friday favorites

Hope everyone had a wonderful week! Almost forgot it was Friday because I have been working nonstop for over a week and in desperate need for a day off to do nothing all day! A friend recently texted me asking how my 1428 jobs were going… a bit of an exaggeration, but sometimes it feels like I am always working. Between balancing my job in retail semi part time, the job at the college part time and keeping up with my blog everyday, I don’t know how I get any sleep! Tonight I am staying up past my bedtime after a long day of work to go over this weeks Friday Favorites. Enjoy! Continue reading “friday favorites”

Happy April! I feel like spring is finally here with this warm weather slowly arriving. My usual work wardrobe is different shades of black because most of my winter wardrobe is black and I can make a chic outfit in seconds. However, lately I have been choosing more color in my outfit choices. With a pop of pink or accessorizing with pastel jewelry I can get in the spring spirit! I have spent the week decorating the house with our spring decor and doing some work in the garden getting ready for the summer flowers to bloom! Continue reading “friday favorites”

Happy Friday! This was such a long week that felt like it dragged on forever! I had a lot of exciting things happen in my personal life lately including reconnecting with old friends and making new friends.

Sometimes we need to reach out and make plans with an old friend and grab coffee or end the night with a face mask and a glass of wine to break away from our repetitive routines. I wanted to share some of my favorite things in my life with all of you guys. Continue reading “Friday Favorites”

I have creative friends who are off in the world creating beautiful things. (note: I am not the creative friend, I don’t even know how to doodle correctly!) A high school friend of mine, Kim, went to FIT in New York City for college to study advertising design. When we got brunch during breaks we would talk about her portfolio and the projects she was currently working on as I would just sit there in awe and amazement. . After college, I took a boring desk job and my day consisted of making photocopies and routine desk tasks. However, Kim would tell stories of working on advertising campaigns and being in the office until midnight working on deadlines. I have always admired my friend for her creativity and passion when it comes to advertising. She thinks of the smallest details and adds bows to presents. In high school we had to wear uniforms and with the right accessories, she was able to put her own spin on the same skirt and shirt we all wore. Today she is creating some competition for Martha Stewart because it seems like she is always in the kitchen baking, crafting or taking photos of her adorable bunny! Continue reading “Paperennials”

Packing Tips

Wait, didn’t I just pack this suitcase last week? A week and half ago I left the airport to go to Atlanta, Georgia and today I am all packed back at the airport to go to Florida. A few years ago I never left the state except to drive to Pittsburgh to see family. However, now I feel like I am traveling a few times a year visiting new places. Continue reading “Packing Tips”
