When it's cold and drizzly out, like it's been for most of this week, all I want to eat are soups and stews. Many of my soup recipes are meat-based, but Anel and I are trying to eat plant-based dinners at least 3x/week so I've been on the hunt for a vegan soup that is both hearty and full of flavor.
Earlier this week I had a couple of moles biopsied at my yearly skin screening. This happens every year or two and it freaks me out every single time. As the doctor scrapes off the mole, I internally kick myself for not wearing sunscreen in my teens and early twenties. The amount of sun damage I have now is a literal health concern.
January ended after approximately 75,000 days but I managed to not use a single single-use plastic bag during that abnormally long month...and also managed to break Dry January only once! How did you do? I actually found it really easy since I was prepared ahead of time. I did forget my produce bags at the grocery store more than once and ended up just putting fruit and veggies directly into my shopping totes and having the person checking me out take them from the bag directly.
I consider myself a bit of a loungewear connoisseur... I've been working from home for years and while I strive to get dressed in "real clothes" daily, by 3pm most days I've changed into joggers and a sweatshirt or leggings and a Dudley Stephens. So I was excited few weeks ago when I got a marketing email from J.Crew announcing their new weekend shop.
