Hey, Happy Smonday! ☕
I thought it would be nice to create a bi-weekly post where we catch up; you know, kinda like two friends over coffee. I’ll share what’s been on my mind, unique things I’ve seen on the internet, and whatever made me smile. Think of it as a weekend woosah!
I hope your week has been good. On Monday, my friend (Shatta) and I returned from a relaxing weekend meetup in Destin, Florida.
As a result, I’ve been playing catchup not only for my job but also for my side hustle. Like many of y’all, I’m just happy to see the weekend. It’s kinda crazy when you need a vacation from the vacation, right?
I’ve been doing cozy, homey stuff this weekend, like working on my prayer closet (more on this in a future post), refreshing my back patio, lighting scented candles, and making this comforting chili mac (from How To Feed a Loon).
Man, this reminded me of childhood so much. Don’t get it twisted though, this is not hamburger helper!
Anyway, I wanted to stop in and share a few things I’ve come across that made me smile, think, or just hit that add to cart button.
What I’ve Been Loving Lately:
💻 What’s In My Cart: I’ve decided to take better care of my hands and feet, but I don’t want and can’t afford to get a mani and pedi every other week.
Shatta suggested I try at home gel nails! So I have this highly rated LED nail lamp, callus reducer, pink gel polish, and nail drill in my cart.
📚 Audible Book I’m Listening To: The Only One Left by Riley Sager. This book is full of twists and turns right until the very end!
🎶 Song on repeat: “Jireh” by Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music.
☕ Treat yourself idea: Shatta suggested I try the Lacroix Hibiscus sparkling water but I couldn’t find it in stock. I came home with the Guava and Pamplemousse flavors instead and I love them. If you’re trying to quit soda like me, give it a shot.
Something for You to Try This Week:
🌿 Create a 10-minute self-care moment. This 10minute stretch routine from Grow With Jo has made my week and is now in almost daily rotation. So so relaxing and good for the body.
🛍️ Walmart Find of the Week: This White Rose & Peach candle from Mainstays has been burning longer than the law should allow. At less than $4, it’s affordable and smells so good. Highly recommended.
Alright, I’m off to finish working on my patio. Let me know what you’ve been up to, what’s in your cart, or what’s on your mind. I love hearing from you.
Here’s to good coffee, lazy mornings, and suggestions from those who know us best. 💗
I blog about everything that inspires me, from beauty and home decor to travel and everyday moments.
