A few things I am Loving right now like this hippo sachet filled with jasmine and a hippo card.
This matcha bowl, spoon, and whisk and also the marble coasters I got for Christmas.
And this dry shampoo Rahua, which is 100% natural and made from absorbent clays and products from the rainforest. No chemicals are in it.
I posted a video yesterday of my time at Fullersburg Woods in Oak Brook, IL.
I got a treat when I saw the rare ruby-crowned kinglet. The male kinglet himself is not rare here this time of year. But showing his ruby "crown" is more rare.
I also saw sparrows, warblers, thrush, northern flickers, American robins, doves, and mallard ducks.
The creek was swollen with water and it was cool and calm outside.
I always love to visit the Art Institute of Chicago.
I've been anxiously awaiting the reopening of the Rennaissance and Armor exhibit. The new exhibit is in a beautiful space complete with cathedral ceilings and gothic arches
I overheard a tour guide speaking to a group of young people about how gritty and industrial the city is and that the Art Institute provides a place for beautiful art and collections as almost a refuge from the grittiness of the city.
It really does feel like a refuge.
