Weekend Reading

Hi y'all! I hope you had a lovely week. Mine was SUPER busy and just flew by. I'm so thankful for some relaxation time this weekend. I'm headed to Yoga on the Mall today with a few of my co-workers! I hope it's not too crowded and that we will be able to get a spot. I've been in a little bit of a funk this week, between being so busy and a little sad to be back from my weekend visiting my boyfriend last week. Long distance is SO hard and one of the ways that we make it work is to try to schedule our next visit before the current one ends. That way, we have something to look forward to! Having another visit on the books makes saying goodbye so much easier. Unfortunately, my guy is about to move for another rotation with his company in July- so we can't really plan a trip until we know where he will be. I think that's been the driving force behind my funk- that and exhaustion! I wanted to share some things I came across this week for a little weekend reading! Have a fabulous weekend!!

• I love this DIY rope doormat. Super cute and it seems simple enough!
• Here are some great tips to keep your skin hydrated as we head into summertime.
• While goals are a great thing, they are not etched in stone! Love this gentle reminder on goals and flexibility.
• I'm still learning to contour my makeup and love this quick 1-minute look!
• This is a fabulous guide to curating and hanging a gallery wall!
• I'd happily toast with either of these delicious cocktails!
• Maintaining friendships after college takes a different approach and this advice is spot on!
• For those of you that will be with your mommas tomorrow, here are some great recipe ideas.
• Looking for something educational? Check out this commonly misspelled words test.

What are you up to this weekend? Did you find any great reads this week?

Writer Wednesday Interview!

Good morning! I am thrilled to share with y'all an interview about me over on Not Intent on Arriving! Kristen's blog is an easy, fun read and she does a weekly Writer Wednesday post that features interviews of other bloggers. It's a great way to learn about new-to-you bloggers and it's always fun to get to know the person behind the blog a little better. This was my first interview, and I'm really excited for y'all to get to know me a little better. Please stop by and let me know what you think!

Weekend Reading

Happy Saturday, readers! This weekend is coming as a much needed break for me. I feel like 2015 is just FLYING by so far, and I have been busy the whole time. I am planning on heading into DC today for a little sight seeing since we have been holed up with rain the past few days. I have been missing the sun so much lately! Enjoying a lazy morning or evening in? Have no fear- I have some great articles for you to click through.

Even before blowouts, I have been all about extending a good hair day. Check out these tips on adding more time in between washes!

I love these ideas for staying in the moment- I have experimented with unplugged holidays before and hope to continue to incorporate more of this disconnected time into my everyday life!

As many people have already freaked over this, I still have to share- Target released their Lilly Pulitzer for Target lookbook! It is gorgeous.

I am swooning over the Spring 2015 collection from Essie! At-home-manis are a favorite of mine. I love the new Flowerista and Petal Pushers!

Speaking of spring, I am loving these gorgeous blooms. I can't wait to have a garden of my own!

SPF is my best friend, therefore this guide to self-tanning might come in handy to get a little glow!

Per usual, here is a little online shopping with a spring-y twist!

Have a beautiful weekend! xo.

Sunday Blog Reading Round-Up

Hi y'all! This weekend has been so crazy, I can't believe we got more snow yesterday! NOVA has gotten slammed with a lot of winter weather lately {see my back porch view at the start of it all yesterday via Instagram}!! This Georgia girl is still having a hard time adjusting. If you are snowed in or just staying in for a lazy Sunday, here are a few things I've come across that are worth checking out!

This post by A Little Searsucker Sass really resonates with me. In today's culture, it can be extremely difficult to stay out of the gossip loop and she shares some great insight into her recent experiences.

I love DC Girl in Pearls' post featuring an awesome blouse that can work perfectly at work or out on the town!

I am basically drooling over this recipe posted on Alexandra Bee Blog!

Please take a minute to read this article warning against the danger of UV even once you've stepped inside. 

If you're like me and haven't taken the plunge to purchase a high quality camera, here are a few tips to improve your iPhone photos by Song of Style.

Loving this how-to featuring a round brush over on Byrdie.com! I'm ready to sport some runway-worthy locks.

It's so nice to see social media working to support rather than tear down one person's healthy body changes.

What are you reading these days? Any suggestions for my lazy Sunday reading list?
