Weekending + 2 month Countdown
December 15, 2014I started off my weekend with this email. Finally done with all my grad school loans. Such an amazing feeling.
Second. I have been loving all these “cold” weather outfits (I use the word loosely down in FL).
Third. Publix peeps guess what is BOGO??
We bring our own hot sauce. This is my favorite over Sriracha. Sambal I highly recommend it! I met Mark there and he texted me a reminder to bring it I was like listen……got this handled already.
Finally if you follow me on Instagram you may have seen this already. Look at this little gem I found while packing. Seriously look at how far we have come. That was my phone in Grad school. I loved that phone. I really wished it turned on…..I’m sure there were some doozie texts in there that took a million years to write when you had to press each key 4 times for one letter.
How was your weekend? Did you have a million holiday parties? Isn’t it so fun to bust out the holiday sparkle?! Check back tomorrow for my things I’m Digging lately! xoxoxo

Yay for wedding countdowns! I’m so proud of you for packing too! I always do better under pressure. If I procrastinate and then settle in to it, I get more accomplished. Cannot wait to see your shoes! That sushi looks amazing! Have a great week, friend! xo

I’m OBSESSED with the outfit you wore for your holiday parties – all black and a statement necklace is ridiculously chic. Did your dress fitting still go well even though you didn’t have your shoes and undergarments? Also, you need to do a tutorial on that braid – I need that in my hair asap!

Girl- that braid is amazing!!! I have to try, but will probably fail because I suck miserably at braids. Ps. CONGRATS on paying off your loans, that’s such a great accomplishment and such a huge weight off your shoulders I’m sure. I dread the day I have to start paying those things. Happy Monday :)

Congrats on paying off your student loan! I know you are excited to have that gone! I’m gonna have to try to find some of that hot sauce for the hubs. Where do you find it? And I wanna know how you get your hair braided like that! It looks great!
Emily says
That sushi looks amazing! That’s so funny you bring your own hot sauce but it’s actually genius and I should start doing that as well. Love the braid #nailedit and all the FL winter outfits! I used to have a razor as well can still hear that techno-like ringtone.
Nadia @ The View is Beautiful says
Ok that hair is amazing, I think we have semi-similar hair types so I hope it turns out as well when I try it out! Tyler went for “boys night” sushi on Friday and I can’t tell you how much I wish he had brought me some home yours looks sooo good. Congrats for paying off your student loan – what a relief right!

Nadine Lynn says
This weekend really was a blur. I demand a recount on days! I think we were missing one! Look how cute you are in all of your outfits! And that sushi…..that sushi looks amazing!
The phone throwbacks crack me up. I shared all my old ones awhile back…well minus the Nokia ones because those were REALLY old! Those were the days!
Amanda - Voyage of the MeeMee says
Bahahah… I can’t believe you bring your own shit to restaurants. Wait. I can! ;P

That braid, girl! So cute. OMG and I just went grocery shopping tonight and picked up that peppermint bark Talenti and I seriously thought of you as I put it in my cart, haha! I’m going to bust it out right now…
J Trogstad says
What a fun post. Congrats on paying off your loan!! yay!
Lara @ Cookies Cardio and Clothes says
OMG, paying off your grad school loans must feel amazing. I’ve still got a loooong way to go. Hopefully one day before I retire. I’m really hoping that one day there will be a giant forgiveness bill for people who’ve been paying for a long a$$ time.
I’ve also been seriously contemplating how I can get away with leggings and boots to work.
Kay R. says
I could eat sushi every night as well and that platter looks so awesome!! Also congrats on the loan being paid off that deserves a bloody drink!
Julie @ Just the Joy's says
WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO to the student loan payoff! I’ll drink to that! Oh wait… I can’t. ;) Love all the “cold” weather outfits. Add a couple layers onto that and that’s me over here all bundled up as if I live in anarticia. Cant wait to see what wedding shoes you have picked out! Love your hair braided like that! I wish I could do that! I’m totally incompetent when it comes to braiding my own hair :) I totally had the pink razor too. And it was probably the biggest POS phone I ever owned. I had to get a new one every other week. But it was soooo cooooool! :)
