Weekend Links

Even though it was a short week this week, it sure didn't feel like it. We never made it to Lake Placid last weekend—our little munchkin got sick, so we've spent the last week cuddling and nursing him back to health. Hopefully this weekend goes more to plan. We're having friends over for brunch tomorrow and then hopefully getting caught up on some much needed sleep! Happy weekend and a few links from around the web...

Remember when I posted about quitting Facebook a couple of weeks ago? My hubby sent me this article this week and it has me rethinking how much I use my smartphone.

Have you been following the Harvey Weinstein scandal? I'm glad he is going down for his terrible behaviour. I just once wish someone would be honest and say "I knew about his behaviour, but because he was so powerful, and for the sake of my own career and ambition, I turned a blind eye and continued to work with him. Treating women like he did is part of the cost of doing business in our industry." Until we as a society own up to ignoring this behaviour, and start to truly believe women do not deserve to be treated as such, this type of toxic masculinity will not go away. I thought this article from The Toronto Star made a good point.

Well, this turned rather serious didn't it?

On a lighter note, I'm currently crushing on cropped wide leg pants. I don't know why—they don't fit my lifestyle at all. I think they look better with a bit of a heel and bare ankles, neither of which I can do (fall came to Montreal this week and it's chilly here!).

I don't know if it's cool to shop at The Body Shop anymore—when I was in elementary school there was nothing cooler than having one of those pots of neon lip goop from The Body Shop—but they were having a big sale so I stocked up on body butter for the winter. I love it and find it helps stave off dry itchy skin over the colder months.

I love lists of new books! I'm always on the hunt for something good to read.

Do you have a capsule wardrobe or participate in closet challenges? I don't, but it's sometimes fun to follow along on Instagram.

We haven't decided what to make yet for brunch this weekend. May our tried and true pancake recipe?
