I love starting off the week on a positive note - and for me, that meant taking Sunday afternoon and indulging in a little Treat Yo’Self time. I dropped the hubby off at the golf course with his buddies and made my way down to Potomac Mills. (You can read all about it and see what I bought here!) I hadn’t been in YEARS and I was thrilled with the goodies I found!
Monday always tends to put a damper on things, but this week, I carved out time to visit with my good friend Betsy! (LIFE HACK - make time for friends! Netflix will always be there, friends don’t always work the same way.) We chatted over coffee and talked about our goals, dreams and plans. I felt instantly refreshed after our hangout and ready to conquer the rest of the day (which was spent working until about 7 PM.)
Luckily, my hubby ordered Blue Apron for us to try, which we did that evening. The food was amazing - the best part isn’t even how tasty the food is…it’s that I’m learning to do all these awesome, new ways to cook! I made jam the other night. JAM! Right after I shot this look and a smoothie recipe coming up on Monday!
I’m usually SO LATE to everything in life, and this year, I’m ahead of the game with my Father’s Day gift! For once. And I shared my top gift picks from Uncommon Goods earlier this week - you can find it here if you’re still on the hunt for the perfect pressie.
Wednesday I met up with super babe Lauren Louise for coffee and a little shoot! I can not WAIT to share the images with you! I also tried a matcha latte. Probably wouldn’t repeat that experience. But it did make for a great Instagram!
Got my thousandth wedding invitation in the mail this week. Is anyone else like “WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING MARRIED AND HAVING BABIES RIGHT NOW?!” I shared a few wedding guest dressing tips on the blog (like whether it’s ok to wear white and the best jewelry to wear!)
Thursday I stopped into the Greenheart Juice shop with my babe Jen for my Strawberry Fields fix. It’s SO freaking tasty. I’m addicted. It’s basically milk that helps with beauty - and I need all the help I can get. ;) jokes. I also went on a 10-mile bike ride for the first time this year…so if you’ve ever been close to death, you’ll know how I felt.
Yesterday was magical - while I spent most of the day working, I was able to slip away for a moment to eat an ice cream sandwich from Baked & Wired and see two of my favorite people, Erin and Luke. We may have taken a few photos.
So tell me! How was your week? Are you SO happy it's the weekend?!
