friday five

{1} We have all of our wedding photos but I do not know where to begin to start sharing them!!! It is so overwhelming! What do y'all want to see!?!


{2} I finished my full second week of work today. I am so exhausted, but happy and really enjoying what I am doing. I'll be training for a LONG time, but I feel like I made a great career move. I have a great office and some hilarious coworkers, even a few girls my age which is awesome!

{3} My wedding diet and exercise came and went like Christmas. I felt awesome before the wedding and even the first few weeks we were getting settled. I feel like the past ten days I have felt disgusting, probably because I wasn't exercising and resting my knee. I've been running some this week and it is VERY hard to get back into!

{4} I feel like my blog has been doing a million different directions lately. Life, fashion, wedding, random things... I'd LOVE to know what you want to read and enjoy. Do you like more IRL things? More products? More pictures of my husband and dog? Tell me, tell me!!


 {5} I decided to do a little different spin on this week's #Friday'sFancies stripes theme!

Casual, yet dressy summery, stripey outfit for today!

sun hats

After spending many days of my #funemployment by the pool and/or beach, I realized that a good sun hat is 100% necessary. We are all aware of the dangers of the sun, especially with your face! Though I am not always wearing a hat while in the sun, I try to wear one when I can. 

I snag one of my brother's or Tyler's hats from their closet to wear. That's probably why I usually end up with a camouflage or other manly type of hat.

I put together a couple of hats that are super cute and beach/pool approved.

Do you have a fun sun hat?!

my daily products

When it comes to products, I don't really change it up very often. I find something I like and I stick to it. 

Just last week I actually just found new razors that I love! It also helped that I had a coupon for buy one razor, get a package of cartridges free (SCORE!). I've recently also found the Paul Mitchell shampoo after my hormones and wedding stress made my hair funky! So far, so good, but I still love my Nioxin. I swear it doesn't make my hair greasy like other products do. Another staple is my Dove unscented, sensitive skin soap and body wash. It is seriously the best soap for women. Scented stuff is NOT good for you, ladies! Ask me why if you really want to know (TMI).

Here are my (almost) daily products!

products




Makeup Remover // Neutrogena 
Face Wash // Olay

weekend wear: bachelorette weekend

This weekend I am hosting a bachelorette party for my bride-to-be friend Caroline! I am having six girls total, so I have been busy cooking, decorating, and cleaning! I am really excited that it is supposed to be nice and warm (finally)! 

We are going to have fun playing games, drinking sangria, laying on the beach, and going out to celebrate the bachelorette! Cannot wait to recap the weekend for you next week!!!

Until then, here is what I wish I was wearing for the weekend ahead!
