Low Key Weekend


The weekend was fairly quiet so nothing crazy to write about. We are traveling later in the week for the 3rd wedding I'm a bridesmaid in for the year so most of the weekend was spent shopping for odds and ends (sunblock, swimsuits, gifts for the bride) and organizing what to pack.

One of the things I bought the bride-to-be was this Soft Cotton Bride Sleepwear Set for under $25. I put together a whole gift bag for her with lingerie, perfumes, sleepwear and other bridal things.



On Friday I went to happy hour with some coworkers and then just relaxed at home for the rest of the evening with K and Lola, which was much needed!


On Saturday, K and I headed out to do some shopping and then had some empanadas for lunch at a small Colombian restaurant close to home.


On Saturday night I went to a charity event for the Special Olympics of Florida which I've attended for the past 5 years. The event included live music, Black Jack table games (with funny money), silent auctions, and food tastings from some of the best local restaurants. It was fun walking from tent to tent trying different tapas and I also got black jack on one my hands so I won a gift card to a local sports restaurant. It was a really fun night out with K and some of my coworkers.


 

Sunday was spent relaxing, blogging, food prepping and packing for our trip. I also tried out this Triple Cream Brie with Wild Mushrooms from Trader Joe's which is amazing with pita chips! If you like mushrooms and brie cheese then I definitely recommend it.


How was your weekend? Linking up with the lovely Biana.

  2. Cheers to a fun, chill and productive weekend. We had one of those too and it was quite fabulous. The gift set you bought is beautiful, I know the bride will love it. And oh my goodness, Lola is just so precious, just precious. Glad you had fun at the Special Olympics event. I've done a few things with SO and think they are one the best organizations out there. Happy Monday!

  4. I can't believe you're in three weddings this year! I was overwhelmed with two! It sounds like you had a blast this weekend, sometimes low key weekends are just what you need before some chaos ensues (like another wedding). That charity event sounds like so much fun!

  6. That looks like the perfect weekend of plans, but not being super busy that you're exhausted by the end. Plus, any weekend that involves empanadas is a good weekend in my book!
