Happy Sundayy beautiful people! Currently sipping on a hot cacao frothy latte (I can’t get enough) and curled up inside. It has been a rainy weekend on the west coast all the way to a snowy weekend on the east coast so I asked you all what your favorite activities are to do on a rainy/snowy day and compiled a list of yours and my favorites:
Rainy (or Snowy) Day Activities
Deep cleaning + organizing
Cooking (loving soups, stews, chili) fav is grilled cheese & tomato soup
Baking (see the recipe I made today below)
Crosswords (can’t start my morning without the NYT connections, mini crossword + wordle)
Puzzles
Board games
Painting
Reading
Movie marathon
Curling up with a blanket and relaxing
Napping
Hot baths
Light candles
Sauna
Yoga
Sitting by the fireplace
Drinking tea + warm bevs
Homemade face masks + skincare
Walking outside after the rain calms (the best smell ever)
& speaking of baking, the most perfect thing to bake on a rainy day is this Orange Creamsicle Olive Oil Cake.
One of my favorite flavor combinations ever is orange & vanilla. This cake is light and fluffy. It melts in your mouth. It is made with no refined sugar & we’re using the abundance of DELICIOUS seasonal oranges at the markets. It is perfection, and absolutely beautiful.
