The Weekly Wrap-Up: July 7-13

Sunday, July 13, 2014


It's time to wrap-up my week!

I love doing this type post because it's a fun way to both keep track of what I've gotten up to over the week while also sharing fun and interesting events here!


Monday July 7

A pretty relaxing day. I worked out, cooked a bit, and did a fun manicure! I started to feel a bit sick about midday so I just did nothing and slept and ate toast and soup!

I looked pretty good before I descended into sleepy sicky cuteness!


Tuesday July 8

I felt really ill today, so I had to skip work and slept in. I started a feel a bit better and then went on a long walk with my mom and took a bath. 

Another few spottings of the neighborhood kitties!!! (I'm getting my own kittens soon)


I then watched a few movies and TV shows and went to bed early!

Wednesday July 9

Today was another chill day of working and blogging and writing. I also spent about an hour at the public library because I love to read and just wanted to get away for a bit. 

My #ootd was a super fun one, that I needed to share. It's a pretty frequently wore outfit but there's no shame in that. I just love that the butterfly on my shirt is made up of TONS OF OTHER SMALLER BUTTERFLIES!!!!


I went to the grocery store to get some food and produce, which was fun. There was a 10/$1 sale on limes so I ended up eating 20!

Notice the cheese related humor on the right.....I was laughing for about a 1000 years at that!


Thursday July 10

I worked today as well, and after I got home my parents were already gone to a concert so I kind of did nothing all night, since I was still a bit tired and grumpy from being ill!

Since it was Throwback Thursday, I texted my sister this photo of us, where I legit look like a demon and of course, she instagrammed it! Haha




Friday July 11

I don't work on Fridays so I slept way in (2:30 oops!). When I woke up, I had some cereal and got ready since I needed to run some errands. My parents went to a double-feature at the movie theater and I headed to Target, Ulta, and Walgreens. I picked up some awesome stuff which I'll share in my next Friday Finds!

Freckles and I went on a trip to the drugstore as well. How cute is she?


After I got home, Freck and I watched a few movies then conked out early!

Saturday July 12

I got up really early today because quite often my mom and I go garage-saling, shopping, and head to the Farmer's Market! We hit a few garage sales (and found nothing special) then headed to our local Farmer's Market.

I love getting food and plants and fruit at Farmer's Markets. Most everything is fresh, organic, and raised with no chemicals. We picked up fresh blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries and got a bunch of fresh veggies. 


One of my favorite stands is run by a baker and her mother. There are tons of fresh and tasty baked goods so I picked up a ton of stuff from there, including a loaf of Chocoalte Zuchhini Bread. (It sounds scary but it's the best stuff on earth!)

After the Farmer's Market, I watched the Third Place Game and then my Mom and I went to the grocery store! We had delicious, fresh chicken for dinner with green beans we picked up at the market! I spent the rest of my night watching Psych. It was a great day!

Sunday July 13

And all that brings us to today, Sunday. Today is usually a day in my typical week where I catch up on work, blogging, and cleaning! I started the day off making breakfast and cleaning up my room before sitting down to watch the World Cup Final!

I was rooting more for Germany, who I've loved as a team for years now! I was sooo excited to see them win, even in extra time! I was glad it didn't go to penalties because, especially since it was the last game, I think it needed to be decided in actual game play!


So that was my week! It was pretty fun and productive and I'm looking forward to this coming week because I'm going to go visit family!

Hope everyone had an awesome week!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Sunday, July 6, 2014

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posting the past few days! It was a pretty busy Fourth of July weekend so I apologize! I hope you, if you're one who celebrates the 4th, had a lovely holiday!

This post is just a bit of a personal weekend wrap-up type; recounting what I did this weekend along with some pictures! I hope you guys enjoy and hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Thursday July 3rd

I had work until about 3 today and then I came home, watched some TV and walked my dog. Then my friend came over and we watched the premiere episode of The Leftovers (it was really good by the way), and then did some little fireworks at my house! 

Time for sparklers!


How pretty do these look!?


Friday the 4th 

Today was the big holiday! I woke up and watched the two world cup matches of the day (Go Argentina!) and then met up with my friend later that night. We hung out for a bit and then went to watch the fireworks that my city does every 4th. Everyone gathers on the Quad, sits on blankets, and enjoys the fireworks!


Here's my very festive 4th outfit! The sweater is from Necessary Clothing, and I'm wearing Jeans from American Eagle!



The fireworks were absolutely beautiful. I've always loved them. I think they're such an amazing feat of science and technology and pyrotechnics so I'm constantly amazed by them. I do wish we had fireworks like the ones in Lord of the Rings though! :)


The fireworks ended a little before 10, so me and friends came back to my house and did a few more fun, little fireworks! 


I always do the Climbing Panda in honor of my sister, Amanda. Her nickname is Panda and she's far away in D.C. so I set off the Panda firework in her honor!


Freckles, my dog, was very nervous and scared all weekend. This was her, curled up on top of me after I got back inside! Poor girl!

Saturday the 5th

Yesterday was a low-key day. I woke up feelings kind of sick so Freckles and I watched the World Cup games and then went on a Starbucks run! She was really happy to be going along, can't you tell! (The dress if Forever 21, the Kimono/Robe is NastyGal)


That brings us to.......

Sunday the 6th

Today is a pretty lazy day. I'm still kind of sick so I think I'll be doing a bunch of cleaning, and some more lounging around! 

Hope you all had a fun, safe, 4th!
