It's a little smaller around on all sides but still close to the same thickness. In total, it's about two ounces less - we'll be going down from between 5 to 5.5 ounces to 3.5 ounces (there will be a price reduction as the new bars filter in). Check out that wavy texture, tho! How fun is that?!
Denali (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/denali Denali (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/denali). The brown of a far-off mountain in the distance. The white of the clouds that gather at the peak, near the snow. The bright blue of the sky. They play together in an unmatched colorway; whether you want to make a pair of hiking socks or a hat and glove combo to keep you warm in the cold, whether you want to make an outfit for your outdoor-loving child or a shawl to throw over the shoulders of a loved one.... Denali will make you happy.

LITERALLY WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE, Y'ALL. When thinking of sweet fruit like pineapple, banana, and apple, sharp paprika is not the go-to, to sprinkle on top of that. But have you ever had a fruity drink, with the rim of the glass done up in spicy salt? This smells like that tastes! It's insane, but it works. Trust me.

Smart Goals

I told someone I was thinking of listing out the things I wanted to make sure I get done in 2020, and they were like, “ugh, that sounds way too much like New Year’s Resolutions” and I had a moment of …. Really? Because I think of resolutions as one …

Begin as you mean to go on

Lorena January 4, 2019 Navel Gazing3 Comments

I have a friend who says “begin as you mean to go on” at the beginning of the year; in other words, start January 1st with what you’d like to carry on throughout the year. Since my January 1st starts with family and friends and a big slow breakfast that …
