Happy Friday everyone!

We’ve survived another week! How?! This no-doubt had to be one of my busiest weeks of the year so far! I had something going on literally everyday. Monday was the book club’s first meeting. Tuesday was pole class at ACA. Wednesday I had a hair appointment (cut off 3 whole inches – I’m crying). Thursday was opening night at Dickey-Stephens ballpark. Tonight, I’m headed to the north side of the river for a surprise birthday party. *catches breath*

How was your week?

Before I get into the links and other things, I have a reminder. TOMORROW is Beer Yoga at 10 am presented my Cheers & Namaste via Rebel Kettle Brewing Company. I will be at this! Or let’s just say I hope I will be at this predicting I don’t go too crazy at the surprise party tonight. I mentioned it in the April events that I posted on Sunday. C’mon – only 10 dollars for the sesh!

On the note of ~namaste,~ today I took a leap and signed up for the 2018 Bikini or Bust challenge hosted by ZenStudio. I went to one of their free barre classes last Saturday to check them out and totally vibed with their atmosphere. Oh, and disclaimer: they offer way more than just yoga and barre. For a couple of days, I pondered the idea of doing this challenge but today I officially cut the cord before their final 5 spots filled up. I think this is exactly what I need right now. The boyfriend and I are basically at the height of self-actualization that we need to be more active. Plus, since summer is right around the corner we need our lake bods. This was the absolute best deal I could swing right now. My 5 credits are almost up at ACA and I won’t be purchasing any more until I decide that that’s what I want for sure. Although it saddens me, I’ll be taking a short hiatus from the circus life.

Anyway, links!!!

If you’re interested, the book club is reading You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero for its first book. If you read my current reads post, you already know I’m a snob for self-help and empowerment books. Coincidentally, this book was already on my reading list.

Where are my fellow ’94 babies? Personalized ‘Year’ sweatshirts – yes, I’ve finally found the custamizable!

 Speaking of customizable – these boater hats would be a great gift for those summer babies (ahem, me) or beach bach parties!

These cutie earrings bring me so much joy just from the colors!

Hmmm, will 2018 be the year I learn to sport a one-piece? Stay tuned this summer to find out!!!

Woah, how convenient is it that Jessica would post about hair the week that I get mine chopped?! I guess it’s time to stock up on biotin and start paying attention to the way I care for my hair (possibly look into other supplements too).

 These wide-leg pants remind me of sailing! Such a water-type thing to say…

 Right now, Urban is promoting their sale items with an extra 30% off. Looks like a good time to stock on winter essentials like this long wool coat. Word from the wise – buy your winter clothes in summer and summer clothes in winter to get the best deals on seasonal pieces.

Update – still dreaming of traveling to France. Second update – still NOT THERE. Le sigh.

I’m still a huge fan of this grid pattern.

Who doesn’t love the classic striped tee?! I love the text feature as well!

This beach dress… and really their whole pineapple collection… is adorable! Falling back in love with the Natural Life.

Have a great weekend!
