TGIF

Happy Friday!

Oh. My. Gosh.

I had been thinking about bringing back my TGIF posts and when I went to see when I had posted my last one, it was the week before my life changed forever. OOF.

No time like the present to renew and restart one of my favorite blog features. I’ll be back to rounding up my favorite features, sales, and things I love! Maybe not every week, but definitely when I’m feeling inspired, and I’m certainly going to try and be more consistent with it!

I basically didn’t wear earrings for a few years because my ears would end up hurting after a couple of hours. I thought I was super sensitive to any metals, but I’ve come to discover that it may actually have been the backs bothering me. I’ve recently started wearing huggie hoops, alternating between a pair I got from the Nordstrom sale (these are similar and I actually like them better), and a bigger set my mom got me from The Laytonville Family Room.

Have you been to Mercy Me yet? It’s becoming one of my favorite spots in DC. They have an excellent HUGE patio for outdoor dining, a killer menu, and fun cocktails. I suggest the Hen And Pancakes (kind of their take on chicken and waffles) and Egg Arepas.

Especially this year, don’t forget your flu shot! I absolutely love being a member of One Medical-they actually sent me a reminder and I could walk into the office at any time the lab was open to get it taken care of.

If you’re looking for fall candles to cozy up your home, try shopping small (and local to DC!) I’m obsessed with my Bellamy Rae fall box, and Sarah just came out with new candles, inspired by her toddler, Bellamy, herself! How cute is that!?

I just finished reading Hollywood Park by Mikel Jollett. It took me a little while to get into it but I ended up not being able to put it down:

Mikel Jollett, the front man of indie band Airborne Toxic Event, chronicles his tumultuous life. Jollett was born into one of the country’s most infamous cults and subjected to a childhood filled with poverty, addiction and emotional abuse. What comes through the pages is a story of fierce love and family loyalty. This moving and profound memoir is for anyone who loves a good redemption story.”

Don’t forget you can always peek at my wish list over in my sidebar. Here’s what I’m currently craving:

Around the internet

I personally love carving pumpkins, but I know a lot of people do not. There are so many options to decorate them that do not involve cutting and scooping. Love the colors in this post! via oh joy!

I’m being Jojo Siwa for Halloween, so any makeup involved will be bold and glittery. However, I’m living for this pressed flower makeup tutorial! via Lauren Conrad

If you don’t have your Halloween costume planned, there’s still time to pull together one of these easy looks! via Camille Styles

Since my separation, I’m not sure if I want kids anymore. That might change, but it might not. I’m not even sure I really ever want to get married or even live with someone again. My friends’ kids are all precious and I’ve already told one of them I want to be the cool auntie who gets her girls their American Girl Dolls, but I’m just undecided for myself and that’s ok! Not wanting children is ok! via The Stripe

We have a big election coming up! I know that’s probably at the forefront of everyone’s mind, but be sure to pay attention and vote in your local elections too! via Jess Ann Kirby

Have a great weekend!
