Valentine’s Day—I think it’s such a fun excuse to do sweet little things for the people we love! I like to keep it casual with small, cutesy gifts. Justin is getting some golf polos, I treated myself to these mugs, and Eloise is getting a few little books!
We’re also team stay-in—a cozy meal, a fun movie or show, and in bed by 8 PM. I wish I were joking, but honestly, an 8 PM bedtime is the ultimate act of love and self-care once you become a parent.
On The Table
I’ve been craving a really good chicken parm, so we’re trying this recipe—with a few modifications to make it “Anna Approved.” -Modifications - I will be swapping the suggested gluten free flours for a homemade one - I use a mix of almond and coconut flour then season with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and some Italian seasoning. I’m serving the chicken parm alongside arugula dressed with a little lemon, olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, and some really good shaved parm.
Read. Watch. Listen.
Praise be! A binge-worthy show is finally back. The White Lotus Season 3—set in Thailand! I’ve watched this trailer at least ten times and cannot wait to start it on Sunday night!
Clean(er) Beauty
Join me as I spiral down the red light therapy rabbit hole: mask or wand? Ugh. I recently listened to this podcast with the founder of LightStim. They make several red light therapy products, this wand is well-priced and seems great for targeting specific areas.
Downside? You have to sit there and hold it to your face. This mask, on the other hand, lets you move around, watch a show, fold laundry, etc. It’s a tough call—so if you’ve tried either, please let me know your experience!
Fun Finds: Home, Littles & Wardrobe
Splatter paint mania
I have vivid memories of my mom pulling out these enamel mugs during our annual Summer camping trips. Never in a million years did I think I’d dub them as “chic”, but here we are—I’d now gladly pay good money for this effortlessly cool, slightly messy ceramic style. Currently loving this pitcher by Tory Burch, these mugs come in a set of 4, and apparently, even this high-street store is getting in on the trend—this butter dish is adorable!
Cute pajamas for your little(s)
Just snagged these and these for Eloise. This brand holds up really well, washes beautifully, and gets softer over time. No shocker here, but organic cotton pajamas are a must for me when it comes to Eloise’s wardrobe.
New at the Crew
I took a little break from this Americana-prep retailer, but something (probably Instagram ) reminded me to check the new arrivals. Loving this top, these sleep or chill shorts with this matching cardigan!
That’s a Wrap on The Weekly!
Have a great weekend!
