Online therapy: The 4 pick-me-ups you need today!

Some things just steal your breath at first sight, sound, taste, or touch, and here is a list of some pick-me-ups we found in the last week.

Online therapy: The 4 pick-me-ups you need today!

High On Pie apple pie

As a huge fan of all apple pies, I have to say getting everything right when it comes to pie is not always easy. High On Pie is a home-based bakery that started popping up on my Insta feed a lot, probably because I spend a lot of time googling pictures of pies, and one thing led to another, and I ended up ordering one! High on Pie also have other seasonal fruit pies on the offer, which I haven’t tried yet, but if the apple pie is anything to go by, they will be worth a shot too.

It’s lemons on a chalky blue base. You can’t get more Cezanne than this. If you’re ready to spring into summer, this is one of those designs that will really put you in the mind of the season.

The smokehouse burger at Espresso

Usually, I’m a classic burger kind of always-hungry person, but something on a random Saturday night told me to order the Smokehouse Burger off Espresso’s specials menu. Friends, I was not disappointed. While the patty was juicy and flavorful, the sauce, onion rings, and turkey/beef slivers made this particular burger truly ‘special’. Look out for this one the next time you’re at your neighborhood Espresso.

Any exfoliating glove

(This one’s from Elva)

There are a bunch of stores online selling these micro-exfoliation gloves and to be really honest, I never thought this would work for me, with my long and painful and totally un-aesthetic battle with keratosis pilaris. And the first time I used this glove, it didn’t work for me. Then I did more research and realized that more than 3-5 minutes of ‘soaking’ in a shower or bath are needed for the glove to work its magic, and while after three well-spaced-out uses I am not KP-free, I can feel – and actually see, for the first time – the difference.
