Feel Good Friday

Happy Friday! I’ll be spending the majority of the day with all of my cheerleaders at cheer camp & I’m pumped!! I was a cheerleader all four years of high school & loved it. I feel like camp is always a great opportunity to see all of the things you can accomplish & what type of squad you’ll have that year. I’m sure my girls are going to do great & I can’t wait to watch them grow & learn!

what I've been up to...

My youngest sister, Avery, is going to be a junior in high school this coming school year & her summers are SO busy between weights, volleyball practice & scrimmages, cheer practice & camp, working at the sno cone shack — all while still trying to be a “kid”! Monday night she had scrimmages all evening in a town that’s really close to mine, so she invited me to come & I was so glad I went! It was so nice to watch her play & it made me SO excited for school to start!

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you might have seen the poll I did in stories a couple of weeks ago asking if I should chop my hair off or not. Well, I did it!

Here’s my before & after! SO MUCH HAIR!!!

The same sister I mentioned earlier is a weirdo & loves cleaning things lol I am the total opposite & HATE cleaning! I hired her to come to my house to clean my sinks & shower & she did a phenomenal job! She uses these brush attachments that go onto a drill & they are legit life changing!!! They make cleaning so easy & effortless (I’ve been told that they work wonderfully on tile as well)! Truly the cleanest my things have ever been!

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. Since I work in a middle school, I’m officially on summer break so my OOTDs will look a little different. Trading in my pixie pants for comfy shorts!

Sunday…

Sunday was pretty chill & rainy so I went with a thin sweater & some wedges. I have this Walmart sweater in the neutral grey color as well because I loved it so much! & of course, gotta add some fun glasses & jewelry!

& then I of course changed into my comfies right when I got home lol. Love this lounge set, also from Walmart!

Monday...

Monday was my only free day at home & it started with cheer practice & then errands & work stuff at home. This whole outfit is Old Navy — I got this tank last summer & it doesn’t look like it’s in stock anymore because I can’t find it on their website.

Tuesday...

I wear this tank & these shorts every single week lol I just love them so much!

Wednesday...

Wednesday was a work day at the sno cone trailer!

Thursday...

& another one!

In case you missed it, this week I shared my monthly book review post! You can read that post by clicking here.

friday favs...

During the school year, my mornings can get a bit rushed & I often neglect breakfast. In the summertime, I’m able to slow down & enjoy it a bit more, especially when it tastes this good! Revive Super Foods offers prepackaged smoothie mixes that you just add water / almond milk to, blend, & bam! You have a delicious smoothie for breakfast! They also have overnight oat & soup mixes as well! Having everything you need in one little container that you store in your freezer is SO nice & efficient for someone as on-the-go as I am! So far my fav smoothie mix is liquid gold! So delicious & refreshing for summer.

The best part of this whole thing? They gave me a discount code (rsf55simplysmalltownblog) for all to get 55% off your first box!!! No joke! I’ll link to their site here where my discount code will be automatically applied!

Absolutely love Walmart lounge sets! These two pieces are sold separately, but match perfectly & come in a bunch of other color options as well. I’m wearing a medium in the shorts & they fit pretty true to size, if anything they run a little small. They have a raw seam & a functional drawstring. I’m wearing a small in the crewneck & it’s WAAAY oversized so I’d recommend sizing down 1-2 sizes. Both are incredibly soft & super comfy! The material is kind of like sweats material with fleece on the inside — so cozy!

Amazon lounge wear comin’ atcha! These biker shorts are not athletic material, instead, they’re a super soft ribbed material which is perfect for hanging out in. They’re the most comfortable biker shorts I’ve ever tried on! I got a medium in the shorts as well as the tank so that it would be long enough to cover my bottom. The tank comes in a pack of two so I got a black one as well!

I don’t own anything from lululemon, but I’ve heard from other bloggers that this zip up jacket is a dupe for one of their pieces. I absolutely love the lavender color & how sleek & flattering this jacket is. I got a medium so that it covers my bottom in biker shorts or leggings, but I could’ve done a small because it’s pretty loose in my arms & I had to roll the sleeves a bunch. It comes in a ton of other color options as well & I think the black one is calling my name!

This outfit is a mix of Walmart (the top) & Amazon (the shorts). I’ve been looking for some outfits that could either be worn super casual or a little dressed up & this one is perfect! I didn’t even fix my hair, I just added some fun bright jewelry & wedges & it dresses it up just a bit. The little frill along them hemline of the shorts is just darling!! I got a medium because that’s what I usually get, but these are MASSIVE! Like I rolled them three times for this pic, & unrolled, they went down to almost my knees!!! Plus, they’re pretty roomy so my bum almost shows by the split hem on the side lol HIGHLY RECOMMEND SIZING DOWN! I got a small in the tee & it is also super oversized! I honestly feel like it fits more like a large or an oversized medium. I love how bright & vibrant the colors are & how much the blue in the tee matches my blue shorts, they seriously match perfectly!
