Dining Out At Home

{ Via: My Pinterest }

With the world opening up city by city, so are the restaurants. In Chicago, one can only dine outdoors. We did just that last weekend for lunch.  Truthfully, I prefer to dine at home. I was a bit disappointed. Now is the perfect time to look no further than your own backyard, patio or porch for a meal that is safe and satisfying. If you plan to entertain, while social distancing this Summer, this post is for you.  Enjoy this edit of patio perfect pieces for dining out at home.

Masks: Stay Safe But Make It Fashion

{ Via: Tiffany La Belle }

Who could have guessed that a cloth face mask would be the "it" accessory of Spring and Summer 2020? Though, I mostly shelter in place, I have not left my home without one since mid March. The practice will continue throughout Summer, I am sure. We wear masks to protect others. It's the kind thing to do. By now, I find myself tiring of the masks I have, and am always on the lookout for more.  This roundup of chic cloth masks make a healthy necessity a 
fashion must!
