Happy back to the grind friends! I have a busy week of meetings ahead of me (which has kind of been my "normal" lately) so excuse me if I continue to be slow to reply, post, etc. Gotta love those busy weeks at work! In all seriousness, I really do love being busy at work so I'm not complaining. How was everyone's weekend? I had a fun weekend filled with dog time, girl time, wine and shopping. Let's jump right into it!

I was dog sitting this weekend so Friday after work I headed to pick up the pooch I was baby sitting and sat outside with him on a patio enjoying the nice weather and a margarita. 

Saturday started with a crazy hard boxing class at 9Round (has anyone else tried it?) before meeting up with the girls for some wine and shopping at Disney Springs. I am STILL sore today from 9Round. It was a great workout but I don't know if it was for me.

We got to check out a new restaurant that just opened at Disney Springs, Teralina, and it was super cute. It had amazing patio seating, an outdoor bar and tons of food and drink options. 

Happy Monday friends! 

I'm starting my weekend post on Thursday because I actually went out on a Thursday night. Guys, can you believe it? I went out on a school night! Crazy, right? Thursday after work I headed out to a local brewery to meet up with my OG bestie. We haven't seen each other in almost two years so it was really nice to catch up, take a ton of pics and have a few drinks.

Friday I had more out of towners visiting so we headed out to happy hour and pizza after work. 

Saturday was tourist day. A group of us headed to Disney Springs for brunch/lunch before heading over to the outlets to do some shopping. I didn't get much but I did score some super cute stuff from Lululemon for whenever I can manage to work out again... *sigh*

Sunday was rainy and gross so I ended up just relaxing at home, binge watching episodes of The Office and painting my nails. I broke out my spring/summer colors and went with Bikini So Teeny and guys, I forgot how much I LOVE this color! Now I just need a summer tan to match... LOL. 

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Happy Monday my little leprechauns! I know, that was a bit weird but what can I say, I'm in the St. Patrick's Day spirit already! I'm not sure what I'm doing for St. Patty's Day yet but you can be sure Kerri and I will be out celebrating our Irish(ish)-ness. Yup. I also made up a word today. What can I say, I'm on a roll. I know I've been a bit off my game since I started my new job and losing Novie but I feel like I'm starting to get into the swing of things so expect me to (hopefully) be back to my normal self soon. In the meantime, I'm sharing some snippets of my weekend and speaking of weekending, a super huge congrats to my blogger bestie, Biana on her baby announcement! SO excited for you girl!

Friday after work I buckled down and did some blog planning over happy hour at Disney Springs. Traffic was a nightmare (big shock there) so it was easier just to grab a drink and some uber fattening fried stuff before heading home.

Saturday was early morning boot camp in the freezing cold. It was rough getting up and going out there but considering how often I'm working out lately, it was needed. Later I headed down to Universal Studios to see Jason DeRulo at the Mardi Gras concert series. Did I mention how much I love living in Florida? It's so nice to be able to just pop over to a theme park for a concert.

Sunday I headed to brunch with some work friends. Mimosas and TopGolf... I'm sure I was every bit as awkward as you guys imagined but it was fun and it's really nice to have my new co-workers be so embracing of me.


Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Happy humpday loves! This girl is seriously loving the sunshine and warmer weather but most especially the low humidity. Can we say, "hello good hair days"? But the nicer weather also means I've been spending more and more time outside, not always great for my allergies but I love soaking up that Vitamin D as much as I can before it get so hot down here you sweat just thinking about going outside. I also love that while it's warmer, it's not blazing hot so I'm able to layer and keep rocking my leather jacket that I only got to break out a few times this winter!

Luckily there are so many things to do outside here in Florida, I have no shortage of adventures on the weekends. Since they've completely redone Disney Springs (*cough* Downtown Disney) I've loved getting to go down there and explore, grab a bite to eat and/or drink, do some shopping and just people watch.There's also about a million great places to take pictures so with the exception of the millions of people every where, it's kind of a blogger's paradise. A few weeks ago when I was down there, I took advantage of the gorgeous day and rocked one of my favorite knotted t-shirt dresses. This dress is super comfy and I love the knotted detail on the side! Since I knew I'd be walking around all day I decided to pair it with my Adidas Superstars, which are easily some of the comfiest shoes I own, and topped off my look with my leather jacket to keep warm when the sun went down. How do you take some of your favorite winter items into spring?

Happy Monday babes! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! As always, mine was a bit too short but I can't complain. As I've previously mentioned, Disney Springs has undergone a MAJOR overhaul recently, to the point where if you haven't bee there within the past year, you probably wouldn't even recognize it! One of the things I love about the new Disney Springs is the shopping. There is enough shopping to keep a girl occupied for hours and one of my favorite skincare stores just opened there this weekend, Kiehl's. 

I was invited to the grand opening of the new Kiehl's store at Disney Springs so after work on Friday I headed down there to check it out (and hopefully not go broke from all the shopping!). One of the main things I love about Kiehl's is that their products are truly high-end, luxurious products with a more affordable price tag and their employees are SO knowledgeable. If you have any concerns or problems just let them know and they can provide you with some excellent product suggestions and even some fun samples to try out! Ok, now back to the new store... Located in the "Town Center" section of Disney Springs (which is basically in the center), it's nestled dangerously next to Anthropologie, Zara and Sephora. The inside of the store is different from any of the other Kiehl's according to it's president, Chris Salgardo. It's also one of the larger stores so if you can't find it there... you might not be looking hard enough ;) And for a blogger like myself, there is no shortage of gorgeous Instagrammable spots! Not sure what products you want to take home? No problem, just test them out! In the center there's a test area where you can sit and try out almost all the products, speak with a professional and get suggestions and figure out what's best for you. I got to go home with a few products to try out during the event and a few extra samples from one of the amazing employees that I can't wait to share with you guys later this week! Be sure to stop in the brand new Kiehl's if you're at Disney Springs, and don't forget to take a few pictures while you're in there, you won't regret it I promise!

Hello friends! Sadly I'm at work today so for all of you enjoying the day off, I'm jealous! I don't have another 3-day weekend until May so this is the longest stretch of the year for me. I think I need to plan a vacation, what do you think? We had pretty much the exact opposite weather this weekend from what we did last weekend (go home Florida weather, you're drunk) so I got a nice mix of inside time and relaxing time in. With that being said, let's jump right in to my weekend recap with B, shall we?

Friday was my work from home day so I got a ton of stuff done. I got my pup's hair cut since it was much needed, I cleaned up a bit, got a ton of stuff done that I needed to for work and still manged to meet up with Kerri for happy hour! Yup, we are still both alive and besties, no worries! ;) Those silly holidays kept us busy in both personal and work lives but we're back!

Saturday I woke up bright and early, literally. I was up at 6:45 am and unable to go back to bed so I finished up the cleaning I wasn't able to get to Friday and caught up on Ladies of London while blogging. It felt nice to get ahead of the schedule for once. Once it was an acceptable time to be out and about, I headed up to the mall to pick up a few things before heading home, renting a movie and relaxing on the couch for the remainder of the day. Yup, I was a complete couch potato Saturday and I'm not sorry for it!

Sunday I headed down to Downtown Disney (yes, I still refuse to call it Disney Springs #sorrynotsorry) to explore for a bit before grabbing a bite to eat and heading to the Breaking Benjamin concert at House of Blues. Instead of writing about it, below is a bit of a photo dump from the day. 

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
