Hello and happy Saturday! The weekend is in full force and we’ve been trying to take things slow and get a little rest in around here! Between the warm weather we left in Phoenix, the cold weather we experienced in Seattle, and the semi-cold temps we came back to — I found myself with what I can suspect is a nasty head cold. Sniffle, sniffle should be my new name because that seems to be all I can say, haha! My voice is super raspy, but it’s nothing a hot cup of tea, some medicine and good old day of rest can’t clear up. So since I’m posted up in bed for the time being  — here’s a few links + thoughts that came across my mind/caught my eye this past week:

— Harlowe James posted a great read on the balancing act of life, work and online — give it a read here!

— I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my favorite red lipstick that I’ve been rocking lately — it’s this MAC staple!

— Have you heard the good news? Our small biz, Citizen Home Decor, launched a few of our best selling designs as stickers! Take a peek and add a few to your own sticker collection!

— I am ALL about my skincare lately, so I loved reading CITNB’s recent post on her winter skincare routine!

— This Madewell X Penfield jacket kept me so warm and drying during our trip to Seattle (and Portland last year). It’s definitely a staple piece in wardrobe during the chilly months! Oh, and bonus — it’s lined with flannel!

— I’m obsessed with these Sezane sneakers Pretty Little Fawn recently shared all about on her blog! I was eyeing them while we were in Paris, and I think I’ll need to make a pair of them mine come spring.

And in case you missed it on CB these past few weeks:

— Five tips for making your bedroom comfy and cozy!

— My favorite coffee tables books and a peek into how i styled them!

— Here’s a full round-up of all that we did + accomplished in 2017!

Hope ya’ll are having a cozy and restful weekend!
