The Saturday Sip: October 19, 2024
Here's your etiquette tip, quote and an Emily Post Cookbook recipe to start your weekend off right!
The Tip
Post-Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert, remember to keep your voice’s volume in check around others. The tendency is to shout after being in a loud environment for a prolonged period of time. (That is if you have a voice the next day after screaming and singing along all night!)
The Recipe
Since Lizzie’s birthday was on the 18th and she loves Cinnamon Coffee Cake, we’re sharing one of her favorite Emily Post recipes this week, and it happens to be great for a fall morning!
