Thankful For Today


I'm thankful this week was a short one because it started off sluggishly after returning home from Nashville on Monday night. Nothing the weekend can't fix right?

While at the airport, I spotted this shiny object which made me get all excited. Has anyone seen a Benefit makeup kiosk at the airport before? Luckily I didn't have a whole lot of time to do much damage but how convenient is that to stock up on makeup while traveling?


On a slightly more obscure note,  I witnessed a high-speed chase as I was commuting home on Wednesday evening.  A mini van (of all vehicles) was tailgating behind me until he swerved through cars to escape the cops. It was quite a scary little scenario!


I'm excited to try something new and become a mentor for the College of Business Mentorship Program at my Alma Mater University. In the next few weeks I should find out who I've been matched with.



It feels like I haven't made a new recipe in months and since I've been on a major avocado kick recently, this BLT Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocado recipe sounds perfect!


With the new work schedule, weekends have become my only uninterrupted time to write and plan posts for the week ahead. Traveling and other weekend happenings have caused some radio silence recently but I'm hopeful the next few quiet weekends will help me get up to speed.


Speaking of that, I need to get my recap of Nashville together this weekend because it was a trip of a lifetime! A big thank you to Ashley and Missy for sharing some amazing recommendations for fun and food in Nashville!

Cheers to the weekend! I hope you have a good one!

  2. So happy it's Friday too! That is a scary scenario! My husband comes home every night with his high speed chase stories (he's a cop)...they are fun to listen too, but I would be so scared doing that lol. Hope you enjoy the weekend!

  4. I'm right there with you about needing the weekends in order to get my blogging done for the week! It just makes things so much less stressful and chaotic during the week. And why is it that the week after a long weekend always seems to go by slow? It's probably be used we spent so much time having fun, right? I can't wait to read all about your Nashville trip!

  9. Holy crappers about that car chase, and lol at it being a minivan! Those avocados look DELISH! And love those Benefit kiosks at the airport, there's one at the Hartford airport when we fly up to CT to see family, and I love that I can stock up on beauty items in case I forget to pack something. Happy Friday <3
