Happy Friday! Since it’s a vacation week it doesn’t really feel like a Friday, but I’ll take it. Like most bloggers, I’ve been taking a bit of a break from creating content this week, but my post on money tree care went up this week on Apartment Therapy. While working on some other projects, I’ve been thinking a lot about my goals for the next year, but I’ll save that for another post. This one is about inspiration for this New Year’s Eve weekend. I don’t have any particularly exciting plans, how about you?

Great advice for how to end 2016 right, and ways to help make 2017 even better.

Need a 2017 calendar? This one and this one are both simple, and free.

This chocolate whiskey cake with salted caramel buttercream looks divine, but if you’re overloaded on sweets right now, this delicious-looking spicy arugula rice salad is on the wholesome side.

There’s still time to make these fun confetti coasters for New Year’s Eve.

If you need a bit of pampering this weekend, try your hand at making your own eye treatment mask.
