Hump Day Confessions

Linking up with Melissa


 


Hump Day Confessions



{one}
I confess that I'm trying to read more.
 Every spare minute I have, I have been reading.
I'm currently reading Dragonfly in Amber,
 the second book in the Outlander Series.
Happy to report that I'm almost half-way through, 
 reading here and there totally 
adds up. Thanks for the inspiration,Kerry.

{two}
I confess that I wear my jeans a few times 
(Ok, maybe more than a few times)
before I wash them. 
Nothing worse than stiff jeans.

{three}
I confess that I hate when people act like 
they are entitled to things in life.
You are not promised anything 
in this world. If you want 
something, you have to earn it. 

{four}
I confess that I have been single for sometime now.
It's so hard to meet a nice guy.
It makes me sad but it is what it is.

{five}
I confess that I can't cook, like at all.
It's really bad. Most nights, my sister cooks me dinner.
She is my roommate and likes to cook so, why not??
I do clean up, that counts for something, right??

Weekending & A Giveaway

Linking up with B Loved BostonChampagne and Suburbs for Weekending.



Happy Monday!!! 

Can you believe this is the last week of April??
Where has time gone?? 
I'm not complaining because it was a long winter and 
I'm really looking forward to the nice days that lay ahead.

Today, I'm sharing the picture from Disney's Cinderella The Exhibition which we saw
while we were in London. The exhibit included costumes and props from the Disney movie, which had yet to come out in the UK. It had over 100 props and  costumes from the film.
It even had the carriage Cinderella takes to the ball and of course, 
the glass slipper which was made by Swarovski.






These pictures do not do this exhibit justice. It was simply amazing.
Oh and the costumes, so fantastic. 

As a lifelong Cinderella fan, I was in heaven. They even had professional photographers take your picture next to the carriage. Of course, I had to do that and yes, you had to pay for that picture which I happily did. JenniSixx wanted no part of that.
Hence, why she isn't in the picture.


At the end of the exhibit you could even take a picture wearing the glass slipper which I
declined because my toes were not polished. haha #girlproblems.

Now, I just need to see the movie.
I heard it's fab. Just haven't had the time to see it.

GIVEAWAY TIME!!!

Up for grabs is a $150 Nordstrom gift card, a Harrods tote bag from Marie's recent travels abroad and a Lilly Pulitzer Pink beach towel from the LillyforTarget craze! Brought to you by my beautiful sponsors!

Friday's Favorites

Linking up with Meet @ the Barre.




FRIDAY'S FAVORITES



Song

See You Again by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth

This song is from the movie, The Fast & The Furious 7.
I haven't been touched by a song in awhile but this one really 
touched me. Just listen to the lyrics,
they are simply beautiful.

 It's a loving tribute to the late actor, Paul Walker.





Product

Old Navy Plaid Shirt

I saw this shirt at Old Navy and knew I had it have it.
Not only did I love color, I loved how lightweight it was.
Perfect under a little sweater for spring or on it's on 
for the summer. It looks so nice with jeans or navy pants.

Old Navy



Food

Friendly's Frozen Yogurt
Caramel Sea Salt Truffle

This frozen yogurt is so good!!
It's salted caramel frozen yogurt with 
sea salted filled chocolate candies.
One serving is 130 calories and enough to
fill my sweet tooth. Oh so yummie.
Friendly's 



TV

It's official!!
 Full House is coming back to TV!! 
It will be called Fuller House and will be on Netflix.
I loved this show back in the day!!
I'm so excited!!
People


Quote 

Thought this quote was perfect.
Only we can bring ourselves peace, no one else.

That wraps up my Friday's Favorites.
So happy that the weekend is here.
While it was a short week for me, it always feels longer.
Why is that??


Have a Wonderful Weekend.

What I'm Loving Wednesday and Hump Day Confessions

Linking up with Melissa, Jodi, & Rachel.


 




What I'm Loving Wednesday and 
Hump Day Confessions


{one}
I confess that I'm still watching way too much television.
I'm currently watching Empire. It is so GOOD!!
Cookie Lyon is the best and that wardrobe of hers!
Amazing!! 




{two}
I'm loving my new glasses. 
It was not easy to find a new pair.
After many many visits to various eyeglass stores, I finally found a pair.
I wore my last pair for years as I kept changing the lens and was 
really sad when that was no longer an option.
As I wear glasses EVERYDAY, I wanted a pair that I 
really really liked. I sort of was like whatever when I got them 
but now I love them.

*this picture is from London when I found the Massachusetts State Flag
 at the United States Embassy. Hence, the excited look.*

{three}
I confess that I do not like my teeth which is why I rarely show them
 in pictures. Funny enough,I do get many compliments
 on how nice my teeth are. I completely disagree.

{four}
I'm loving that spring has finally showed up.
It's about time. Although, now if places could 
just turn off their heat. Talking to you, office.
I would be really really happy. 

{five}
I confess that I already broke my shopping ban.
Thank you Lilly for Target!!!
Come on, it only happens once, right.
That is how I justified it.


What are you loving this week or what is your confession??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, 
the victims families and all the survivors. 


In Loving Memory of

 Rest in Peace.

Friday's Favorites

Linking up with Meet @ the Barre.



Thank God It's Friday.
Let's get right into it, here are my 
favorites this week.



FRIDAY'S FAVORITES



Song


Wind Beneath My Wings 

by Bette Milder

This is an old song but such a classic.
As of late, I have found myself in an reflective mood
 and as a result  have been
listening to this song over and over again.
It's such a beautiful song.




Product

PINK Toms

Two summers ago, I got a pair of pink toms and wore them every day.
I was utterly heartbroken when they wore out. They no longer 
make pink ones for women. However, they do make them for 
little girl's. So, I got myself a little girl's pair! 
A woman's size 7 is a youth size 5.
Cannot wait to start wearing them.

Neiman Marcus





Drink

Cold-Brew Iced Coffee at Starbucks

Have you tried the new cold-brew iced coffee at Starbucks yet? 
If you are a iced coffee drinker, you will LOVE this.
It's a smoother and less bitter coffee.
In a word, it's simply delicious.
Normally, I do not care for Starbucks' Iced Coffee as
 I find it to be very bitter.
However, I LOVE this. In fact, I liked it so 
much that I went twice this week to get some.
It is that good. 

Starbucks



Shopping


Lilly Pulitzer at Target

Sunday, April 19th

I am so excited for this!!!
Since I expect their website to be a disaster, I'm heading to 
my local Target right when they open to get my hands on this collection.
 Yes, I will be outside Target Sunday morning, waiting for them to open!!
CANNOT WAIT!!!

Target



QUOTE

This quote pretty much sums up how I have been feeling lately.

Pinterest


That wraps up my Friday's Favorites.
Normally, I would be excited that the weekend is here.
However, I have to work all weekend.
The only good thing is I'm off Monday
as it is Patriot's Day and also the Boston Marathon.
It's hard to put into words my thoughts on the Marathon.
Two years ago, Boston was rocked to it's core
and that somber feeling is still there.
 I don't think it will ever leave.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!!
