High Five For Friday!

One. I have another bridal shower coming up.  For the hostesses, I made these cute little air fresheners as a gift.

Two. The Onstar mobile app is a lifesaver when it's hot out.  I start up my car right before I head to the locker rooms after the gym and by the time I get out to my car it's cool.  :)

Three. I bought a new rug last week. I love it and look forward to decorating the rest of my living room. More to come on that little project...

Four. I stopped at Whole Foods and picked up my favorite snacks from the store - Peppermint water (so refreshing) and Macaroons! Yum!

Five. Last Saturday I spend the day on the golf course with some really fun ladies.  I tell you what - pink golf balls are the way to go. You always know which one is yours and it's hard to lose.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend - enjoy the summer weather! :)

Sponsor Meet & Greet: Megan, Stella & Dot Independent Stylist

I am thrilled to introduce you to my sponsor, Megan, an independent Stella and Dot Stylist!  I love jewelry and bags. A girl can never have too much of a good thing!  Plus, awesome jewelry and a great bag can change the look of any outfit.  Enjoy this jewelry preview and definitely follow Megan's Stella and Dot Facebook page so you can keep up with all of these specials!

Hi!  I'm Megan Tomlinson, an Independent Stylist for Stella & Dot.  First, let me say thank you to Beth (isn't she great?!) for allowing me this awesome opportunity to post about one of my passions...gorgeous jewelry!

In case you have not heard about Stella & Dot, they have an amazing line of jewelry and accessories.  You may have seen some of these beauties in InStyle, Lucky or Vogue.  

So, let me tell you a little about myself.  I am a thirty something full time pharmacist/systems analyst.  I married my college sweetheart (also a pharmacist...birds of a feather...), and we live in a suburb near Philadelphia.  I fell in love with Stella & Dot jewelry about a year ago, and I thought wouldn't it be fun to share this awesome line with other ladies?  I mean, how can you not have fun sharing a little girl time, possibly some wine, and fun fashion?  So, I became an Independent Stylist for Stella & Dot.  And I have loved every minute of it so far!  

Now, onto the important part...the jewels!  Let me start by saying that Stella & Dot really has something for everyone, from jewelry to scarves to bags.  (Check out their great bags for summer!  The Classic has definitely become my go to bag this season).  And the line is very affordable with a lot of items being less than $50!

The Classic

Some of my other favorites for the season...

The Olivia Bib Necklace.  The bright orange color adds a nice pop of color to any summer outfit.

The Capri Chandelier Earrings.  These beauties come in both turquoise and coral and can be dressed up or dressed down to be a staple in your summer wardrobe.

The Renegade Cluster bracelet.  This bracelet is so cute and just a little bit edgy.

Wedding Wednesday: Gifts For Bridesmaids

Last week I did a little post with gift ideas for groomsmen.  I received a lot of comments and notes of thanks for pulling ideas together into one place so I thought hey - why not pull ideas together for bridesmaids to share with you all this week!  

First, let me tell you, girls are way easier to buy for!! (Maybe it's because I'm a girl??) I could keep on buying for my bridesmaids but that would probably max out my wedding budget and I have a few big expenses left.  Here is a roundup of some of my favorite finds!

Hangers // Totes // Clutches // Monogram Necklaces // Robes

If you do some searching on etsy you can find some really great deals! What other ideas do you have?  Please share in the comments below!!

Lately...

I have come to believe that life just doesn't slow down.  Then take into consideration that I am getting married in less than 55 days and there are all of a sudden a lot of things happening at once.  Besides "wedding" here are a few things that are going on lately...

Believe it or not, I am battling ringworm.  Whaaattt??!! Yep, it's pretty gross and I had a near panic attack when I discovered it.  Adam caught it this winter - probably from our cattle or cats (did you know cats are big time carries of ringworm?!) and I was so fortunate to not catch it.  That is, until his went away two weeks ago.  Then I found a round circle on my back! It will look perfect on my back with my wedding dress I'm sure... Luckily it's almost gone thanks to a sunburn, iodine (This helps get rid of ringworm.  The pharmacist was shocked too) and some leftover medicine from Adam it's nearly gone.  Whew - dodged that bullet!

On a high note - I've been working at getting my nails to grow and the Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Daily Nail Treatment is working!  My nails are getting harder and longer.  I really don't want to wear acrylic nails for the wedding so I'm hoping this does the trick!

Our calves are growing like weeds!  Remember this farm tour post from February when they were just little peanuts?! In just over a month we will start to wean them from their mama's and turn them into pets... sort of. :)

Meet cow #62.  She is my favorite...

The weather has been completely crazy here... yikes! We have gotten so... much... rain...  

Here are a couple of weather shots I took last Saturday.  The sky was gorgeous and I loved how all of the colors looked so vibrant and bold against it!

Here's a look across the road at our neighbor's farm site.  I love the bright red buildings and green grass against the gray sky!!

And just when we thought the weather was going to turn around some "fishy" weather hit our farm site.  Neither Adam nor I were home but a huge tree in our pasture was knocked down, our feeders were flipped over, branches were all over the place and this limb was literally caught in the fence.  Crazy!!  If only our cows could talk and tell us what in the world happened!

Oh yea - and in the midst of all of this. I would like to (slowly) redecorate our living room.  I'm starting with this new rug from Pottery Barn.  I love it!  So glad I went with an 8x11 rug!  More to come on this little (past time) project.

I think that's all for now!  I hope you all have a fantastic Tuesday!!
