📦 Last week I mentioned I bought this onesie and these sweater pants off the Amazon Spring sale and did not have the highest hopes for either. But I’m so impressed by both I ordered more in different colors…
🫧 My friend Star raved about Ouai Hand Soap and gave me some for Christmas. I finally cracked it open and get the hype — they have tiny little granular scrubbies in them (definitely Aesop vibes, but a little more affordable at $32 instead of $43). And I like that the soap dispenser doesn’t gush out too much product; you get just the right amount so it lasts longer… though I wish it came in glass.
🌱 Algae Cooking Club recently sent over some of their chef-grade Everything Oil to try. It’s made from — yup, algae — which offers an alternative to traditional industrial farming methods that require longer waiting times for harvest. It’s a neutral oil with a high smoke point, making it more versatile for every day use (in this household) than olive oil. We’ve cooked with it but I’ve also used it to oil down some wooden cutting boards.
💻 If you have a Squarespace site on 7.0 and have been waiting for them to integrate an easy update to 7.1 — it’s happened! I followed these directions for both my website and Abe’s and it was seamless — dare I say, easy?!?
