Happy almost weekend. April is the busiest month I've had in recent memory. Lots of work stuff and lots of social stuff to navigate! All great things, but man, I am going to need a nap when things slow down come June!
I love being busy. However, if the busyness goes on for too long without a breather, I start to panic a little that I'm missing out on life because I crave the feeling of slowing down and having the time to really take it all in. Then, if I slow down for too long, I worry I'm missing out on life because I'm not doing enough. What a catch-22. It's a fine balance. Champagne problems, yes, but life, man.
Last week, I launched my Beth Ladd collaboration, and thanks to your amazing support, the collection is nearly sold out. I truly did not anticipate that it would sell out. I was shocked, to say the least. Thank you all for your kindness, for shopping the pieces, and for engaging with my content. It means more than you know! We are still hosting a giveaway for The Sizzle in early May. I am currently ordering 'favorite things' to put in the bag, so it will be a good giveaway that you won't want to miss.
Last Friday, I was on a panel at the University of Pittsburgh's Katz School of Business. They were hosting an influencer marketing conference, and the attendees were graduate students and marketing professionals. I was able to stay for the entire conference, and I loved it. Being on the panel was great, but learning from others was even better. I love to learn, and I can't believe that graduate students and professors are doing research and further legitimizing my career. My job can be confusing to many people. I don't blame anyone nor expect anyone for not understanding because it can actually be complicated and intricate. It was truly a treat to be in a room with people in my industry that 'get it'.
Did you all catch the eclipse?! We had 97% coverage, which was really cool to see. Otherwise, this week, I've been working a lot at my desk. We will be traveling soon, and I'm trying to give myself as real a vacation as I can, so I am working ahead!
I'm trying to be proactive and start packing now. It's not going well, but at least it's going! It is my birthday on Sunday, so we have lots of plans all weekend to celebrate. I also booked myself a massage that I am *really* looking forward to!
Wearing: Love this stripe set! It's something I will wear so often as it is comfortable for computer days and walks with Henry but looks polished at the same time! Are you following me on the LikeToKnowIt app?! You can shop all of my outfits, favorite finds, and more in the app. I am constantly updating it with the latest! You can also access all of my posts, here, if you don't use LTK!
Drinking: Friday, I went to a friend's 30th birthday party, and it was a bourbon-tasting theme! It was adorable! I'm not a bourbon drinker, but my sister went to the University of Kentucky, so I'm decently versed in bourbon, and my husband loves it we have all sorts of bourbon, but, again, it's not something I drink, really. I will say, I enjoyed tasting many different things side-by-side to get an idea of what I like. I honestly can't say I loved any of it, but this bulleit rye was my favorite out of everything we tasted. Apparently, I'm a 'rye' gal. I can't say I'll be pouring a glass anytime soon but it was fun!
Reading: If you are a big Palm Royale fan, this Bazaar article is a treat! It talks about the costuming and some behind-the-scenes things. After reading it, I promptly added this book to my cart!
Listening: I've been very into Eric Clapton lately. She's Waiting has been on repeat!
Loving: My neighbor got me this beautiful blue and white planter for my birthday, which was so thoughtful!!! It is gorgeous. Can you believe it was from Amazon?! The quality is amazing. I just love it so much!
Wanting: I love this pink and green sweater tank! I am eyeing these sneakers. Just got this pink dress and love it!
Pittsburgh: I had an early birthday dinner with my husband and parents on Saturday and finally tried Mola in East Liberty. It was SO good. I'm already planning to go back! We got some of what felt like everything! The gyudon with udon noodles was next level.
Cable Sweater (13 color options)
Amazon Rec: I got this in pink and loved it so I snagged it in white. I pictured it styled with tennis skirts and I think it looks so cute! It's a great price and the quality is pretty good! It runs TTS (roomy). This is me in a size small! You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!
Smelling: I got this hand soap refill on Amazon without smelling it. I need a refill for a specific soap bottle and wanted to try something new and this smells wonderful! It's sweet orange, cedarwood, and sage!
