*NEW* Mood Playlist
Bored. And Moving On...
Bored but not for long. Step away from the dull, annoying, frustrating mood and step toward something fun, something interesting. Call a friend, go out for a walk, go somewhere new, or bake something fun. Baking is a sure-fire way to shift away from the mood and mix things up.
Don’t settle for boredom, explore the possibilities. Use this playlist as a reference on your way toward adventure. Move on from feeling bored and bake!

Rainy Afternoon
Rainy afternoons - they’re made for baking. Leave the cold, wet, uncomfortable weather outside and stay in, under a warm blanket, with a hot cup of tea. Thoughts of freshly baked cookies, honeyed fruit salad, warm buttered bread, and spiced affogato come to mind. It seems like the perfect opportunity to bake, relax, bake some more, and take some time to enjoy the rainy day.
This Mood Playlist is about just that – it’s about the warmth of baking...

Bored. Just Bored. *cont’d*
Bored, once again. It’s dull. It’s annoying. It’s so predictably frustrating. And it’s 100% normal. Time slows down and there’s nothing left to do but to wait it out. Wait it out and bake.

Fun and Carefree
Enjoying a playful mood when it’s fun, carefree, and imaginative feels delightfully effortless. It’s uncomplicated, easy to get lost in, and childlike in its simplicity. Remaining in this mood and enjoying a few deliciously sentimental treats along the way is a vibe.
