It was a weekend of sweet relaxation and not much on the agenda except a ladies night. Most of Saturday was spent relaxing and doing stuff around the house and then lounging at the pool even though it was a little overcast.
Friday Faves
Friday, April 21, 2017
As always I'm relieved it's Friday! I can't even complain that I had a crazy week or anything because it was quite stress-free for a change. I'm just looking forward to a fairly quiet weekend with no big plans or traveling so I can enjoy some downtime at home.

Easter Weekend Getaway
Monday, April 17, 2017
We made our way over to Daytona Beach on Friday afternoon for a little weekend getaway. Not your typical Easter weekend but we both felt like some sunshine and relaxing were in order.
We checked into our hotel around 3pm and got settled admiring the ocean view from our room before heading out to explore.
We met up with some friends who were also visiting from Orlando and walked and walked (in the wrong direction) to go to a local Tiki Hut Beach Bar but finally made it there to grab a cold one. #Tourists.
After relaxing the feet for a bit, I browsed through some of the cute beach shops and even got a little airbrushed outfit for Lola.
In
the evening we found this gem of a restaurant with the best rooftop seating area to hang out and enjoy the views.
Saturday morning was overcast so we had a slow but relaxing start to the day with some coffee and breakfast at the hotel. The sun started making her appearance so we decided to go for a 2-mile walk on the beach towards where all the shops and restaurants are.
We stopped in Sloppy Joe's for a beverage and some coconut shrimp and then the heavens came pouring down so we were stuck there until the sun came out again.

Once the sun was out it turned into the most gorgeous day to walk around the Daytona beach boardwalk and just explore.
The last stop was at Ocean Deck for an early dinner and some live music. We were worn out with all the walking and a little too much sun so we went back to the hotel to call it a day.
I
slept for almost 12 hours on Saturday night. Blame that on the comfy
bed, blackout curtains, and of course all the sun we took in the day
before. In fact I was looking like quite the lobster.
On Sunday
the weather was perfect to enjoy some sunshine by the pool before
checking out of the hotel. We made one final stop for lunch
at Ocean Deck before making the drive back home in the afternoon.
It
was the perfect little getaway even though we didn't celebrate Easter
but the relaxing, sunshine & change of scenery was just what the
doctor ordered.
Joint the lovely Biana for her weekend linkup.
Beach Please
Friday, April 14, 2017
I mentioned earlier this week that we decided to do something different this weekend instead of hosting our usual Easter dinner for friends. It didn't take a lot of convincing to get K to agree to a beach getaway, especially since he had enough hotel points to cover our accommodations. As much as we love enjoying the company of friends, I think we're both a little exhausted from our work schedules and really need a break to relax.
I think everyone knows I'm a beach baby at heart and love all the beach fashion, accessories, and the essentials for a beach trip.
Bikinis
Of course bikinis are one of my favorite things to shop for and Target has been bringing out some impressively cute styles for an affordable price.
Beach Coverups
Most of these coverups are from Kohl's and I've noticed they've also recently stepped up their game in the swimwear and beachwear department.
Other Beach Essentials
Happy Easter weekend everyone!
We're on our way to enjoy some sweet sunshine and much needed R&R.
