Amander Hesser's Chocolate Dump It cake has been a favourite in my house since I read about it in Cooking for Mr Latte also. It really is delicious.

it's really the best- every time I make it I'm reminded of how easy and delicious it is!

This is such a smart approach—and it’s not intuitive at all (especially when we’re being marketed to at every turn). Which makes me extra-glad you wrote about it…signed, the girl who just did some pre-vacation clothes shopping 🤣

I'm not saying never shop, I'm saying shop smarter and more focused! And I bet you did! 😉❤️

i like the mantra “buy for where you are now, not for the future.” i have wasted a lot of money and closet space on future outfits.

thank you for the wonderful links!

the Pinterest board strategy is a good one - I have boards for each season and they're basically all filled with the exact same things - because I like wearing the same things all the time!!! 🤣

Show us that cover up!!! Also, I try so hard to avoid the vacation/travel and wedding/holiday party shopping panic. I tell myself “On a trip I’ll probably feel most comfortable wearing what I usually wear,” and for weddings/parties I tell myself “No one cares what I’m wearing”, which is usually comforting but sometimes too sad and self loathing, haha. I DID buy a new versatile slip dress for an upcoming wedding tho. I’m hoping this can be my easy dressy option for the next couple years.

I will take a pic modeling the cover up for a future issue! 😉 I love your mantra - another one of mine, that I just said to my teenaged daughter yesterday, is: noone is looking at your shoes!
