1. ONLINE…

this week I’ve tried really hard to be cognizant of my screen time (TV, computer, and phone, etc). I usually don’t watch TV because I don’t prioritize it, unless the bachelor is on, but even then I record it because ya know…2 hours is a lot. With my phone I started setting intentional time aside to scroll through IG, FB, make cycle playlists because all of those things are rabbit holes! So – this is totally stemming from how the iPhone is now sending me “reports” of my “screen time” saying it was up/down from the week prior. It’s clearly a love hate relationship I have with it.

2. CURRENTLY…

RN…

loving my audible account! I made the goal to read 1 book per month last year and I read 4. I just didn’t make the time because other things were more important to me. So instead of going and renting a book from my local library, I’m using audible for straight up convenience! Lemme tell you, it’s been so great! So far, I’ve listened to: “Becoming”, “You Are A Badass”, “You’re a Badass at Making Money”, and “Dressing on the Side, and Other Myths”. What have y’all been reading lately?

waiting on…

my next audible credit to hit my account! I’m sooooo hooked

3. CRAVING…

crafting, spring cleaning my Google drive/office/apartment/pantry/wardrobe/social media/ALL.THE.THINGS, Prosseco, and learning

4. TASTING…

everything Gluten Free

it’s National Celiac Awareness Month and at work we have a huge month-long campaign going to bring awareness to what Celiac is. So in the office (and in-store) there is been NO shortage of products to taste test! Something I always like to point out is that gluten free does not mean healthier. Pay attention to how you body (and mind) feels with all foods you put in!

a-a-a-a-ah-alcohol…

have you ever had a wine that wasn’t to your liking but you didn’t want to waste it? This is how I feel about Riesling and Lambrusco. I can appreciate them, but they aren’t my favorites. So in order to not waste them I make spritzers! With both I like to add them to a plain or grapfruit flavored sparkling water. It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for spring and summer!

recipes…

charcuterie boards have been my go to lately! I love buying a few things I don’t plan on eating but it’s always nice to have incase I get into that munch state: 1 cucumber, a bag of carrots, a couple extra pieces of fruit, etc. So if I don’t eat them throughout the week I can easily transition them to a charcuterie board for Friday/Saturday dinners!

5. BABY SHOWES BRING MAY FLOWERS

all of the baby announcements are popping up right now and I’m absolutely loving it! My husband and I don’t have kids just yet but we’d like them eventually…but until then I’ve got his high school football and basket teams to take care of (lord help us with our food bill if we have boys). So in the mean time I’m love seeing what all of these expecting and new mommas have on their wishlists. Here are my top 3 favorite baby shower gifts:

6. GIANT SALADS

I love a good salad but when it comes in a bowl as large as my torso (mild exaggeration) my game face is on! Spring flavors (and colors) are so hot right now so get creative with your next one #nosaddeskssaladsallowed

Here’s to hoping your week starts off on a positive note!
