Hello WEEKEND!

This week felt long. As in really drag-on, tired, unmotivated long. I’ve been in a creative rut the past few weeks and am hoping some time offline, getting out into the world this weekend will help inspire me. I just can’t quite put my finger on the problem but I’m really looking forward to my trip to Charleston in a few weeks and am hoping to get up to NYC in March. Tonight I’m going out for margaritas with girl friends and making my favorite potato pizza (modified with cashew ricotta!) for dinner tomorrow. We are staying in for Valentine’s Day and I’m making crab cakes, bistro steaks, french fries and salad — YUM!

I’m almost done my book — so I’m trying to decide which from my winter reading list to start next. 

I started using Snapchat and I’m addicted!! You can follow me here for a glimpse into my real life antics and plenty of Piper action. My username is caitlin.kruse 

This DIY Swan Valentine’s Box is sooooo cute — even for everyday life, it would look cute in a kid’s room. 

My skin has been so off the past few weeks- not sure what is up but I’ve started using this Wild Rose Vitamin C Peel by Korres and have noticed a difference already, it’s definitely more smooth.

And in other news Austin got me this bottle sterilizer for Valentine’s Day (so romantic!) and it’s seriously the BEST thing ever! 

Have a great weekend!
