Wake us up when this week is over (yes, we know it’s a four-day week.) Fortunately we’ve got the perfect cure for post-long Memorial Day blues and a festive pickup for the weekend. 11 Howard’s the blond‘s, Glitter Bug might not have glitter inside, but it sure makes you feel sparkly. We won’t spoil it for you so get over there and check it out for yourself. But if you’ll be enjoying the weekend in bed, here’s the recipe for this gem:
