Friday Happiness

I'm not sure about you, but this week was a tough one. Work was crazy and life was crazy, but we can all breathe a sigh of relief because it's Friday, and it's time to celebrate the weekend! Tomorrow is filled with lots of "me" time (i.e. yoga, a mani/pedi, and some shopping), and then I'll be celebrating my bff's 25th birthday! Sunday will be more low key and I'm hoping to spend the day outside working on my photography skills! What's on your agenda this weekend?

Friday Happiness

Back when May first started I had this huge sigh of relief that the month didn't have any serious plans, and I could actually be around town and hang out a bit. Little did I know how quickly my weekends would fill up. This weekend, I'll be packing my bags to head back to my hometown, but hopefully first, a little pit stop for some pizza (which I've been craving since Tuesday). Tomorrow is a busy day, filled with dance rehearsals and a dinner date with family from out-of-town, and then Sunday will be all about my amazing mom, and we'll be heading up to Connecticut to see my 98-year-old great-grandmother. A packed weekend is an understatement. Let's hope I can come out alive on the other side! Cheers to a fab weekend everyone!

This marathon of a week is finally over, and I couldn't be happier. This is the first weekend in a while where I won't be running and logging crazy miles, where I won't be traveling, and where I'll be able to do some personal maintenance (aka finally getting my highlights touched up--so long overdue), hang out with friends, and I'll be able to actually enjoy some chill time. May is shaping up to be a pretty busy month, so I'm taking advantage of this weekend and I'm looking forward to relaxing! Cheers to a fab--and warm!--weekend!

Happy last Friday in April! Can't believe how fast this month has flown by. I've been so consumed with traveling and training for half marathons this month, that April totally blew past me. It's a little reminder that I need to enjoy each moment, and live my life one day at a time. 

That being said, I'm super excited to head down to Washington, D.C. this weekend for a fun weekend of half marathon events. I'll be running the Nike Women's Half (check out the post I wrote for Fitness Magazine), and I'm so ready to crush another 13.1 miles. I'm looking forward to checking out such an iconic city, and spending some quality time with my dad, who will be my cheering squad this weekend!

Happy weekend!

Friday Happiness

I was never really into astrology, but my boss is big on it, and in the past few years I've kind of jumped on the bandwagon. That's not to say that I necessarily believe everything that my horoscope tells me (you can't always look too deeply into it), but I have noticed how it can be right in many ways, and I've found myself looking to my horoscope to tell me how my life is going to play out. Sounds silly--trust me, I know--but once you start reading Susan Miller, you're life will change...drastically. 

That being said, April 1st was on Monday, so naturally, I couldn't wait to read what the planets have in store for me for the month. There was lots of talk about financials and my career, and little about love and friendships (kind of a bummer since that's what I'm usually more interested in). Since I'm supposed to be focusing on money and how to make it big, I've decided that this month, I'm going to take the time to actually sit down and work on my resume (I've been putting it off for a long time), sign up for the photography class that I've been saying I'm going to take (probably a good idea since I just got a brand new DSLR camera), and I'm going to actually focus on making my career what it's supposed to be, and what I want it to be, not just what I'm comfortable with. 

Cheers to a brand new month, but most importantly, the weekend.

Friday is back! I'm super excited to celebrate Passover with my family this weekend. Lots of eating, laughing, more eating, and well, uh...eating? Yes. Wishing you all the best this holiday weekend!

Friday Happiness

I realized this week just how lucky I am. I've always been so appreciative of my job and the opportunities that it's brought me, but sometimes I take it for granted. I constantly tell people how my job is just as stressful as theirs, how I sit at a desk in front of a computer most days, and how I don't make enough money. But the reality is, my job is really cool. I get to travel to cool cities like Miami and LA, stay in amazing hotels, eat at the best restaurants, and in the case of my last trip, work on the beach in the sun all day long. Seriously, there's not much to complain about, other than the crispy burn I got from being in the sun for three straight days. When I stop and really look around, I realize how amazing my life really is, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Hope you all have a great weekend! I know I'll be celebrating my big 2-5 this weekend with all of my family and friends.

Friday Happiness

I'm looking forward to this weekend for a few reasons:

1. My best friends are coming to visit from Boston for the weekend, to help celebrate my birthday a little early! Can't wait for them to see my apartment, have girl time, and party like we're still in college. 

2. We're getting blowouts at Drybar on Saturday afternoon, and I couldn't be more excited. It's been a while since I've been, but it is one of my fav beauty indulgences. 

3. I get to go home on Sunday afternoon to visit my parents, see my brother, and of course spend time with the little pupcake. Feels like ages since we've all been together.

4. I'm headed on the first flight out of NY for Miami on Monday morning! It's a work trip and it's going to be crazy busy, but I'm super excited for sun and warm weather. Hopefully I'll come back up north with a little bit of a tan. Would be perfect and just in time for my birthday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Be back on here as soon as I'm back from Miami!

Friday is back and I'm counting down the hours until I can get out of the office and take off for the weekend. I'm heading to Mystic, CT for a few days with my guy (a super belated holiday present!) and we'll be spending the weekend getting lost in one of my favorite little towns. After a week of being super sick, I'm looking forward to some relaxation and of course, some yummy seafood.
