This was a highly caffeinated week for me. I was running around and doing so much (maybe too much!) this week and had plans every night which I generally try and avoid ha. I am going to try and take some time off on Monday for the holiday but regardless my weekend will hold some work given how full of meetings this past week was. It meant less time in front of my computer to get things done. But a lot of good-feeling things were set in motion which had me feeling really good!

Hope you enjoy this week’s roundup & have a great weekend!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Made a playlist inspired by Paris. My new favorite thing to have on in the background.
• Read and LOVED this book. My goodness it was a true delight. I think I had a smile on my face reading most of it. Cannot recommend it enough as an easy, light, truly enjoyable book.
• Made these crazy easy, delicious BBQ chicken pineapple bowls. Started the slow cooker before I went to yoga and then my friend and I came back to them nearly ready at my apartment. Highly recommend this recipe!
• Had wonderful meetings with some favorite brands: Wander Beauty, Ann Taylor, Follain, NARS & The Seaweed Bath Co. I also got to preview Ann Taylor’s forthcoming collections and they are GOOD!
