Another Friday and another Link-End Round-Up!
This week went by fast, well it feels like it to me. Although, I was still overwhelmed with a a lot of work-related stuff, I found was to help calm me and stressed-induced increase of my blood pressure. One thing I did was bring a book that was just easy to read, but also funny. Laughing is one of the best remedies for stress. The book I chose was Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, which she released and I bought years ago. However, I never finished it, as usual.
So, whenever I need a break from staring at the computer screen while typing manic-like, I take a quick 5 minute breather by reading a chapter from the book. This quick technique has helped me immensely this week.
I only have one mission this weekend: Buy a new sofa! My current sofa is very outdated and not in that retro chic vibe. No, girl, this is just old looking in all in all it’s dingy tan glory. So, hopefully, I will be moving that one to the curb (literally!) and replacing it with a newer and cuter sofa. I would love to get a bright colored or velvet sofa, but I’m not sure how well my sister would like it or more importantly just how long I will like it. I change my mind a lot, because well…ovaries!
In the meantime, here are some things and reads that rocked my world this week. Enjoy!
- This DIY marble plates and bowls is on my list of things to try soon.
- NFL Players doing (or trying to do) their daughter’s hair is adorable and funny at the same time.
- What do nail problems say about your health.
- Target launches gender neutral kids’ bedding and decor line; Pillowfort. So cool and I love the name!
- Strawberry Brownie Skewers. Perfect V-Day dessert!
- I’m a sucker for all black oversize sunglasses. (Want’em!)
- This underwater museum is very cool…and a little creepy, but still bucket list-worthy.
I love those marble plates! Maybe I’ll get up the courage to try to make them!
