Weekend Home Picks & Cozy Decor Finds from Thistlekeeping

Every weekend, we gather the most charming decor ideas and finds from around the web

Random thoughts on a brilliantly sunny 20-degree Saturday morning:

1. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I love the Panera Sip Club SO MUCH. We got it over a year ago and now we have the twins all about it, too. You pay $11.99/month and you can have all the coffee, soda and drinks you can sip. We go through the drive-through and sit inside and work and sip all day long.

It’s so worth it if you work on your laptop or meet friends for coffee.

2. I went to a beauty luncheon this week with the beauty brand, Laura Geller. It was amazing. I sat next to Laura and she was the kindest, nicest, sweetest person ever. I’m also trying out their Balance-n-Brighten baked make-up (and it’s 40% off right now).

I tried it yesterday and it stayed on all day. I’ll report back after I’ve used it more. Have you ever tried it? Any tips?

3. I’m also working on a What I Bought Wednesday this week. Can you believe it? It’s been so long. I just found the best cleanser sponges that looks like a flat disk and when you add water they fluff up and make it so easy to clean your face.

Too good not to share.

You can see the sponge here.

4. This week on the blog we discussed:

• this story about one of my least finest moments
• 7 easy closet organizing ideas
• this DIY vintage book art project

5. Today is all about football and helping Denton learn about Instagram. He’s starting a new podcast that’s all about how to navigate the Internet safely and tips on how to protect your information online.

I can’t wait to share more.

And now?

Let’s see all the fun finds I discovered for all of us this week.
