OMG yes - Hello Beautiful is totally lit fic and I actually got mad at it for being so moody when its inspiration (Little Women) is so heartfelt. In my current reading mood, lit fic has to be really weird or historically important to do much for me. Re pants - finally after 20 years of my body morphing on the daily, I have learned to hold on to pants of all sizes so I can just switch between them over the course of any day, week, month. Also, leggings when needed 😆 Thanks for the nod to my new home - much appreciated!

And stick with the brands and fit that work for you, not "what's trending."

Leggings and a dress are always a good choice.

I won't rule out "LitFIc" (love that term) IF someone I trust recommends it. I seek truth in advertising everywhere. You can't trust influencers. :o)

You got your heart shaped pizza, hurrah!! I did take a picture of my kids for you (I just divided one ball of dough into 4 and shaped them as hearts but yours was definitely more recognizable 😂). And I love what Jess is doing, her and I have been connected via Instagram for years and it's been so refreshing to witness her approach to de-influencing. She's also a fellow Vermonter and it's been an interesting thing to reflect on how our communities shape our values!

Yes, I PAID for her Substack which is major for me. :o)

Not pictured: I ate half that pizza. :o) It's okay to take the lazy way out (ordering the pizza). I haven't made Valentine's cookies yet (tomorrow!)
