Happy Saturday and Happy MARCH!

What?! February flew by so quickly and spring is just around the corner. I’m still wrapping my head around it because it sort of feels like the holidays were just a couple of weeks ago. I hope you had a wonderful week and get to do something you enjoy this weekend!

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

Traditional Mardi Gras King Cake – Celebrate Epiphany or Mardi Gras (or any other day!) with a homemade king cake that's as festive as it is delicious. This sweet, cinnamon sugar-filled bread ring is topped with a simple glaze and colorful sprinkles in purple, green, and gold.

Most Popular Product Shares This Week:

1. Color Wow Dream Cocktail - I asked my husband for this for Christmas, and I absolutely love it! My hair has definitely become thinner over the last few years, and this gives the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. A go-to now, for sure.

2. BruMate Resa 35oz Travel Tumbler - I do not own this, but shared it as one of the mostly highly recommended water bottles when I asked for recommendations.

3. Weekly Planner Notepad - I bought this in November because, even though we have and use a Google calendar, apparently, if I don't look at it, I forget what's going on. This has been SO helpful, I fill it out each week and put it on the fridge. It's also been great because the kids have always routinely asked "what do we have tomorrow?" or "is there anything going on after school today"? Now it's all right there, and they look at it every day and know who has a practice or after-school activity, doctor's appointment, or anything else. I LOVE this!

4. Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick - This continues to be my very favorite lip balm, and the kids use it, too.

5. USA Pan Loaf Pan - A kitchen staple! Perfect for making your favorite bread recipes.

6. Cole & Mason Salt and Pepper Mill Set - We recently bought this set for ourselves as we were badly in need of replacing our salt and pepper shakers, which were at least 12 years old. These are a bit of a splurge, but they're gorgeous and would also make a fabulous gift!

7. The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins – I haven’t read this book, but many people have read it and have recommended it.

8. Dishwashing Gloves - I finally bought a pair of dishwashing gloves; I've never owned a pair but my hands have been taking a beating this winter, and they have helped so much when there is a sink full of dishes to wash!
