Weekend: Happy Hour & Productivity

Hi everyone! Hope the weekend treated you well and you're feeling recharged on this Monday. 

I don't have many exciting things to share from the weekend because it was spent being productive around the house in preparation for my guests this week. I did manage to fit some relaxation and girl time in there.

On Friday evening after work, I met up with a girl friend downtown for some happy hour drinks. We had a drink at World of Beer and then hopped over to a cute Hawaiian bar for a delicious lavender cocktail. 

On Saturday morning K and I watched the movie Blue Jasmine which was pretty interesting but I don't particularly like abrupt endings. I then went to a much-needed facial appointment and I have to say my face feels amazing! It's always great to get pampered and give your face a good clean especially for people like me that wear makeup on a regular basis.

The rest of the Saturday was spent Spring/Summer cleaning followed by grilling some steaks for dinner and finally settling down late night to watch Taken 3.

*Some random scenes from the weekend*

Sunday consisted of more cleaning, weekly food prep, and blogging. I made pesto shrimp alfredo with whole wheat fettuccine for lunch and then headed out to get some quick home shopping done since we desperately need to upgrade some of our mats and throw pillows.

I have to say it was great to get some downtime from my typically busy schedule.

Friday Favorites

Well this week just zipped by didn't it? I'm definitely happy about that and thankful to have nothing special planned for the weekend except a whole lot of cleaning before some guests arrive next week.

My best friend arrives Monday and leaves Thursday and then some more friends arrive Thursday night and leave the following Monday. Funny it worked out that way but needless to say I'm going to be busy and not sure how much time I will have to focus on blogging. I am looking forward to catching up with some of my favorite girlies from home.

Other than that, I'm happy to finally be the new owner of a tiny Macbook Air after the incident earlier this year with my other computer. Thankfully I have a laptop from work that held me over for almost 3 months but I really needed to get my own for personal use. Let the fun begin!

I'm going to keep this post short and sweet like this week and hopefully today decides to do the same for us so we can get the weekend started!

Summer Rompers

I stumbled upon Sheinside's website randomly last week (from a Facebook ad) and clicked over to find a page full of rompers that I immediately fell in love with. Almost every single one of them were unique and gorgeous and they're all in the $14 to $20 price range. The have a great variety of styles but these are probably my six favorite rompers for summer days and well now in Florida (it's currently in the 90s during the day).

I'm really trying not to shop at the moment but I do need outfits for our upcoming trip to Vegas in July. Needless to say it's going to be hot so I'm in need of some light outfits and coverups to tour the strip and go to the pool. Their buy one, get one 50% off and free shipping makes it even more tempting to purchase all of them.

And some dressier options for nighttime wear (not from Sheinside).

Memorial Weekend 2015

Sometimes sleeping in on a Monday is all you need to feel refreshed for the new week. That and knowing this will be a short work week makes it that much sweeter.

After work on Friday we headed two hours west to Sarasota to visit my in-laws for a couple nights. We all went out to dinner to celebrate my MIL's birthday at Texas Roadhouse. It was good to spend some quality time with them. After dinner we met up with some friends downtown for some beverages and catching up. I didn't manage to snap any photos from this night.

On Saturday morning, K and I headed to Siesta Key beach and luckily got perfect weather.

 We lounged in the sun for several hours and then we went to Siesta Key Oyster Bar in the village for some lunch.

On Sunday morning we started our short road trip home. Lola also came with us for the weekend and stayed with my in-laws while we went to the beach and out and about.

Sunday afternoon was a friend's baby shower which was fun catching up with friends and seeing some new babies in the group.

Monday was pure relaxation. I binge watched Kendra On Top while blogging and then got some stuff done around the house. Late in the evening K and I did some grilling for dinner to cap off Memorial Day.
