Weekly Roundup and Some Faves


This week has been draining so I'm excited Friday is finally here and I can get a little break. Although I'm not sure how much R&R I'll actually get since my parents arrive today and, like any visitors, they want to get out of the house and do stuff. At least I'll get a break from the damn alarm clock. 

Things I did this week:
~ went to lunch with my team at a favorite Korean restaurant.
~ completed a module or two of the online photography course every night. I've really been pounding them out over the weekend and in the evenings so I only have 3 more modules before becoming certified!
~ started planning out the details of our trip to Barbados and my friend's bachelorette while there. It's about time since we're heading there in 4 weeks and I can say we may or may not have a fun boat cruise planned.

~ ordered an iPhone case from Amazon for my new rose gold 6s phone only for it to arrive and then realize I accidentally purchased the 6s Plus size case. #Fail
~ stuck to our meal plan and cooked healthy dinners every night.
~ organized our house and the guest bedroom for our visitors. 
~ had the best cheat treat from Wawa. The pumpkin cheesecake smoothie is amazing!


So the week wasn't terrible but days without work is always needed. Now some random faves and joining Amanda for her Friday Favorites linkup. 

I saw this quote on Instagram and love the message it sends.


This Chicken Enchilada Casserole recipe I found on Pinterest looks out of this world!


I posted about some of my Fall Fashion Finds earlier this week which includes faux fur vests and I found these four beauties at Forever 21 for under $50.

One of my friends posted this joke on social media yesterday and it had me laughing on and off for 30 minutes straight. I don't even know why but I have the weirdest sense of humor.
Go enjoy the weekend you pretty thing!

  2. I really like that first fur vest! Some of the ones I've seen people wear look really cheap (and of course they wear them over and over again with every outfit haha). These ones look really pretty.
    Sorry about ordering the wrong size case for the iphone--that stinks. Hopefully you can return it and get the right size!
    Have a great weekend girl!
