I have a funny story about the “makeover” you see happening here. But first, Happy Sunday to you! As I put together Scrolls each week, I usually have a favorite section, one that tugged at me a little more than the others. This week it’s the links at the end. So many interesting finds! A close second would be the Churro Crispy Treats ?. I can’t wait to hear which one is calling your name. Thank you for spending some time in our corner today – we love seeing you!

Making.

CHURRO CRISPY TREATS

• ??4 cups of the (unbelievably delicious) @sietefoods churro chips. We grabbed two mega-sized bags from @costco and then went back for another. Highly addictive + delicious!
• ?Melt 1-10 oz. bag of @mydandies minis on low heat + 1 T. of ? oil. The trick is, add 1 T. of water after about 3 minutes to help it melt best.
• ?Mix your churro chips with the Dandies vegan marshmallows and tamp down in a greased container.
• ? Freeze for half an hour.
• ? Drizzle with @lilys_sweets melted white chocolate & serve!

Reading.

I have an unbelievable page-turner for you next week, but I’m two chapters away from the end and I can’t recommend it until we know it’s worth your time. In the meantime, here are three of my all time favorites for personal growth. If you’re thinking of making a change in your life, big or small, start here:

Watching.

Mel Robbins has a new book out, and I can’t wait to dive in. She has been doing the press circuit and is dropping new-to-us nuggets of wisdom that are so insightful, empowering, and impactful. If you don’t want to watch, and would rather listen, you can find the podcast version, here.

Listening.

I love stumbling on a new-to-me podcast, and I’m hoping this one is new-to-you, too. They are bite-sized, digestible episodes that leave you feeling energized and thinking higher than you were before.

Feeling.

This first quote was a big one. I have become pretty mindful about what I consume food-wise, but when you think about it, everything mentioned below is just as important. What we “consume” seeps in and impacts us in different ways. Which quote in the slideshow were you needing most today?

Trying.

Ever wonder how the 50 states became abbreviated? I had no idea it took all the way until 1973 to happen.

So the funny story I alluded to above: Grey has been asking all week to give me a makeover. He recently saw some pictures of me from my television days wearing more makeup than I do now and wanted to try his hand at it ?. Below is the result. But that's not the best part. Just as he's wrapping up this gift of glam, our sweet neighbor texts and asks for help putting the finishing touches on his suit for homecoming. Imagine seeing that face up close, straightening your tie, and telling you how handsome you look! 

An aside - he schooled us about homecoming "mums" (which I had never seen before), and if you're crafty, you need to go into this business - they are so fun, wildly expensive, and a huge part of southern culture! 

I hope you take time to be silly, thoughtful, and JOYful with your people today, and I wish you the most wonderful week ahead!
