Yesterday I made a big batch of delicious Kale and Quinoa Minestrone. Since the Northeast is apparently refusing to leave winter, I figured I’d at least embrace one last chance to make a big comforting meal.
This recipe is a great one – definitely recommended.
I also went through piles and piles of old stuff in my parent’s basement that they’ve wanted me to go through for…years. I threw out most of it, but there were some gems to be found.
…like this proof that I was quite the poet and artist in middle school.
…and these arguably tacky (but now in style) chunky heels from an old Halloween costume. I’m totally going to be wearing these this spring/summer, FYI.
When I’m in PA my mom and I love running errands. We love it so much we’ll just make up things we need to do. It’s sort of our thing.
This is me driving us around. Clearly I don’t care about doing (or even brushing) my hair when I’m here…
We went to the health food store, where I naturally went straight for the gold.
(Has anyone tried Nuttzo? I haven’t opened it yet – hope it’s good!)
We also wandered around Target for an hour, then got mani/pedis. I usually go for weird colors, but this time I kept it pretty normal with a bright Barbie pink.
Last but not least, I started revealing the words from the new Speakable collection, launching on April 1st. Here are the ones I’ve revealed so far 😉
(Follow Speakable on Instagram to see the rest, coming soon!)

Did you/your parents save a lot of things from your childhood?
What’s been the highlight of your week so far?
That ice cream poem is adorable! My siblings and I each have a big tote box filled with the stuff my mom saved from our school days. Mine is now sitting in my closet taking up space.
love those new speakable necklaces! and i just ordered my first two jars of nuttzo - they’re on sale in the online store for just $5 a jar right now (expiration date is july 2014) so i jumped at the chance to try them for super cheap!
Love running errands with mom when I visit mine too. She is getting older and we can’t run as much but we make the most of each minute. Love talking, sharing life and laughing. Also, the poem is cute and I love your drawings of the dancer and her hair =)
I am so so obsessed with that pink color. It’s very Nicki Minaj of you, and you may have inspired my next gel mani!
I’m excited about the Faith necklace!
I’ve tried Nutzo before and it’s pretty good! Also, I love the color on that mani!
I have way too many things from childhood! Im trying to move to ‘digital hoarding’ by taking pictures of everything!
I wished a saved more things from childhood. Because our family moved so much, I feel like we threw so many things out that we should have kept.
I love going home. Seriously the best getaway. Hope it was refreshing!
I looove nuttzo, but haven’t tried the peanut free version! Coconut butter is also heaven. Your hair is seriously gorgeous!
yes, obsessed with coconut butter!
Those ballerina doodles are AWESOME!!
Nutzo is going to change you’re life. It’s everything.
