I’ve watched a million of those tutorials for pretty and easy wrapping techniques and I still suck.

Although I did manage to get through wrapping about half of the presents today.

Having a transitional wardrobe is one of those things that I consider a must with my wardrobe. It important because of how unpredictable the weather can be here.

This is why it is important for a seasonal capsule wardrobe to be built with pieces that you will utilize and move forward to the next season.

And that is not even taking into consideration how ridiculously expensive and wasteful it is to buy a completely new wardrobe each season.

I just finished baking a cake for Merle’s 10th birthday which is tomorrow. I can’t believe she will be double digits. Can we freeze it for a bit? Because this time flies shit is insane.

She wanted a chocolate cake with cherry filling between the layers which meant that I had to bake instead of buy. I used this recipe and substituted the icing in between the layers for cherry pie filling.

We shall see how it tastes.

Building winter capsule wardrobe can be an easy way to find your style. If I sit back and reflect on my personal style over the last 2+ decades I see a lot of changes, but the core seems to have stayed the same.
