Have you seen this genius idea? Butter boards are trending all over TikTok and the internet. Cannabutter Board, anyone?
Meanwhile the price of butter is getting more expensive because of labor and supply shortages. Maybe this is a good time to experiment with plant-based butters? The price of eggs have also increased significantly, but don’t think that keeping chickens makes it any cheaper, those eggs aren’t free my friends. Stock up for the holiday baking season, or make friends with your neighbors who got backyard chickens during the pandemic.

Baking for mental health
I’m sensing that crunchy feeling lately, and it’s not the fall leaves crunching beneath my feet. Anyone else feeling extra stressed, exhausted, and running on empty? Be kind to yourself and don’t forget to refill your own tank. I’m saying aloud for myself too.

Stoner Nail Art
A pretty manicure that matches my joints? Be still my stoner heart!
When my fingernails aren’t covered in flour or chicken poop (not at the same time), I’ll take a moment to feel cute with fun patterned nail wraps that are durable enough to withstand a beating in the kitchen and garden for at least a couple weeks. I’m smitten with this Tiger Mama pattern from Scratch x Papers + Ink collab.

Vol 7.5 // How to Make a Bodaciously Botanical Pumpkin Bong
High-deas gone wild! It’s amazing how cannabis can open up the creative side of our brain. I got together with Tiffany Gabrus of The Sweetzer Life, a sexy ass floral design boutique, to have some Halloween fun. After a few j’s, she said: “The pumpkin bong should BE the floral arrangement.” BOOM!
Next Sunday’s issue will be a step-by-step tutorial on how to carve and decorate a bodaciously botanical pumpkin bong of your own.
The phrase “butter my butt and call me a biscuit” is a U.S. Southern colloquialism that expresses surprise or astonishment.
XOXO, Christina W.
