Hi all! Welcome to this week’s link up. We’re happy to have ya here, and we hope you’re excited to be here. So let’s start the engine and get this thing going.
This week’s home tour is the home tour shown round the world, it’s Gwyneth Paltrow’s home! Designed by the INCREDIBLE Romanek Design Studio and architecture firm Roman and Williams, plus styled by powerhouse Colin King, this home was destined for greatness. It’s insanely beautiful and peaceful. Looks like a hotel and spa and BOY are we down to check-in!
Target is celebrating Black History Month with these awesome small business collabs! Check it out and go support the incredible brands.
From Emily: I FOUND THE BEST CHOCOLATE EVER (and a great V-day gift for literally anyone – friends, too). During my attempt to stay away from refined sugar (and all wine/alcohol) in January yet wanting something sweet at night one of my best friends said, “Oh, you have to try Honey Mama’s”. It’s Portland-made, vegan chocolate that is INSANELY GOOD. I have never in my life freaked out over chocolate and I’ve been evangelizing about it ever since – telling everyone I know. I buy it locally (in the fridge department of New Seasons or Basics) but they will ship to you. And not only are they supporting a small local business, but it’s dairy-free, gluten-free, no refined sugar, and yet CRAZY delicious and full of flavor. Ok, that is all. Get the 8 pack and give them to all your friends or coworkers for V day.
From Mallory: I’ve never had jeans this color and now I’m SO GLAD I DO. I bought these j-crew jeans on sale when I was at their store and boy are they so good (and still on sale FYI!) I wear them every day with this sweater and some people may be tired of it but I do not care!
From Jess: As a BIG card lover, I love this card for Valentines Day<3
Also From Jess: I love this brand and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes (in chrome) and everyone should know they exist.
From Ryann: My son (aka my 60 lb American Bulldog/Boxer mix) is not what you would consider a chill dog. He’s lucky he is so handsome because he’s never on his best behavior. He loves to jump on any human he sees and loses his mind anytime he sees another dog. It’s fun. He also has separation anxiety (likely from being abandoned before we adopted him) so I wanted to get him some natural relaxing dog treats to see if that will calm his nerves a bit. I am absolutely shocked to say that I have noticed a considerable difference since giving him these treats! They don’t cure his bad behavior (only divine intervention could do that!!) but he is 10x more relaxed on a daily basis. I’ll say this: on Christmas, there were about 20 people at my parent’s house and two children under 2 years old. I was freaking out not knowing how our dog would act but he was, for once, a very good boy! These treats, it seems, just make him less anxious and less starved for attention. I don’t know the science behind it but I sure am happy I tried them out.
Thanks, everyone for tuning in!!! ALL OUR LOVE TO YOU AND YOURS!
