Weekly Recap: 5 Things That Got My Attention

It’s Sunday, and I know you’re probably working off brunch and anxiously awaiting the Breaking Bad season finale tonight, but, just in case you missed them, here are a few of my favorites from the web, things I discovered and where I’ve been this week.

 

What made me laugh: Will Ferrerll’s 2013 Emmy Awards Video

What quenched my thirst: Vita Coco Pure Coconut Water with Peach & Mango. I’m always hearing about the health benefits of coconut water, but never liked the taste. Finally, this one does the trick. I also like to add it to smoothies. Does my skin look shiny and new?

What I found: Desk shelf for my elliptical machine. Most of my great ideas come to me when I’m in the shower, driving, or working out. This seems to be the safest and driest place to write of all three. I have no idea if this will work, but I figure it’s worth a try. (Amazon)

What tickled my fancy: Mini-me’s 20th birthday is this week. I’m going to surprise her with these adorable tennis shoes from Marimekko. (Mini-me, if you’re reading this, act surprised!)

Where I’ve been: If you’ve ever wondered about the oh so glamorous side of being a blogger, then this is for you. The Women of GenFab show off their workspaces. (Sounds kinda naughty.) P.S. Shame on whoever contributed the just rolled-out-of-bed selfie. Have you no pride woman…wait, that was me.

    Those tennis shoes are adorable. I’m going to check those out for my own “mini-me”. And i loved seeing all the work spaces of the Generation Fabulous team. It was nice to know that I’m not the only person who works at the dining room table. I’m envious of your “big girl” office!

Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light o Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light of day on @thegirlfriendletter. And a hearty thanks to @profwendywood, author of Good Habits, Bad Habits, for her words of wisdom. I wrote this back in February, before Covid threw us all a curveball. One thing that I realized is that whether or not we’re in quarantine, many of our basic human traits remain the same. Once a perfectionist, always a perfectionist...until I learned that that mindset was actually holding me back. Love to hear your thoughts.

So excited to start this book! It’s been hard to So excited to start this book! It’s been hard to tear my eyes away from the news to read for pleasure, but it’s a necessity. My favorite time to read is in the morning when I first wake up, when I’m still cozy in bed. How about you? #untamed #glennondoyle #readingforpleasure #readinginbed #readingwomen

So thankful for every little bit of normalcy I can So thankful for every little bit of normalcy I can get. Playing Mahj with my mahjagals is one of my most favorite things to do. Plus, it’s so good for the brain! (Click on the link in my bio to read about my love affair with the game and what it’s done for my life).
