Current Obsessions

I’m looking forward to, and mildly stressing out over, the coming weeks. I have a jam packed schedule full of lots of fun activities in a lot of interesting locations. First up, this weekend I will be running a half marathon. I am very excited that my 12 weeks of training are almost completely behind me and it is almost time to compete! The following week I am off to Chicago, followed by a weekend in Baltimore for my good friend, Victoria’s, wedding. Finally, what I am looking forward to most – a week in Aruba with Mike. I’m looking forward to what everyone tells me will be the most relaxing vacation of my life with my best friend.

My crazy schedule has really suppressed my creativity and prevented me from writing blog posts. I want to fill you in on a few things that I am really enjoying right now:

1. It is almost seasonally appropriate to wear my two favorite fabrics – eyelet and dotted Swiss.
2. Sephora brand mascara. I’ve been blessed with long full lashes and have never needed to go out of my way to enhance them. Usually I stick with mascara that can be purchased at the grocery store. However after trying a sample of the Sephora brand mascara, I am hooked. I have had multiple people ask me if I got eyelash extensions – yes, that good!
3. Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Pillow Mist. This darling little spray smells amazing on my sheets and helps me relax after a long day
4. New black patent leather flats purchased at Target on sale for only $12!
5. I dug these little stud earrings out when scouring my jewelry boxes for accessories to wear at Victoria’s wedding. Vic has requested that the bridesmaids wear pearl accessories, and when I came across these I knew they would be perfect. The simple pearl stud is enhanced with a smaller diamond stud below.
6. My new golf glove! Now that the weather is finally warm, I’ve been enjoying taking golf lessons and going to the driving range. However, I haven’t enjoyed having my hands torn up. My new glove is both functional and fashionable.
