What are you up to this weekend?  I'll be over here hiding from the heat. It has been in the 100's here and the heatwave is still going, therefore, my plan mostly includes air conditioning.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and try to stay cool, here are this week's favorites...

Favorite Quote: Savor life and all its magic. A good reminder to enjoy the little moments.

Favorite DIY: Giant Frames for Engineer Prints -via Yellow Brick Home. My online friend, Lauren from The Little Things We Do, recently posted her engineer prints, and it reminded me that I need to get on this. 

Favorite Dessert: Strawberries and Vanilla Cream Paletas -via Lola's Cocina. I recently made these, and lets just say they are all gone, and Luna asked for more. Yum!

Hey Guys! What are you up to this weekend? We have a jam-packed weekend filled with celebrations.  Tomorrow my closest friend's son is turning 4, and I am excited to see his little face light up when he sees all the good stuff his mommy planned, and on Sunday it is our 7 year wedding anniversary (I love you more than ever MAS!).  I have so much to be grateful for and with all that is going on around the world, all I want to do is show the people in my life how much I love them even more than I already do. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are this week's favorites...

Favorite Quote: The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.-Paulo Coelho.  Always laying it down Mr. Coelho! 

Favorite Home Decor:  Vanity as a nightstand -via Hunted Interior.  I currently have a regular 2-drawer nightstand, but this vanity remix is in my future.  It will be nice to have somewhere to sit and apply my makeup.  

Favorite Shoes: Kate Spade Beatriz Sandals. I have been trying to stick to whites and denims all summer so having a pop of color is pretty.  These would be fun with an all white outfit. 

Favorite Look Lately: Pink Lips + Whites -via Shay Mitchell.  Like I said above, reaching for whites this summer has made my life so much easier, but I still need a pop of color, and you all know I love a bright lip. 

Favorite Accessory: Kate Spade Going Places Square Scarf.  This would be cute wrapped around the wrist, on your purse, neck, head...okay I just like it.  It is elegant and again will add some color. 

Favorite Dessert: Chocolate Berry Cake via The Story of Cake. My friend Carrie is an amazing baker, and it is her fault I find myself browsing baked goods.  Isn't this cake beautiful?  And it has raspberries which are my favorite.

Hey guys! What are you up to this weekend? This week has been exhausting between early morning workouts, meal prep, hot days and Luna officially in a toddler bed, I'm ready to clock out. I will be ordering this clock asap.  Tonight the Copa America begins with USA vs. Columbia, and these games will definitely be playing in the background until the tournament is over. We have Luna's dress rehearsal tomorrow, and then we will be preparing our home for guests which means clean like crazy before they arrive.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and here are this week's favorites...

Favorite Quote: What we don't need in the midst of struggle is shame for being human-Brene Brown. With the horrific gorilla incident and sad judgmental turnout, this quote says it all. 

Favorite Dessert: Vegan Key Lime Pie -via Yummy Mummy Kitchen.  I love lime/lemon and berry combination, and thhis looks delicious. 

Favorite Accessory: Bad Hair Day hat -via Shop Riff Raff. This one is perfect for those early morning summer park playdates. 

Favorite Drink: Underwood Wines in a can.  Lately I have been obsessed with individual wine servings.  A chilled Rosé or Sauvignon Blanc is a necessity sometimes.  I really want to try these, but not sure if they're just cute or they're actually good. 

Favorite DIY: Wine/Liquor Bottle Tiki Torches -via The Garden Glove.  My friend Carrie recently starting turning her wine bottles into these, and I think its brilliant.  I can't wait to add a few of these to our outdoor table.  

Favorite Beauty: Estēe Lauder Pure Color in Love Bites or Pure Red. I am currently wearing this and I get so many compliments.  I like that Estēe Lauder sticks to classics and makes a beautiful products.

Hey Guys! What are you up to this weekend? We have no big plans which is nice for a change.  I am looking forward to lazying around the house with my husband and Luna. Slow weekends are priceless. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are this week's favorites...

Favorite Quote: Dancing is a Happy elixir--Drink up! We do A LOT of dancing in our house! 

Favorite Accessory: Straw Tote -via Target.  I really like this J. Crew tote, but I don't like the price for a seasonal bag.  Luckily for us Target never disappoints! 

Favorite Made me Laugh: Adios Mercury Retrograde! According to my favorite horoscope, Mercury's annoying retrograde is coming to an end. 

Favorite Beauty: Heritage Store Rosewater -via Thrive Market.  I use this spray on a daily and absolutely love it.  I use it to refresh my face, hair and body, as well as spray a little on Luna when she wants "perfume." 

Favorite Flowers: Peonies -via Trader Joes.  Its peonies season at Traders and for $6.99 you can come home with these beauties. 

Favorite Book: The Skin Type Solution -via Amazon.  This book is the bomb-diggity! I've been having issues with my skin ever since having Luna which includes dryness and rosacea, and this book is super informative. The best part is you take a test which helps you figure out your exact skin type and then she provides you with low, mid and high range products to use for your skin type.  

Favorite Song of the Week: P.Y.T. Michael Jackson.  This always gets me dancing.

Hey Guys! What are you up to this weekend? We have a busy weekend ahead with ballet class, recital photo session and we are heading to the Central Valley for my mother-in-law's birthday celebration.  My husband was gone for a few days on a business trip so I am looking forward to tonight's in-home date night.  A little chirashi and a glass of this sauvignon blanc may be necessary. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and here are this week's favorites...

Favorite Quote: I save my carbs for wine.  It's called 'priorities.'-Carrie Bradshaw

Favorite Outfit: 25 Ways to style the classic stripes pattern.-via StyleCaster.  I already have a vest similar to this so I am on the lookout for a comfy striped dress. 

Favorite Recipe to try:  Snap Peas + Cashew Hummus -via Snixy Kitchen. Hummus and snap peas is one of Luna's favorite snacks so I think amping it up adult style would be delicious. 

Favorite Flick: East Side Sushi. I have been waiting for the release of this for what feels like forever.  As soon as I received the notification from Redbox that this was in, I headed straight there.  

Favorite Accessory: Kanken Mini Backpack -via Nordstrom.  I am finally downsizing my backpack! I currently use this large Herschel backpack, but now that Luna is almost completely potty trained I do not have to carry as much.  The great thing about this mini is that once Luna goes to school she can wear it.  I'm thinking ahead. 

Favorite Scent: Botanical Mini Perfumes -via Good Medicine Beauty Lab.  When I am out in about with Luna I like to wear natural scents.  I usually reach for this rosewater spray which I love, but I feeling like its time to mix it up.  These minis would be a great way to test some new scents out. 

Favorite Song of the Week: Can't stop the feeling by Justin Timberlake.  Obvi that Luna & I are loving this happy song.

What are you up to this weekend? It is a rainy day here so I surprised Luna this morning and we put our rain boots on with our pj's and drove thru Starbucks for breakfast.  Last weekend Luna did not want to go to ballet class (we think it was because I was gone), hopefully tomorrow morning goes smoothly.  The remainder of the weekend we have lots of errands to run, but snuggling may win since its going to be rainy.  Also, don't forget Sunday is spring forward.
