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 Hair & Beauty: 8 Braids for short hair -via Byrdie.com.  I'll admit my hair is in a bun 99% of the time, especially with this heat, but I want to try out some of these braids. 

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. 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. 

Favorite Song of the Week: Hands to Myself by Selena Gomez...darn catchy song! Ha!

Favorite Quote: If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.-Mother Teresa.  With so much bad going on in the world this simple advice is the best advice. 

Favorite Podcast: Beautiful Anonymous is one of my new favorites.  I listen to several podcasts, and I love that this one is easy to get into.  

Favorite Blouse: Madewell Off the Shoulder Cotton Top -via Nordstrom. I like that they paired it with white jeans which would look great for 4th of July, and any summer day for that matter. 

Favorite Dessert: Meyer Lemon Tart (with gluten free crust) -via Cup of Jo/Sassy Kitchen. I wish I had that missing slice right now! 

Favorite Book: The Importance of Being Little by Erika Christakis.  I recently began reading this book, and since Luna will be starting preschool soon its fascinating to me.  

Favorite Deal: Bath & Body Works 3-wick candle sale! I picked up a few of these candles, including the Rainforest Gardenia, and the pillow mists are also a must. 

Favorite Song of the Week: Hold On by Wilson Phillips. This song was playing while my friend, Carrie, and I were in line to pay for our candles and we had a moment. Haha!

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.
