this & that * january 19

I hope you have a fun weekend ahead. We’re going to a birthday party of a friend’s three-year-old and cleaning the upholstery on our sofas (adulting!) After doing much research on upholstery cleaning—to rent, to hire, to purchase your own—I finally caved and ordered an upholstery cleaner. Stain-free sofas, you will be mine!

Some links to kick off your weekend…

In honor of LL Cool J turning 50, here’s a list of 50 things ladies also love. #49!!

Currently coveting this candle inside a hand-thrown tumbler that can be used for drinking once the candle burns out.

My friend Megan made this slow cooker red lentil curry, and it looked so good that I had to make it the following morning for dinner that night—delicious and will be made over and over this winter! I mainly stuck to Megan’s recipe, except for a few things: I swapped out sweet potatoes for butternut squash as that’s what I had; added a squeeze of lime at the end; and topped it with some toasted unsweetened coconut chips, because I’m on a coconut kick these days.

Why trash and not donate?

It’s been 1 year since the Women’s March.

Why we shouldn’t shield children from darkness.

Have a great weekend!
