Hi, friend. I’m following Rosie-Pose’s lead today and taking a nap any chance I get. Her new favorite spot is this sunny patch right outside my office. She often shows up during work meetings to make her presence known!

It’s been a long week, and I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that it’s Saturday. Connor, poor thing, came down with a cold this week, so she was home with me on Thursday and Friday. She’s feeling better today, thank goodness. Me, on the other hand… I’m feeling tapped. I had a lot of unexpected things happen at work this week. Deadlines and caring for a sick child means I haven’t had much rest, so I’m taking the time to recharge this weekend.

This made me so happy.
Catchy!

How do you feel about savory breakfast?
Interesting.
Enjoy the rest of your day. What are your plans?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Big bike ride for me! The dancing couple is SO good. Is his t-shirt featuring a cat with a bow tie lol..
I am sitting under the dryer. Getting my color done and highlights touched up for the summer. Then to TJ’s since it’s in this part of town ☺️
Take care of yourself this weekend. Sending calm thoughts!
Look at the happy kitty on those beautiful floors! I hope you get the rest you need this weekend!
I love sunny naps too, Rosie!
My parents drove to the new house yesterday and stayed the night, and left early afternoon today. They brought their dog Stella, who Hettie absolutely loves. It was so nice to see them.
Afterwards Hettie and I took a nap and took a long walk. There’s a whole family of ducks at the park we go to, which is super cute.
Love the perfume articles! It’s fascinating.
I would road trip to Walnut Creek to try out that manicure machine.
Hope you have a relaxing and Happy Mother’s Day! with your family!
BTW, are those your new floors? They’re gorgeous! What type of wood is that? I love the wide plank.
I’m placing a Target pick up order! I got Wet n Wild mascara, chips, Sweet Chef sheet masks, and Native x Baked by Melissa deodorant in Ginger Lemonade.
