Feel Good Friday
Happy Friday! Thankful for the sacrifices of others so that I can live this life!
what I've been up to...
My cat, Sophie, has done a whole lot of this now that it’s summer!
I spent the night & had breakfast at my mama’s house this weekend!
outfits of the week…
For the past few months or so I’ve started *trying* to consistently share my OOTD (outfit of the day) just for fun! I’m typically able to link most pieces, but I also just share it to hopefully give a bit of inspiration & show you that you can recreate my outfits by just using pieces from your own closet.
Friday…
First real day of summer means I’m headed to my family’s sno cone shack!
Saturday…
Another day, another sno cone shack shift!
Sunday…
Comfy church OOTD!
Monday...
It doesn’t get much better than summer + a Callie Danielle tank top! I worked out in this & then stayed in it all day since I did a bunch of work around the house & kept getting sweaty lol.
Tuesday...
Tuesday morning workout OOTD!
Another day, another shift at the sno cone trailer! My tee is from Amazon & it’s 10% off making it less than $15! Perfect for the 4th of July!
Wednesday...
Enjoyed a day at home! Started off with a workout & then threw a sweatshirt on over it to work around the house & run some errands.
Thursday...
Thursday’s workout was an hour long & I about DIED!!! SO sweaty, but felt so good afterwards.
in case you missed it...
Y’all said you wanted more recipes! Ask & you shall receive! This week, my mom shared about her sweet + spicy grilled chicken recipe! Check out that post by clicking here.
As you may have seen, I started a new weekly post where I share my Weekly Sale Finds! I’ve been sharing them daily on my Instagram stories & I figured I could compile all of them from the week into one post so that y’all can see them, too! You can click here to read that post.
friday favs...
This is going to be my go-to drink all summer long for sure!
The cutest + trendiest Target tee that y’all love just as much as me is on sale for $12.75 today! I sized down.
This darling tiered t-shirt dress from Old Navy is on sale for $24 today!! Wearing a small.
A couple of weekends ago I helped out one of my coworkers with her daughter’s graduation party — I decorated & helped serve the food. There was an unpleasant smell in the building so I brought a couple of candles to light that are all the same scent. I always have a couple of these on hand because I LOVE them! I got LOTS of compliments on how good they smelled & everyone was shocked that they were my $15 Walmart candles! The smell is fabulous & they last a really long time.
My mom loves them too & she recently tried this pineapple & vanilla one & we love it!!! It smells so good — like a cozy summer. Love it!
Now it’s time for an Amazon haul!
My leather Apple Watch band is on sale for $11.04!!! I love wearing this to work or church with my nicer outfits. Makes me feel like I’m dressing up my Apple Watch & using it as an accessory!
I saw another blogger share about these belly sweat bands so I thought why not? Overall I like it. I am pretty claustrophobic & it’s supposed to be tight on your body so sometimes when I’m working out I get a little freaked out & have to convince myself to breathe through it lol it definitely makes me sweat more. I feel good getting a good sweat on!
I got this backpack cooler for my birthday in the fall & I’ve gotten SO MUCH USE out of it! Between taking it to football tailgates & games, various parties & gatherings, & even when I pick up groceries, it’s become an essential for sure. It comes in some other color options, but I thought heading into summer was the perfect time to share it again! It’s currently 27% off making it less than $30!!!
I’ve been getting some questions on my lip color recently so I thought I’d share! The best part is it’s less than $10 & you can get it at any drug store + Amazon! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bright pop of color for summer!!!
My top is actually from Amazon (fits boxy, but true to size), but these jeans are Target! I’ve been wanting some white jeans for awhile now & I thought these were a great option. I sized up based on reviews, but I actually didn’t need to. They are super comfortable & have subtle distressing on the knees. These are perfect for spring & summer!
This dress just might be my fav one this summer! The print & fit is just downright darling. It’s a super comfortable material & has pockets! It’s a maxi dress with a peplum style & you guys know how I feel about that lol straight up LOVE IT!!! I’m wearing a small & would say it fits a little bit oversized as far as the width in the body, but the arms & chest are true to size. It comes in other prints & colors, but I’m obsessed with this one! The bright pink flowers match my fav summer lip perfectly!!
I’ve talked about this before, but I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect summer tank & y’all, I’ve finally found it!!! No surprise that it’s from Amazon. It’s incredibly soft & thin & airy. I love the high neckline & the racerback straps. This black color doesn’t show sweat which is wonderful! Both my mom & I have ordered more colors because it’s so good! & it’s less than $20 which is a total jackpot!
I feel like this tee basically embodies all educators during summer break… easy livin’! This is a mens medium & I would say it fits true to size! It’s not see through which is a plus.
Summer pjs / lounge fit, but make it cozy! I’ve seen this on Amazon before & thought it was so cute, but didn’t buy it until just now. This top could totally be worn with denim shorts now or even jeans & a cardigan in the fall! So cute! I’m wearing a small & would say both pieces fit true to size.
Last, but certainly not least, is this darling purple pj set! It’s so darn cute & super soft & light which is perfect for summer jammies! I love this purple color (though a bunch more are offered). These would be so cute for a bridal party getting ready together on wedding day! Wearing a medium & would say it fits true to size!
