Weekly Round Up
Happy Friday!!!
I thought this Friday needed a few extra exclamation points. Not for any reason in particular, but sometimes I think we just need to get a little more excited about each day. I will say though that this week was definitely a struggle. I had a hard time getting up to work out, once I was at the gym it was hard for me to work out, and throughout the week I just felt super tired. Did anyone else have a similar week? I am so looking forward to sleeping in this weekend and enjoying the days off.
Plus, Chandler found an awesome deal on Groupon for tickets to Cirque Du Soleil for Saturday and I’m really excited. I’ve never been before but I’ve heard it’s an incredible experience. Have you ever been?!
Below are this week’s round up articles. I hope you all love them!
Food:

Is anyone else shopping for their significant other’s birthday this month? Chandler’s birthday is next week and I still don’t know what to get him. I swear it just crept up on me. I mean, I’m still in shock that it’s August! This list from Cosmopolitan has a ton of options for different types of guys, which I really liked! I hope it gives you some good ideas.

I will always applaud good marketing but that’s because I’m a marketing nerd haha! One of my favorite restaurants, Olive Garden, shared the funniest tweet this week featuring a makeup palette with food themed colors. It doesn’t look like it’s actually happening anytime soon, but, if it does I’m in!

I’ve been reworking the budget lately to have better control of what I’m spending every week/month. Cosmo shared an article about multiple women and the amount of money in their savings accounts. It also goes into detail on their tricks to saving money, as well as what they wish they could improve about their savings habits. I liked this article because it was very realistic. Some people have a lot and some don’t because of life circumstances. Regardless of the amount, there’s a ton of advice from multiple people that could really benefit you!

I fell in love with two piece sets this summer. I wasn’t sure at first if I could even wear them but after I tried one on I was like ok, I got this. Haha!
