I’ve tried to downsize my bag/purse which means minimizing the items in there as well. Easier said than done. 😉 Other than my cell phone and occasional bobby pins that get thrown in there, I have some staples that I don’t like to leave without. Here’s a peek in my bag for your Tuesday! 🙂

 

What are some of the things you can’t leave the house without?!

It was a week after Eric proposed. We were in awe of God’s plan and extremely thankful for the timeline set in front of us. We had our ducks in a row because this wasn’t exactly something that came out of a nowhere. We talked for months about what building a life together would look like. We were fortunate enough to have a lot of things since we both lived on our own for awhile but definitely had some things that would be helpful to start a home for two. We are both practical people. We don’t need a lot but we prefer quality over quantity any day. We were at Target (and later on Williams-Sonoma) with the scanner in our hands and realized the possibilites were endless. 😉 Fast forward a year and a half later and we use everything we registered for. No lie. Everything. 

Some of the items we received are simply conducive to our style and work great in our space. Then there are the items that no matter your hobbies or style, should appear on your wedding registry. These are things that come in handy for any household, anytime, any day.Kitchen-Gadgets1. KitchenAid Mixer/ 2. Spiralizer/ 3. Bella Juicer/ 4. KitchenAid Food Processor/ 5. Vitamix

We leave for Colorado so soon! After living there for a summer, I am ecstatic to go back and visit family, the mountains, and all the trails. The best part? Bringing Eric along since he has been Colorado-obsessed since the second I met him. I’m packing light and practical, according to my standards that is. 😉 I’ll be bringing all my hair and make-up items that I’ve talked about before along with a few fancier options for when we go to dinner and whatnot. We’re coming for you, Colorado! 🙂

Let’s Talk: Summer Plans + Winner!

letstalkAndrea, Erika, and I are talking all about summer plans which is convenient since summer break starts in 3 days! THREE DAYS PEOPLE! 🙂 Summer is my favorite season and I am so excited for this particular summer! This summer includes vacations and a lot of time spent with the ones we love. We are headed to Colorado in just a few short days to see everything it has to offer and visit my family all in one. We plan on hiking, biking, going to wineries, kayaking, and taking it all in. We celebrate our one year anniversary and will most likely reminisce about our wedding day at least ten times.

I’ll be tutoring and babysitting one day a week which leaves a lot of free time that I am SO thankful for. I plan on spending time outside, by the pool, a beach trip here or there, and a lot of cooking and baking. What types of recipes do you want to see?! I plan on catching up on the never-ending list of things I’ve put off during the school year and catching up on a lot of sleep in the mix of it all! 🙂 I’m wholeheartedly ready for you, summer!

Head over here to see who the winner of the $50 PinkBlush Gift Card is! Thank you to everyone who entered! I loved reading all of your sweet comments! 🙂
