It's Saturday! And though I'm reading a ton (currently: devouring
California by Edan Lepucki on my Nook and listening to
Cuckoo's Calling by JK Rowling Robert Galbraith in the car), I'm a bit burnt out on talking about books*, given a crunch of deadlines that all fell in the same two-week span. So instead, here are some non-book things I'm loving, in a trend I might continue over the coming weeks to explore some of my non-bookish delights. They do exist.
This week, it's lavender: lavender everything, lavender everywhere.
How supremely unoriginal, I know, but then--how is it that I managed to not actually plant lavender in my house for such a very long time? (Or any plants, for that matter, but that's a conversation for another day.)
Plant: Home Depot, ~$4. Mason Jar Pot: Christmas Tree Shops, $6.99.
Sounds like it would be weird and overly floral. It isn't. It's divine (on salad, on cheese, dropped in seltzer water--use your imagination).
I expect most olive oil/vinegar stores (which seem to be popping up everywhere) will have a version of this, though mine's from L.O.V.E. Oil & Vinegar in Frederick, MD (they ship!). $18 for 375 mL, but you only need a splash at a time.
I'm loving the bubble bath and the lotion of late, though I also have the pillow spray (smells divine, doesn't last long).
From Bath & Body Works, $10+.
