Is it just me or did this week go by super fast!? Obviously I’m not complaining! I guess that’s what happens when it was already a short week due to having an extended weekend of wedding planning in New Orleans, then being super busy once I returned to Dallas due to a last minute HUGE life decision Chris and I recently made. Speaking of last minute huge life decisions, it basically left me with a one week notice to get my sh*t together. More on that to come next week! I hate to be that blogger that hints at things and just leaves y’all hanging, but I just feel the news deserves a post of its own. I promise I’ll give all the details of what we’re up to soon!
In the meantime, I rather talk about what I’ve been loving lately. As simple and random as these posts are, they are some of my favorite blog posts to read because I always end up discovering something I never knew I needed.
Here’s what I’ve been loving lately:
1. Probiotic skincare products
Since my wedding is less than 6 months away, I’ve been more cautious about my face than ever. I recently decided to try Tula since everyone in blogland has been raving about it and so far I’m loving it! I can’t wait to see what a difference my skin is after a few weeks of use. I also love the fact that it’s made with probiotics to fight free radicals and doesn’t have all the harsh chemicals like other products.
2. At-home gel manicures
I’ve been using this at-home gel manicure kit for about a year now and I’m loving how much money it has saved me by not going to the salon every 2 weeks. I also love the convenience of doing my nails in my own home. It’s worth every penny!
3. Avocado in smoothies
Avocado in smoothies must be the new thing because I’ve been seeing it everywhere lately! This avocado pineapple smoothie is the best one I’ve tried yet!
4. Tassels, tassels, tassels!
Tassels on bags, tassels on shoes, and tassel jewelry- you name it, I love it!
5. Birthday weekends
With all the craziness, also known as life, that’s been going on lately, I almost forgot that it’s my birthday weekend! I’ll be 27 on Monday and I’m not liking how that number sounds. Yikes! But then birthday perks like half off at Kendra Scott and the free Tory Burch birthday gift make up for it, so it looks like I have some shopping to do!
Happy Friday y’all! I think Chris and I will also be doing our wedding registry this weekend, so any recommendations on where to register is appreciated. Right now I’m leaning towards Macy’s, Crate and Barrel, and Bed Bath & Beyond. I’m excited!
Ps- if you haven’t entered yet, I have a PayPal cash giveaway up for grabs! Enter here!

Happy happy upcoming birthday! I hope you have the best birthday weekend ever.
I’m definitely going t have to check out the probiotic skin care stuff though-my skin needs some serious help.

I’ve never tried avocado in a smoothie before! Sounds interesting. I’ll have to try that soon.

I also have a love affair with avocados and tassels!!
Leah says
I love anything with avocado, but I must look into the gel manicure! I love those, thanks for sharing!
Bree Hogan says
Avocados in smoothies are the best! I’m also a huge fan of at-home gel manicures – so much more convenient and so much cheaper! Happy birthday weekend!
Jenny says
Yay creating our registry was so fun! I am still adding more stuff to it randomly but I really enjoyed that process for some reason. Hope you have an awesome weekend.
xoxo, Jenny

I just discovered avocados in smoothies – what a game changer! And I just bought some new tassels today for my planner. 🙂
I hope you have a great birthday!

I wanted to love at home gel manicures, but I could never get them go look right. Kudos to you for getting it to work! 🙂
