Processed with VSCOcam with c1 preset Happy Holiday, friends! Hope you're enjoying this day and not working. I wanted to pop in today and deliver my favorite links of the week, and also explain my partial absence these past few weeks. Part of it is my day job schedule - super early mornings mean not a lot of computer face time to mull over what I want to write about. But truly, I'm in a bit of a creative rut over here. Some mornings, I just don't have a lot to say, and rather than forcing out a post that might waste your time (after all, you come here for some juicy, useful information), I step away from my computer and go on with my day. This action is accompanied by a lot of guilt, a lot of feeling not good enough, and a downward spiral ensues. If you watched Think Tank last week, you heard us touch on this. It's important to acknowledge what's going on over here, and I wanted to keep you guys up to speed.

Are you out of town for the 4th this weekend? Raven has work, so I'll be staying local with some friends. I haven't celebrated the 4th out and about in NY in a while, so I'm looking forward to it. Whatever you're up to, have a great one. Links of the week, right here:

How to fall asleep almost instantly. 

Part of me kind of loves wine on ice, so this is awesome.

Would love to try this ballet workout.

I tried Apple Music yesterday and loved it. A 'Best of 2009' playlist? Yes ma'am.

There are so many sales happening! Here's my pick from Shopbop, ASOS, and Net-a-Porter.

Affordable, pretty hotel roundup!

This. This gal is my soul sister.

See you Monday, loves!

Hi friends! Friday again, with a long weekend ahead, no less. What are you all up to? Raven and Charlie and I are headed up to Old Lyme, CT for the weekend. We'll be eating plenty of fried food and drinking plenty of wine over nightly board games. We'll also be spending the weekend with my brother and SIL as well as their son, Elliot. I cannot wait for some one on one time with my nephew! Here's hoping you have an exceptional Memorial Day, and as always, here are my favorite links of the week:

A Jon Hamm (love him!) interview about the Mad Men finale.

Would you book a hotel room just for a good cry?

ASOS is 20% off with code LONGWKND! I want this.

Wine ordering tips.

Nordstrom is also having an enormous sale! I could use some new workout pants.

This is amazing. (via Refinery29)

For all you horndogs (or horncats, hornturtles, hornrabbits) out there...
