We made our first ever batch of scones! And they’re so delicious! 🎉 After the past two years mastering pie crust and biscuits, learning to make croissants, and building baking skills, scones were super simple and not scary at all. 💖 We used @sallysbakeblog’s Glazed Cranberry Orange Scones recipe. (I can’t recommend her blog enough. The recipes are so well written. I’ve made dozens and never had a fail.) 😋

Walked to dinner last night after school. 💖 I didn’t even have to put on a heavy coat! Just a sweater coat. 🤗 (It was the J.Crew one Meghan Markle wore to watch Serena at the U.S. Open without putting her arms in the sleeves, in case you like details like that. 😂)

Spa Day! 🥰 Since law school has taken over my life and I have zero time or energy for hobbies that might require supplies of some kind, when it came time for Christmas presents, I asked my mom for a gift certificate to my favorite local spa, @viviansspa. 💖 Today was the day! I got a massage, a facial, a manicure, and a pedicure. It took hours and it was fantastic. Considering I kept failing to find time for even a basic manicure all semester, this was a real treat. And I know what I’m asking for when my birthday rolls around. 🤗

The last season of Schitt’s Creek started tonight. I love it so much. I watched the episode two times in a row right away — first with my husband and then again by myself to “analyze every scene” as he joked on the way out of the room. 💖 If you haven’t watched yet, I can’t recommend it highly enough. It makes my heart happy. It’s so funny and sweet and perfect. 🥰
