We did it you guys! Another workweek down! :)))))) June is my second favorite month of the year because it's my Birthday month and the start of summer. Here are a handful of things that caught me eye this week.
1. I read the NY Times Part 1 expose on nail salons when it first came out, but I only just read Part 2 this week. Then I fell down the rabbit hole of nail salon articles. Then I started wondering if my current nail polish is slowly killing me. {Perfect Nails, Poisoned Workers // NY Times}
{Where to Get an Ethical Manicure in NYC // Racked}
2. I'm not much of a "let's recreate vintage everything" person, but this line of vintage make-up available at Sephora has such stunning packaging. I'm tempted to buy lipstick or a compact from the line just so I can carry something that pretty in my purse. {Besame Cosmetics // Sephora}
3. Honey and cream iced espresso drink recipe. I made it the other evening as soon as I got home from work and it was De-lish-ous. {milk and honey iced coffee // Pinch of Yum}
4. Well, of course, watching cat videos is good for your mental health. If your spirits aren't instantly lifted after watching a cat do something ridiculously adorable, then I'm sorry to tell you, but you're a monster. {Cat Videos are Good for Your Health // Quartz}
5. Did you see Badskirt Amy's unfinished pile of quilting projects she posted this week? I can't remember how long I've been following her blog so some of the items were new to me, but others, like the Cirrus Plaid block, I remember reading about when she first made them. I know a lot of garment sewers talk about their UFO pile, but I don't think many quilters do. Have a look inside Amy's UFO pile. She has a way of using colors and prints to create designs and blocks that are distinctly "Badskirt Amy". I've never admitted this before, but I definitely have a "quilting crush" on Badskirt Amy. ;) {The UFO Admission // Badskirt}
I never made it to Yogurtland last weekend, but I'm definitely making a stop tomorrow! You know, a day after eating a Princess Cake topped with purple cocoa powder (as seen in the photo above). And maybe the beach too because it's finally warming up over here. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
