Lately, I’m Loving…

…a huge belated birthday splurge. 

After four years of pining for an Hermes clic-clac bracelet, I decided that my golden birthday this year (30 on May 30) was a milestone worthy of such an indulgent purchase. 

However, this wasn’t a purchase I could make spontaneously. It’s a lot of money to spend on an enamel bracelet no matter how long I’ve coveted one. In January, I started saving any blog income (ahem, affiliate money on my own purchases), eBay earnings and a little bit per paycheck in a Capital One 360 account.

Do any of you use Capital One 360? It’s pretty amazing. Dave introduced me to it when I started saving for this bracelet. You can setup a general savings account or create accounts with savings goals assigned to them (mine are designated for fashion splurges and travel). If you wanted to give it a whirl, you can earn a bonus of $25 if you sign up with my referral link and make an initial deposit of $250. (You don’t need to make minimum deposits moving forward and you don’t need to maintain a minimum balance.) There’s a bigger bonus of $50 for opening up a checking account, but I’m not sure what those details are. Either way, it’s a nice little bonus toward your next splurge. Are you saving up for anything?

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
