Hey Teeeews-daaaeeee! Yeah we're being weird this morning. NBD. Portland got hot again! I've somehow planned to bake things ONLY on the hottest days of this summer — clearly planning my life *very* well these days. Oh well! Mostly I'm just soaking up as much summer as I can and enjoying the weather while it lasts! I keep thinking "OMG summer is almost over!" since it's mid-August, but in reality... this awesome weather still has quite a bit of time left. LIVE IT UP! Also, eat all the things. Here we go!
Here's what I found on the interwebs this week that made me drool!

Re homemade deodorant: I've been making my own for I think three years now, and it's great! Super easy to make and works well. My recipe is here.
