Sequins and Sea Breezes: Weekending

Weekending

2/29/2016



Happy Monday and leap day friends! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I don't know about you but mine felt like it went by way too fast. Who decided that the work week should be 5 days and the weekend only two any way? I seriously need to have a talk with them. Before I get into my weekend recap with Biana I just wanted to apologize to any one who has noticed me not commenting as much on your blog as I used to. My work has been cracking down on security and privacy settings so a lot of blogs I used to regularly visit are now blocked and occasionally I can get around them if I view your blog through Bloglovin' but if any where in your post that day you use a word that my work doesn't deem "appropriate" it gets blocked. I try to comment on some blogs before I get to work but I know a lot of you don't post until after 7 am and I leave for work at 6:30 am so if you post after then there's a chance I won't be able to view your blog. And I'd love to view everyone's blogs when I get home from work but if I go to the gym after work I usually don't get home until 7 pm, then I make dinner, take a shower and by then it's almost bed time! Ok, enough of that, on to my weekend recap!


Friday I had a busy day at work so I didn't do much after. I absolutely love my job because I get to wear many hats and Friday I got to play the role of photographer. We release three different (small) publications and on Friday I got to shoot a spread for our summer edition. No people are involved so it's not that hard but it is still time consuming! So come May/June I'll officially be a published photographer!

Saturday morning I woke up and hit up the gym since I missed out on a day this week. After the gym I headed out to do some shopping since I have a gala to attend for work in two weeks and I definitely don't have anything formal enough to wear! I ended up finding a very simple black satin gown that I think is going to be the winner. After shopping I headed over to Brass Tap to meet up with Kerri for some drinks and corn hole before heading over to her place for a charcuterie an game night.


Kerri is the best hostess! She had the largest charcuterie try ever and so many delicious snacks. We ended up watching a few episodes of Fuller House before putting on some music and breaking out CAH. Fuller House was definitely cheesy but cute and the 90's kid in me is stoked it's back! After a few rounds of CAH we decided to venture out and hit up one of our favorite local bars for a nightcap before heading to bed. Sadly it was the worst drink I've ever had from there... so we didn't stay long.


 Sunday I woke up and took my fur baby to the groomer to get his hair cut and went for a 4 mile bike ride. Then I headed out to the pool for a bit to soak up some sun before running my obligatory Sunday errands. I ended my weekend with a healthy dinner and Resident Evil: Retribution. We seriously need another day in the weekend! Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

  1. I've been having the same issues with blogging too. It seems randomly certain blogs get zapped by my security at work and I can't view them :(! Let me know if I'm one of them for you and I'll see if I can change any settings.

    Looks like quite a fun and full weekend, great photos!

  18. Yikes-- seems like more and more companies are cracking down on non-work sites. I get it, but it's frustrating when you just want a little mental break! I wonder what some of the "forbidden" words are. Make today work, Rachel -CubicleCouture

  24. Weekends are totally too short!! That's a bummer about security at work. It happens at my office as every now and then. I watched some of Fuller House and thought it was cheesy but cute. That is so cool that you will be a published photographer! Congrats. Looking forward to seeing your work.

  26. What a great weekend! If the weather was anything like it was when we were there, then I'm sure it was perfect (even though it was a little on the cooler side). I think it's awesome that you get to do so many different things at work, it keeps it interesting! And, look at your pup, so cute!

  28. Nothing like a game night, I love CAH so much fun. Cannot wait to watch Fuller House either, binge watching is definitely on the cards. Wish it was hot enough for a pool day here, bring on the warmer temps.

  29. Totally with you on needing that extra day, especially since I stayed up way late to catch the Oscar's last night! Fuller House totally had my 90s kid self excited, my mom was loving the first episode too!

  30. oh that sucks about work. i swear, if my work did that, i'd have to stop blogging. i just don't have the energy to read / comment before work, and i like to do nothing in the evenings lol. oh no, you were my only non fuller house watching friend so now i am alone! just kidding, i will probably watch it soon. look at you, you fancy photographer - that is awesome!

  31. That's so awesome that you got to participate in a photo shoot for work! I can't wait to see what the final product looks like! Cheese trays, wine, Netflix, and CAH, I don't think that there's a better way to spend a Saturday night! I wish that we could have more days in the weekend too, but hopefully you're Monday has started off great!

  38. What a beautiful weekend! I marveled at Kerri's hosting skills, too! She is the best! I totally agree that we need longer weekends. Hope you have a great week, girl!

  39. That cheese board… YUM! Good job Kerri! Totally agree on the 5 day work week, 2 day weekend thing. I think it should be opposite ;)
