Self Care Friday

What a week! On top of the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, it's been an emotional week - two high profile deaths, one being near and dear to my heart and a few personal struggles I've been dealing with. What everyone needs is to hug and kiss someone and have a night in.

How we relax!! Check out what Sarah's reading and loving this week: 

I Am Not Perfect Tee: I need this as a reminder when I start criticizing myself for not being the perfectionist I want to be. 

Marie Andrew: Her illustrations on life are the perfect way to end my week!

Apartment Therapy: Seeing how people transform tiny homes into gorgeous spaces. 

Self Care Friday

Happy Friday! Since Coachella is in it's first week, I plan on being far away from the festival since it's in my hometown. I'm spending the day with a coworker and socializing it up and networking with other fab ladies at the Create and Cultivate Pop-Up at the Ace tomorrow. Besides that I'm indulging myself with a fancy grilled cheese dinner and trying to get on that spring cleaning. See you next week :)

What I'm Doing: Desert Pop-Up

Self Care Friday

In the last few weeks, I have created five new programs at my library and since my mind has been running a mile a minute, I've been coming up with new ideas and posts to incorporate into the blog as well. More on that a little later though. To switch up Friday posts, I'm adding a new morning series, Self Care Friday! So dish on your favorite products and tell me what you're doing on a Friday night in! Now that I'm 30 and staying in on a Friday night sounds so much more luxurious than going out, I'm into this new thing called Friday Night Chores. What are your plans today or tonight? 

What I'm Doing: Friday Night Chores

Saturday Happy

Growing up in a household with a mother who had more catalogs than she knew what to do with, I eventually inherited her hoarding of print subscriptions. The amount of time and money put towards magazines and snail mail catalogs may be a tad bit ridiculous but I can't help spending a lazy Saturday afternoon to look through my favorites and highlight things to purchase and add to wishlists. I've been a long time fan of both The Vermont Country Store and Olive & Cocoa, so if you haven't yet gotten to know these sites go ahead and check them out! I've found some great treasure in these two catalogs in particular, do you have a favorite mail ordered catalog?! What's making you happy this week?

Saturday Happy

Have you checked out the latest collaboration between Target and Lauren Bush Lauren's feed project? I've been a long time fan of Lauren's bags and a her mission to feeding the the word through the quality products over on her site. I was ecstatic about her working with Target, creating a reasonably priced line and feeding America. I couldn't help myself but make a few purchases the last time I was in Target, knowing that somewhere in America, I myself contributed to feeding 50 people, how's that for a happy Saturday?! What's making you happy this week?
