I can’t believe the weekend’s over, it felt too short for sure :( I had ridiculously slow/barely working at times internet connection at my mom’s over the weekend, so I didn’t get to finish the latest Link Lovin’ post (which I’m moving to Saturdays, by the way), but I disconnected and reconnected enough times to get it together for Mixplate Monday. Other than that, though, I ended up quite thankful that it gave me to spend time with family, reading, journaling, and playing with the puppies :)
Last Week’s Highlights
- Ate lots of raw fish. I need to get my Mercury levels checked!
- Played the usual Mixplate Monday
- Watched a few movies via Redbox: The Company Men, The Dilemma, I Am Number Four, Just Go With It
- Introduced a new column, Bargain Bombshell (for beauty on a budget), and reviewed Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Gel-Cream in the first edition
- Bid farewell to my family — Who is going to Vegas without me :(
- Meditated without God
- Spent lots of time with those cutie pie dogs of mine <3
- Listed my Summer to-dos
- Had a Fresh Catch lunch day with my coworkers, and I tried the crab sandwiches (delish!) for the first time
Weekend Happenings
- Spend a few days at my mom’s, baby/dog/house sitting while she’s in Vegas for my cousin Brandee’s high school graduation

As of Today
- Wearing: My favorite casual green dress; I wore it last week, but I had to do laundry at my mom’s cause I ran out of clothes, lol!
- Writing: A to-do list and some blog drafts; Sometimes I get in the mood to work with pen & paper
- Shopping: For groceries, I’m planning on taking home lunch every single day for the next two weeks
I wanna know, what were your recent highlights? And what are you up to?
Cheers!
