Food

These slow cooker curried red lentils are a cheap and easy dinner to throw together in the middle of the day. We were SHOCKED how delicious they were! A few notes: we omitted the chiles, used coconut milk, and DID add the butter. The butter helped make it more of a savory, creamy dish, in a way that only butter can.

Watch this video and you'll see why they claim it's "the only cocktail recipe you'll need this summer." Cheers!

Faith

Past Changing Seasons Speaker, Sara Hagerty, shares some exciting news, in the most beautifully, eloquent way. Our favorite line? "If I choose to hope, then I’m also choosing to trust Him to hold all the mess of me that surfaces as I face the fret and uncertainty that I mostly stuff when I don’t open myself up to hope." Missed her Changing Seasons talk in Virginia Beach? Watch it here.

Fun & Fabulous

Politics aside, we have recently fallen in love with Ivanka Trump's shoe line. We recently purchased a pair of $80 slingback pumps and we were shocked to find they had a similar look, feel, design, and comfort as a $600 pair of Jimmy Choos...we're serious! You can grab some on sale here. Speaking of sales, there's still time to take advantage of Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale--see our favorite picks, here. Do you love La Croix as much as we do? Light and refreshing with no sweeteners, no calories, no sodium--what's not to love?! Maybe we're dorks, but we loved reading this article on the rise of sparkly beverage. If only we had the foresight to buy stock back in 2011! #livelacroix

That's it for this week!  We'll see you next week!
