Woo hoo! It's Friday!

I love the dynamic of the weekend and the good vibes it brings.  Despite being on my summer vacation and the fact that I work from home, I feel like my favorite summer moments happen on the weekends.  It's when I unplug from the blog and step away from any and all work that I have.  On top of that, I feel like it's a good opportunity to spend time with both my family and Tim's since everyone is around!

I have a pretty busy week ahead of me so I am looking forward to taking the weekend to relax and prepare for a week of meetings and one very, very important interview.

For now, here are a few things I'm loving right now...

1.  This blog.

2.  These shoes from Target, which I bought today...along with like 4 dresses....oops.

 

3.  The idea that Fall clothes are on the horizon.  They were all over Target in a "Fall Preview" section and I was so excited.

4.  This perfect little guide from specialsections.suntimes.com:

5.  Birchbox...I can't wait to get mine!

6.  This article on public relations and how to have better objectives

That's it for now!  Have a lovely weekend and come back soon :)

A private moment

Sometimes when I go to write on the blog I just want it to be private.  I don't want to put it on social media so that people I know can read it.  I just want to publish it on the blogosphere for my readers and passersby to take a glance at.  Even though it has the chance of being seen by a ton of strangers, it still feels private.  As if all of you have stopped to have a quiet conversation with me.

The thing I love about this blog is simply that it's mine.  I have this outlet to share my opinions at all times.  In some ways I am still struggling to find my confidence and my voice, but this blog is teaching me much more than I ever thought.  It's teaching me to be loud, confident, proud, happy, strong and opinionated.  It's teaching me not to worry about other people's thoughts and stick up for myself.

And so even when I write something that feels private, I am learning that the best thing I can do for myself is put it out there.  If nothing else, it helps me get out of my comfort zone.

Happy almost Friday everyone <3
