Love these suggestions! I especially love Connections, and let me tell you, I have a next-level PROCESS for ruling at it. My goal is always to complete the entire thing without any mistakes, and if possible, to complete the groupings from hardest to easiest: purple, blue, green, then yellow. In order to achieve this, I take a screenshot of the blank board game, and edit the screenshot in photos using markup pens, working the entire puzzle out before I ever submit a single grouping guess. Then once I'm ready to submit my answers, I try to guess which grouping will be purple and enter that one first, and so on. WHAT EVEN IS MY LIFE

I bought my first -and last- pair of Birkenstocks mamy years ago, right before a backpacking trip, at my boyfriend's insistence that they'd be so much more comfortable than flip flops. Spoiler: they were not. My impression was that they are made for wider feet, and mine are very narrow. Whatever it was, I'm not jumping into the Birkenstocks are awesome bandwagon. Now let me try Connections!

Holly, I always adore your recommendations. I’m for sure getting those cute earrings and word game. I found these earring backs on Amazon after nearly losing a diamond stud and they work really well.

Feeling pretty great to be not only on the Connections bandwagon — and over Wordle postings — but also already the owner of the pearl earrings! They are the perfect everyday pair!

I LOVE the Friday Five! I was around wayyy back when for the bad decision Tuesday - I miss that blog!! So I’ve been around long enough to remember the hunt for the perfect lip color and I bought the cover girl this week based on last weeks recommendation and wow! It’s soo good. A great chapped lip color. 💜

Now to try this trifecta of face goodies in the morning. Keep it coming! I’m loving it!

The big buckle Madrids taunt me every summer in cute colors but I learned the hard way to ignore them and just buy another Arizona instead.
