Ariana Grande Addressed "Concerns" Around Her Body And Weight In A New TikTok

Happy Wednesday!

Spring weather has been in full swing this week and it's got me focused purely on things that brighten my day. So today's recs all follow a theme of delightful spring splendor, from recipes using ingredients you can snatch at the farmers market (sunday morning goals) to a cozy, low stakes little game you can play on your phone. Enjoy! ✨

Whether you're a ramen-noodle-every-night kind of person or a wannabe food network star, everyone needs one really great pan in their kitchen. This one can basically do it all, and it comes in a delightful mint color.
I'm a sucker for cozy games and am newly obsessed with Boba Story, which lets you run your own boba shop all from your phone. You can even design the drinks yourself!
I always look forward to Hannah's recipe roundups that focus on seasonal ingredients and her spring list does *not* disappoint. Chef's kiss!
