Happy friday! I wanted to check in and post a short read of what’s on my radar: weekend plans, cool things I found on the interwebs, travel plans, Memphis happenings, and such. Let me know if you think this should be a regular weekly post!
This week has been absolutely insane BUT in the best possible way. I scored a new social media marketing client AND my Girl Scout cookie order arrived. I’m sure I’ll regret the cookie order sooner than later.

Have an awesome weekend and thanks so much for reading! Don’t forget to hang out with me this weekend on Stories.
So happy you liked the positive morning tips, Denise! Thanks for featuring my article. <3
Of course! I really enjoyed your post 🙂
Great post, love learning about fellow bloggers x
That skirt really is festive! It kind of made me think of Mardi Gras. And I LOVE the idea of the Black Restaurant Week! It’s so important to promote smaller, family-owned restaurants and to help minority business owners establish a solid clientele. This is a wonderful initiative.
Isn’t it the best? I think I have to get it for my birthday! Also, I totally agree at MBRW. I can’t wait to see how it turns out this year. Thanks for reading! <3
Love this list, you should definitely make it a weekly thing! And I have no advice on the girls trip other than GO! 😊
Sounds like the best advice! 🙂
I am almost out of lip scrub and that Rose Diamonds looks worth a try for sure! I love your black, black, and black shoes… LOL And I am dying for that skirt!
Now I am off to check out the morning tips. I’d love if you’d drop by my blog sometime! http://www.gwingal.com/2018/02/creating-a-new-flower-bed/

I’m glad I found someone as obsessed over the skirt as I am! Oh, and the lip scrub is AMAZING. <3
I saw that Refinery 29 article and it was a fantastic read. 🙂 I’ve been to Sedona and New Orleans, and they’re very different. I think it would depend on your travel personality. Sedona is more outdoorsy, with lots of outdoor cafes, art shops, hiking, and trails where you can go 4-wheeling. New Orleans seems more like a girls trip destination (lots of bars and socializing opportunities), but you can’t go wrong with either one!
Wow, thanks for the tips! I know they’re both so different but I might be the tie-breaker and suggest Sedona after reading your description 🙂
The lip exfoliator sounds amazing. I have never tried one but am always up for trying new things!
