Random thoughts on a brilliantly sunny almost-February Saturday morning:
1. I got my hair highlighted yesterday. It was time.
My roots were putting out an SOS.
2. I’m heading to Florida for a conference next week. I can’t wait to hang out with friends and plan and dream for our businesses in 2023.
I’m getting so excited.
3. This week on the blog we discussed:
- my favorite handmade gift ever
- how I organized my butler’s pantry
- these spring finds under $25
- how to create your own clock
4. I found the BEST leggings. I’ve been working out and I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect leggings. I’m 5′ tall so they had to be short enough to look long on my (does that even make sense?) and I wanted them to be soft but still have enough compression to hold everything in. Oh, and they needed a pocket on the side.
And I didn’t want to spend tons of money.
Cue the hallelujah chorus because?
And now?
Let’s see all the fun finds I discovered for all of us this week.
These hand-painted candles.
Aren’t they so pretty for Valentine’s Day.
See the DIY here.
This table setting is so perfect for winter.
Look at the mitten holding the silverware.
You can see the entire table here.
This cake looks like art.
It’s topped with fresh fruit and so easy to make.
This kitchen is so beautiful.
I’m obsessed with these new tiles.

Has anyone tried this as a way to make frozen desserts before (it has over 18,000 reviews and says it’s guilt-free)? I so want to get it, but I don’t understand how it works exactly.
If you use it can you let me know in the comments?
It would be so much better than a tub of ice cream. 
And a couple more for the road
I have been getting so many paint color questions lately.
It’s that time of year when all hearts turn toward refreshing a room with paint.
To help here are some of my favorite paint colors:
- the best blue gray paint colors

I ordered this blue knit dress from Walmart and it got here and it’s SO PRETTY.
And it’s under $23.

Happy random Saturday to you
