Life Lately + Friday Faves


Happy Friday!

Life has been crazy busy lately, mainly in the work department so I apologize for being MIA. I've been working til 2 am most nights and then waking up at 6 am to head to the office. Thankfully, yesterday I got to work from home saving me the two-hour round-trip commute and giving me a mental break to focus on getting shit done.

Favorite Bridal Shower Gift Ideas



When it comes to Bridal showers, I usually buy something from their wedding registry and then put together a nice basket of fun goodies for the bride. This time around I chose gifts that are sentimental and/or useful on her wedding day and on their honeymoon.

5 Recent Purchases - For Me

TGIF! It's been a while since I've managed to post on a Friday.

Other than all the random household and pet items I purchase from Amazon, I really haven't done much shopping for myself in the last few months.

Happy Friday!

The work days this week seemed to drag on. Just when my body clock thought it was 4pm, the real clock said "Nope! we're only just approaching 2pm". Needless to say, I'm welcoming the weekend and hoping the weather plays nice so we can enjoy some outdoor fun. 

Pineapple Delight: Cute Home Decor



How sweet it is to be Friday!

Just like I have this fascination with starfish which represents serenity/peace, I think pineapples represent hospitality/friendship because of the sweetness it brings.

 Happy Friday!




I started my new job this week so I apologize for being MIA while I try to figure out how to balance work, life & blogging.

A Few of my Favorite Things


Morning friends!

Today I'm sharing a few of my favorite things, Fridays being one of them but I think that goes without saying. Yesterday I was at an all-day conference which was mentally exhausting so I'm going to jump right into sharing some positive things today....Things I truly love <3

Friday Faves

Yesterday's temps were the lowest it's been since 2010 in Central FL so we're feeling frosty around here and need all the warm clothes to bundle up.  Luckily I prepared early when I found some great sales on cute winter gear which arrived just in time!

Five on Friday


Happy Friday all! I'm excited that my parents and sister arrive today so I'll be off gallivanting with them for the next week or so. I hope you all enjoy the weekend.

The weather has been beautiful this week although the time change has messed with my sleep having me up way too early every morning. I'm looking forward to some fun with friends, relaxing, and probably some online shopping for Christmas gifts over the weekend.

What a week in terms of the weather in Florida. Waking up to the 40's on Monday morning and then back to 90's yesterday. Way to shock the system with the extreme highs and lows! I'll be content with consistent temps somewhere in the middle so we can feel some crisp "Fall" air.

Flashes of Fall - Fashion Faves


I love seeing all the cute Fall outfits my blogger friends are wearing up north and just wish we could experience a real Fall. The changing colors of the leaves and the cool weather makes me want to head to Nashville where our friends live to experience all the Fall foliage.

Yes it is "Friday the 13th" but I've never bought into all the superstition, maybe because I'm biased. My birthday is December 13th and, when it falls on a Friday, I think of it as good luck day.
 
It's all about turning lemons into lemonade, or even better, a margarita!

Cute Gift Ideas - The Lady Edition


One thing I love the most is celebrating special occasions with friends and family - birthdays, weddings, baby showers, engagements, you name it! I used to be a horrible gift-shopper until Amazon entered my life.

Shine Bright Like a Friday


It's that bright light at the end of the work week tunnel.

After returning home from Denver last week I caught a case of exhaustion and just needed to unplug after work to catch up on some rest. Denver was a blast but the altitude really dehydrates you, not to mention we kept busy on foot for most of the trip and also climbed up the 2 million stairs at Red Rock Park to watch a concert. It was all worth the exhaustion but hopefully this weekend will help me get back to 100%.

This week felt like it just dragged onnnnn and my job is by no means boring so I can't explain it but I'm so happy it's Friday and the weekend is near!

Let's get rocking and rolling with some faves from this week.

Interesting Finds: Home Edition


Summer Beauty Lusts

 

The summer heat in Florida is no joke! During the day we're at boiling temps and then the rain comes crashing down in the late afternoon leaving us with the worst humidity. Definitely not ideal for good hair days or keeping your makeup intact.

I went to ULTA yesterday to pick up some basic beauty essentials - Yes To facial towelettes, a makeup blending sponge, and my go-to Maybelline Falsies mascara for everyday wear.

Cute Finds: Baby Edition



This is no indication of baby fever or that I'm expecting. Simply that I've been enjoying shopping for all the babies coming into this world from some of my closest friends and seeing lots of blogger ladies announcing their pregnancy or birth.

Highlights from Mexico


Hello lovelies!
I've been away for a while but it feels good to be settled back home after four amazing nights in Mexico. We flew back home on July 4th which was full of delays in both Cancun and Orlando airport. Luckily Cancun airport is gorgeous with lots of shopping and restaurants. Orlando baggage claim was not so fun. Sitting on the floor and not being allowed to use your phone or electronics for over an hour because of thunderstorms and lightning outside was torture. The bitter part of a very sweet vacation in paradise but let's focus on the positives.
