Hey Guys! What are you up to this weekend? Tonight we are going to a fun wine tasting party at our neighbor's house.  We are each bringing two bottles of the same wine and after the blind tastings, whoever brought the winning wine, gets to take all the bottles home. What a great idea, right!? Last weekend we were busy, and did not get much rest, so this weekend I am hoping for lazy mornings and pool time. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are this week's favorites...

Favorite Quote: Never blow out someone's candle, to make yours brighter.-Chelsea Handler. 

Favorite Accessory: Mermaid Crown -via Chelseas Flower Crowns.  Here's a cheap, but cute DIY version.  Lately, Luna has been into crowns (no surprise in toddler girl-land).  I think it would be fun to craft up some mermaid crowns. 

Favorite Matchy-Matchy: Best Friends Bombers-via Gardnerandthegang. This mother-daughter pic made me smile. This may not be for everyday wear, but come on! I can already see Luna and I wearing them. 

Favorite Recipe to try: Baked Brie with Figs, Walnuts & Ancho Chili Honey-via La Crema. As I mentioned above, I'm going to a Pinot Noir tasting party, if I win all the leftover pinot, I really want to pair it with this.  Plus, did you guys read this article from The New Yorker, Love The Fig.  It is so interesting!

Favorite Shoes: Pointed Toe Smoking Slipper -via Sole Society.   These are not for everyone or everyday, but they are so fun.  These would look awesome with rolled up boyfriend jeans and a tee or a dress, especially as we start transitioning into Fall. 

Favorite Beauty: 10 Best Light Pink Nail Polishes -via StyleCaster.  I have been rockin' some bright nails, but now I am in the mood to chill out and go back to a pretty pink. 

Favorite Song of the Week:  Rise by Katy Perry.  I just added this to my running playlist. The olympics video is so inspiring.

Hey there! What are you up to this weekend?  We finally got Luna into a weekday ballet class, so our Saturdays are freed up. Whoop Whoop! I think I hurt my right shoulder blade while working out, so icing and sipping on chilled sauvignon blanc is where you'll find me. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are this week's favorites...

Favorite Quote: Netflix + Chill(ed) Sauvignon Blanc...yes, please. 

Favorite Hair: Dutch Braid for short hair -via The Beauty Department.  I'm still working on my braid game. 

Favorite Shoes: New Balance -via Fleet Feet Sports.  I was recently fitted for some new shoes and I can't wait till they come in (sorry Nike--you're just not supportive enough).

Favorite Beauty: Dr. Jart+ Water Replenishment Sheet Mask -via Sephora.  After having Luna, I started suffering from mild rosacea and have migrated to using redness relief and moisturizing masks. I am loving the ease of sheet masks. 

Favorite Cake: Too Legit To Quite slang cake -via Sugar & Cloth.  My birthday is in 16 days, and I literally want to have cake by the ocean, and since I am getting back to workout warrior status, this cake topper is it! 

Favorite for Kids: Clothing and Name Labels -via Minted.com.  Luna is starting preschool soon, and one of the requests is that we label everything.  There are so many cute labels on Minted, and they are waterproof. 

Favorite Song of the Week: Throwing it back to Gangnum Style because Luna was late to the game, and now she can't get enough. She cracks up laughing to the song, and dances like nobody's business. Here's proof.

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!

Favorite Fitness: Fitspiration journal -via Target.  As I mentioned here, this summer I have lost myself a little, so I began using this journal and its been helpful. 

Favorite Wanderlust: Pelican Inn (Muir Beach) - via Pelican Inn.  My birthday is coming up, and what I really want is a a little getaway.  We love Muir Beach so this may be my first choice. 

Favorite Song of the Week: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (from "Mary Poppins") - Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke. Doesn't Mary Poppins make everybody happier!?

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.

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

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

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.
