    Love your local macaroon dealer. 😂🧡🧡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because without them you wouldn’t be able to have tasty and dreamy macaroons every week. And trust me, it’s a sad world without macaroons! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ours is @gisellerichardsonldn and her macaroons are to die for. We get them weekly at @primrosehillfoodmarket and let me tell you one thing: they never make it home! 🤫🙈🙈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    We love pizza. 🍕 🍕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We love pizza. 🍕 🍕 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It must be mostly because it’s in our blood, but when we want to go out for one or order one, we always look for the most authentic place. Because let’s face it, if it has chicken on it, it’s not a real Italian place! 🇮🇹 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here’s our 5 favorite places that we always go to in London. ✨✨✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite pizza place?

    Ehh, yes. We have a slight obsession with hats 🎩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Or better, between us, the one that owns most beanies and caps out of all of us is @cristina1994. And let’s face it, when she wears them she can rock them way better than all of us 🤙🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    🪴🪴 “Plants Make People Better” 🪴🪴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whomever said this couldn’t be more right! We love our little plants and our little corner with them. The house is almost full with little succulents and greens, so much that @simonarosano has been banned from buying anymore. 🙊🙊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Literally guys, there’s no more space for them... anyway, all this to say, take care of them and they’ll take care of you!🍀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
