#BreakThings: Jolly Ranchers and Hope

03.24.21

Sleep is elusive. Work is never ending. Caffeine has officially failed me. I am now running on Fruit Punch Jolly Ranchers and hope.

Just 30 days left in the legislative session. Let’s count ‘em down. Because as much as I love my job, packing two years of work into four months is a bit like running a gauntlet in 5” heels, while carrying a newborn baby.

I admit it, I am not good at fighting fair. But SELF has therapist-approved tips to help all of us learn the right way to disagree with our partners.

I’m a lawyer, I want to win every argument (see no. 4). But I need to learn that when you’re fighting with your spouse, I only win if we both come out feeling heard and improved.

Wait, a mini-funfetti cake with six slices?

Do I need to share it?

No? Fantastic.

Hummingbird High has a recipe for small families, small offices, or a self-indulgent treat. Because there is a thing as too much cake.

Six slices still too much? Here’s a cupcake recipe made for two.

Or one. No judgment.

I posted this dress from BTFBM to my blog yesterday, and had to share it here. It comes in several gorgeous colors, but the style is perfect for spring and summer. It’s pretty, comfortable and ready for your first patio brunch of 2021.

My house is all white. It’s modern and cool, but I’m thinking it might be time to color up with some paint. Apartment Therapy has 10 pieces of sage wisdom for making your DIY paint job look professional. (I never thought about how important choosing the right paint finish is.)
