Friday Before the Long Weekend

Happy Friday!

I've been looking forward to this weekend for months now since we have a trip to Denver planned and we fly out tonight. Life has been extremely crazy recently so I only just started planning out some things to do. We did buy tickets for a Rockies game a while ago but other than that I really haven't had much time to research restaurants, main attractions, etc. Either way I know it's going to be a fun weekend!


Life has been busy but I managed to grab a celebratory lunch with the bestie at a local Japanese restaurant and had the most delicious bento box I've ever tried. It even came with a cute little yogurt dessert.


One of my favorite fashion finds this week are these adorable Starfish Rings from Alex & Ani. I have a "thing" for starfish and used the symbol in my wedding as a theme since it was a beach/tropical style wedding. According to various sources the starfish symbolizes perception, sensitivity, and feelings among other things.


I've loved Body Shop products since I was a teenager but rarely make time to go to the mall. I've raved about their amazing eye makeup remover several times before on the blog but a few weeks ago I picked up the new-to-me Seaweed Deep Cleansing Face Wash and I love how well it deep cleans my face after a long day yet it's gentle without a harsh smell. They actually have free shipping right now so it would usually be my time to stock up. 
 
In the healthy food department, these Apple Pecan Chicken Salad made with Greek yogurt looks amazing. I can't wait to try it when I return home from vacay.


 Happy Memorial weekend!

If you have any fun suggestions for things to do in Denver, I'd love to hear all about it.

  1. Have so much fun, Denver is a great city to explore. We've been twice and LOVE going each time. Here is a recap from our trip last year: http://pinkypersistence.blogspot.com/2015/07/rocky-mountain-fiiiiiiiiive.html
    Hightlihgts for food: Denver biscuit company [make sure you give yourself time there, super popular and a bit of a line but worth it], the pizza place next to DBC and Burger Bar right near the baseball stadium!

  10. Those starfish rings are so pretty, and are so you! Happy Memorial Day Weekend, have an AMAZING time in Denver! I may have to live vicariously through you since it looks like we might not be able to make it out there in a few weeks for the Yankees-Rockies game unless this stupid strike ends. That would be nice! <3

  13. OMG that bento box!!!! It has been forever since I have had a bento box. Probably the last time was when I lived in Atlanta and that was six years ago. Yikes! I am going to have to check out that face wash, I am a big fan of the body shop since they tend to be more natural. I hope you have a great time in Denver!!!!

LIast year I really wanted one of the sand dollar necklaces but waited too long & am so happy they're back again this year. I had no idea what a bento box is, but that looks like a pretty good mix! I hope you have so much fun in Denver!
