Guess who went to Sephora today . . .
I’m always attracted to skincare products that sound edible. Thyme honey cream. Apple cleanser. Mmmmm …
The Help by Kathryn Stockett pt.1
The first thing that struck me about this book was the way the author chooses to write for her characters of color. These women are the titular “Help” - black maids to white women in the early 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi.

Do you think I could pretend to be a bad cook

We’re going minimalist this year: three types of heirloom cherry tomatoes (I tried to pick the weirdest looking ones) and a couple of peppers.
