On deck for the week: New Year’s Resolutions- how are we doing? Have we given up? Skincare tips to help keep you looking fabulous and a few awesome reads in this week’s link love…
Happy Friday, friends! Here is what we got going on deck for today…
Question for you all: How are we all doing on our resolutions? Are we inning? Are we failing? Or are we just trekking on? I’ll admit I am doing VERY well, actually better than well when it comes to my New Year’s Resolutions, although yesterday I went to the grocery store to pick up something really quick. While I was at the checkout I spied some of the most amazing looking breakfast/dessert treats that I absolutely LOVE- Strawberry and Cream Cheese turnovers- thankfully my willpower took over and I didn’t grab any. Note to self- NEVER go to the grocery store hungry. If I am being totally real with you guys, I literally had to tell myself- Two more weeks of Whole30, until you can cheat before going back on the Whole30 (just not as strict).
On another note, is it just me or has this week literally flown by at a rapid pace? I mean I kept thinking that Monday (MLK Day) I was thinking it was Saturday, and then overall this week I have been just off on my days. Thankfully I have a pretty awesome weekend coming – as I will be lounging in Laguna with two of my favorites Romy and Stacy, so I am totally looking forward to that! Some nice relaxation, a few spa treatments, and just overall unplugging. I am EXCITED. The weather this week in Southern California has been a bit weird, and although I am feeling so awesome on the Whole30, I am also kind of stressed out with a few projects I am working on: designing and branding for MLL Designs, so a 3-day break is much needed! Sometimes honestly in life, sometimes it’s so nice to have a very quiet, low-key weekend. Time for some pamper me time, whatever you are up to this weekend- I hope it is wonderful!
And now…. Let’s jump into the good stuff from the week and awesome things for the weekend to come in this week’s link love…
