February Box: Valentine’s Day
Hello friends!
We made it to February! January simultaneously felt like the longest and shortest month ever, somehow. I have to admit that the weird “too-long/too-short-January-paradox” threw me off, and I thought I had way more time to get these macarons done this month. Shout out to my lovely husband for holding things down while I hustled! 🙏🏽
Speaking of lovely husbands, February is obviously associated with love and Valentine’s Day, which obviously inspired this month’s flavors.
