Scenes From Our Weekend

Happy Monday!  

I forgot to share a few picture from last weekend.  Our good friends came down for NYE with their 3 girls:)
My best friend Erin and I with our girls.

At Ellis Creek Fish Camp.
Getting excited for the big night. Confetti balloons are always a good idea.

We had a NYE lunch at Leon's.  I dream about their Siam Salad and fried brussels sprouts.


The kid's sharing a cheers of sparking cider for NYE.
Listening for fireworks.
NTE outfit, although I was in sweats by 10!

Back to this weekend!  Friday night I finally got to visit the new Goat Sheep Cow.  I can't wait til the weather warms up to enjoy their patio!
What I wore:
We shared a cheese plate, that was delicious.  
I had the salad with "crack cheese" toast and let me tell you it was amazing.  They sell the crack cheese at their cheese shop and it will blow your mind.   We all also shared the roasted veggies.
We enjoyed this red wine.  It was really tasty.
We ended our night at The Ordinary.  Doesn't our waiter look just like Stiffler?

Saturday was a gym day and then we laid low because the weather was so cold and yucky.
My favorite high waisted Zella pants are out in a few new designs.  Loving this black stripe.
Two new juices I am obsessed with from Whole Foods.  My sister in law let me try the Mommy juice last week at her house and I immediately went and bought a bottle. 


 Sunday was another lazy day.  The weather was so cold here all weekend.  
This sweatshirt is so cozy.  It is fleece and under $25!

I tried out Green Chef this past week.  I am typically not a fan of these meal delivery services.  I love to cook and shop for groceries so they never appealed to me.  My sister gave me a coupon for Green Chef and all I had to pay was the $9 shipping fee for 3 meals so I figured why not?  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  The food was really good.  I like that you can choose what category you want : Vegetarian, Omnivore, Vegan etc.  Plus it is all organic.  This was my first meal a spin on the Nicoise Salad and it was really yummy.  

So true.

Stripes Love

I got the cutest stripe top in the mail yesterday and it got me thinking about my love of stripes.  This tee is so soft and runs TTS.  I have a size small.  

There are so many other great options out there!  

stripes



Love the Carolina blue.


 Perfect for the beach!

Tie dye and stripes, yes!

This comes in several other colors too!

This reminds me so much of Goyard but way cheaper.  This would make a great tote for a new mom.
On sale right now.  Can be worn as a scarf or wrap.  Comes in several colors.
I have this in the navy and love it!!

This looks so comfy.

I love the back of this tee and black/white stripes are always so classic. 

I just got this planner and love it.  It fits perfectly in my purse. 

Totally obsessed with this.

This also comes in a gorgeous yellow color.  It is under $50 too!

I love the idea of this layered with a few others.
Also comes in hot pink and looks so cozy!

Randoms.

Get ready for a brain dump today.  

First thank you for all the comments about a Vitamix.  I am sold and I am going to order one.  I made a new smoothie this week and wanted to share because it was really good.  I made it in my Ninja which made me realize I want the Vitamix even more because it just doesn't blend things as well. 

1 small cucumber chopped, 1/4 cup coconut water, 1 pear sliced, 1 large handful kale, 1 kale handful spinach, 1/4 cup mint, juice of one lime, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 cup frozen pineapple.  This made enough for two smoothies or one large one.
The smoothie recipe came from this cookbook which I am loving.  So many great healthy recipes and gorgeous pictures.  I am cookbook snob and I only like books with pictures of everything:)

Anyone else addicted to The Bachelor?   Ah, it brings me so much happiness.  I am so glad it is back on and with lots of crazies to watch this season.  

I got to meet my new nephew James this week.  It is Matt's sister's 3 baby and he is just a doll.  I could have cuddled with him all day.

I mentioned the Colleen Rothschild face mask on my favorite buys post but I wanted to share a few other favorites because many are all on sale.  The prices are great right now!

Dual Enzyme Polish (on sale) - This is a rough exfoliating scrub.  You let it sit on your face for about 10 minutes and then rub in a circular motion and wash off.  I do this twice a week followed by the Intense Hydrating Mask
Detox Mask ( on sale) - a clay mask that helps pull impurities from your skin.  
Body Lotion (on sale)- A light fresh scent.
Face Oil - I use this every single morning it is the first thing I put it.  It really moisturizes your skin. Not on sale but it is pretty amazing.  
 Intense Hydrating Mask (on sale )- this is a thick lotion mask that I actually put on and wear overnight. 
 Gel Face Wash (on sale)- I love a foaming face wash and this one is great.


Frances Moon has used the potty two days in a row this week.  We are still rocking pull ups but she is starting to tell me when she needs to go.  I am so excited we are making progress.  

New PJ obsession is this 2 piece set.  They feel like the softest most worn in tee shirt.  I am wearing the periwinkle color but they also come in a gorgeous cloud color.  I am wearing a medium for those curious about sizing.

I need a few new book suggestion to download.  I am thinking of the Girl in Cabin 10 but would love some other light weight reads.  Lets be real I love a girly romance novel:)

I am still veggie sandwich obsessed.  Square Onion in Mt Pleasant has a great one called The Whitney.
Frances Moon's bedroom clean for once for our guests last weekend.

Today starts the big Lily Pulitizer sale!  Don't miss out.  I am hoping to snag a few dresses for Frances!  You can shop it all HERE, it starts at 8 am and sizes go fast!


I am a sucker for a white blouse and this one is a new find that I am loving.  It buttons up the back and has the cutest fit.

Have a great day!
