And, a little update. Because you care. Right?
I was finally able to catch up with my friend Jason last week. His boyfriend David was out of town so it was just the two of us talking at his place until almost 1:00 am. I am really working on finding a balance because if I don't, I may lose my mind. Planning on seeing Jason again this week.

Audrey sent a card congratulating me on The Everygirl. So sweet.
Got a pedicure with Sarah. I've been in sandals all week. In March. Heaven.

Having lots of fun with my water.
Spend St. Patty's Day morning / early afternoon at Sarah's where I met her niece, Katie. Love her! I decided not to go to a bar and went home to do nothing the rest of the day. It was wondrous. Rented The Descendants and cuddled with the pup. Mr. Clooney is so dreamy.
Ran to the grocery store in my favorite toms on Sunday morning to prep for a shoot with Alaina. I am obsessed with my new bag! After our shoot we picked up lunch and ate on my balcony while discussing The Everygirl. We have a great feature, post, & budget find on TEG today. Hope you'll stop by and tell us a little about yourself.

We needed flowers for our shoot. Any excuse to pick up a few of my favorites.

Then I took a nap and woke up to sunlight at 6:20. Two months ago it was dark by 4:30. Amazing. This was followed by editing photos, our newsletter, and posts for The Everygirl until almost 11:00 pm.
PS. The gold athena tray is back in stock at Jayson Home & Garden!

ReplyDeleteOh, catching up with your friend sounds lovely. Great shots. xo
ReplyDeleteLife is looking pretty beautiful right now! Spring makes me happy, especially this early in March. Glad you're finding time to try to balance work + friends/relaxation. I am also obsessing over your new pretty bag especially paired with TOMS.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting The hunger games tonight!
ReplyDeleteAll of your photos with that bag just make me want it more and more! Heard all about your date with Katie, sounded amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are finding a balance and making time for the things you love! Cheers to you, lovely!

ReplyDeleteYour home looks great and I'm excited that the gold tray is back at Jayson Homes! If you liked the Hunger Games Triolgy try Divergent by Veronica Roth. Similar theme and easy read. Congratulations on The Every Girl - I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your J Crew bag so much! I highly recommend Tina Fey's book Bossypants... It is absolutely hilarious! Those TOMS are so cute too! I love the version in red as well!

ReplyDeleteiiiiiiii am obsessed with your new bag. i want i want i want i want. Also, good for you for incorporating a little more balance :) Remember: "taking time to live will only inspire your work" :)
ReplyDeletethat is soo good to hear that you loved the hunger games! It is soo good. I so can't wait until the movie comes out Friday!
ReplyDeleteLove those Toms! If you are just getting back into reading then I suggest 'Her Fearful Symmetry' by Audrey Niffenegger. It's such an easy, ripping read. I couldn't put it down and read it in a day, and I sent it to a friend who also couldn't put it down. Highly recommend!
