Hello lovers!
Today is Friday, and for some, Valentine’s Day Eve (I think I just made a new greeting card holiday), and that’s just nice.
I really like cinnamon hearts, so today is two days before post-Valentine’s Day and its glorious discount prices.
Before we dive into all that is good, silly and sassy, I’d like to note, dear loves, that tomorrow is not only Valentine’s Day, but the Annual Women’s Memorial March for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Please lend support in any way you can and if you need more information on the event and in general please see here.
And now, I bring you some lovely linkage.
