choosing: my next read, frequently - because I have been tearing through the books lately! In March I hope to get to some of the books already on my shelf, like The Kindest Lie and The Masterpiece... but what I really want to read is the shiny and new of course. Just heard about Much Ado About You, and it's all I want - I mean, a rom-com set in a bookshop in a quaint English village?!
imagining: being next to a pool with a book and a beverage. Very wishful thinking for a multitude of reasons, but I guess I have a good imagination...
making: an effort to use the Instant Pot more this year. Mine hasn't gotten much use in the couple of years I've had it because I don't have any go-to recipes, which makes the whole thing seem like more of a hassle than a time-saver. I've finally mastered shredded chicken breasts in it, which comes in handy for a lot of things, and also added this salsa chicken recipe to my roster recently. Any other easy/foolproof ones I should add to my list?
recommending: a tinted eyebrow pomade. I'm not much of a makeup person, but I started using this about a year ago, and what a difference this simple and quick grooming step has made to my look - giving the eyebrows a little extra presence and shape just gives the whole face a bit more presence and polish! (Oh, and there is an excellent and very inexpensive Target dupe too.)
wearing: "compromise sweaters," as I am calling them. In Michigan we definitely still need the warmth of a sweater, but at least I'm wearing the ones that read a little less winter and a little more springy (ish?) perhaps, like this one and this one.
What are you currently up to as we roll into March? I can't help but be doing a lot of remembering too, being 10 days away from the date when everything changed with the quarentimes last year. Who thought we'd still be avoiding restaurants/travel and wearing masks and not getting to see family/friends by this point? But as a friend (on Zoom!) reframed it last week when we were chatting - reaching this one-year milestone, who would have thought we'd have successful vaccine options and the end in sight they are bringing? Now if we could all just get ours.
Hang in there, and come on back on April 7 to chat again - perhaps about what we're currently arranging, craving, discussing, enjoying, and preparing.
