LINK-END ROUND-UP: October 05, 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Friday, peeps! Here we are at another Friday where I feel like I’m being choked by my to-do list. You might recall that last week my job was moving locations, which turned into an all weekend situation. It was typical move of exhaustion followed by trying to locate items and boxes. Luckily, I only needed to fill up a medium size box with my belongings. Unfortunately, I didn’t find that one box until the other day.

We’re still trying to get organized, but we’re getting there. Now,  just need to get back to my personal to-do list. At the top of my list is setting up a long overdue eye doctor appointment. Last week I finally found a couple of options, but now I just need call to set up an appointment. Hoping to get to that today – no later than tomorrow.

Another thing I really need to do this weekend is finish setting up my halloween decorations. I have all the decor out, but now I just need to style. Honestly, my new neighbor has really gone all out. She added some decorations to her front door, which look staight out of a Pinterest board. I’ve got to get it together.

While step my fall festive decor up, please check out the reads in this week’s Link-End Round-Up.

LUST-HAVE LIST: October 2023

LUST-HAVE LIST: October 2023

LUST-HAVE LIST: October 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy October! They way that September just breezed in and out this year is unsettling. However, I’m not complaining, because it feels like I have a birthday/anniversary to remember every day in September, including my own birthday. So, again, I’m not complaining it just would have been nice to get a breather. I guess that’s October is going to be for me – a breather.

Now that it’s officially Fall and October, I’m ready for the cool weather and fun festivities. Here are some of the things I would love to acquite this month.

LUST-HAVE LIST: October 2023

  • Quilted Hinged Bracelet – I’ve been wanting to find a thick gold hinged bracelet that didn’t break the bank. This is just the right width and I even like the quilted detail.
  • Duvet Puffer Jacket– The weather is supposed to start dropping soon and I need a ligtweight puffer coat. Saw this one at Target and it’s perfect and super soft.
  • Ultra Mini UGG boots – It’ almost UGG season and I’ve been eyeing a couple of new styles, but this super short classic style is my favorite. I think they’ll be easy to slide on and go – like flip flops.
  • Nike Invincible 3 – My job recently moved even closer to me and I will actually be able to walk towork in 5 minutes. So, I need some new sneakers to walk in. I was thinking about jumping on the HOKA bandwagon, but I can’t get with the look of them. The Nike Invincible have great reviews and look similar to the HOKA, but not as chunky.
  • Kate Spade Cherie Perfume – For my birthday, one of my dearest friends let’s me pick out a “little happy” at Target – I love her so much! I picked out the purse size of this Kate Spade Cherie perfume and I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist while driving home. lol It’s a perfect blend of  fruity and floral, but with a tangy kick. Needless to say, I think I need the full-size!

Happy Friday, loves! This may be a very quick post, because I today is a hectic day. By the time you’re ready this, I will be in the middle of a move and feeling overwhelmed.  My company is moving locations, which is exciting. However, the actual moving part is kind of stressful, but at least we have movers doing the brunt. I’m mostly stressed about making sure everything arrives over to the new space the same way it left the old space.

Since I’m not a fan of change, I’m a little in my feels. We moved to this space a month after I started, which was over 4 year ago. Back then, I was the customer support manager and now I’m the operations manager. They are not lying when they say a lot can happen in short time.

Although I’m going to be a little sad about leaving this place, but the new office is right across the street. LOL! I have a huge office space, bu I probably won’t do anything except hang my diplomas and a couple of plants. We’re going to be in walking distance of many more resturaunts and a grocery store with a Starbucks. Speaking of walking, I will be a quick 5 minute walk to work, which means that I need to start looking for a new pair of walking shoes. I should’ve asked for a pair for my birthday. 🙁

Let me go ahead and wrap this post up, because I need to make sure I have everything packed up before the movers get here. However, please enjoy the articles in this week’s Link-End Round-Up.

Happy Friday, friends! Have ya’ll been stressed all week because 3 of your 4 nephews had birthdays this week or is it just me? Luckily, today is the last one’s birthday and I’m going to take him and his brother lunch. I will then have a quick break until my birthday on Tuesday, which I plan to spend taking the day off. I’ve reached the point where I  just want to spend my birthday doing nothing. Now that I share my birthday month with my 3 youngest nephews, I need that break.

One thing that’s on my agenda is to finally decorate my balcony. I bought the stuff, but I need to put it up. If I don’t do it this weekend, that’s what I’m going to be doing on my birthday. However, I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about taking the day off because it’s the day before we’re moving office space at work. Well, now, I feel like it’s going to be the perfect time so that I can rest before such a hectic move.

On second thought, maybe I should knock out the plans to do my balcony this weekend. That way, Tuesday will be all about doing nothing. I can’t wait! Still, I hope you have an amazing weekend and please check out the articles in this week’s Link-End Round-Up.
