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!
