Hi everyone 💛

I’m so excited to share my first official newsletter with you!

How has your February been? For me here in Michigan it’s been sooo chilly ❄️ but this month has also been really full in the best way. Between Valentine’s Day, reconnecting with old friends, and a spontaneous day trip with my mom, it reminded me how much can come from small moments and having things to look forward to. 

One of my favorite days was an impromptu trip to Ann Arbor, MI with my mom. We literally woke up and decided to go! We walked around, explored, and ate some really yummy food.

If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend:

• HopCat – their tenders and cosmic fries are everything 🍟
• Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea – the raspberry lemonade was so good! I love me a raspberry drink🍹
• Le Bon Macaron – I got chocolate macarons and they did NOT disappoint😋
• No Thai! – our for sure stop for dinner every time we go to Ann Arbor  😋

And of course, February wouldn’t be February without something sweet…

Recipe of the Month 🍴

Earlier this month I shared my brown butter cinnamon rolls recipe! I’m not going to lie, cinnamon rolls are hard for me for some reason 😂 but these turned out way better than I expected!

You can try the recipe here. ✨

Stay tuned for more yummy recipes coming in March. 👀

And speaking of something sweet…

Valentine’s & Self-Love 💖

I hope you had a nice Valentine’s Day however you chose to spend it! I went out for brunch with my boyfriend at Sugah Please in Detroit and it was fun because it was a place I had been wanting to try for a while!

Though Valentines is traditionally focused on romantic love, I believe self-love is equally as important. Self-love for me isn’t just about going out or celebrating one day. It’s about the everyday things that help me feel good like:

• Staying consistent with my routines
• Sleeping better (currently trying to stop staying up past midnight 😅)
• Reaching out to old friends and reconnecting  –  I reconnected with an old friend I hadn’t spoken to in 5 years and I’m so glad I did!
  

Taking care of yourself in the little ways really makes you feel good! ✨
