Rainy Day Festivities

Include baking this perfect orange creamsicle olive oil cake

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.
