Weekly Round Up
Happy Friday!
How was everyone’s week? Did anyone do anything exciting? I’d love to hear in the comments below. My week was pretty good. I’m off today so a four day week always goes by faster! This weekend I’m headed back home to see my parents and my cousin that I don’t get to see that often. The last time I saw him was last September and before that I think it had been like three years. It’s so hard to see family all the time when they live in different states and even countries. But, it makes it that much better when you do see them!
Below are the articles from today’s weekly round up post. I hope you all love them!
Food:
I love Greek food. The marinades and flavors are just so good! I stumbled upon this recipe for a Greek chicken marinade from Foodie Crush and I really want to try it. If you love Greek food too, check out the recipe below!

I love salty and sweet combo’s. One of my faves growing up was chicken ramen noodles with Trolli sour brite gummi worms (on the side). I know that’s a REALLY weird combo but it’s legit so good. While I’m one of the very few people in the world who does not like chocolate, this recipe for Smoreo Popcorn sounds awesome for those who also love salty and sweet combo’s! This would be perfect for a movie night.

I love Acai bowls! There’s so many different variations you can make, including popsicles! I’ve never thought that I could turn this into a popsicle before even though now it seems like such an obvious thought. These will definitely be great for those warm summer days ahead!

So, I just found out when Season 3 of This Is Us launches and I am freaking out of excitement. I’m so obsessed with this show because it depicts real life so well.

Fashion:
I’m not always a big fan of cover-ups. I’ve always just brought soffee shorts and a tank top to the beach. But every now and then I find one that I like! Jenna from Styled Jen shared this stunning mint green cover-up on her Instagram that would look so pretty on top of any suit.

Where are all of my girl boss’ at?! I love a good power suit. I feel fierce and confident instantly! This purple linen suit that Camila Coelho shared on her Instagram made me feel like I could conquer any board room meeting!

I love tassel details on pretty much any style: dresses, shorts, cover-ups, you name it! Lauren from Life To Lauren shared the cutest tassel back tunic from her dinner the other night and I seriously want it!

I love every shade of pink and red for the most part. The colors look so great on pretty much everyone! Kat Tanita shared this gorgeous dress on her Instagram this week and the color looks absolutely stunning on her. Not to mention she matches the beautiful flowers in the photo too!
