These cream-cheese frosted cinnamon rolls that I made for M’s birthday morning on Wednesday are seriously what dreams are made of. Sweet rolls + breads are my favorite thing to bake- I find kneading buttery, yeasted dough incredibly therapeutic, especially after a long, physically-demanding week of dancing + yoga.
So when I say that this recipe by @ambitiouskitchen is the best one I’ve made to date, you know I mean it. 🙌 I highly suggest you make a batch this weekend (recipe is on her site under “best cinnamon rolls”). Happy Friday lovelies! ✨

It’s this guy’s birthday today!! We’ve spent the past 5 of his birthdays together already and here’s to many more to come. ❤️
The celebrations began early this morning with cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven and will continue with more good food, music, friends and definitely a lot of cake. The happiest of birthdays to you, hyati. 🎂🎉 (P.S. let’s go back to Sweden- where we took this photo together)

Can we pretend wanderlusty is a word for a second? Because that is how I’m feeling lately. I’ve got the travel itch and I’m thrilled to say that it will soon be scratched. Stay tuned ☺️🛫
P.S. This photo is from the quaint streets of Basel, Switzerland almost exactly a year ago when I was doing a choreolab there. Such a lovely city✨

As much as we need to live in the present moment, it also always helps to have a little something joyful to look forward to in the future. For me, that’s Sunday pancakes. Every. Single. Week. ✨🥞
This recipe is still one of my favorites and I’ve made it too many times of count- protein-packed Banana Bread Chia + Chickpea Flour Pancakes. Sure they sound healthy-ish, but I assure you, they taste like dessert 🤗🙌 {you can find them in the recipe archives on the blog}

Happy Saturday, friends!
I taught an extra class this morning and arrived a bit early to do some yoga, stretch, improv + a little bit of strengthening. I always love my solo sunny studio time. ☀️
Now, however, all I feel like doing is crashing on the couch, watching new episodes of the good place, and maaaybe making some banana bread.
What are you all up to this weekend?

It’s really about time that I put together an official list of my favorite spots in Tangier, isn’t it? 💁🏼‍♀️ Who’s interested?
This little cafe, by the way, is my absolute favorite place to meet friends, do some work, or have a giant salad for lunch. It’s worth the hike up the super steep kasbah hill to get there 👌

Suggestions for your Tuesday: •Vote, if you’re a fellow American and haven’t already (just found out my absentee ballot was successfully delivered!). 🇺🇸
•Take a walk outside, notice the details, take some deep breaths and clear your head. 🌿
•Make something warm + sweet + comforting, like a chai-spiced date + apple crisp, for example. Share with people who bring you joy. 😌 {this recipe is in the blog archives!}
Hope everyone has a lovely day! ✨
