Happy long weekend! The week before a three day weekend always feels endless to me, but I’m so looking forward to a little rest and relaxation this weekend with spring temperatures in the air here in San Francisco. Cait is spending the next few days celebrating her birthday in Mexico, so be sure to follow her adventures on Instagram stories. I can’t wait to see all the photos she shares, but until then, we’ll all have to live vicariously through her. No matter where you’re spending the holiday weekend, we hope this week’s links will give you some ideas for slowing down and enjoying an extra day outside the office. What are you looking forward to this weekend?
