The company that creates these cases is called Appetite and thankfully has an Esty store, so we can check out its other cute designs.
What's the Deal With: Leptin
I have come across the word "leptin" a lot recently and instead of just skimming over it and knowing it is vaguely related to weight, I thought I'd do a bit more research.
Leptin (from the Greek word leptos meaning thin) is a hormone that helps control appetite and metabolism. In a normal weight person, when body fat increases, leptin levels rise which signal the brain that it needs to speed up metabolism and decrease appetite.

Etsy Find: Appetite Home Fern Pillow
It's been a while since the pale yellow and gray trend made its debut, but the color pairing hasn't lost its appeal on me. I'd be a proud lioness if this Appetite Home White Yellow and Grey Fern Pillow ($28) were mine.

Monday's Leftovers: Warm Kielbasa and Lentil Salad
In Poland, pork sausage — like yesterday's leftover kielbasa — is traditionally served with fried onions, sautéed pierogi dumplings, or potatoes, but if you're looking for something that's a little lighter, consider an unusual kielbasa and lentil salad.
Here, the kielbasa is drained of most of its fat, combined with tender lentils and skillet-browned fennel, tossed in a mustard vinaigrette, and served with crunchy frisée leaves. Make this nutritious salad alternative when you read more
Lemon Custard Cakes Are Lusciously Delicious
Every once in a while, I'll be browsing a food magazine and come across a recipe that I simply must make.
