This weekend was pretty relaxed which was a good change of pace from the week. I had brunch with some former students of mine at a local spot, Hardy Park Bistro, so good! We filled up on coffee, laughs, and fries. (p.s. you NEED to get the fries!) I then worked my way back home and stopped off at the mall to try and find some summer clothes because the other day I wore an entire black outfit to work. I live in sunny South Florida so I would love to add some color to my wardrobe again. I’ve been super insecure about my weight recently so I’m trying to learn how to embrace myself in every stage. I’ll try to share some of the things I’m ordering. We finished off the weekend with putting up shelves in our bathroom. Also to clarify, when I say “we” I mostly mean my husband 😉 We try and spend some time every weekend on house projects because there’s a lot to do.

The 4 things I’m loving right now

1. This mascara. I can’t seem to find a better mascara that makes my lashes as full and dark as this one. I hadn’t used it in a few months but I found a brand new tube in my makeup stash and I’ve been re-obsessed. The plastic wand is my favorite.
2. My new makeup wipes. I realize these are technically baby wipes but they are the BEST makeup removers. I HATE washing my face at night most of the time. I get super lazy at night so I always keep makeup wipes in my nightstand because I know how important it is to remove my makeup. I’m always looking for cleaner products and these are perfect. You can get 3 packs for about $33! Also, if you have kids it’s an even better deal…double duty!
3. Easy Meals. I currently have Trader Joe’s frozen meatballs and sauce on the stove. I’m obviously going to put this over pasta. I sometimes feel so bad that I don’t make more extravagant dinners especially since I LOVE to cook. I’ve been staying later at work recently so by the time I get home I’m exhausted so easy meals for the win lately.
4. My brand new BIKE! My husband gave me the best birthday present ever, my very own bike! I’ll tell you more about that later this week because yes, to me it’s of course much more than just a bike.
