Links I Love Week 2
Shop Cafe Victor Hugo Print Here
It has been a bitterly cold week in Chicago. Henri and I have had to skip the dog park and long walks and play inside. One of my goals this year is to take some time off each week. I was going nonstop for months on end without a break in 2021 and I ended the year being burnt out. I am still trying to figure out my “day off” for the week but this time around it is a normal Saturday. I napped, did a yoga class, cooked, and had a slow day. I put a time limit on my social apps which is a new challenge. I hope I can continue this habit for 2022.

If you tried last week to grab a bag of coffee on me, I have a new code. Apparently, I shared all my referrals too quickly! I reached out to the brand for help and they gave a new code. I love this company because they highlight small roasters from across the US. Since we recently got a new coffee machine and switched from French Press to drip, we wanted whole beans. You can take a quick flavor profile quiz and they recommend beans to try.
