I’m heading to the airport this morning for a quick weekend trip to New York to visit family. It’s a short getaway, but I’m excited to leave Atlanta for a few days, do some shopping, and enjoy the city. Fingers crossed the weather stays mild. Any recommendations for Brooklyn?
Before I leave, I wanted to share a selection of favorite DIY projects—small, fun crafts focused on fashion and self-care that are perfect for warming weather. These are easy weekend projects that make great accessories or pampering treats. Click the links to view full tutorials.
