Weekend Update: Retail Therapy & More!

by Leave a Comment

Manic Monday…yeah run it’s really Monday. Insert exhausted sign. Seriously when you spend most of your life at the office working, when you come back in Monday morning it still feels like you just left. Can I get an Amen? So how was the weekend? Did you do anything fun? Mine weekend was kind of blah, but yet even in dull times shenanigans can happen.

1| Drama & Retail Therapy
So I am going to be vague to protect my friend but let’s just say she’s going through a very difficult time. Honestly what she is facing I have always feared. So just unspoken prayer for her. After a good cry session, I decided to partake in some retail therapy. Most weeks consist of placing an Etsy order so Saturday was no different. It would have been great if I stopped there, but Marc Jacobs Beauty was having their Friends and Family sale. What can I say I am a complete sucker for makeup and stickers.

2| Saturday Nights
I admit I am a bit addicted to Hallmark Movies. I love all of the new movies they are releasing. This past Saturday Royal Hearts premiered and it was rather good. So ever curious where I normally am at 9pm on Saturdays? Well know you know. Seriously spoiler alerts, but isn’t it ever girl’s dream to wake up as a Princess?

3| Frigid Pool & Summer Temps
Opening the pool up is a lot less fun than floating in it during the summer. However it’s a process we can’t really escape. The worst part of this part of the year is Mother Nature decided to skip spring in the South. The temperature is in the high 80s and the pool water is still frigidly cold. Seriously I can’t wait for the pool water to heat up so that I can enjoy summer time.

4|Sunday Funday: Laundry, Planning & More!
Sundays are always crazy. Is it like that for anyone else? I mean seriously it’s nonstop from the Sunrise to late in the night. I am always busy cooking Sunday dinner, which in the South you know is a big deal. While cooking I worked on Laundry, because lord knows I need clean clothes for the week. Since when did Tide Pods become adult proof…I mean really?

In addition, I spent time filling out my B6 planner for the week and catching up on Sunday night shows that I am quite obsessed with. If you haven’t seen the planning crazy I have been enveloped in then make sure you check out my Instagram. I post weekly spreads and planner hauls.


So back to TV, it’s crazy how many great shows come on Sunday night. My recent discovery is Breaking Homicide, which I am glued to the TV watching every Sunday night. I seriously can’t sleep until I find out what new evidence they have discovered. I think part of my intrigue is that we have a murder cold case in my hometown that is on the minds of everyone weekly. It would be a blessing to have some team come in and solve it for the family’s peace.


Anyways, What shenanigans did you guys get into over the weekend? Any new shows I need to watch? Lord knows I don’t have enough. Happy Monday! Hope you have a great week!

Lions, Tigers, and Bears ..Oh My!

Hello lovelies!

Yes, you guessed it those are famous words from The Wizard of Oz.  Today I am linking up with both Sami , Molly & Meg! Well my weekend was so busy that I literally felt like a tornado had lifted me up and spun me around! At some points this weekend I was ready to click my heels and say “There’s no place like home.” I must admit it was kind of depressing, I missed my sorority chapter’s week of recruitment and bid day. I use to love attending these so being so far away sometimes is hard. The weekend definitely flew by for me and yet again I had little time to catch some r&r. I was very surprised to see that my Nume Flat Iron was delivered a day early and of course I tried it out Friday night! I will be doing a full review of this product, as well as all of the products that were sent in this kit.

I did talk to this guy which I will call C and I have talked to him for a few years now. I know that time seems to stand still when talking to him, but I have realized throughout the years that this situation is never going to progress for many reasons. So womp womp this is something that he needs to take into considerations before he calls me every day. Anyways ..moving on! Friday night I was tweeting away when someone tweeted me this! Bahaha I just about died from laughing!

I did wake up Saturday morning to a picture text message from Rachel showing me the damage that was made to her car in an accident. I can say that I seriously felt for her. I have had my share of bump ins and they are never fun! If you saw twitter on Saturday then you already know that I spent my entire day at the church decorating my mom’s Sunday School classroom. You see my mom loves the kids in her class and she loves going all out to make Sunday school special for them. Don’t even get me started on how much we have to do for Vacation Bible School. Anyways, I spent Saturday making a Tree-mendous display that looks amazing. Unfortunately as I was trying to take a picture, my phone died, which was not surprising since I had been going fill blast for over nine hours. So you will only be able to see a smidgen of the room which is now fully decorated from floor to ceiling. However, after a long day of work there I headed home.

Suday Funday came around and passed quickly! It seems that by the time I get through making the large Sunday Lunch that is tradition most of the morning was gone I spent the rest of the day getting my life together for the next work week and week of blogging. I have been trying out some new products that were sent to me, so make sure that you stay tuned for those! I spent Sunday night making a virtual party and Facebook event for my Scentsy party!  I also realized that my tan had faded and fake baked while watching old episodes of Vampire Diaries. My new tv obsession is Friday Night Lights, it comes on this random channel Pivot and I am loving it. I know it is an older series, but someone when it was new I somehow overlooked it. It seriously takes me back to high school. While watching some tv I decided to order some pizza, of course I hit up Dominos. Which by the way you really need to check up the updated tracker, it is too funny!

If you missed Fridays post then you are so out of the loop on the little adventure that I am embarking on. If you want to read the full details you can do so here! Basically I am hosting the first ever blog party! Specifically I am hosting a Scentsy party! Now I must admit that I have a Scentsy bar burning about 7 days a week. I am absolutely obsessed with the house smelling great. I was first introduced to this brand a few months ago and since then I have become quite acquainted with this brand. I am so thankful to have been introduced to this brand. I did place yet another order over the weekend, I just could not wait any longer. If you are someone that loves Camouflage, the Military, Nature, Football, Owls, and about anything else. I have recently fallen in love with White Owls, so when I saw one in the catalogue then I had to get it. I can’t wait to reveal all that I got and post a review.

I know that I purchased a variety of stuff based on recommendations from people like Rachel, so is quite familiar with this brand. I am so excited to get some fall things to go into my Cara Box for my match. Though matches have not been posted yet I am already planning out how to make the box fabulous! Make sure that you check out my Scentsy party and if you want to do some shopping for yourself. I have a deal that I can not disclose on the blog but if you email me I will be happy to tell you! Check out My Party here!
