The weekend is here, what a relief!
I'm looking forward to a weekend with zero plans so I can relax and catch up on things. It's been really hard finding time to schedule posts and read all the blogs I love out there. I love my job but I seriously have a never-ending list of things to do so I often lose track of time at the office and eventually have to pull myself away from the computer when I look at the clock and realize everyone left an hour ago. Then that 45 minute commute home...
So this week was busy but it was a good one! Except on Tuesday. I woke up with hives on my legs that were itching and spreading by the minute. Instead of going to work, I went straight to Urgent Care and they were able to give me some meds that completely stopped the allergic reaction. I don't think I've ever had an allergic reaction in my life so this was just weird. After racking my brain about what could have caused this, I found the unfortunate culprit.
For the record, I've never been allergic to any Tide products and it's one of my favorite detergents but for some reason the Tide 3-in-1 PODS are the devil on my skin. So unfortunate!
Ok so time for some positivity in this post because that's what we need to start the weekend right?!
ONE
I've been planning Kate's Baby Shower next month and the details are so exciting but it's a surprise so I can't wait to share after it's all said and done!
TWO
I'm still dreaming of Jamaica and hoping I can get all my photos organized this weekend since it's supposed to be a relaxing one.
THREE
I'm making my way to Canada next week for a family reunion that happens every 5 years. I don't see my extended family often enough but coincidentally we just got to spend time in Jamaica together so we get to reunite twice in one year. I love my cousins!
FOUR
Lola loves her pink Kong Rubber Bone
and I love how much it keeps her occupied when I'm trying to get things done or even watch TV. She even poses for pictures with her pink bone! lol

ReplyDeleteOMG Lola and her bone. Too cute! And so glad you figured out what caused your hives quickly and got that taken care of. So scary! Enjoy your relaxing weekend girl! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteOhh no about the hives :( I'm not sure if it's something in all tide products, but I only use the free & clear because my skin is so easily irritated by everything. I can't wait to see what you do for Kate's shower & that picture of Lola is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to need to snag that bottom thing and share it. That is spot on!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for a relaxing weekend! I'm looking forward to a mostly relaxing one as well.
So awesome that you get to see your cousins twice in one year! Looks like a fun crew.
Uggh so sorry to hear about the hives! We use All free & clear and love it! Cannot wait to see everything you have planned for Kate's shower. Have an awesome weekend.

That is awful about the Tide but at least you were able to figure out what it was from! Now you can steer clear! Lola is too cute with her pink bone! She should be a dog model! I cant wait to see what you have planned for Kate's shower! Shower planning is so much fun! Have a great weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteI love that last quote, it is so true!!! Lola is jut adorable with that bone! I think I need to get Mac one! Poor little guy, the regular kong is too big for him to hold on to and it is what we had for Gracie and I just assumed he didn't like it much but seeing hers in her paws...I think maybe it was because he couldn't hold it correctly. Anyways, so exciting you get to see your family again!!! Cant wait to see what you do for Kate's shower! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable is Lola with her bone - LOVE! And all the feels about the baby shower, you girls are seriously the best and I'm excited to see what you've been planning! But eeeek about your hives! Glad you were able to find out what the culprit was, and hopefully it won't happen again. Happy Friday gurlie <3

Love that quote! Sorry about the hives. I have sensitive skin and can't have good smelling detergent, it stinks! Enjoy your weekend, catch up and relax! So exciting about the reunion!
ReplyDeleteYay for a weekend with no plans-sometimes those are the best. :) Love the photo of Lola with her Kong toy! Can't wait to find out the surprise with Kate's baby shower!
ReplyDeletelol @ fri-nally, i don't think i have ever seen that before haha. love that quote, and that family reunion looks so fun! hope you have a fabulous time. can't wait to see everything you do for kate's shower, i bet it will be fantastic. i am sorry about the tide pods, allergic reactions suck. i haven't tried tide before, but my skin has definitely broken out in hives over laundry detergents before. so annoying!
ReplyDeletehave a good weekend girl!
Hopefully work will slow down for you soon, but it's always nice to be busy at work too because it helps the days to go by fast! I'm throwing a baby shower for a friend in October too! I'm the worst at planning cutesy stuff, so I'm excited to have some help from another one of her friends. Enjoy your relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've had hives once and it was terrible so I totally feel for you! I'm glad urgent care was able to fix it quickly. And I can't wait to hear about the shower! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteYay for a relaxing weekend of nothing. So cool you're planning kate's shower. Cant wait to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you figured out the Tide thing!! That really sucks though! Lola is SO cute with her Kong! Very proud, haha!! How cool that your family reunion is in Canada. Random location or do you have a lot of family there? Have a great (relaxing) weekend girlie!
