Vacay Wish List


John and I leave for Mexico in just over a week - and I have already started packing!  This vacay is all about relaxing, relaxing, relaxing.  Our days will consist of lounging by the pool, walks on the beach, guacamole and chips galore, and dinners out in Cabo.  

Even though I have a closet full of beach attire (I'm a Florida girl!)....
 here are a few items that would be perfect to add to my suitcase for this Mexican getaway!  ;)

Friday Five

Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake (made with frozen bananas instead of ice cream).

1. Healthy Dessert

I am the biggest fan of this delicious flavor combo and recently tried making this shake.  I left out the syrup and sea salt - and it was amazing!  So delicious.  I may even add flax seed next time, or add a little protein powder for after a workout. 




2. Mani of the week 
Essie Funny Face :)
Love this bright bold pink for spring!  
Next on my nail polish wish list, Essie Boom Boom Room.






MERONA Yellow Chiffon Crossbody

3. New to the closet :)

I found this little bag at Target (on clearance!), and just couldn't pass up the bright, fun hue!  
It's definitely much more neon than it looks in the picture, and the little clasp is tortoise!  Can't wait to pair it with maxi dresses, or jean shorts and a t shirt this summer.  





Trina Turk Cover up

For our upcoming Mexican Vacay, I was looking for some great cover ups, and ran across this gorgeous printed caftan at........  TJ Maxx!  It was the find of the century, and literally a fraction of the original price tag!  So excited about this one. 



Piper Necklace

One of my girlfriends who sells S&D was giving a major discount this past week, so I scooped up this dainty and feminine gold necklace.  I think it will be perfect for layering with my monogram necklace, or just by itself.  






4. Sephora Gift Card

My sweet big bro got me this for my bday last week, and I am so excited to buy myself a fun treat.  
I typically go to Sephora for my tried and true faves (this, this, or this), but I would really like to try something new and different!  Any suggestions?  If you could only buy 1 thing from Sephora all year, what would it be?





5. Adam Levine The Voice

Hubs and I are obsessed with Adam, I mean, the show.  SO good, and so entertaining.  Our favorites for sure are Danielle (so adorable), Sasha (so stunning), and Amber (move over Carrie Underwood!)
American Idol has been such a letdown because of the judges this year, and The Voice has truly taken over.  Are you fans too? 


Happy Weekend, loves!!

Birthday Loot

I'm in my pajamas.
I have very little makeup on.  And my hair is a mess.
BUT I had so much fun opening some of my birthday presents last weekend, and I just had to share some of my pics!  Lots of great loot!  And very thankful and blessed to have such wonderful and generous family and friends!
YAY for birthdays!!  

The best gift of all was definitely spending the weekend with my wonderful family!
So blessed.  So thankful.
And so excited to entertain, cook, decorate, and dress all fancy, with my new goodies ;)

BBQ, Bocce Ball, and Birthdays

We were so excited to host John's parents in Princeton this past weekend.  They are truly such a joy and a blessing to us.  We had the best time - and were thankful for perfect spring weather!


They brought our favorite foods, all the way from Memphis, TN! 




Saturday, we ventured out to Duke Farms - a lovely, sprawling park, where we spent most of the afternoon riding bikes!  




And exploring these gorgeous orchid gardens!

(I really do like my husband, I wanted the flowers in the middle of us in the picture!) 




Saturday night we dined al fresco at my favorite pizza place in Princeton - just minutes from our house!





Sunday, we enjoyed a wonderful Church service, and then we spent another beautiful day outdoors!
This time it was bocce ball and frisbee at Mercer Park!  




Cinco de Mayo of course had to be celebrated that night - John made delicious mango margaritas :)


And we celebrated my birthday!  


It was SUCH a great weekend!!  
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!!
