Five on Friday || Ready for the Weekend

ONE|Secret’s Out 

TOMORROW morning Jack’s family and I head down to Saint Martin! I am super excited and am looking forward to clear blue water, skies, and some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Cheers to a fun vacation!!

TWO|Perfume

Last night at Nordstrom Sara introduced me to what could be my next {expensive} obsession, Jo Malone. I took home a sample of the Peony & Blush Suede Cologne and am going to try it out for the next few weeks. Anyone have a good suggestion out of the many scents that they love? Suggestions needed.

THREE|B-Cycle

I found this photo of me and my bestie, Alyssa, when she visited Charlotte in April. We had such a fun time renting bikes and riding them all around town. This is going to be one of my favorite activities to do this summer.

FOUR|The Bar Method: Charlotte-SouthPark

Tuesday and Friday 6am class has become tough this past week. Between the 4/5^ths week and the longer summer days I cannot seem to drag myself out of bed. Soon, the SouthPark studio will open up, but until then they are offering FREE classes. Sign up for free community classes here.

FIVE|1989

June 8^th cannot {until after my relaxing time in SXM} come soon enough because… I am going to Taylor Swift: The 1989 World Tour !!!  I am suppppper stoked! I have been looking forward to this for a really long time and cannot believe the time has almost come. From her outfits, to sets, to live music I cannot wait!! #WelcometoChalrlotte

Thursday Thoughts with ETB | 5.21.15

I think...

it was time for a new iPhone and I finally upgraded..only to a 5 though #thanksJHG

watermelon and I are meant to be together

6 am workouts really increase my energy levels and happiness for the day #CLTbarMethod

every weekend should be a 3 day weekend... wishful thinking

this weekend is special because I get to see my two good friends get married here in Charlotte and TWO of my good friends will be in town to celebrate!! #finallyAChandler

after being apart from Jack for the past 19 days it makes me more appreciative for the days we get to spend together 

the Bachelorette is going to consume my Monday nights, along with a glass of vino #teamClint

green tea is going to be my summer time drink, thanks Starbucks

                        It's Thursday...and I am linking up with: Meagan

Five on Friday || Finally Friday!!

ONE|BFF

One of my best friends, Alyssa, and her boyfriend, Sam, are visiting this weekend from Michigan. I am looking forward to a fun filled weekend with them + Jack. Tonight we are going to Science on the Rocks: Geek Out, Freak Out.

TWO|Coasting

If you didn’t see my post on Instagram, you missed out on these awesome coasters that my brother gave me for my birthday. They are one of a kind and I have loved using them at work and home.

THREE|Wedding Season

This past weekend kicked off Wedding Season for Jack and me. We celebrated The Hargrave’s and had a wonderful time in Mount Airy.

 

FOUR|Wine

A close friend of mine sent our group text this picture and it perfectly describes my week. #itsclassy

  

FIVE|Pound Cake

Over the weekend I celebrated my birthday with Jack’s family. His wonderful mom made this pound cake and whipped cream from scratch.I wish that I had some right now, it was marvelous.

TWO|A new Boyfriend

I picked up this Poplin Boyfriend Shirt a few weeks ago at Old Navy and LOVE it. It’s a perfect shirt to pack for my trip next week AND it’s on sale right for $20.00 + and extra 30% off Sale with code ONSAVE. I am thinking about getting the pink pin striped I’m a 4/6 and I ordered a small.

THREE|Chips and Salsa

This week some of my Life Group gals and I celebrated our birthday of our friend, Allison. We had dinner, drinks, and lot’s o chip and salsa at Cantina 1511.

FOUR|Season Finale- The Bachelor 2015

I absolutely love watching The Bachelor and have loved watching all 19 seasons of the show, owning it! I was so happy that Chris proposed to Whitney and think that they are going to have a wonderful life together. I was somewhat disappointed by the announcement of the “Never in Bachelor History”  of having two Bachelorettes. I thought it was going to be a dramatic twist at the end of the show where Chris did something crazy, but nope! It will be interesting to see what happens with the two bachelorettes, especially putting the 25 men on night one with the ultimate say about who they think will make the best wife.  The next show will premiere on May 18 on ABC. #willyouacceptthisrose

FIVE|Jack-Jack

I am looking forward to spending time this weekend with Jack before I head out next week for Puerto Rico!?!

Thursday Thoughts with ETB | 3.12

I think...

I am unsure about the comeback of JNCO Jeans—anybody with me? #hello90s

these 80+ degree Charlotte days are making life so much enjoyable especially with the time change  

Aldi & Trader Joe’s are two of my most favorite places to get groceries –try Aldi out if you haven’t yet 

I really like the Aldi Intermingle California Red Blend Wine + its only $5.99 {prices may vary due to state & local laws} #takethattwobuckChuck

I’m going to Puerto Rico one week from today!! – I think I need to start packing

you should know that my brother and I live less than 2 miles apart, which makes it super convenient to have sibling nights

I am going to drink something green this weekend -- Maybe beer, maybe a smoothie #happyStPattysDay

linking up with Meagan has been a JOY of mine on Thursdays—you should link up too

              It's Thursday...and I am linking up with: Meagan

Thursday Thoughts with ETB

I think...

it’s time for me to get a new iPhone, its becoming hard to find an iPhone4 charger—thank you apple

where did February go? It’s almost March, which means spring forward… wahhh

snow days need to happen more often--- I LOVE when everyone gets out of their normal routine, slows down, and can play together outside thanks to the snow #lifemovestoofast

sparking / mineral water especially when in a wine glass makes me happy

booking my flight to Puerto Rico is getting me through the next few weeks #ineedavacation

being an adult is hard work, between bills, practices, meals, work, and everything else it is tough. Can someone tell me how to get it all done?

Ed Sheeran is AHHMazing. I don’t care what all you haters say #thinkingoutloud
